As a proud child of the 80s, I can say with confidence, that this particular decade was one of the best for music. So many genres filling the charts in a very talented and diverse way. In the mid 80s, I was dancing around pretending to be Janet Jackson; with posters of Five Star on my wall. My mum would …
This Christmas
It’s beginning to look alot like Christmas… Did you read that as a singing Michael Bublé? I did and I’m not even sorry! You know it’s that time of year, when they thaw out Mr Christmas and drag him out of his cave. I love a good Christmas song! In the 80s and 90s, we were stuck in a tired …
Fallen Idol
Michael Jackson has been back in the news lately, after the release of the documentary, Leaving Neverland. New allegations have been made. It’s difficult viewing, as a human, let alone a fan. I have only watched half so far. It’s very graphic. R Kelly has also hit the news again. Allegations have plagued this man for years. More people are …

From 40 to Funeral in One Week
Well…the first week of my forties can kiss my ass! I am certain, there was a more mature sentence available but being ill on your birthday sucks, so ‘kiss my ass’ seems fair. My 48 hour cold, lasted the week and ended up with me calling NHS 111. I had a panic attack as I was convinced, I had an …
Missing Freddie
In 1991, Freddie Mercury passed away. He was only 45. He died on my birthday. I was 13 years old. One of my childhood friends loved Queen and it didn’t take long, for me to be hooked. Formed in 1970, they had a massive collection of hits, before I was even born. In July 1985, Queen took part in Live …
Top 5
Inspired by one of my favourite cult movies, High Fidelity, I have put together a few of my Top 5s. I used to play Top 5, on a Friday afternoon, at a previous job. Someone chooses a random subject and everyone picks their top 5. It was usually music and movies based. Much more fun than actually working. Waste of …
Sing it like you mean it!
The best slogan I have seen on a T Shirt in a long time is: If the love doesn’t feel like 90’s R&B I don’t want it! Genius. I hope I have the balls to walk up to the person wearing this little beauty and shout – PREACH! When I was growing up, there was always music playing at home. …
