Hello and welcome to people arriving from ‘occupied Twitter’ - for the purposes of any algorithms here I’m most interested in #Music #Books #Writing #Art and #Campervans (and also avoiding politics if I can)

It is a truth universally acknowledged that when a man’s wife encounters a fine actor on the stairs of #TheatrClwyd she must be in possession of a good photo and a hug…

Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)

8 months ago
The Gulf of America is crap. It's gone really downhill.
Much preferred it when it was the Gulf of Mexico.

In the book Bond gets pissed off because Grant is wearing a tie with a Windsor knot. Fashion rage! 😂

Saw these in Dylan’s Deli in Menai Bridge today and my immediate thought was “isn’t this some kind of disease that sailors get?”

I had to explain that this accidentally fell into my shopping trolley and by the time I got home it was too late to put it back. #Books tend to do that

We were the only people having breakfast in The Garrick Inn, Stratford (at least we think we were) 👻

Empty inn breakfast room (or is it? - translucent figure eating breakfast (AI))

Also it’s “SAS week” apparently - if they’re NOT jumping out of helicopters into the sea I’ll be very disappointed

This arrived today and I’m over the moon - people either love or hate this movie! I’m very fond of it and (controversially?) I like it better than at least 3 of the official #JamesBond #movies & watch it at least once a year. Even if you hate it I’m sure you’ll struggle to dislike the soundtrack!

Clearing out my OneDrive I discovered these nuggets!
1) Two limericks I wrote but forgotten about (can’t quite remember the context)
2) “Give me an ‘M’ please” (Bob Holness, the VERY first #JamesBond )

Limericks

There was a deceiver called Boris
Had sex in the back of a Morris
His presence of mind
Was so hard to find
Much more than the lady's clitoris

There once was a woman called Liz
Who got in a bit of a 'tiz' When meeting the Queen
Brought a guillotine
And said "this reminds me a bit of Les Mis"

This sort of thing is coming to Britain mark my words

Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 22d

The function of the American health care system is to make huge profits for the insurance and drug companies.

Not acceptable.

Our job is to fight for the U.S. to join the rest of the industrialized world and guarantee health care to all as a human right.

Excellent advice! 😂… this weekend I’ve done this on my old spare #laptop that, despite being allegedly top notch and powerful, was apparently incapable of receiving a #Windows11 upgrade - bye bye #Windows 👋…Laptop is faster than it was even when it was new!
