We learnt this morning that the Rubik’s Cube European Championships were taking place in Poland, with over 300 contestants from 26 countries taking part. Something about this tickled me – I’m not sure whether it’s simply the fact that there is such a tournament, or that some of those taking part do the cube with their feet – or even blindfolded! Say, what!?!
My clues to this week’s song that was acceptable in the 80s – a UK top 40 hit single that you probably hadn’t heard in a while – were that this punk band failed to make a stranglehold on the charts with this 1986 song, and that the weather forecast wouldn’t corroborate the message in the song.*
*Acceptable in the 80s was Always the sun by The Stranglers
