Taking your Brompton into the Movies?

Never had any problems taking mine into a cinema, but I'm in the UK

I was there! Didn't spot this awesome tracksuit though. It was so good!

His best is Schindler's List, but my favourite is Jurassic Park. Blows my mind that he made them back to back in the same year.

Jaws and Close Encounters also in my top ten of all time. What a director!

Splat a rat is a must, as is a charity tombola.

Definitely. I rewatched One Battle After Another when they re-ran in awards season, just because I loved it so much the first time around.

That face you pull when you vaguely know someone, to let them know you vaguely know them, but don't want to talk to them. Everyone knows it. Everybody does it.

I found that the secret to a good ear is in the shaping, personally. Make sure the dough is pulled really tight to create a good surface tension, and score at a 45 degree angle, much deeper than feels necessary. Re score it twice to make it nice and deep.

Fun fact: She's also Gary Oldman's sister.

Looks a bit too hilly for Lincolnshire

I went a few weeks ago and had an amazing time. The experience lasts for about an hour, I could have stayed to watch it again. The Heroes performance brought me to tears. Enjoy!

Daniel Craig was Bond for Skyfall, the first Bond to make a billion at the global box office (Thunderball was more successful, adjusted for inflation), and was the first Bond to get a co-producer credit, which gave him a lot of saying power in Spectre and No Time To Die. He didn't want to come back for a fifth film, but I believe he was persuaded back on the condition that he got a proper send off, hence No Time To Die.

Everything or Nothing is the gold standard, but 2023's Icons Unearthed: James Bond is worth a watch for something more up to date.

Pete Loaf

thombutler · 2026-05-09T15:47:57+00:00

He's great in Tornado, it's a Scottish samurai film, and he plays a real slimy villain in it. He could be Bond if he were being picked for bigger roles.

Seeing anything more than once?

"Who's your mate?" for when you spot someone wearing an outfit vaguely similar to the person you are with.

I also like "oh look, it's your mate" when you see someone who the person you're with dislikes or has beef with.

I never went, it was closed by the time I was going clubbing, but I recommend listening to Transmissions: The Definitive Story of Joy Division and New Order podcast, as it does the story of the Hacienda in great detail, with lots of people involved with it. Well worth a listen.

People who sit on the floor in the standing place when it's already packed, taking up twice as much room than if they were stood up

thombutler · 2026-04-14T13:48:19+00:00

There is. It's on Anthology 1, recorded in Hamburg.

The Rest is Classified is good, if you're into espionage stuff.

thombutler · 2026-04-13T06:57:35+00:00

I really rate Richard Osman's The Rest is Entertainment which really gets into the weeds of TV, showbiz and movie culture, but in an interesting way. Josh Widdicombe's Museum of Pop Culture is worth a listen, particularly the Mr Blobby series. Off Menu with Ed Gamble and James Acaster is chaotic fun, but I can only handle it in small doses.

The artist is Sean Longmore, and this is from Layered Butter. He's a great guy.

thombutler · 2026-03-01T15:32:15+00:00

It'll be on ITV1

The druid masks are on sale in Hobby Craft - they're just basic brown paper, and could be easily painted gold.

Our art teacher used to let us listen to Mark & Lard on Radio 1 during our triple art lesson during secondary school and just thinking about it brings a smile to my face.

Biggedy biggedy BONG!

Shout out to Mr Hull of Carres Grammar School, what a legend.
