@LondonPubMap It used to have the most disgusting Gents lav in London.

@RodneyMarshall1 I always liked the tagline we used on the trailer for 'Gallipoli': "From a place you may never have heard of, comes a story you will never forget..."

The art of the movie poster. No. 3 Jaws. Undoubtedly one of the most iconic posters (and films) of the 1970s. Like so many brilliant creative ideas, it keeps things simple, building the filmgoer's anticipatory fear.

The art of the movie poster. No. 1 Alien. Something mysterious yet strangely ominous about the green glow of the cracking alien egg surrounded by the blackness of deep space. Combined with an inspired, chilling tagline, it makes for a memorable, minimalist film poster.

@oxley264 "Dear me. Dear, dear me...". Brilliant response from Burton at the trashed car lot.

@Worldcuptour Just finished it. Priceless. Have a map to hand..

I have been recommended Jerome K Jerome's "Three Men in a Boat". Worth it, good, thoughts?

@TonyIncenzo Middlesbrough, Middlesbrough, York City, Leeds United, Middlesbrough

@RodneyMarshall1 ... but Edwards went on to cast Julie Andrews in 'S.O.B.' in, er, anything but a cameo role...

Having starred in The Tamarind Seed, Blake Edwards cast his wife Julie Andrews in a cameo role as a hotel maid but her scenes were cut from the film. I have no idea why...

On the back of The Tamarind Seed, Lew Grade teamed up again with Blake Edwards to revive Pink Panther. With the franchise's distributor, United Artists, rejecting the chance to finance it, Grade stepped in, funded it and - against industry expectations - it became a global hit.

@LBC @NickFerrariLBC A super interview.

“In Spain they don’t mess around, security guards have pepper spray.” Iceland boss Lord Walker tells @NickFerrariLBC why the supermarket’s £20 million shoplifting bill is a cost every customer pays.

@Captain_Deltic @AndyRoden1 @Modern_Railways @Clinnick1 Agreed... although not so sure about that photo of your Pan Up columnist on the beach.

@AndyRoden1 @Modern_Railways @Clinnick1 I think it shows the spirit of our founding editor G Freeman Allen is as strong as ever. Reporting from the heart of the evolving modern railway with the views of those leading the change is as important today as it was in 1962. Still, the voice of the railway industry

Though I say so myself, this is a bloody magnificent edition of @Modern_Railways. @Clinnick1 and @Captain_Deltic are on absolute top form, I chat with Ellie Burrows about the bold new railway, and there's a whole lot more in this jam packed issue. It's good.

@LondonPubMap A favourite, and a real asset to the community.

The Ivy House 📍40 Stuart Rd, London SE15 3BE The Ivy House in Nunhead has one of the finest interwar pub interiors London. #londonpubs #ivyhouse

@archivetvmus71 "Due to educational cutbacks, this term we will only be making one book-end...". Priceless,

Goodnight 🌙

@wallygridboy Agreed.

Berwick-upon-Tweed is Fucking Ace! 👍

@DavidLloydRADIO There's one in Paris which uses a very English expletive to describe how good its music is.

We all know the challenges of dreaming up fitting straplines. News just in from Auckland…

@Captain_Deltic @SDPhq Boat. That'll avoid England altogether.

@SDPhq Why not a high speed Tracked Air Cushion Vehicle (hovertrain)? Over the hills.

It’s time Wales was united. Getting a train from Swansea to Anglesey should not have to involve going via England. That is why the SDP supports building new railways connecting the south and the north. 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

@colinb13 @bushontheradio Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes: "If You Don't Know Me By Now"...?

@bushontheradio On Days Like These (Italian Job) because it’s just bloody gorgeous. I did think about Huey Lewis’s Heart of Rock and Roll for the bad taste heartbeat, while the Temperance Seven’s Pasadena would be a great opener with its false endings!

Went to my friend Matt's funeral on Friday. The final walk past the coffin song was Jon Secada - Just Another Day. Inspired. What closing song would you have at your funeral?

@devils50 @LondonPubMap Good area for boozers: there's the Morgan Arms around the corner and The Coborn just a gnat's further away.

@LondonPubMap Great pub 👌

The Lord Tredegar  📍50 Lichfield Rd, London E3 5AL This pub is located amidst a Victorian terrace on back street in Bow. This Grade II listed pub was built around 1860 and named after the eccentric Welsh Lord responsible for building much of Bow in the late 1800s. #pub

@The_East_End (James Bolam as a Woodwork teacher in 'The Beiderbecke Affair'): "Due to educational cutbacks, we shall only be making one book-end this term..."

It was that - or a pipe rack…! #eastend #history #humour

@elie_foube16925 @RodneyMarshall1 ... but he did tongue-in-cheek very well. "S.O.B."? Even "Hustle"...?

@RodneyMarshall1 I don't think he ever lowered himself to doing comedy.

Publicity shot of Robert Vaughn as The Man from U.N.C.L.E. prepares to move into colour for its second season, although most US households were still watching in black-and-white. Personally, I prefer the first season, with its more subtle balance between drama & lighter touches.

@RodneyMarshall1 I can't get over just how enjoyably watchable it is. And Robert Vaughn is perfect...

@MorrisBrightMBE Give them a bit of latitude...

I'm in a meeting. Someone just used the word 'longitudinal'. It's that kind of meeting

@LondonPubMap A real favourite, very friendly. There with a pal a few years ago and we were singled out to test pizza recipes. We agreed on one... and that's what the Chandos supplies to this day. Good beer, too.

The Chandos 📍56 Brockley Rise, London SE23 1LN This pub was built 1896 and was a former Charrington’s house. I was massively impressed by The Chandos, what a cracking boozer. There is lots of pub heritage, a welcoming local pub feel, a good beer selection. #pub
