Ah, I see. Obviously WW2 informed their upbringing (how could it not) and Lennon was no stranger to a dig at the German audience, but I don't think they had the same them vs us feelings as their parents' generation or even much of their own. The moptop itself came care of a German in Paris.

Oh, it was fine. A mere six months of signing on later, I was a edit house runner earning nine grand a year!

It was the year it caught up with us and we were all made redundant.

Erin was a camera assistant on it. It might even have been the job she stepped up and did some focus pulling. Meanwhile, I was on year eight of working in a cinema.

It was a filthy flat so...

That show paid our rent for the period of its filming.

I'm being a dullard myself but are you saying they aren't? Germany was the making of The Beatles.

Gah! Living and working, it's nearer to thirty years! Christ!

I was there or thereabouts for twenty years. Like everywhere else, it changed and became a little less distinct over that time, but I'm still hugely affectionate towards it (and the park is a miracle).

I used to live in a quiet bit of Greenwich, but at one point in the early 90s, if you'd stood in our front room, you'd have been two minutes in one direction from Malcolm Hardee's house and two minutes in the other from Vic & Bob writing Big Night Out at Jools Holland's place. Comedy leyline stuff.

I'm very sorry, Moose. My thoughts are with you and your family x

Beautiful

The best bit of all of it was being young and not wondering if that pain in your hip was just a soft launch of death.

Did you like plup more, Paul?

"I always liked Pulp more." Oh, did you? Great. Have a 2:1.

I used to enjoy Oasis, then I stopped enjoying them. When they announced the tour, I wasn't bothered because I don't enjoy them any more. People that enjoyed them then and now bought tickets. People that never enjoyed them didn't buy tickets, but talk about them online a lot.

It doesn't matter

Can't. We've got a jar of mincemeat my FiL made just before he died. We're not ones for trinkets and holding onto things for nostalgia, particularly, but we both know it's never being used.

I forget to come here but I have remembered today cos Palace won the fucking FA Cup!

Get. In.

Medical staff going nose to nose. This is the best cup final for years

Guardiola typically graceless in defeat

The Beautiful Game

I don't think I've ever seen anyone enjoy winning a trophy more

“What a sad little life, Dean”

Man the tears in the Palace end have properly moved me. Such gorgeous pure happiness. Hard not to be swept up with it.

Mark Bright wiping a tear was a lovely moment too #SouthLondon

It's all so straight too. Everyone's so serious and dry.

2024. Golden harvest.

I bet J.D. Salinger enjoyed the pilot episode of Phoneshop and on his deathbed lamented that he wouldn't make it to see the full first series
