You can head the queue for organ donations.
Voice box would be a good place to start ...
Derby Midland Railway Station. A grand Victorian masterpiece with real civic presence is now a bland box with a glass canopy and corporate signage. Britain used to build for beauty and permanence, what happened to our standards?
Remembering the sublime genius, Maurice Cole, AKA Kenny Everett, who passed away on this day in 1995.
Here he is in a very famous sketch alongside his friend and regular co-star, Billy Connolly, that took almost a day to record. Why? Well, because they hadn't hired any extras for the sketch they roped in some music hall performers who were recording in the studio next door and they all appeared in costume, much to the amusement of Kenny and Billy. The punchline was reached eventually, but they decided to include the outtakes.
God bless Cuddly Ken x
Good Friday’s classic car spot is this very original 1988 Ford Scorpio 2.9 V6 in Antique Bronze.
This was peak luxury 40 years ago - trip computer, electric seats all round, heated screen, graphic equaliser etc. Taking delivery must have been a thrill.

Early car radios & equalisers really were the big thing in the early 80’s weren’t they🕺🎶👊
I remember the fully removable ones, then the click off face plate, the big rear shelf speakers..
What a time to be young, alive & be driving 💙👊😃🎶 #memories
@Retromania4ever For 8 years I owned a Golf MK1 Gti 1.8 in Lhasa Green, sunroof, golfball gear stick, high revving, felt like a go-cart, I bought it from a friend who'd professionally made some cosmetic changes, some loved/hated it but I absolutely loved every second of driving it, still miss it
