I remember singing The Lincolnshire Poacher in a choir. Cubs, maybe? That long ago, certainly, and we used to do concerts. So I think it was in Cubs.

I remember John Peel playing the whole of one side of Marvin Gaye’s album, ‘What’s going on?’. I was in the bathroom. Possibly having a bath. I don’t remember.

I remember Surbiton Lagoon. We didn’t go that often.

I remember standing in a doorway at a party and shielding Barbara from the unwanted attentions of Steve Holness. She thus became my first girlfriend. I can’t remember how she spelled her last name. But her nickname was Bra.

I remember a great line from last Saturday’s episode of Doctor Who. I will check but it went something like this: ‘Forgetting. The human superpower. If you didn’t have it there’d be no more wars. No more babies.’

I remember reading Mad magazine on the bus home from school.
