Isn’t she lovely. I never fell in love with a movie character the way I fell in love with Diane Keaton as Annie Hall.
Charm personified, always wanted to meet a girl like her.
RIP 💔

Why is it seemingly now de rigueur for fans of The Beatles to take to social media and contend that the Fab 4 are somehow “underrated” 🤷‍♂️

Ageing rip off merchants of something original and good?

It’s dawned on me if Sandie Shaw had been the actual lead singer of The Smiths I’d probably still be listening to their records today.
This is fab

The Dude abides. I don’t know about you but I take comfort from that.
It’s good to know he’s out there taking her easy for all us sinners

Actor Jeff Bridges as The Dude: “ICE? Let’s get ICE off our streets and into our beverages man. This aggression will not stand. Let’s just abide, together. Now that’s just like, my opinion”

If like me you’ve got a nostalgic soft spot for the old Carry On films (although should know better etc etc 😉 ) I recommend this informative and entertaining podcast. I did though look up the full list of titles & think I’ve seen fewer than half of them 🤷‍♂️ podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/c...

I liked it up to the point where it changed.
It could have gone literally anywhere… so disappointed it became so unoriginal, Graham.

Oh Sinners, why did you???
The set up, the first half was sooo good, note perfect, intriguing, the possibilities seemed endless.

Generally onboard, Tom.
I had the album on cassette, you’re right, patchy but the good bits were great. I obviously like the name more than your good self as well 😉
Those singles look fab, pretty green eyed about those.
I don’t even have that cassette anymore
