@charltonbrooker Charlie Brooker
For no reason at all I have the phrase 'Elgin Marbles' stuck in my head, set to the tune of 'Eton Rifles'.

Did you waste many hours playing Manic Miner as a young Jogler?

As best I can remember the last time I heard it was on an E.L.O. album.
Remember them?
No?

It's an age thing

Possibly because I've been reading HG Wells, and someone suggested a ride based on the trail of destruction...

Kate Bush - Wild Man. Didn't impress me very much at first; there's not a lot to it, but what there is is stuck on repeat in my mind.

Album is out on the 21st.

Theme from monty python.

Mmm. That's quite invasive, isn't it? Haunting.

By contrast, this morning, I had Buzzcocks. Mainly 'What Do I Get?' But also 'Ever Fallen In Love...' (which is, at least, my favourite). My fault, really, because I'd been listening to them on Youtube last night, but I also listened to War of the Worlds, Squeeze, Blondie, Skids, Undertones, Magazine...

Surely "Fast Cars" might have been more appropriate on your commute? Or maybe not

Anyways I have BBC's Frozen Planet on iPlayer on in the background, and due to it I have this going around my head....

Thanks to Kim's comment here, I've now got the Ghostbusters theme running through my head (again, as if 118 118 weren't enough).

Still, at least I got to waste a bit of time looking for an update on Ghostbusters 3.

ELO's Wild West Hero (again) for no apparent reason.

Inexplicably, but not unpleasantly, as I turned onto the Wandle trail in Wandsworth, I got this, which persisted all the way home:

I had that several times on my E2E when I thought about the naysayers & doom merchants when I was having a good day & particularly when it was a dead cert that I was indeed going to succeeed.

'After All' by The Frank & Walters.

Quite welcome really.
