Happy #NationalAlbumDay everybody! And to celebrate here's my top 5 greatest albums of the '80s.

Are they all from Ronco? YES THEY ARE!
At no 5: Chart Runners vol 1 & 2. Featuring the epic New Wave sounds of Kissing The Pink! (1983). What was "The Last Film" YOU ever saw? I bet it was Tron!
At no 4: Street Level (1980)! Nothing says New Wave more than standing in an underpass wearing shades!
At no 3: The Hit Squad's Hits of '83 volumes 1 & 2! This is a school disco stone cold classic!
At no 2: Raiders of the Pop Charts parts 1 & 2! Any album with Best Years Of Our Lives by Modern Romance has to be great!
And the no 1 album of the '80s: Chart Wars - May The Hits Be With You (1982)! It starts with Duran Duran, it ends with Renee and Renato. All pop music is right here in this album!

More countdowns another time. Happy #NationalAlbumDay folks...

"All irregularities will be handled by the forces controlling each dimension." So begins one of the most enigmatic and chilling horror series ever broadcast by ITV. This is ita story.

"...Sapphire and Steel have been assigned.” #SundayThoughts Image
Britain's ITV network had a strong reputation for children's paranormal drama in the 1970s: Timeslip, Ace Of Wands and The Tomorrow People all featured people with extraordinary powers tackling mysterious foes. Image
Against this background writer Peter J. Hammond pitched the idea of a new children's show - initially called The Time Menders - to Thames Television. They declined, but rival ATV were impressed by the strength of the scripts and took the project on. Image

Happy #WorldEggDay everyone! Let's share a few egg facts to celebrate.

Did you know... a chicken's earlobes can predict what colour egg they will lay? Image
Fake chicken eggs are a problem in China. Manufactured false eggs made from resin, coagulent and starch in a counterfeit shell are being sold as real by fraudsters. #WorldEggDay Image
In 1806 con artist Mary Bateman scratched the words "Christ is coming" on numerous eggs before inserting then back up a chicken. She then charged people to see the 'miracle eggs' being laid. #WorldEggDay Image

Pulp is lowbrow and cheap, so it could skirt around the censorship laws of the 1950s and cover subjects that 'serious' novels had to hint at. And one taboo topic dominated pulp in the '50s...

For #InternationalLesbianDay this is the story of the 1950s lesbian pulp explosion!
There were a few pre-war novels that treated lesbians as serious characters in relationships with other women, but mostly the topic was handled in circumspect code.

However all that changed in 1950...
Women's Barracks by French author Tereska Torrès was published by Fawcett Gold Medal in 1950. Describing the lives of Free French Forces stationed in London in WWll it candidly discussed lesbian relationships and passions, and went on to sell over four million copies worldwide.
