If you could chuck a few bob our way I'd be very grateful. It's an immersive school project. The kids get hands-on experience of the filming process as well. They, and Lancaster Film Institute, are amazing. Please repost/share/bung us! Thanks, you're amazing too, whatever. www.spacehive.com/angeline

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on. slate.com/technology/2...

BBC1’s Death Valley with Timothy Spall is as charming as it is absurd — it’s like Midsomer Murders at its best

Timothy Spall plays a famous TV sleuth who starts helping solve crimes in real life in BritBox's warm and utterly charming new crime drama #DeathValley, and I desperately hope it finds the audience it deserves. My review at @pastemagazine.bsky.social:

I am probably the last to discover this but my mind is blown that Andor's Diego Luna and Stellan Skarsgård were originally in cast Goal! and filmed a couple of scenes before the director left and the film was completely changed. #nufc

105 cyclists/yr are killed by cars in the UK. Cars kill or seriously injure 1,233 child pedestrians (u16) per year. Changing the law is meaningless because so few people are killed by bicycles. The only effect will be to give drivers an even greater sense of entitlement to endanger others

Did you know that people who have lived in the UK for just three years, who may never have worked here, can buy a full state pension? It would be good to know how many people overseas are doing this. So I asked HMRC. They don't know: www.newstatesman.com/politics/eco...
newstatesman.com
Exclusive: the state pension is being siphoned off abroad
And HMRC has no idea where it’s going to.

Every time Alistair Campbell and Rory Stewart refer to Anthony Scaramucci as The Mooch it just torpedoes the seriousness for me. They might as well be talking about a friend they have called Farthouse or something. That is all. #news
