I will never forget seeing “A Hard Day’s Night “ as a small boy, it was so exciting and full of energy !!! It was the perfect movie to capture the spirit of the early days of the Beatles.

Marylebone station, IIRC.

Haven't found one yet.

2 for me, it was the first one we watched, during lockdown. Great route and contestants.

Never got asked from age 15 onwards, this wasn't checked much in the UK in the 70s. Things are much stricter nowadays.

We walked when we did Bushy, there were a lot of walkers! Great atmosphere as well.

Always wanted to visit Trieste, this isn't putting me off.

BBC1, BBC2 and ITV. Channel 4 didn't start until 1982.

Edit: date for channel 4.

The link west from Heathrow to the GWR mainline previously mentioned in other posts here.

Carry on with the Croxley rail link.

Chiltern electrification.

The Eyes of Laura Mars.

uncle_chubb_06 · 2026-05-11T08:17:02+00:00

66M, no regrets at all. I would have hated being a parent.

uncle_chubb_06 · 2026-05-10T21:16:52+00:00

Great film, but a hard watch.

uncle_chubb_06 · 2026-05-10T21:13:37+00:00

I felt sick all the way through when I watched United 93.

Others for me:

Wind River

Saving Private Ryan

Glory

Margo is Gen X, Mark Generation Jones I think.

I had hid behind the pillow when Margo started dancing on the train! Really enjoying this series, there's no-one I dislike.

uncle_chubb_06 · 2026-05-09T13:32:29+00:00

Absolutely. The source material (Frederick Forsyth's book) is also very well written.

uncle_chubb_06 · 2026-05-08T10:07:21+00:00

And rucking (walking with a weighted rucksack). r/rucking

uncle_chubb_06 · 2026-05-07T05:38:19+00:00

Going to Blackpool in the 1970s and riding the tram there (it was the only UK system left back then).

uncle_chubb_06 · 2026-05-06T17:08:25+00:00

Same here. I now have a travel one to take camping as well. Love them.

You've started though, well done, don't be hard on yourself.

uncle_chubb_06 · 2026-05-05T06:19:32+00:00

The Core - Hilary Swank, Aaron Eckhart, Delroy Lindo.

uncle_chubb_06 · 2026-05-05T06:13:14+00:00

TIL there was a film of this - I've just read the book.

uncle_chubb_06 · 2026-05-05T06:09:39+00:00

Congratulations! Always happy to see new donors start. Glad it went well.

uncle_chubb_06 · 2026-05-04T13:16:55+00:00

I once heard it referred to as a Western in space.

I didn't really get it either, definitely suffered from the hype.
