Tonight BBC4 and iplayer at 10.00 a reshowing of "Threads" first shown in 1984. No idea if it stands the test of time, but was a harrowing watch back then. I did wonder if it was the start of the end of the cold war. |

Just discovered the original Twin Peaks is on Paramount+ and watched the first two episodes. Not seen it since the early 90s. Got to be one of the best and strangest dramas ever made. All the characters are just so spot on and of course there's Audry Horne. You can just smell those Douglas Pines. |

Team in progress? I suspect this is it and can’t see Chair making much difference. Every team we play closes us down so much quicker, we make it too easy for them. |

Enjoyed WD/Daryl Dixon but just watched the first two episodes of The Dead City spin off and, of all things, the teaming up of Negan with Maggie. Far more harrowing. |

Yes Cricklewood Lane just round the corner from the Broadway. Which reminds me that’s where we changed buses to Golders Green for the Christmas pantos at the Hippodrome. |

The Granada was next to the White Hart pub corner of High Road and Church Road. Think it became a bingo hall. Willesden was lucky for cinemas, Ritz Neasden, Coliseum and Odeon Harlesden, Gaumont Cricklewood, and the Grange, Essoldo and Gaumont State Kilburn. |

Disney’s Peter Pan at some cinema up in Watford. Mum took me when I was about 5 when we were staying with an aunt. Never forgot the Greenline bus ride out in the country. |

A council house project while we ground share with the bus stop team and play in red and white hoops to match the colour scheme? |

The bleeding buffering became very annoying until the pens. I was getting the club's notifications of the penalty results before it was taking place on Sky so could watch it unfold nice and relaxed, the first time in the whole game. |

Until today I'd forgot all about the session and it only sprung into mind when writing the post. I've just managed to buy the last copy of a cd version of the live Klooks Kleek album on Amazon. The LP was nearly £600? I already have the Beano and Bare Wires LPs and the CD of A Hard Road. |

Very sad and another part of my youth gone. Went regularly to the Flamingo all nighters mid 60s to see John Mayall, first with Clapton and later with Peter Green, not forgetting John McVie. Zoot Money and Georgie Fame were also regulars at the Flamingo. Went to Klooks Kleek the night Mayall was recording, cables hanging out the upstairs windows to the recording studios round the corner. Gawd I miss those days. |

Probably senility settling in but I seem to have a memory of some sort of friendly with a so called 'England 11' back in the days of Rodney et al late 60s? |

I can imagine Tice was chuffed to bits and grateful for any help towards Nige's cleaning bill. Fags and the amber gut full don't come cheap these days. |

Not forgetting that Reform is not a political party but private limited company wholly owned by Richard Tice, Its Chief Exec. There is no membership. |

A currently apt film (well it was on Friday) The Longest Day. Richard Todd who took Pegasus Bridge in the film was actually part of the real life force that took the bridge in 1944. As we are on a war footing, national service and three days supplies, another film I can return to is the 1992 German made Stalingrad. Filmed by the same people who made Das Boot. |
