Released 12 Nov 1971, the album Nursery Cryme by Genesis. The opening piece,The Musical Box combined the band's trademark mix of 12 string guitars with harsh electric guitars & keyboards. The song, a macabre fairy story set in Victorian Britain, became the inspiration for the album cover. #Genesis

It's all very simple for us Brits.
Re-show the end of "No Time to Die" with the TARDIS sound added.
Bond falls into the TARDIS where Desmond Llewellyn's 'Q' says "There you are. Now pay attention Bond."
Tardis materialises in London street & the new Bond steps out with no further explanation needed.

I'm baffled why they've never just said "James Bond/007 is a codename, whenever they retire or are killed in action we promote a suitable candidate".

Mind you, I'm also baffled what the villains think will happen if they kill Bond. MI6 aren't exactly going to lose interest when he vanishes...

BBC is in the same bag as The National Trust - under constant attack from the right who don't want to eliminate them, but replace them with a version that is friendly to their causes and opinions.
This is happening in the US with public bodies being consumed by populist parasites.

Obviously, it’s been a tough day for the BBC. Big organisations, working under big pressure, will sadly make errors

But I still feel huge pride in hosting a BBC podcast, and having previously spent 11 years making a world-renowned children’s show that no other broadcaster would have made

The epitome of invisible leadership, Ben Knapper, is the real problem. He needs to be given his P45. Then, and only then, will we see any positive change… #ncfc

There will be so many things to say about the legendary Nancy Pelosi's transformational tenure in Congress—but for now, let's start with "Thank you, Madam Speaker."

I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a Norwich so shot to pieces as this one.

No hunger to be first to the ball.

No belief that we can win games.

No mental resilience.

No fight.

This has to end here.

Knapper out, Manning out, Adams out.

Farewell Durham.
Farewell dear friends.
Farewell Emily.
One last night in London and then back to Canada.

I must have fairy dust in my eyes: they are red and leaking right now
