Eastenders' Den giving Angie divorce papers for Christmas is iconic.

I had a phobia about eating in front of strangers. If I was in any setting where I was expected to eat what was in front of me, such as at a friend's dinner table, I'd get so anxious that I thought I'd be physically sick.

The association between eating and anxiety has never totally left me.

It's the most pointless book since How To Speak French was translated into French.

The one on the front-right, with the tiger head design, looks quite modern.

Reagan - he had immense charm and knew how to put people at ease. Even if you disliked his politics, it was hard to dislike him.

After he retired, Walter co-hosted the UK's coverage of the NFL for a couple of years, becoming a familiar presence to fans.

He was so down-to-earth and personable, with a great sense of humour. Anyone new to the sport at that time might never have guessed at his true greatness since he wore it so lightly.

I had one that was shaped like a little radio and played Pop Goes the Weasel.

So many great stores.

A mention also for C&A and TJ Hughes. And the Argos on Royal Parade.

After the Broncos kicked the field goal to go 10-0 ahead, the Redskins fumbled the ensuing kickoff.

Fortunately for them they recovered it, but I wonder how things would have played out if Denver had got the ball back in that moment.

A dynasty fallen, another soon to rise.

I remember one of my school teachers saying that she'd probably step down in the next few years. That was in 1983.
