She's got a ticket to ride Is Heather back in the news again? I thought Macca dumped her years ago. Didn't he marry someone else? I only bought one McCartney album if memory serves. The last one he did with Linda before she passed away I think. Had a track on it called 'Only love remains'. Very sentimental as only he can do it, but I liked the song.
Beatles Night at the Five Bells next Friday. McCartney's latest tour got rave revues. He has to pay the rent I suppose, can't afford to retire.
I did get a copy of that McCartney / Wings greatest hits double album that came out in the 1990's. Jet is a great track, Live & Let Die one of the best Bond themes. Good movie too Jane Seymour And I collected 7 or 8 of Macca's singles during my singles buying years (1980's). I wasn't a great Wings fan, preferred ELO to be honest in the 1970's. 'Out of the Blue' double album on blue vinyl. Good cover art...
Subliminal messaging. The latest advert for Flora margarine says it "isn't made with ingredients that have been through a cow". By that I assume they mean milk and / or other dairy products. The only thing that goes "through" a cow is what it eats, which then emerges as manure. So the advertisers are suggesting that cow's milk is equivalent to manure. Milk doesn't go "though" a cow, it is created inside a cow. I'm sure no formula baby feed company would advertise their product by saying "Our formula isn't made with anything that has been through a woman". OK, it's a quiet Sunday
K-Pop https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvgwz1jmg3do Hmmm. Not for me I'm afraid. Very novelty, but like all novelties it wears off very quickly. I've read there are some pretty dark goings-on behind the scenes too. More maybe than even most other kinds of pop music. Strictly for the youngsters, I suspect even they'll get bored of it before long however.
I hear the original 1977 cut of STAR WARS is going to be shown in a West End cinema soon. Without Jabba in it (good). I wonder if it will be from the original film reel too (which may be in quite poor condition) or if it will have been digitally re-mastered...
Debbie Does Dallas was what kicked off my collection Sadly my pirated copy was lost many years ago. I don't suppose that will be showing in Leicester Square any time soon. Maybe somewhere nearby in Soho...
Never owned a porno film - I was traumatised at an early age when my Nan found a newspaper under my bed with a picture of a scantily clad lady- she wasn’t even topless ! Very embarrassing
I heard on breakfast News this morning that it's National Look-a-like Day this weekend... Charlton are in contention this year, for looking like a half-decent football team Don't think they'll win a prize though. The BBC interviewed a David Beckham look-a-like Or maybe it actually was Beckham. Not sure, I wasn't watching closely. Really up with the times aren't they.
I forgot the new series of Dr Who started last Saturday, so I watched it on catch-up TV. Putting the politics to one side, I was not surprised to be disappointed, but was sad to be. I had hoped with the return of Russell T Davies that the series might regain some of the spark I thought it had way back in 2005/06 when he re-booted it. But no. The usual mix of old ideas re-hashed. Cheap CG and hackneyed old plots. This coming Saturday's preview promises nothing better either. I read online that the BBC are thinking of cancelling the show again after this series. Not surprised to hear that. In the late 1980's they took a great old show and tipped it down the toilet. Now they've done it again. They ought to sell it to ITV, like they did with the rights to Quatermass. On that occasion Nigel Kneale revived his masterpiece on "the other side". Sadly, the writers who made Dr Who so good in the 1970's are probably all dead now.
3 out of the 8 new ones are by new writers, so I'll be watching them. The rest are by Davies, I won't bother.
