@Thekingstonecho The dear old Regal where circa 1952 the Gas Board would hold their Christmas party for us kids. Thanks.

Kingston Bingo Hall's now been left to rot for nearly 16 years. Thanks to these 'urban explorers' we can see what it looks like inside, or did in 2024 (post-fire update in the comments): 28dayslater.co.uk/threads/regal-…

@TerenceBlacker It was truly unpleasant and impressed at how Jackie Smith remained so calm.

Weird, ugly interview by Nick Robinson of Jackie Smith on #today programme, saying Starmer was ‘in a dark place’ then mentioning his teenage daughter. Nasty, sanctimonious and unkind.

@richardwyatt Surely @BathPresTrust have something to say or can help do about this and Who @bathnes allows such licences?

@FXMC1957 Plus the excellent Targets in 1968.

23 November 1887. Boris Karloff (William Henry Pratt) was born in London. He was primarily known for his roles in horror films. He portrayed Frankenstein’s monster in Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein and Son of Frankenstein. He also appeared as Imhotep in The Mummy.

‘I wound up—if not as a jack-of-all-trades—at best as a third rate polymath never able to focus these curiosities into a commanding “view of life.” The most practical solution appeared to be to make a profession of observation, to become a reporter’ #alistaircooke #botd

Thank you @itvnews for celebrating the 30th birthday of my book Coming to England which has been the No1 bestseller for schools. I wrote it as a gift to all children to share emotions both happy and sad but full of hope @ColinThomasWebb @MacmillanKidsUK
