"So then it was, 'What do you think of Marx?'

And I said, 'I think their pants have dropped off but you can't fault their broccoli.'"

[NB the laughs are so loud you can't hear the end of this line. I only know it because I pored over V Wood's script books Barmy and Up to You, Porky as a teen.]

Possibly something to do with my local arts cinema finishing at a time that means it now takes me an hour and a half to get home if I want to see anything in a decent sized screen.

God, but I want to like PTA’s films but I just come out feeling detached every time. Maybe my brain is hearing the Jonny G chords and can’t quite engage. Just can’t figure it.

Am I really interested in the history of Titanic or is it just that Paul McGann has a wonderful voice? www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand...

Got to take our excitement where we can get it in these dark days. (The literature not the postman)

The sleeve of Teenage Fanclub's Grand Prix has these fab pics of the band in front of signs with their names. I went searching for their locations... (THREAD)

Apologies @jcbernthal.com Greatly enjoyed your session (I’m having a cocktail in Brixham so please excuse slow bandwidth)

Such fun at #internationalagathachristiefestival even though I missed Laura Thompson (her fault for being so eclectic!) @christietime.bsky.social @isokongallery.bsky.social @jcberthal.com here’s my best (tired) Ariadne Oliver complete with apple

I adore this 1930s house by the park w the miniature railway and now it is for sale. Knackered, but original doors, fireplaces, windows, just beautiful. I assume some vulgar suburban arse will rip the lot out, and replace it with that popular hideous grey

By coincidence, I am staying at a small hotel in Torquay. They have the book of Flay Otters scripts out in view at check-in. Up the road at the L_____ Hotel, the 70s lives on and the waiters look like a superannuated Manuel.

I’m old enough to remember when those on the left derided the whole Life of Brian/Judean People’s Front/People’s Front of Judea/“Splitters!” thing as a lazy centrist cliché. YET HERE WE ARE.
