Ways to waste your time

Over at Word we're looking for examples of thing that would have been unimaginable twenty years ago. Examples? Shirley Bassey at Glastonbury. A ban on smoking in public places. Michael Jackson being potless. That kind of thing. And while I'm in plugging mode there's an excellent radio documentary about smoking and popular culture you can listen again to here. As usual I'm Voice of Rock.

  3. Being able to fit 15,000 songs on something as small as a cigarette packet - and being able to watch video on it too.

    'Real' people being of consequence to the TV viewer/magazine reader.
