Grams: A Peel programme from 1981 (Sessions from Ski Patrol and A Flock of Haircuts) which is currently sounding very 2005 in a cheerily post-punk manner. if a little faster than nature intended I suspect.

You know, I'd forgotten that SLF had a reggae-and-saxophone direction that made them sound like SoD.

Also: Peel torrents. I imagine you buggers knew all along. It's a terrible choice - the 80s Festive Fifties or the 90s? Obviously the 80s for me. They may be dead, but they feature far more Three Johns.

Meanwhile, can I feel less horrible please? I've just laughed my socks off watching Hammond piloting an expensive carbon fibre Trek badly across London - up the inside of buses and the saddle height was wrong, yet I still feel rancid. A pox on this, er, pox.

Oooh, I was previously unaware of that Peel site... that's my productivity for today down the drain! Cool!

I was quite amused to see the Hamster batting across Londoom on a bicycle, even if he was rather inexpert in his setting up and handling of the machine it did prove that a reasonably fit blokus ordinarius can beat the car through rush hour traffic[1]. This is something I think that some of the Top Gear audience could well do with seeing.
