50 years ago, we pinned our hopes on a tricky winger to deliver us promotion from Division 2. I’ve written about the legend of Terry Curran for Oh Mist Rolling On this month. (Warning: may also include references to Eddie and the Hot Rods.)

50 years ago, I was spending all of my spare change at Virgin Records in Birmingham. Not only Dr Feelgood, but also Eddie and the Hot Rods. The only way is Canvey. #1976 #50years #Eddie&TheHotRods #DrFeelgood
On this day in 1976, Jimmy Savile presented Top of the Pops with the Wurzels, Cliff Richard, Kiki Dee, and the Bay City Rollers… then along came Eddie and the Hot Rods to save rock n roll. www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-vF... #50years #TOTP #Eddie&TheHotRods

Every home should have one. RIP David Hockney
Old School Punk Librarian@kennethf62.bsky.social · 3mo agoVery sad to hear the news that David Hockney has died. I've loved his work as long as I can remember. I bought this print in Paris in 1999 and it has hung everywhere I've lived since then. #DavidHockney

You know how there’s always a spoilt brat in infants who throws a tantrum whenever Jack or Karla get the medals for running or when Hanna and Ben get the stars for answering teacher’s questions? So the teacher invents a prize she can give him to stop him kicking off when OFSTED come in.
