It is. Catch it before they pull it.

Agree. I saw it yesterday. Still unpacking it. (We have an elderly and ailing white cat, so the film hit extra hard)

Surprised Harrods let them get away with that sign.

You can but the “interesting & rewarding” bit - my judgement is final.

I take full responsibility. Your money back if you don’t find it interesting and rewarding. Let us know.

This #my9albums thing - are we meant to say “SNAP!” when we find an exact match?

I became overwhelmed by the plethora of catalogue numbers for many of the LPs and CDs that I own. Many items in my collection predate the invention of the barcode. Still it is a good maybe unique product.

I’ve realised that I can browse a photobook again & again, whereas digital snaps on screen are just so “ephemeral”. Prints are the best.

Just been to see #Digger. It’s marvellous. Like most films today it’s a bit too long. But performances, music, cinematography and above all the plot are superb. The soundscape alone is worth the price of admission.

I’ve been using it for a few years. Enthusiastically at first, less so lately. I even bought a hand scanner, but then realised it was all too much like work.

I’d forgotten Nice Enough to Eat. Great list.

I’ve got an SE. The cheapest. It does heart rate and a ton of other health & excercise related stuff but not BP. But owning it, wearing it and consciously looking at your own stats encourages you to take a proper BP from time to time.

Great shot. You should print it. Put it in a photobook of your best shots.

Thanks for the recommendation. Appreciated.

When you find out, let me know, because I’m definitely in it.

We could never really hear Paul as we listened with our ears stuck to the transistor radio. That’s why I’m indulgent if the remastered stuff is a little bass heavy.

You’re overthinking this.

Isn’t it weird to be always hanging out with guy who did your job before you, and the guy before that, etc, etc?

These are great. Why have I never heard of him? Also he has a symmetrical name which is very cool.

The announcer is great, with his mock-posh English accent, ‘Ten Years Arfter!’

Living close to the end of a tube line I looked forward to a daily 35 minutes of undisturbed deep reading. I miss that bit.

Not just a great snap, also great alt-text.

Thirty seconds research could have stopped you embarrassing yourself: “The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and HMRC classify the State Pension as a non-means-tested, contributory benefit paid under the social security system.”

In France they warned me not to eat them after this time because Satan had pissed on them. Who to believe?

I wonder what polls of ordinary Europeans would show. I experienced a high degree of schadenfreude living in Portugal after 2016.

Kings Cross has got a Harry Potter connection. Marylebone ought to cash in on the Hard Days’ Night Beatles’ connection. A selfie spot to film yourself running from adoring fans.

Quite a lot longer I reckon. Until they grab the levers of power. The present day Lab/Tory milquetoast will wonder what hit them.

The Nice just sounds wrong. Like The Cream. They were always just Nice at my school.

Powerful earworm. Saw him live when this track was released, helped me realise there was more to this pop music malarkey than just loud.
