Trying to stick to posting about British cinema, and not get into moaning about politics. And I'll fail.

Happy Birthday to the legendary Lee Grant!
"Please accept my apologies for such a shoddy turn out of service". Somebody's had enough of being corporate.

This is beyond grotesque. Another young journalism who treats the lives of minorities as a game. I know plenty of people who still hang out with this guy – I can't respect that as a decision when he's publicly gloating about further stigmatising disabled people.
Usual chaos on GWR. This time the Swansea London train consists of two sets of A-E carriages. Cue seat-reservation confusion!
#FlowerOfTheDay Ooo, an actual gnome-sitting-on-a-toadstool toadstool!
