Finger jabbing

When Dad showed you something in the paper he would pass it over jabbing his finger violently at the appropriate part of the page.

Video of the day: Here I am on Top of the Pops in 1980 (and as recently repeated on BBC4) standing to the right of Kid Jensen as he introduces Madness. God knows why I was wearing a Portsmouth Poly sweatshirt. The bottom of it had gone baggy so Mum had threaded in a length of elastic, I recall. Going to the show was truly thrilling.
