She Loves Me is, as you say, their best but I still prefer the score of Fiorello to Fiddler. Am rather partial to Tenderloin, too (well, the half that is excellent).

Just had a teenage passenger in a car shout verbal abuse at me as they drove by for no reason. Which was nice.

I'm sensible, currently available, and happy to be a Lord on their daily allowance.

Which of course leads to the inevitable question..... "How's the book coming along?"

Apparently Punxsutawney Phil has correctly forecast the winter weather only 30% of the time. This still means he's more accurate than Alexa. #GroundhogDay2026

Hate the fact you have to chase for any sort of customer loyalty. Car insurance renewal quote Β£380. Use a comparison site and find identical cover for Β£260. Ring up original insurer and they quickly offer Β£270.

The funniest thing is - the reviewer rated your book 4.5 despite her About Us section stating she doesn't rate books with numbers or stars...

They really need to get a better box office solution once their future is secured. I ran a small theatre (180 seats) and even our relatively low cost online box office had a timer element over a decade ago.

My great uncle was one of the first to arrive at the liberation of Bergen-Belsen. He would never talk about it and if it was mentioned on TV or radio he would leave the room to be on his own somewhere to deal with his memory being refreshed of what he saw there.

I misread this from glancing too quickly and thought this was about tickets for a rare production of Sandy Wilson's musical VALMOUTH. I thought the sell out in Penzance seemed unlikely.

Bet if they were named and shamed that money would suddenly be forthcoming.

It's Burns' Night, so give your ears a treat and listen to Malcolm Arnold's fabulous interpretation of the great poet's Tam O'Shanter. You're welcome.

That was my favourite book between the ages of 6-8. Took it out of the library every few months. Bought a copy to relive it when I was 36.

Love that film. Gerald Sim is a particular delight and the main theme is gorgeous.

I believe he said he felt this was the best thing he ever did and for some time hoped to produce a feature film version.

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland.

They say they will provide Californians with β€œrule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

Good. If I see another photo with those doors saying "This is Tolkein's inspiration for..." I won't be held responsible for behaving like Gimli.
