To be clear - it wouldn't be a case of exclusively using movies that have already appeared. They would just be sprinkled in between fresh movies too. Rest assured if I went this route there would still be a healthy amount of new movies appearing.

How would you feel about movies that have already been on Framed appearing again with different frames?

@grumpwitch Think of all the money GPs could save by simply guessing diagnoses, though! (Sorry to hear your low blood pressure- it sucks)

Looking at caravan holidays in Cornwall, I click on "virtual tour" here hendra-holidays.com/newquay-carava… with my sound on and am surprised to hear what sounds like a very chill version of "Somebody New" by @joywave

@shockproofbeats Just read this from your earlier column "A few months ago, he posited a theory that all humans died when they turned 100" - my son was exactly the same! To the point of asking the age of everyone he encountered, and then informing them when they were going to die.

I have no idea if Catherine is real, but either way, this is a spectacular reaction.

The Secret Barrister 🦋
The Secret Barrister 🦋@BarristerSecret·
I made my mind up about Keir Starmer’s character years ago. It’s a highly personal account I now share for the first time, as Sir Keir is poised to lead Labour into government. In 2015, I set up an anonymous Twitter account called The Secret Barrister. The idea was to draw public attention to problems that I saw daily in the criminal justice system. The account achieved mild success, and led to the publication of several books. As part of my rampant self-publicity, I would do “Legal Live Tweets” - exercises in tedious pedantry whereby I would sloppily apply rudimentary legal knowledge to popular movies. A number of lawyers began to follow me. At some point, Keir Starmer became one of them. Then the rumours began. Reddit was the worst. A couple of right-wing blogs fanned the flames. The Times mischievously floated the idea. Labour Party members joined the speculation. The question kept recurring: IS KEIR STARMER THE SECRET BARRISTER? After all, we were both barristers. What further proof was needed? Despite what, it was clear to all, was a concerted international media campaign - photographers on my lawn, journalists haranguing my grandma, my Welsh flatmate answering the front door naked to the world’s press - Keir Starmer said nothing. Not a single word to dispel the rumours. Not a single speech in Parliament. Not a single line in his manifesto promising to correct the record. And now, as he stands on the precipice of power, what has he said in the course of this campaign to dispel these wicked whispers? To offer the nation the reassurance that it craves? Nothing. So it is that I remain at the mercy of conspiracy theorists, mischief makers and Kwik Fit fitters. And our Prime Minister-to-be seemingly could not care less. Whatever Sir Keir’s many achievements, I will never forget the character of the man who followed me on Twitter, sat back and watched my world burn.

It’s not just Labour Reddit that’s on the case. Some folks with a righteous “UK law”/Union flag/gavel motif are now predicting “a pretty big scandal when it comes out” that Keir Starmer is The Secret Barrister.

Records you discovered through Mark and Lard's late-night Radio 1 show. Whether they went on to bother the top ten or you're still convinced that only you bought them, let's sing their praises here. Anyone else get the Harvey's Rabbit single?? timworthington.org/2024/07/01/loo…

@PgallagheretgGg @looksunfamiliar Weirdly I was thinking of Out Of My Hair the other day. The only song I'd ever heard was Safe Boy, on some compilation, not Mark & Lard. Need to belatedly check them out!

In honour of the Gladiators final, here’s my son doing all the moves during the opening titles. For me, the plaster on his head, his sudden decision to get a unicorn to help him and his impression of Viper really add to it. #GladiatorsFinal

@CooperativeBank hi, for my business account application I've been asked to provide signatures for the signatories on "a blank piece of white, underlined paper". Does this mean unlined, or lined paper? I assume this is standard wording but I think it needs to be clearer.
