@TweedyPubs @MacZidane @TimothyTaylors I moved to Keighley in 1984. Landlord was the attraction, but Golden Best was a revelation. (Of course Boltmaker was simply "Best Bitter" back then.)

@MacZidane @TimothyTaylors Agreed, Boltmaker is my favourite of the TT lineup, but for a lunchtime pint on a sunny day Golden Best is hugely drinkable.

Fed up wasting time researching videos on pubs that end up not consenting to me filming there. Next video shelved indefinitely! Instead I have buggered off to the pub, just to enjoy it as a pub. Lovely pint of @TimothyTaylors Golden Best at the Chequers in St. James's.

@CarManToday I remember a BBC show (Nationwide?) in which a lady said how much she loved and missed the Moggie. BL spokesman (might have been Lord Stokes himself) said she should try the Marina because it used some same parts. Talk about missing the point.

Tara Green, a great colour. Morris Marina. Morris Marina business successful British car, it's all for about 10 years this is one of the later cars. The humble Morris took much of its engineering from the Morris Minor.

@paul1964Jam The deodorant ad where people sniff armpits, and arses in the cinema absolutely disgusts me. I'd like to see a picture of the advertising "creatives" who come up with this shit. Unilever are the worst.

@DrHelenFry Eldest uncle was in the Guards but never spoke about his wartime experience. Younger uncle was in the RN, sailing through the Med when Japan surrendered, but I only learnt this at his funeral 65+ years later. Dad was called up to the RAF but too young to see active service.

@susie_dent Is there a word for hating something not because it's really bad, but simply because you can't understand, and thus resent, how popular it is?

English

Susie Dent@susie_dent·5d

A question: what are the things you wish there was a word for? And have you come up with your own word to fill that gap?

@_JamieMcIntyre Back in the 90s the huge British electrical companies GEC and Plessey merged to form GEC Plessey Telecommunications. Abbreviated to GPT, which didn't really work in France for some reason.

@5goalthriller One of the most overrated multi-Oscar winners IMO. Finney was terrible, as was Bergman.

@january_myth I actually enjoyed the first two (despite the CGI) but the third one was an absolute travesty. Shat all over the Oliver/Poirot relationship.

Taru Ann@january_myth·25 Nis

Nothing quite as cringe as Kenneth Branagh as Hercule Poirot. What a joke.

@mjsimpsonfilms @CardinalPeteCox I was at school the day it was released; my working brother gave me the money to go and get it for him. Breaking up the medley was desecration.

@mjsimpsonfilms @CardinalPeteCox When I bought the Abbey Road CD I used an editing app to merge the side 2 medley tracks into one, without gaps, so I could hear it as intended.

MJ Simpson@mjsimpsonfilms·25 Nis

I'm listening to Abbey Road for the first time and am amazed to discover that ten(!) of the tracks run under three minutes.

@graceyldn My best chugger experience was a door to door RSPCA collector: "Do you care about animals?" "No, not really." "Oh, ok then." And off he went. Remember, you don't owe these people the time of day, however polite you want to be.

@SaveRedlandLibr @TalkingPicsTV Recognised Helen Worth immediately and also went "oh that looks like Nicol Williamson." But is the writer the same Elwyn-something-Jones who acted in Rogues Yarn?

@primarily_prog Took me ages to acquire it, but I got there eventually👍 The live album also better than the "official" tribute band too. I fancied attending the forthcoming tour, but it was almost sold out and I'm too old and knackered anyway☹️

@MissionYak @daveainsworth63 @TalkingPicsTV Add The League Of Gentlemen (1960) to the list. One of my favourite films - featuring the man himself and Mrs Forbes too.

@daveainsworth63 @TalkingPicsTV I don’t think that I’ve ever seen a movie directed by Bryan Forbes, but I really like 2 of the movies that he wrote the screenplay for. Only Two Can Play, and Hopscotch. Both are superb comedies!

@balmer_tim 2 things about Zulu 1. Saw it on Channel 4 one afternoon and the picture quality was incredible. 2. Dad took us to see it when it was first released and it was full of topless dancers.

Tim CB@balmer_tim·20 Nis

Zulu (1964) is over sixty years old and still the best British war film ever made. Not because of the battle sequences. Because every frame feels like it was made by people who understood what soldiers actually are. There's a reason for that. 🧵

@PaulSchleifer There was a film "WR, Mysteries of the Organism" which explored the life of that lunatic. George Melly presented it. It's been on UK TV with some heavily pixellated scenes. Kate Bush's "Cloud Busting" was about him. (Sorry if I've been lured into stating the obvious.)

@oldspeak_books The one that gets me is when a new movie, er, I mean film, is "in theaters now." No, it's in cinemas. And then people say "I saw it in theaters." How many times did you see it and in how many places?
