@Bertrom There is not enough thought and beauty in the world and your posts try to rectify that. Please keep it up. ♥️

@CherylCritchley We didn’t fall over the line, we won properly!

@CherylCritchley I’m so sorry you had to go through that @CherylCritchley and thank you for putting this out there and explaining what happened and how it happened. You are right, it is a jungle out there, but importantly, welcome back. 🐯

@Melbourne_says I gave mine away because I couldn’t get it right.

@rosswilsonmusic @ACMI I reckon I saw it at the old Valhalla in Richmond at the time. It’s a good film.

[Merita Tabain @MeritaTabain]

@CherylCritchley @AFL Well said!

[Merita Tabain @MeritaTabain]

@NGruen1 You’ve made me want to go back and watch it again. Always loved the film, but hadn’t thought about it in the context you’ve just written @NGruen1. Though I can’t agree with you about Beckett being boring.

The female athlete wins an Olympic gold medal. The male athlete almost wins an Olympic gold medal, he wins a silver, still a great achievement but WHO does the paper highlight? Seriously!!!!

Amazing anecdote from David Mamet about Tom Stoppard in @TheFP:

"Steven Spielberg asked Tom to write the screenplay for Jaws, and Tom said he couldn’t as he was writing a play for the BBC. Spielberg said, 'I'm offering you a fortune to collaborate with me on a Hollywood blockbuster, and you turn me down to write a play for BBC TV?"

"No," Tom said, "BBC Radio."
