  • Earworms anyone?

    From Jim the Geordie@jim@geordieland.com to uk.rec.sheds on Sun Jul 5 10:27:06 2026

    Does everybody get 'earworms' i.e. tunes that get inside your head and
    stay there for when things are quiet?
    In my case it could be anything pop or classical, but currently it's
    'Walking in Memphis'.
    I don't think I'm going 'crackers', but then, on the other hand, I might already be there.
