Back live on @noiseboxradio.com with the FIFTEENTH edition of Hodders' Schooldays from 7, that's gone quick! Still the regular hour of 90s and 00s goodness; Double Period, a chart double and an Obligatory Floorfiller as usual.
All the essentials to hand for @fcunitedmcr.bsky.social v Gainsborough Trinity. Bring on United! #FCUM
I'll alas be on Talking Newspaper duties at the maximum eclipse this evening but may try and get a few 10-15 mins after. Here's a few snaps from the 2015 one all the same.
Bit of amateur Rugby League with the forecast a tad unpredictable for cricket.
Today's cricket viewing is in Ashford-in-the-Water, a couple of miles from Bakewell; population 600 and it's well dressing season - lovely!
No snacks for me tonight. Twas a payday+friday+cut price by voucher Toby for yours truly, king size at that. 😍 #MWXS
A sun-drenched Broadhurst Park panorama for @fcunitedmcr.bsky.social v Hednesford Town, over 3000 tickets sold and easily that many here. The SMRE is well packed and in good song, magic. #FCUM
No basketball to tend to today, so a change of ball shape and rugby league. Not far from Wigan for Ince Rose Bridge v Leigh East, NCL North West Conference. Enjoy the attempt at a panorama on the phone.
In Phil Lynott we trust, his Mam a splendid hotelier up my way too. #TVLMWR
I'm back on the airwaves of Radio Alty this evening with a one-off (for now) return of Spinning in America, looking at US chart-toppers that missed the UK Top 40. 8pm GMT here: tinyurl.com/radioalty #SpinninginAmerica
Hoping to join @madwaspxs.bsky.social in the tail end of the pop half/start of the rock half, choir duties at t'Bridgewater Hall tonight with the massed choirs and the Hallé Orchestra. #mwxs
This hurts, a musical pioneer who is a major loss to the world of synthpop and beyond.
Been semi-lurking, evening all. May still be in a food coma from a king sized Toby earlier.. #mwxs
Atomic you say? Huzzah, a chance to use a relevant GIF from when NTNOCN used it.. #mwxs
Fittingly enough, one of the few singles I bought during primarily an LP haul at the record shop was a song I discovered via one of these specials. A good one at that! #Forgotten80s
Bar scarf, check. Pound for the ground ticket, obvious price. Admission - £15. Co-owning the club you support, priceless. Some things money can't buy, @fcunitedmcr.bsky.social is rightly one of them.
Looking through my record haul from that there St Retford yesterday, and among many good purchases in me £20 budget, #Forgotten80s folks I'm sure would approve of this from the 3 for a tenner racks.
@sbuma.bsky.social will certainly approve of one of my record purchases today 😏
