Guess who's 40 on Sunday 13th July?

If you listen to radio/watch TV in the UK, you can't be unaware that this Sunday marks the 40th anniversary of a rather special day back in 1985.
Where were you when Mr Geldorf was letting loose his potty mouth all over the BBC? If you listen to Greatest Hits Radio (home of Ken Bruce and Simon Mayo), you'll know they're playing all the original recordings from 12 noon on the 13th. Enjoy.
