I wonder if she’ll be inspired by Brad and start a degree at Borchester Uni? #TheArchers

John Carter and the Gods of Hollywood is an interesting look at “Hollywood accounting” where a film that would have made a modest profit if you included global takings turns into a $200m loss (that was strangely beneficial for Disney).

My money is still on a surprise “‘Ello George” on a dark night, followed by a swift kicking in the Bull car park. #TheArchers

You lean over, tusked grin wide as the young wizard gawks at your glittering quartz pendants...

💰 Double the price, the kid looks gullible.
💎 Gift him a pendant, generosity builds repeat customers.
🔮 Whisper "that stone only glows for true wizards."

The film sounds like it’s a load of old bobbins but the soundtrack album is excellent!

I genuinely don’t think I’d have made it through 2020 without listening to every Dolly Parton album in order with @dipurple.bsky.social over on Twitter.

I did that with a large refill tub of black peppercorns when trying to top up the grinder and I was still finding them round the house in odd places 6 months later.
