Oh btw, for the benefit of Elon, this is a*parody account,* so please don't interfere with my sausage-roll eating & anti-scrobbling efforts.

The M4 Motorway to Heathrow has been closed for five hours so far because of an accident. The Tube to LHR is also shut down today because of a strike. How much is this going to cost the UK economy? Other countries prioritize reopening highways in 90 minutes or less and prioritize resolving industrial disputes on critical infrastructure quickly. The tube strikes have been pulsing on and off for years. The country needs to pick itself up and re-establish solid, good norms. Shutting down all major access to the country's biggest airport for the day is just not acceptable. It's (part of) the road to ruin.

Well, what else would you expect from one of the Joneses?! You do see who it is, don't you?! 😄 @brown_abner @CarolineLouisa6 @chubbyjoe1 @PouncerSD @foxyfacedcharl1 @tatchester @bobthebakers

Hm..no posts from @rennyrye since 2024. I hope he hasn't been scrobbled!
If you can tear yourself away from the final of The Piano(!) I am featuring on BBC 4 at 10:00 on Sunday night before a mass screening of 4 hours of Dennis Potter’s and my ‘Karaoke’. (OK, maybe just record it and watch at your leisure later or watch on iPlayer)!

Yes! These really *are* the purple pim! 😂 I always used to remove them from packets of fizzers - they were just sickly sweet & tasted like chalk. & yes, I know what chalk tastes like! Once at school, l bit off a piece and chewed it as I wanted to see what it tasted like! 😄
The worst sweets in British history.

More ways to feel old, no 510: 1984 is now as far away from 2025 as 1943 was in 1984. If you were a child in 1984 when #BoxofDelights was released, you're now around the same age as someone born in 1936, who grew up in the 2nd World War would have been in 1984. You're welcome.

What do you think is underrated children's fiction? I'll go first. It was never made into a film or tv series ( I dont think?), but to me, The Magician's Nephew is the most underrated of the Chronicles of Narnia. Without it, you'd never understand how Narnia came about. It's..

Another unpopular opinion: Return to Oz is better than Wizard of Oz. Bite me. 😄
RETURN TO OZ (1985): arguably the darkest of Disney's 'Dark Phase' movies. Bleak, eerie, and downright disturbing in places, it was initially reviled by critics and audiences alike. Full of stunning imagery and brilliant practical effects, it also featured The Wheelers *shudder*

Don't know why Santa Claus: The Movie was panned at the time & still gets a lot of hate! I loved it then as a child & still do. Special effects were fab, Dudley Moore was great fun, John Lithgow was an excellent sneering villain, & the theme by Sheena Easton was splendiferous!

...ok, some of it is a bit boring and drawn out, but it's still a splendiferous Christmas film!

...but @brown_abner still hasn't managed it to hold it *in* his hand! 😂🤣
Merry Christmas to all - but particularly to those who discover The Box of Delights beneath their tree. Here's what happened when I hand it under my hand...

Such a splendiferous photo!
Devin Stanfield and Rennie Rye reunited for Time and Tide: Making The Box of Delights for the 40th anniversary blu-ray release. It was a delight to watch. This children's serial holds a special place for so many of us that watched it in 1984. #TheBoxOfDelights
