Wow, which was worse?
At the time I would have been listening to REM. Nirvana, Primal Scream, Teenage Fanclub and Massive Attack.
And what was no.1 before That? Jason Donavan warbling "Any dream will do" from Joseph and His Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat.
When I was a kid I used to listen to the new Top 20 on Radio One every Sunday and was parked in front of the telly for Top of the Pops every Thursday. I am certainly grateful I wasn't a kid in 1991

They started with 'I shall say zis only once'
Klopp 🤣… please Herr Klopp, come save our nation……🏃
Craig Bellamy speaking about his time at West Ham:
“Every day going into that training ground I would leave in stitches,”
“Even the old players who played for the club years ago would come in for their dinners, it was amazing honestly.”
“And do you know they get a bad rep the fans. But they were brilliant.”
“They’re the most knowledgeable fans of all of them I ever played for, you couldn’t kid ’em.”
“Do you know you see people go around kicking people and I’ve seen fans cheer like ‘Yea but he has a go’. He has a go at what?! He gives the ball away every time.
“There they won’t accept that. Because you’ve got to be a good player as well. ‘We expect you to have a go, we pay money for you to have a go, but what are you like on the ball and also what are you like when we’re not happy, do you still have the [guts] to go and get the ball?’
“And if you do then they’ll have you, they’re with you then. And I loved that about them, they weren’t kidded on because they’ve watched too many great players down the years, they’ve been brought up on Bobby Moore and all that type of stuff.
“It’s just a special club. So many players, like James Collins and all that, you don’t leave once you go there. You stay around there. Because it grips you, it’s that club it’s like once you’ve played for them you’re like ‘Oh I get it now, I get what this club is’.
“Even the humour of the fans, honestly. You see me smile as soon as I mention them. I just had so many happy memories there and even when I left I didn’t want to leave, honest truth you ask anyone there, I didn’t want to leave.”
Ignoring the fact that training had changed a bit between the 1060/70s and the 2000s
I ate too much at work, everyone bringing in cakes and sweets. I have a golf day up at Harpenden soon with my old office. The dilemma is do I rest completely and enter the comp 'green', or get some practice in and risk missing it 🙄
