We love bank holidays!
20.45 BANK HOLIDAY OF THE TRIFFIDS
The carnivorous plants find their plans of world domination waylaid when they get distracted by the smell of a neighbour's BBQ and all day Bond films on ITV2.20.45 BANK HOLIDAY OF THE TRIFFIDS
The deadly plants' plans for world domination receive a set back when they foolishly attempt to get to Exeter IKEA and end up in a three hour traffic jam before arrive to find their is nowhere to park.20.45 BANK HOLIDAY OF THE TRIFFIDS
The carnivorous plants find their plans of world domination on hold as they aren't sure if the black bin and recycling should go out today, and don't want to look silly by being the first ones on the street to do it.

Please come along to this free event, where I’ll be talking about Upon A White Horse in one of Britain’s most interesting churches. What a thrill to be appearing under the same roof as the strange and wonderful Govan Stones.

Part 4/4 🎬 The @govanstones.bsky.social Hogbacks are possibly the most interesting group of early medieval carved stones in the Northern Brittonic world, being produced by a Strathclyde that came into being as a direct result of the 870 Viking capture of their Alt Clut (Dumbarton Rock) caput.

As the ABC Glasgow foyer block has been removed, we can now see the remains of the original 1875 Panorama building, extended east in 1920s for dance hall & later cinema conversion. Built up the hill, the cinema ground floor was a car park, with stalls on first floor and balcony above.
