@iam_jlc The Professionals is pretty damn good.

I think the title of best TV theme tune of all time belongs to either Taxi or Hill Street Blues. The best TV theme song however has to be, Laverne & Shirley.

@v8oholic My late 80s (possibly) CD sounds pretty good. Later remasters have been awful.

When this was remastered for CD in the mid 1980s, they lowered the bass level in the mix. Every digital release has followed suit which is unfortunate. It’s supposed to have room shaking bass like the record. Not that it will be evident through a phone. Take my word for it!

@choose80s Let’s hope he’s not still wearing those trousers.

Duran Duran here we come! Ecstatic to be at Hyde Park again this summer to see the Wild Boys in action! It was such a magical evening when we last saw them there in 2022. 😍⭐️🎵❤️❤️❤️ To get in the mood, here are our clips from the last Hyde Park gig ➡️ youtu.be/awi_hQM3sBM?si…

@HarrySword Yup

When there were only four channels if I.e some obscure 1970’s horror or western was on late at night, next day at college/work chances were *loads* of people would have seen it. So you had this strange sub cultural literacy that has been utterly lost - people randomly quoting

@phil25369 @CansAndBansV12 Birdhouse, Loveshack, Myles Smith, Mumford & Sons,etc.

@CansAndBansV12 Absolutely dispise that song up there with birdhouse in your Fukin soul and anything by guns an roses

An absolute woeful song. One hit wonder cunts

@DavidJPIatt @TiceRichard We never lost our sovereignty. One of the many brexit lies.

@TiceRichard The British people voted to take back our sovereignty from the EU. Our elected representatives have chosen to defy us. These people are traitors to our nation and our people.

ABSURD Starmer’s ludicrous suggestion to get closer to the EU, a failing economic bloc that has also a long track record of failing to invest in defence. Let’s remember the EU became way too reliant on Russia for gas so their judgement is not to be trusted We must use all our own energy treasure of oil and gas We must invest in our own sovereign capabilities This is why my British Sovereign Wealth Fund plan is so critical

@AposematicHate @jroebuck @anon_opin It depends on what you are buying. The meat, fruit and veg are better at M&S than Waitrose, etc. Fish not so much.

@jroebuck @anon_opin M&S used Tesco suppliers. It is basically just a tart in a fur coat with no knickers. Waitrose outranks them as actually holds a royal warrant. The factory that makes pizzas for M&S also makes them for Tesco and ALDI.

The hierarchy of supermarkets in the UK is as follows - M&S Food Waitrose Tesco Sainsbury's Morrisons Aldi/Lidl Co-Op Asda Iceland

An absolute marmalade-dropper of an interview with Richard Keys in the Telegraph today. This is magnificent.

This video never gets old... she was pure genius!

@batcountry1980 @909One Yup, I always put them together.

@909One Lennon called Paperback Writer the son of Day Tripper

I love juxtaposition in songs, sad lyrics balanced on a happy melody, downbeat words married to upbeat rhythm. One of my favourites is Paperback Writer. You ever thought about how boring the lyrics really are? It’s a drab letter where nothing actually happens. But the music is thrilling, amongst the most exciting the Beatles ever recorded. And that’s the trick again, isn’t it? Making the mundane feel momentous, and McCartney is a master of it.

@benonwine Instead of filming her why not get out and tell her she shouldn’t be doing that, the risks, etc.

Have we literally lost the plot here in the UK.🇬🇧 Petrol in plastic bags 🫢😳😮 not only selfish but maybe a FIRE HAZARD🔥

@Albumism No. It’s fine but it has some filler. I place it 6th or 7th.

Duran Duran's best album. Agree or disagree? album.ink/DuranDuranDD

@WeirdBristol @bristoltoday Some of the accents were dodgy though. Few Bristolians in this. A great insight into 1960s Bristol as well as featuring Soundwell Swimming Baths (now Kingswood Leisure Centre).

“Some People” is a 1962 drama film about biker gangs in Bristol. As well as providing an insight into the city and youth culture of the 60s, it also features a rare onscreen example of the “Bristol L” (listen carefully when the chap says “I’ve got an idea” early on in this clip)

@BlueMoonDevon @WeirdBristol Soundwell Baths!

@WeirdBristol My dad is one of the boys that jumps off the diving board in the pool scene! Never dived in his life, but they offered him money so he just went for it! He was 12 😂

@RayMartin79059 @oaksandlions The Carpenter’s Arms is still going strong. A lovely pub.

We used to live in Windsor on King's road next to the long walk - a 5 minute walk from town. used to go to the Market Cross House for a Saturday tea. Right around the corner from the Market Cross House is the Carpenter's Arms on Market St. where the wife and I used to go for the best Mulligan Stew. Brings back so many cherished memories. Eaton was just a stone's throw and Datchet was only a 10 minute drive. This was the Market Cross House 35 years ago...

Built in 1592, this building is older than the United Kingdom itself. When this house was built, Elizabeth I was still on the throne. The Spanish Armada had only recently been defeated, and Shakespeare was in the middle of writing his plays. Constructed using unseasoned “green” oak, the timber slowly twisted and settled as it dried, giving the structure its distinctive lean. It has stood through civil war, empire, industrialisation, and world wars. More than 430 years later, it remains. Slightly crooked, but still standing.

@DrMatthewSweet @Larushka_iz Rory Kinnear

@Larushka_iz Oh wow. John Hannah once told me the sad tale of how his pitch for it failed in the 90s ... didn't Johnny Depp try too? It requires a sort of smooth good humoured placidity. Not sure who has that ...

Mr Benn live action film is Go! Never mind 007, the hot UK casting right now is is - who will play Mr.Benn?? And will he still wear a bowler hat???

@TheStingisBack “You spit in this?”. I’ve been using that for years, even now. My teenage sons think it’s hilarious.

Happy Birthday, Kelly LeBrock — WEIRD SCIENCE MEGATHREAD Part sci‑fi, part comedy, pure 80s lightning. Two nerds hack the ultimate teen fantasy: creating the perfect woman (LeBrock). Now drop and give me 20... then read on. 1/

@TheStingisBack I love it. It’s one of my favourite teen movies. Kelly Le Brock was stunning in this and at the age of 13, it marked me in a good way. The cast are excellent, especially Bill Paxton. Fantastic thread.

@memechaotic Easier to place a door wedge under the door.

This is just too much.

@decramundo @Tom_D_B_ It was in interview he did back in 2000 with “Q Magazine”. I remember reading it.

@Tom_D_B_ To be fair, he admitted later he hadn't done that, but knew someone who claimed to have done it. Other than that I think he's being rightly called out for his virtue signalling outrage.

If Moby wants to talk about “gross”, he could perhaps revisit those interviews he gave back in the day about how he used to get his knob out at parties and see if he could touch people with it without them noticing. Grim little creep.
