It was so tasty, and the setting really added to the flavour.

🔴 Warning - sentimental level 500. Activate rose-coloured glasses. 🙂 British Gen X'ers, this one I made is for you... I tried to make something which hopefully stirs your emotions. Wishing you a beautiful weekend. #Friday #80s #Retro #1980s

Anyone up for a retro video? I've got a cosy little idea to share with you.

True - just a shame about the bloke who fronted the campaigns!

James @retrojames.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

Exactly my words....I seem to use this expression a lot these days!

Totally....and the sound, which I always think of when the washing machine starts a spin cycle!

Day of the Triffids. Utterly terrifying - for a 7 year-old at least.

totally - I wish the 70s adverts were decent quality from a resolution PoV, they're pretty grainy at times.

Marmite....for breakfast? I'd have to be absolutely famished!

Well that was beautiful- down in the vineyards of Steiermark for lunch. Just a perfect day.

I would love for someone connected with the creative side of the BBC to see what I’ve made here - I’d just like to see how it holds up. Loved making it. From me 2 you…🙂

It’s an autumnal Saturday afternoon in the 1980s. Dinner will be ready soon - roast chicken. it’s just started to rain. The electric fire with faux coal is on, as is the telly - it’s final score. Here’s the video I made that’s about so much more than football. I hope it works for you…

“Hurry boy she’s waiting there for you…” Fingers crossed one day..

You're really kind - in some ways it feels like one step forward, two steps back. I have these days in a row of feeling good, then all of a sudden I just hit this low and feel crushed.

I'm certainly very cynical about it now, when the person I was married to for 19 years could just discard like that, jump into bed with someone else - I don't think I ever knew her. She said she hadn't loved me for years, but the reality is, she'd met this guy last autumn then dropped me asap. Liar.

James @retrojames.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Yes, I'm thinking of getting a dog.

James @retrojames.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

It's strange at times isn't it?

James @retrojames.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

mate, I hear you, and here to talk if you'd like. My situation was (and is) pretty much the same.

James @retrojames.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

We need pictures and reactions!

James @retrojames.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

I'm hoping it's not a typo actually and you really do put this on a roast...? 😀

James @retrojames.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

never!! haha, I do like R4, some decent programming. Lemon curd on toast for you...give it a go!

James @retrojames.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Oh yes, I have cleared my throat at LEAST 5 times in the last hour - send help....

James @retrojames.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Get well soon - I'm also nursing a horrible cold, tis the season!

James @retrojames.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Totally - just enough space for 4 sausages and piece of chicken!

James @retrojames.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

That's the one! A bit wobbly but did the job!

We had a little cast iron barbecue, mum grilled sausages on this lovely summer's day in 1985. I can smell the bbq coal, the grass, and hear the orchestra of lawn mowers. I lived in this Albion shirt. Dad made this garden - all the slate was brought over in the trunk of our old Rover, about 50 trips!
