I blame the parents.

The way a bic biro is exactly the right thickness to manually wind a standard audio cassette.

If that person feels pressured then the weight of coersion must be unbearable if they ever visit a shop.

Is it the final UK No 1 of the 1960s?

the leaning part of right-leaning is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

Waiting For Farage

Who's Afraid Of Virginia Bottomley

The Persecution And Execution Of Boris Johnson As Performed By The Inmates Of The Carlton Club Under The Direction Of The Marquis Of Bath.

In his statement about moving party he had the nerve to complain about tax. #chutzpah

He's made himself, his family, and his techbro donors very very rich. To Trump this is all that matters.

In the 3rd season finale of Hooray For Pinewood - The History of British Film we look at how the UK film industry handled the thorny issue of what kind of country we should be once peace broke out.

Ah, it must all be true then.

1966

Two of the Beatles (as in British Beatlemania) are still alive.

Time for FIFA to revoke their peace prize.

You can take practically any Hollywood golden age film and pick apart its retrograde attitude to women. But It's A Wonderful Life is a classic for a reason.

Loved the episode, but... If we're ever to get past a time when the world is run by old men sitting in the park swearing at the bins, we need to lay to rest the idea that Thatcher was about anything but enriching her friends and especially her ridiculous son.

Why do they use a photo of him that's at least 15 years old?

I doubt if that many people could give the first names of all 8 of their great-grandparents because it's unlikely they ever met them.

Travelling into Liverpool Street back on the 70s I used to see a graffiti by the River Lee: IS HITLER ENOCH'S DAD?

Noel Coward in In Which We Serve.

The latest episode of Hooray For Pinewood - The History of British Cinema is out now. What were war films like while the war was actually being fought?

Prof Edelman sounds like the kind of dweeb who screams at people in their face "No!! Frankenstein isn't the name of the monster!! You've ruined everything!!!"

How do all these people manage to be so weird and at the same time so dull?

I'm guessing that in 1980 or thereabouts you reached an age where you could properly go out on your own, buy stuff with your Saturday job earnings, maybe get drunk. Decades don't appear like a turning page unless you celebrated both Thatcher victory or the implementation of poll tax.

We also had student grants, social housing, private hoiuing which ordinary people could afford, available NHS dentists, cheap public transport and public ownership of utilities. There are two sides.

I was also there.

A decent burger meant Brooks or The Great American Disaster in Chelsea (and McD opened its first UK branch in 1974).

A decent pizza meant small italian restaurants not being killed by crappy chains

And Berni Inns posh? What did you think was common?

I don't know which is sadder. Is it the sorry specimen desperately trying to look like a normal human being, or is it the dim podcaster blowing smoke up his arse>

@mrjamesob.bsky.social It was Wales.
