@james_e_b_ It may depend on the cinema. I saw 14 year olds with their families being rejected at Indy cinemas for Oppenheimer (my sister & family didn’t even go because the local cinema warned they would be policing heavily & my nephew was 14 at the time.) Multiplexes may be easier

Do cinemas actually ask youngsters for ID if they're with an adult? If I took my fairly old-looking, almost as tall as me 13yo to a 15-rated movie what are the chances they would not let him in (he would be mortified)?

@JeanHatchet I don’t have much time for La Beckham (and maybe everything you say about her tailoring is why her business is continually loss-making). But Mrs Burnham chose her own outfit and should know what looks better on her yet chose this nonetheless. So not the designers fault.

Andy B’s wife is a very attractive woman. But I’m sorry. Victoria Beckham makes dresses for pencils. Beautiful dresses but not for real life or women with rounded hips. Cutting a woman of Von Heel’s size off at the mid calf is an act of fashion cruelty. A bias cut is so unforgiving on most women. It just wraps when it should skim. Bat wings don’t suit many and you wouldn’t catch Melania trying that shit. I don’t think Victoria Beckham had a hand in this. But she should and could give this woman a fantastic look. She would look great in one of VB’s oversize suits. Break with the mould a bit. Why are the media saying this looks great? I don’t care what Andy is wearing. Until he dances. Please let him not dance.

@PaulYoungParlez Still loving this. And as a Letchworth girl I was so proud to see someone make it big from Luton just up the road.

43 years of No Parlez! 🎹 On this day in 1983, my debut solo album officially hit the UK shelves. Looking back, I'm incredibly grateful for the journey it started and the amazing memories we all share. Thank you for listening then, and thank you for listening now.

@2DoApp Looking forward to this - the app has sat alone and barely used on my phone but maybe it can be resurrected…

Coming very soon 👀 This work, which began about seven years ago, was abandoned and restarted approximately four times between then and now. It has also been rewritten three times. Finally, it is nearly ready. 2doapp.com

@acrossthepond44 @DPJHodges Jesus! If that load of self-serving, egotistical nutcases are our last hope........ They could prove @Nigel_Farage was Gary Glitters long standing partner in crime and you would still vote for him? Question for you! When will you wake up?

@DuaneMcneill2 @08Kingy08 Ok I’ll bite…I attended Catholic schools and even 40 years ago the class included Sikh, Jewish, Muslim and even Zoroastrian (long before Freddy Mercury made it a thing.) School was predominantly Catholic/Christian intake but others were still there.

@08Kingy08 Actually it's not a Christian country, but your point remains the same. Muslim kid at Catholic school doesn't even make sense

My son goes to a Catholic school. It was their school summer fair today, I stupidly volunteered to do the BBQ…. A Muslim woman came over and told me I can’t cook sausages on the same grill as the burgers🤣🤣🤣as her kids muslim… Guess my response… Answers on a post card😉

@JMerghelinck @GerrySamuels12 @benonwine I was 8 in 1976. Nobody was telling me anything about hydrofluorocarbons. Not even in my weekly spelling test

@GerrySamuels12 @benonwine Kids were being told back then that hydroflurocarbons (refrigerants) were causing global cooling and thereby killing life on earth, so maybe they took a heatwave as a positive signal.

Lots of Boomers seem to be remembering the summer of 1976 with rose tinted spectacles, & think that they ‘just got in with it’ Let’s have a look at what the newspapers of the day had to say in 1976…. 🧵

@LucyGoBag I genuinely wonder if this was a mistake or if it was a deliberate revenue-raising attempt. Given that it is Sunday I think for most parking locations it would be a low priority enforcement day: the cost of paying wardens double time might not normally be recouped by fines given

This boils my pee, which is already quite warm. We have trained on this issue for literally decades (always an issue)…. So tired of going backwards on the little things and the big things. And this matters.

@14MilesToFrance @Welshcake74 I knew from your first post it would be Christine Baranski. I’m the same: she is one of two women. I would love to be “when I grow up“ I’m dictating brackets (the other being Stockard Channing). I have tickets which I got as soon as it was announced.

@Welshcake74 Christine Baranski opposite Richard E Grant in Hay Fever by Noel Coward. I am BUZZING with excitement!

Today I learned that my all time favourite actresses is performing in London for the first time ever, during a time I’ve already got a free evening alone in London, and there was a single seat available on the front row of the Grand Circle. I’m just the luckiest duck alive! 😍

@ganseyyiii Buy a mini fridge (with a freezer shelf) and plug it in your bedroom. Voilà! As many popsicles as you can fit in (& other refrigerated snacks)

i’ve moved back home to my parent’s place for the summer while i study for the bar exam. and like i was prepared for the adjustments of living with 5 ppl again after having lived on my own for 3 years. but the worst thing i did not prepare for was my parents now for some reason

@DarthPutinKGB Fond memories of the days when Berlin was itching to start a whole world war when Russia damaged their interests in 1914… (Only joking…)

The 7 stages of “escalation management” 1 We condemn this 2 We condemn this strongly 3 We strongly condemn this with concern 4 We are very concerned & condemn this 5 There will be consequences 6 “For as long as it takes” 7 It is important not to escalate the situation Repeat

@MsVictoria2 @SimonCalder That’s great if you live here, know what you’re doing and have planned ahead. Not so great for incoming visitors who have accommodation booked elsewhere (prob far more pleasant), may have limited English & jet lag, & are certainly not familiar with Heathrow & surrounding areas

@SimonCalder This is one of the reasons I always go to the airport the night before and stay in a hotel. It’s much more of a stress free trip. You just can’t trust the public transport in this country.

Heathrow airport cut off by rail. Elizabeth line & Heathrow Express currently closed: "Flooding caused by a burst water main near Heathrow Airport closing all lines running to/from Heathrow Terminals" No Tube option available on Piccadilly line trains due to planned engineering.

@ukboomers Don’t tell me - I bet he’s removed the back lawn and put down astroturf

You should see what our David has done with his latest buy to let. A tired old 1930s detached. He's modernised the lot. New plastic windows, properly insulated. The original front garden was a maintenance nightmare so he's tarmacked it over. Parking for four cars now. He's painted the brickwork a smart grey. Tenants love it. The neighbours aren't happy but they should see it on a sunny day. A sight for sore eyes. Some people just have vision. 🇬🇧

Bonjour! independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…

@BBCTomEdwards What about Greenwich with North Woolwich?

Good question in the Times daily quiz yesterday: Which is the only London Borough that covers both sides of the Thames? Gold star for correct answers

@SamanthaBr34541 @SandyofSuffolk The couple on the show were presented as having saved their deposit. If they got help (almost certainly the case) it’s misleading to suggest it’s all their own effort

@SandyofSuffolk Our first property the deposit was our own, only 5 percent. When we needed to move to a bigger property, we knew we had about 3 more years of saving but my Dad said instead we could borrow the money we needed from him and pay him back which we did. Nothing wrong in getting help

Very impressed with the young couples on Location Location Location last night. Especially the 23 year olds who'd saved £31,000 as a deposit - one had just qualified as a nurse, the other was still training to be a paramedic. The other young couple were buying their first house with a budget of £400,000 so had obviously saved a lot too. Just shows you what you can achieve if you have the will. Instead of whining on Twitter 'boo hoo, young people can't get on the housing ladder'.

@nypost My great-uncle had ‘toned’ arms like that when he was liberated by the Red Cross from a Japanese POW camp at the end of WW2. They reckoned if it had lasted 1 more month he’d have died.

Demi Moore’s toned arms take center stage on Cannes Film Festival 2026 red carpet trib.al/DYJYRNx

@Martelll732 @HollyBell8 Given the number of conferences and events I’ve been at where those attending are told the event will be videoed and that by attending they are deemed to have given consent, I would say there’s definitely some privacy rules being broken in this case.

@HollyBell8 Have any data protection rules been broken? If yes what would the penalty for the business be?

Went to our anniversary dinner at a nice restaurant tonight where we were recorded by our server, apparently through his glasses, without our permission for his Instagram channel. As we paid, he showed us his Instagram channel and showed us the video he took and asked if he could post it. We asked him to delete it and if his manager knew he was recording diners. He just said no one else has ever complained. I asked to talk to the manager. Manager seemed to know and asked “if the light was on.” I assume this meant on the glasses indicating he was recording. We noticed no light. He said he would make him remove the glasses, which was how we became aware he was recording with the glasses. Needless to say, I am now a dog with a bone and this is not over.

@BpdLion For a lot of them it will be granddaughters and grandsons being offered up (maybe to wipe other elderly arses)

I've been thinking, what's the actual end goal for people to who vote Reform? Once they get rid of all the immigrants, will they offer up their sons and daughters to pick potatoes all day for minimum wage? Work in the takeaway shops? Slave away In Amazon distribution centres?

@WalkerMarcus WFH isn't not working. If your manager is so pathetic he can't monitor your productivity when you're working from home, then your manager is the one who needs sorting out.
