Turville is an omnipresent representation of southern England village life TV eg the most recent episode of Midsomer Murders. Here it is in a lovely music video. youtu.be/xFWGrNR_mog?...

Geraldine secretly leads the resistance.
David and Owen are enthusiastic collaborators.
And Jim dies tragically when a Gestapo officer demands he declares his loyalty to The Fuhrer:
"no, no, no, no..."
Bang!

I've just found out from an early episode of the excellent @warmovietheatre.bsky.social that The Vicar of Dibley was filmed in the same village (Turville) as the 1942 home front invasion classic Went The Day Well. This feels like a missed opportunity for an incredible remake.

If anyone actually takes medical advice from Donald Trump they should probably have a net thrown over them and be put somewhere safe.

Pulled a few dvds out of things you don't see around any more. Better Off Dead is a cracking early John Cusack film.

The other is of Peter O'Toole in Jeffrey Bernard is Unwell. I saw him in it twice: when it first opened and he played him as a hilarious, happy drunk and then 20 years later when he returned to the part & played it as a melancholy alcoholic. Same words, totally different play: absolute genius actor.

I've bought a DVD player, I haven't had one for ages. My dvds of course are in this old foot locker under an amplifier under a television because I never thought I'd need them again.

Had an amusing convo with @notupmytrousersyoudont.com about wanky blokes in the 90’s declaring themselves to be DJ’s with the chutzpah of a brain surgeon. I used to DJ 😂 But I was more a ‘selector’. Anyway here’s my latest set. Dancing joy. No beat matching shit.

It's not the naked greed or even the ideology that scares me most about a UK under Farage and Reform, it's the eternally dangerous three pillars of disaster: arrogance, incompetence and mendacity. Maybe pillars is the wrong word, what's the opposite of a pillar?

Finished painting the stairs. What a rare pleasure to have a DIY job that's as quick and easy as I anticipated. Didn't change the colour, just going over them as they were a bit scraped and chipped from lumping furniture up and down. Easier than cleaning them in fact, I might do this more regularly.
