Ed Miliband, famously closing coal mines as a 14-year-old minister in Thatcher's government during the miners' strike

Two posthumous releases, 12" singles. MB left a lot of work behind him, a lot has been released over the years, I don't know how much is left to still see the light of day.

Happy Women’s Day, Slayers! ❤️❤️

I've begun listening to The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring read by Andy Serkis, through Audible. One of the best readings I've ever heard. Inspired, dramatic, compelling. He really takes you there. I wholeheartedly recommend it to you!

The LNWR branch line from Weedon to Leamington Spa It's time we had another good disused railway video. This one follows the route of the old LNWR branch line between Weedon and Leamington Sp...

Wolfhampcote is mentioned. Here you will find a deserted medieval village whose church still survives, two abandoned railway lines (the one the video is about and the Great Central main line) and an abandoned meander of the Oxford Canal, complete with a tunnel.

Still the best adaptation.

but did it have 'I Love John Lacey' on the back? - if not, it should have! #IYKYK

Living his best life on tour… 💙💙

Tomorrow, Sunday 8th March, is the 45th anniversary of the wonderful BBC radio adaptation of THE LORD OF THE RINGS. Originally in 26 half hour episodes, then later as 13 hour-long blocks. Michael Horden played Gandalf, Robert Stephens was Aragorn. Ian Holm took on Frodo Baggins.

Watching a rare showing of THE GREAT CARUSO on BBC2. Why don't more MARIO LANZA films get shown these days?

Just watched the brilliant 1983 film of THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES. Ian Richardson made a good Sherlock Holmes. Possibly the best adaptation of the novel by ACD that I've seen. [It's on TUBI if you want to judge for yourself]

On TikTok - my quoting Peter Capaldi's wry comment, and my comment on what the consequence might be! [fyi, Sixties Man is me!]

2000+ and still rising! 🫣 😲

Woke up this morning to find a comment of mine on TikTok had gotten 200 likes. 😲 (it's currently at 425). 😇 Then I went to Greggs as I had credits for a free coffee AND a free bacon baguette. 😋 The weather is bright, dry, sunny. It's a great day, guys! 😊

Good morning #WeekendSingles
Four recent finds.
I picked up the T.Rex promo for £1.00 at the Flea market yesterday. Although a bit scratched plays fine just a shame about the writing on the label.
Enjoy your Sunday everyone.

If you're still watching films, have you seen Nightbooks on Netflix? Krysten Ritter stars. Quite a spooky film. I loved it!

Is that anything to do with the Canadian TV show of the same name [1993-1997] that starred Laura Bertram and Lani Billard, about two teenage girls and their issues as they navigate life? I watched it quite some years ago now, on Nickelodeon here in the UK, I seem to recall.

Successive interviews by Nick Robinson this morning perfectly sum up the BBC:

with Zack Polanski: sneering, aggressive, constantly interrupting.

with David Bull, Reform's Chairman: polite, nodding along, barely any interruptions.

Amazing. Will share the link when it's up so you can listen too.

Then don't! Watch some comedy or drama through the iPlayer.

Gimli: ‘Would that the Lady had given us a light, such a gift as she gave to Frodo!’

Aragorn: ‘It will be more needed where it is bestowed. With him lies the true Quest. Ours is but a small matter in the great deeds of this time. A vain pursuit from its beginning, maybe.’
