I was standing, you were there, two worlds collided, and they could never tear us apart...

I do love these. So informative in just 8 minutes. Always a treat to recognise local places as they were 55+ years ago. I just caught up with yesterday's episode on flood warning and recognised the bridge at Teston in Kent and nearby fields at Yalding and Teapot Island. They still flood most years.

The only invasion is from fascist billionaires like Trump. Why would anyone listen to advice from this deranged felon and his circus of arsesucking goons?

So hot and humid in Sussex. Decided to do Only Fans but not sure I'm doing it right...

This is who runs the account (and he still overacts quite wildly whenever he sees a Dalek).

Congratulations! Thank you for the many hours of viewing pleasure such at Look at Life, Footage Detectives and all the rare archive film/TV gems. Not to mention your excellent weekend events at St Albans and Christchurch. Here's to your next decade (and to many more to come). Good luck! :)

How to deal with fascists 101.

A wax figure of former President Donald Trump, dressed in a black suit, white shirt, and red tie, stands in front of an American flag. The headline below the image states, "San Antonio Wax Museum Removes Trump Figure Because Visitors Kept Punching It.

I do love these. Well worth a listen....

Starting a 4 Extra repeat today - "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes". Adapted by Bert Coules, these are definitive. Clive Merrison a giggly, nervous, uptight ball of energy as Holmes. Michael Williams perfect as Watson. They're superb. One of radio's VERY good things www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b...
