Today in 1805 Nelson won a shattering victory at Trafalgar. Ships lost: French and Spanish fleet: 22 British: 0

The word “metaphor” thinks this is too on the nose and would like to request a new term.

Define "Perfect Ending."

The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.

Farewell to the sublime Dame Patricia Routledge.

In honour of spooky month, one great horror film a day, every day starting with…. Village of the Damned (1960) #filmsky

Team Europe trolling Trump after winning The Ryder Cup 🤣💀

England are world champions. After back-to-back defeats in the previous two World Cup finals, the host nation overcome a spirited Canada to win the tournament in front of a record crowd for women's rugby. It means their only loss in 64 games came in the final against New Zealand in 2022.

I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again. Ignore the haters, London is the 🐐

Fair play to Sadiq Khan. To live rent-free inside the head of the president of the USA is a massive achievement for any Mayor of London.

It is with profound sadness that The Yorkshire County Cricket Club announces the passing of Harold Dennis “Dickie” Bird MBE OBE, one of cricket’s most beloved figures, who died peacefully at home at the age of 92. Read more: yorkshireccc.com/news/harold-...

In London, hate will never win.

Farewell to The Sundance Kid 💔 #filmsky

We must unite against those who seek to divide us.

This is Seiko. He was just adopted. Now that he finally has a human of his very own, he's never letting go. 14/10 (TT: seikotherescue)

Had a rewatch of Knives Out this evening ahead of the new film. My goodness it’s a real cracker of murder mystery and Chris Evans is deliciously devilish 😈 #filmsky

Jeffrey Epstein’s estate has given Congress a copy of the 2003 birthday book, including the letter with Trump’s signature that he has said doesn’t exist. Read more: 🔗 on.wsj.com/4nGGdnJ

I’ve spent the summer searching here and there for the much heralded uprising.

Sceptical that this is a retirement village in Reading. 😅

Double rainbow…

Watched The Thursday Murder Club on Netflix this evening. My main feeling is that it’s a real shame they made such poor use of a really terrific cast. #filmsky

Reading Pride was fierce this year….

Fun to see Escape from New York at the BFI this evening, it’s flaws are many but it remains iconic. #filmsky

This is my flag.

County Ground, Taunton, slightly overcast but still lovely 🥰

My piece on racism for @theobserveruk.bsky.social observer.co.uk/news/opinion...

This They Might Be Giants TONIGHT SHOW performance of "Birdhouse In Your Soul" from 1990 remains firmly lodged in my noggin thanks to the Tonight Show Band's full commitment and Doc Severinsen's incredible trumpeting... It took an already great song and made it transcendent.

The rolling hills of Devon…

Found the local ritual site on my morning hike… 😯

The official trailer for Anemone, starring Daniel Day-Lewis, is here 🎥 The film will have its world premiere at this year’s New York Film Festival. It will be released in select theaters on October 3 and expand on October 10.

Came across the first series of ITV’s The Jury on Netflix, half way through realised it had an earlyish appearance by Gerard Butler in a “straight from rehab to the jury room” kind of role. Must say he almost looks younger now than he did then 😅 #filmsky

Keanu was not great in that movie but director and star Kenneth Branagh didn't need him to be great in that movie, he needed him to be hot and occasionally shirtless in that movie, and Keanu delivered on that brief and then some

Haha! It worked! I scoped out the angle this morning and figured I’d be very lucky to pull it off, but it was surely worth a try, eh? #Edinburgh #RedArrows #Photography

RIP Jim Lovell ‘When I circled the moon and looked back at Earth, my outlook on life and my viewpoint of Earth changed... Earth is a spaceship, just like Apollo & just like Apollo, the crew must learn to live & work together. We must learn to manage the resources of this world with new imagination.’

Every so often you come across a remarkable film that seemed to pass the world by, in this case “A Thousand and One” , which I saw at the BFI this evening. A rich, evocative and gut wrenching study of domestic struggles in a prejudicial society with a stunning lead turn by Teyana Taylor. #filmsky

This seems like a prime example of “first world problems”….

Had a blast watching The Ladykillers at the BFI earlier today, one of the all time great crime capers. 🤩 #filmsky

"Kinda lost for words here... we toured with Ozzy in 81 & he, the band & Sharon were SO supportive. He always had time for a chat, took us under his wing & showed us how & how not to party... & played us the 2nd album months before it came out...

Ozzy Osbourne has passed away at the age of 76

Colbert comes out swinging. Gonna be a fun 10 months...

Great afternoon at the London Diamond League, started in heavy rain, ended in glorious sun - can’t get much more British than that!

A room with a view….
