Many thanks to the absolutely lovely folk at Roundhouse Birmingham for letting me be filmed there today 😀😀 go and see them if you're ever in Birmingham

WTAF is with the new sloping seats at Droitwich railway station, West Midlands Railway? There used to be seats you could sit on, now you want to slide us off 🤯🙄😱Tremendously uncomfortable on the buttocks too if you perch back a bit to try to stay on. Mindboggling.

Hmmm pretty sure that cough mixture that's over eight years old is still fine, yeah?

Well. “Poor Things” is a most peculiar film.

I have ordered the smallest fridge in the world for the boat 👍

With Instagram having naff all to do with photographs anymore (it's all reels/stories/notes and now avatars 🙄), does anyone know of a decent platform for social photo sharing? Or does that just not exist now?

A cat charity is a good charity in my book, do have a look at this auction.

This is a wonderful video, shot on 16mm silent film in 1974 by one of my viewers when he took a party of schoolchildren on a canal trip. Amazing record of the journey and so interesting to see the canals in use (and the fashions!) 50 years ago!
