Ever wondered how many modes of transport are referenced throughout @ChrisDeBurgh 1989 album “Spark to a Flame”? Well, thanks to an hour at my computer earlier, you need wonder no more. You’re welcome.

We're staying at a @TravelodgeUK. As my partner just said: "Travelodge is way better than it used to be. It's even as good as a @premierinn these days." Which is a tag line if ever there was one.

I wonder if any of these @Boro sources have met. "Which one are you?" "I'm the one who said Soton will be docked 10 points and Boro are off to Wembley." "Nice. I'm the one who said EFL are giving Boro a bye to the Prem AND a free Juninho in August as an apology."

We've got an extended Bank Holiday after @Enterprise gave us this car to travel north and back in. (Tyre Pressure warning flashed on the M1; I only noticed the baldness when I got 150 miles to Yorkshire). The kids are happy - they're missing school! (Thankfully they're safe too!)

Well #SNLUK was brilliant. Not even given that it's the first show, just as a show. Some really giggle-fit moments in there. It feels good as a UK viewer. Yes!

What New Year songs are there? 1) New Year's Day - U2 2) Happy New Year - ABBA 3) The Perfect Year - Dina Carroll (best one) I can't think of any others off the top of my frazzled head.

The best thing about the resurgence of vinyl reaching a new generation is that it means it's okay to use the record scratch SFX in all production again.

What a strike to send Scotland to the World Cup! If you're going to do it, do it dramatically. #Scotland

I'm watching the brilliant @tonyblackburn talking about chatbots on @BBCMorningLive as I try to get passed the Virgin Media chatbot to speak to a human. Apparently just saying "grapefruit" or "banana" repeatedly will help. Let's see in real time...

Finally managing to watch "Saturday Night". It's not Saturday, it's not live from New York... but I've got wine and chocolate so it seemed a good time.

Top of the Pops on U channel is from 19 June 1998. It may be one of the greatest episodes ever. Pretty much every song a classic.

Thanks to @AlBooth for hosting our fascinating evening with Chris Tarrant @mac_birmingham. So many amazing memories, from ATV Today and TISWAS to Tarrant On TV and Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. What a legend!

‘Interviewee’, rather than ‘interviewer’, this evening … talking fun music interviews, life as paddler & the transition from international canoeist to #loving80smusic journalist. With the lovely @AlBooth. End of an era for this awesome channel - we will miss you, @Notts_TV 😢

I love that Grimsby Town's manager David Artell is telling Ruben Amorim that he's "on the right track". (Presumably the track down to League 2 as well...)
