Couldn't find my ear buds and other ones need charging, so having to raw-dog the entire 20 minutes from Winchester to Basingstoke. 30 minutes if you include the walk to the station. #influencer #ironman #strength

Morgan Freeman as Kindly Old Criminal in He Cant Have put The Poster Back Over the Hole It’s Impossible

“I remember the first time I saw Andy…”

Ringo looks like Elis from Die Hard here

Just looked. Blimey. Yes

I went down my mums flat this morning at the bottom of Winch by King Alf statue. About 1.5 miles from me. For the first time in the 20 years I have lived here, I got a bus home as I just couldn't face more fucking rain.

Her partnership with Patrick Swayze was the bedrock of THE ultimate 80s film

This week I have binged Small Prophets and Lord of the Flies. Stop moaning about the BBC. We are so lucky to have it

Post a banger that's not in English

Shirley High St for the win though

I was at college there and learned a lot.

Staying in Southampton tonight and have indigestion after a meal. Nip to St Mary's St and find somewhere open and expect to be fleeced. Pleasantly surprised that a pack of Rennie was only £3.79. OK, after opening the box, two had already been consumed, but it is still good.

It started happening at Bedfords in Southampton. Madness. The pub has now closed down (which is a shame, as it was great BITD)

@bileysmullet.bsky.social Last night in Manchester. Wish I'd have gone. Can't get a brief for London gig either ffs youtu.be/lyltfD9vj5Y?...

48 Hours - film-authority.com […] More

You simply won't see a better film today than Went the Day Well? playing today (Sat 4.45 Jan 31) on @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social

I reviewed this classic British movie under the title 48 Hours and I'll post a link every time this stunning film screens.

Apart from this being batshit mental (as is the norm these days), do people REALLY pay £3 for a newspaper???

I wasn't expecting what was revealed until about 10 seconds before it was revealed. And had to look away at one point.

OK, I just watched it. Taking some time out now. Good grief.

Just read the plot. Yeh, would watch

It's great Social History as well though, with the 80s shops, cars, pubs and lifestyles. In the first half of the film at least.

There is a podcast called Atomic Hobo which is about Nuclear War, but also did a deep dive in to Threads (breaking the film in to 4 minute chunks) and also one called 'Jesus Christ, They've Done It' which I've only just found

Ah, now that film I am overly familiar with! And the podcasts about it etc.

Its Helen's birthday today. I guess I shouldn't suggest it for tonight?

I'll give it a go, but the fact that @bileysmullet.bsky.social suggested it to me means there's going to be a scene that will make me uncomfortable. Possibly involving fingernails. My one weakness.

Nope, I still hadnt heard of it till today. Though between around 2000 and 2010, I hardly saw any films

I've set up to record and it says 2003, and seems to have Asian cast. That one?

No, not heard of it. Will look later to see if have it

If this happens next season, I won't do it

Down at St Marys at 8am for a 9am departure, to a game 17 miles away at midday. Get to coach at 0830 and they have overbooked, so me, my son and a mate on 3 separate coaches 👏 👏 #saintsfc

Ha, we were ahead of the curve. Imagine that whiteboard now though. Er, Bosh....
