Hey, who wants to see a very silly but very enjoyable film? #JamieLeeCurtis is fabulous in 'Freakier Friday'. Maybe it's extra funny because we have aged alongside her and can laugh at ourselves at the same time... recommended

Sad to hear that that beautiful man, #TerrenceStamp has died... so many great performances. Who can forget his Sgt Troy in 'Far from the Madding Crowd'? 60s icon.

Anyone else find Andre Agassi's voice very alluring as he's commentating on the mens' semifinal @ Wimbledon? Please ditch #andrewcastle @BBCOne and replace with Andre's knowledgeable commentary & great voice.

This Wednesday we will sadly holler 'Adios' to Chuckaroo the Buckaroo on KPOV High Desert Radio. CTB (aka Charles Engel) has been roping in some beautiful tracks for us since 2005.
His saddle pals say a big 'thank you' as he rides on up the Trail. A modern day penpal to me, via email. #westernswing

You like Anne Boleyn? You'll LOVE Elizabeth Woodville, says Lacey Bonar Hull, who also sheds a light on how British history is viewed in US. Sounded to me as if interest is personality led, a sort of historical Comi Con. Make up your own mind, listen to @charliehigson.bsky.social @wwhspodcast

Can't quite believe that I won't ever see this lovely guy again. Music promoter, supporters and all round good guy, he was a one off. So sad for us all and particularly his wife, Ashley Adsett. RIP 'Uncle' Paul Adsett.
