- Comments
- ”Fat DJ plays obscure French Joy Division single at right speed shock.”
- Says there is a sad and depressing article about the Undertones in latest issue of Sounds that probably reflects the band’s current condition. Suggests they may need a long holiday – “Don’t we all, though?”
- After Chords song ‘Happy Families’, reveals that his brother Alan is coming to stay for six weeks – “We’ve hidden all the silver, mind you.”
- Claims that the day he was going to start a new exercise regime by going swimming “the day that I was supposed to go swimming, the local sports centre burned to the ground – you wouldn’t believe it possible, would you?”
- The Madness single is #6 in that week's BBC chart, with other places for the Jam, Vapors and Banshees, among others.
- Seeing the title of the new Toots & The Maytals album, (‘Just Like That’), “I had a brief, fleeting and wonderful vision of a reggae tribute to Tommy Cooper – something I should very much like to hear.”
