Not having made much of Portrait of a Lady On Fire, I enjoyed Petite Maman much more, though not as much as I'd loved Tomboy. I do love Sciamma's portrayal of childhood, only equalled in my opinion by Shoplifters, and, for teenagers, Leave No Trace. It's not the film I was expecting at all […]

Whatever you are doing, stop it, and watch Brian and Charles. It's been on the list for ages, and turned up at last on Channel 4. Simply magnificent.

The latest Shaun the Sheep at Hexham's wonderful Forum Cinema was tremendously good fun. So much better than the recent Minions effort. Definitely passed the Six-Laugh Test.

The sixth 10th anniversary beer from First & Last Brewery is a nitro ESB collab with Stu Brew. Look out for its first official pour at @thefreetradeinn.bsky.social this Sunday (Red & Sandy will be there from 3pm if you want to chat all things beer).

A dimpled glass pint mug filled with amber beer with an off-white frothy head, in between two beer cans on a wooden outdoor table.

The cans feature colourful purple graphic labels that read:
First & Last Brewery x Stu Brew
#6 Parallel Flow

When I was younger, Sunday lunch was a thing. Around the table were Mum and Dad, my brother and sister, and later my uncle and wife. It's by far my strongest memory of family. All of them are now gone, and I don't have anyone to remember it with.

@paul_edwin I was interested to read the headline, but then saw it's just Hexham deciding to call itself that, not anything externally awarded or recognized. I'm sceptical of any initiative that could be rephrased as the subject simply saying "Ta-daaa!"

Rode my luck to leave an easy four-ball finish, but ended up just on the wrong side after the first. Totally dogged the next, to leave him to finish. Really irritated with myself, which always helps. WWWWLWL

Dead rubber against a terrifically strong player. He broke dry, and I cleared all my colours, getting position on my last, but the table only gave me a long cut, with the black on the opposite cushion. Intended to hold for the double, but had to dig down to make sure I stunned out to avoid […]

As I mentioned before, I think I'd seen Bombshell before, but had no memory of it. It's incredibly slick, and undeniably gripping, and Theron and Robbie are tremendous (Kidman is a little too mannered for my taste). But I've been slightly turned round by reading Simran Hans, who points out that […]

Somewhere in Time, if it succeeds at all, does so entirely on the strength of Reeve at his most charming. I'm not sure I've ever seen him other than as Superman, but this makes me want to seek him out elsewhere.

Finally saw 9 to 5, in memory of Parton. Love Coleman in WarGames and Tomlin in West Wing et al, and was initially enjoying it. Once they all got stoned together, though, I turned against it. With the notable exception of Tomlin as Snow White, the rest seemed ham-fisted at best, at worst […]

LinkedIn: job title and employer truncated to remove the employer

I have a special hatred in my heart for the combination of poor labelling presented in systems which truncate text despite its fundamental importance. LinkedIn, Atlassian, YouTube and countless others prioritize layout over meaning time and again, and I've had enough.

Never got started after one of the best players in the league potted three off the break, and left one of mine dead. Didn't quite make the touchiest of safeties, and never recovered, although he had to double the black. WWWWL

Hyperdrive is childish at times, but is so relentlessly gentle, I do enjoy it. Frost and Hart are very funny, though I've never bee huge fan of the latter. Definitely worth a watch - it's rather like a very British precursor to Space Force. #talkyDoor!

Drew a really strong player, but he broke dry. I couldn't get the colours I wanted, and ended up in some difficulty. He did clear my covered bag, but was then unlucky to follow through on a plant, leaving him no shot. Ended up potting well, but with no shot on my last colour. Utterly fluked it […]

Rode some luck after a miss against a good player, who was also a little unlucky. Final clearance was nice, for a harder-earned win than it should've been. In the circs, I'll take it. WWW
