I know Chitty and Knives out are fun hokum, but this Sinatra film is quite remarkable for:
Controversial (for the time) subject matter
A crooner risking his rep playing a con & addict
The direction (Preminger)
The music (Bernstein)

Kashmir first, for me.
Noticed quite a few people of my age with hearing aids. Often wondered why?
Did a bit of roadie work back in the day. I remember one group flew 64 cabs from the ceiling and put more on the stage, in a 5k capacity theatre. Testing the rig for bigger tour venues I guess.

I have a Scottish wife, so we try to get there regularly. Passing the Welcome to Scotland sign is always 'a moment'. As is the Welcome to Ireland sign for me.

There is a statue of Oscar Wilde (with the Estonian writer Eduard Vilde), on the main shop street in Galway. A great writer, with a tragic back story.

Lots of people post nice coast/beach pics on here. It's good to see people also recognising the context of coasts and sea under pressure from rising sea level, global warming, etc.
Here's Buccoo Reef, a marine protected area off the coast of southwestern Tobago.

Happy thanksgiving to all my American cousins. Here's some quintessentially American art to celebrate, from previous gallery visits.
Stay safe out there people.

Rare (old) photo's of me actually playing drums, complete with mullet and empty cans (McEwan's I think). Hollywood rehearsal & recording studio's, Clapton, London.
I believe #IronMaiden (among others) used to rehearse there in their early days.

I guess it will be the usual 'predictable' sports of football, cricket and rugby dominating BBC Sports Personality of the Year again.
But: In regard to the lifetime achievement award; no single person has done more to keep their sport relevant, and win more titles, than Ronnie O'Sullivan. #BBCSPOTY

I was wondering if there were any other bands who could claim to be the most influential, in the history of modern pop and rock music. These 4 British bands seem to be consistently on the list ... but would it be different in other countries?

Unfortunately, Glenn Frey had passed by the time we finally got to see #Eagles play live. However, his son Deacon was front and centre, and looked like he had been there forever.

Yeah! All booked for UB40 next year. With fabulous support guests.
Not seen UB40 since the 2010 'Signing Off' 30th Anniversary tour, when they played the entire album in sequence, followed by a greatest hits set. Can't believe it's 45 years since I bought that album!

Lovely wide beach at St Malo. My profile photo happens to be from a restaurant in the town, the day this shot was made.

The wonderful cinematography, writing, acting, pace, restrained emotions, etc, etc, etc. No contest really.
Nom'ed for 8 Oscars (no wins), in the year of Philadelphia, Schindlers List, The Piano. Hopkins won the BAFTA.

Our greatest living artist. Still enthusiastically making art at 88.
I often used Hockney's work in my art teaching career, as it was so accessible, and the colours so intense.
Saw his Grand Canyon installation in Paris many years back. Spectacular.

All these years later, I still think 'The Hill' is one of his best performances. 1965, Dir Sidney Lumet.
Apparently he really enjoyed working with Lumet and they did 4 more films together.

Visited the Sagrada Familia a few years back and, even unfinished, it is spectacular. I believe they are aiming to 'top out' in 2026, but work will go on long after that. Sadly many of the original plans and models were destroyed in 1936, during the civil war.
