#totp catchup. Watergate! Good grief, I do not recall a merry Xmas mr Lawrence interpolating dance track with a “my culture is not your costume” performance. It was a different time for sure

Having a LaserDisc Day Enjoying a pile of Discs I picked up couple of months ago & put to one side Some cracking BBC Releases I’d not seen before. A 5” CDV Clip Disc & a VCD, along with a LaserJuke Video Jukebox NTSC 8” Also an Interactive CAV Disc of East of England Show 1984. Seems to be rare

Bought myself a player as a daft flat-warming present to myself. Bit of fun

Just popping in to let everyone know we're about 2/3 sold for the premiere of our film this Saturday, which is very exciting! So, if you're on the fence, it might be time to get off the fence and grab a ticket. Or stay on the fence and get one online. Regardless, cannot wait to show you all this!

The flats block I live in is named for a Polish-Jewish Tynesider entrepreneur who owned an independent string of cinemas til he died in early 60s. > "I am happier here in Newcastle," he once said, even though at one time he owned 196 cinemas and halls nationwide.

The uppercase letter A is too weak on its own for a whole element to itself. It has to have a supporting lowercase at all times, poor thing, but then it does get loads of stuff
