In fact, I think it was on netflix until only recently, because I remember having it dubbed in French, for reasons. It was quite effective actually.

I was telling my brother about this movie the other day, who was a toddler when it came out. I can't remember when I last saw Shallow Grave but so many of the lines are embedded (I think I may have the book with the script in). And on the last rewatch it was still perfect.

Definitely going to see this.

The voting record of Natalie Elphicke speaks for itself:

And here's the moment the Dover MP thought it would be a good idea to confront a protest about Hire & Fire of P&O ferry staff. Forgetting that she'd voted to allow that sort of practice.

I mean I might be showing my age, and maybe that was the year I unlocked music big time, but there's also Prince's Batman soundtrack, Simple Minds, NIN, Beautiful South, RHCP, Belinda Carlisle, UB40, Erasure.

1989 was a great year with some iconic albums, but why is Blue Nile on this list but not Deacon Blue? Heck, they even knocked Madonna off the top spot, in a month that also saw classics from INXS, Fine Young Cannibals and Guns n Roses https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/1prqk6JLsFGqz8nTlbj2JfX/12-classic-albums-that-define-1989

@darkufo So what is it?

@CarolineLucas Seems a former London Mayor forgot this point about mandatory photo ID, which I think he ushered in as Prime Minister. How the tables turn.

@robb I thought that was part of the joke!

@robb Even the URL is getting in on the act!

@solderandchaos Saving mine until tonight as it's the kiddo's first election!

Listening in to EDI Town Hall at UCL. Strange to hear about #accessibility still being a design challenge when 20 years ago we were able to put up new buildings with proper toilets, access ramps, fire refuges and lifts.
