On March 10, 1997, Buffy Summers moved to Sunnydale CA and the world has never been the same. Here's to 29 years of our favorite vampire slayer saving the world. A lot. 🧛🏻♀️👹🗡️
(Also, someone track down that girl's pager number bc we're pretty sure another apocalypse is nigh.💥)

The slow disappearance of Elvis Presley from pop culture is actually really interesting. Put bluntly, his contemporary fans are increasingly no longer with us and his last big mass market moment (The "Little Less Conversation" remix from the Nike World Cup ad) is now 24 years ago...
Ed Miliband, famously closing coal mines as a 14-year-old minister in Thatcher's government during the miners' strike
Two posthumous releases, 12" singles. MB left a lot of work behind him, a lot has been released over the years, I don't know how much is left to still see the light of day.
Happy Women’s Day, Slayers! ❤️❤️
I've begun listening to The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring read by Andy Serkis, through Audible. One of the best readings I've ever heard. Inspired, dramatic, compelling. He really takes you there. I wholeheartedly recommend it to you!
Wolfhampcote is mentioned. Here you will find a deserted medieval village whose church still survives, two abandoned railway lines (the one the video is about and the Great Central main line) and an abandoned meander of the Oxford Canal, complete with a tunnel.
Still the best adaptation.
but did it have 'I Love John Lacey' on the back? - if not, it should have! #IYKYK
Living his best life on tour… 💙💙

Watching a rare showing of THE GREAT CARUSO on BBC2. Why don't more MARIO LANZA films get shown these days?

Happy 34th Anniversary to the day these two crazy kids first met, March 6, 1992. #TheXFiles
Just watched the brilliant 1983 film of THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES. Ian Richardson made a good Sherlock Holmes. Possibly the best adaptation of the novel by ACD that I've seen. [It's on TUBI if you want to judge for yourself]
On TikTok - my quoting Peter Capaldi's wry comment, and my comment on what the consequence might be! [fyi, Sixties Man is me!]
2000+ and still rising! 🫣 😲

Woke up this morning to find a comment of mine on TikTok had gotten 200 likes. 😲 (it's currently at 425). 😇 Then I went to Greggs as I had credits for a free coffee AND a free bacon baguette. 😋 The weather is bright, dry, sunny. It's a great day, guys! 😊
Good morning #WeekendSingles
Four recent finds.
I picked up the T.Rex promo for £1.00 at the Flea market yesterday. Although a bit scratched plays fine just a shame about the writing on the label.
Enjoy your Sunday everyone.
