always love a mention of Tony (Tony Galvin on the wi..ing) As a man now approaching late 50's, I still consider that early 80's team as my Spurs and Tony was one of my favourites amongst them

so then that Wayward finale, thoughts?

Dean @deallm.bsky.social · 3d

nice mention of the Europa League win there on the commentary for the Browns Vikings game there

Vikings now down to their 3rd string QB, & with the Browns having a debutant at QB, going to be a lot of grinding it out this half

Dean @deallm.bsky.social · 3d

not been the greatest of games, but I do enjoy hearing the American commentary team lavish praise on the ground

Dean @deallm.bsky.social · 3d

youngest daughter loves Titanic, insisted we took her to see it at the Imax last year, would never have interested me enough to watch it otherwise. Also never watched any of the Lord of The Rings films either

2nd reply in "If it were the Jews". Yep this country is done, in fact I think the world is lost to an era of violent stupidity that we'll never be able to roll back

Dean @deallm.bsky.social · 3d

funnily enough the original post could've been about me, never seen a full episode of Friends or any of the Richard Curtis films. Also never seen any of the Avatar films

great to hear, long may it continue for all concerned

referring back to your question of actors you'll always watch, and with The Rock in mind, I'd add Ed Harris to my list

absolutely, pretension free film making meant to be fun

Introduced the kids to their first watch of Con Air yesterday, still stands up as a daft, crash bang wallop actioner. Also will be interesting to see John Malkovich as President Snow in the stage version of The Hunger Games
