Heard a radio ad for Toy Story 4 tonight and it was using Livin' Thing as background. Is it on the soundtrack?

On Pointless tonight a couple reached the final and chose the category "Musicians From Birmingham" and had to name any UK top 40 single by..... ELO/UB40/Jamelia. To their eternal shame they couldn't name anything by our heroes! For those interested the pointless answers were: Confusion/Don't Walk Away/Hold on Tight/The Diary of Horace Wimp/Here is the News/I'm Alive/Ma Ma Belle/Rockaria/Rock and Roll is King/Showdown/Strange Magic/Ticket To The Moon/Twilight. BTW, they didn't win the money anyway!

On a very recent trip to Spain, TUI Airlines play MBS continuously during boarding and landing. Although the sky was grey coming into Bristol!

On Johnny Walker's Sounds of The Seventies, a listener added Jasper Carrot's Funky Moped (!) to the 'Seventies Jukebox', produced of course byJ.Lynne of Shard End, Birmingham. Was that also him doing the guitar solo, as it sounds like him around that time? Ahh.......... www.jefflynnesongs.com/popup.php?data=FunkyMoped197489_popupplus

As I type, on Radio 2's Pick Of The Pops show (this week, tunes from 1979) - ELO's The Diary Of Horace Wimp.
Ah, the song that inspired a forum!

I meant to post this months a go but kept forgetting, I saw this on one of my beer and curry nights out in the local town.

@horacewimp - is that cello decorating a Shard End roundabout? if not - how did they choose the location? assuming it has something to do with ELO and not just a generic bit of "music art"
Maybe this is general knowledge for the forum, but have they named a street or park in Birmingham after our hero? perhaps a Gold star in the sidewalk at the location of the first ELO gig

It’s about 6-7 miles to Shard End so you never know. It not normally there. goo.gl/maps/M214ugZ4awisJqB77There is no street or anything else named after our hero in Brum, he has got the star on the Broad Street walk of fame but currently that’s missing as the section of road and footpath is dug up. Edit: I’ve done some digging and it was put up to advertise a open air concert in Sutton Park.

We have a Lynne Ave. near by... I took a wrong turn in the rain and found it by accident. If there hadn't been people behind me, I would have stopped to take a picture!
