@ODEONHelp Im trying to contact you about my limitless membership but all I get is a message back...like in the pic. But no one ever gets back to me!

[Paul Astley @paulastley69]

@ODEONHelp Im having difficulty contacting odeon about my limitless membership. Emails reply says use live chat. Love chat (which is hard to locate) cuts off after a time. Help!!!

[Paul Astley @paulastley69]

Here are some great examples of the brilliant photography from the #queenscrossnetwork photography club. Amazing results. And Halloween themed as well...hence the black and white prints!

[Paul Astley @paulastley69]

@NicolasBarlow Nic it was great to see you as well and welcome you to the centre once again. See you again very soon hopefully and p.s. you did far better than me on whack-a-mole 😁

[Paul Astley @paulastley69]

Great to welcome @NicolasBarlow back to #queenscrossnetwork this morning to show him how the services offered from here are safely & surely coming back to life after covid. Cllr Nic enjoyed trying his hand with the award winning RITA tablets! Supported by Jason and Michelle....

[Paul Astley @paulastley69]

@GMB Make the jab compulsory for all. And make covid passports compulsory for entering public places. Thats the only way to stop this thing now! Unless we all want to be prisoners in our own home for ever more.

@FilmstoFilms_ Bohemian Rhapsody. I think box office takings should count in with the voting to decide which film gets the prize. In the past there have been some bizzarre decisions. Green book instead of the hugely popular bohemian Rhapsody? Parasite instead of the BRILLIANT 1917? Come on!!!?

[Paul Astley @paulastley69]

We spent a most productive and enjoyable afternoon with @HWDudley at #queenscrossnetwork talking about the accessibility of the new @dudleymbc social care public portal. And the meeting ended with cake! Happy birthday Tracy from @dudleycil

[Paul Astley @paulastley69]

Many thanks to @SCIE_socialcare forbthe BRILLIANT coproduction webinar for #CoProWeek. Personally I think copro is about a much wider arena that services. But copro services is a great starter for 10

[Paul Astley @paulastley69]

@PeskettTony @ODEONCinemas No sorry

[Paul Astley @paulastley69]

First time back after 2nd closure last night to @ODEONCinemas dudley. Saw The conjouring. Devil made me do it. Good film. Cinema was surprisingly busy. All very safe. GREAT to be back. The popcorn smell / cinema smell has gone from the cinema though! Strange but true.

[Paul Astley @paulastley69]

Enjoying taking part in my first #dmbcCoffee with colleague Liz from @dudleymbc Public health.

[Paul Astley @paulastley69]

@GMB @MartinSLewis No tie for Martin please. He is the PEOPLE'S CHAMPION. It would be so wrong!

[Paul Astley @paulastley69]

@melzc1 @ODEONCinemas When I originally joined, I joined in cinema. The staff members signed me up there and then. You may be able to do that if you pop into your local odeon perhaps?

[Paul Astley @paulastley69]

@ODEONCinemas @MichaelPAstley LOVED it! He starred in the stage show himself so wanted to see tge movie version. He's going to see it again with me when its on general release (I am limitless but couldnt make the exclusive screening). Im thinking it will be West side story meets Grease?

[Paul Astley @paulastley69]

@sarajcox My birthday today Every year im reminded how my name was chosen by my siblings who put some baby names in ashtray on bits of curled up paper. Paul selected for a boy & Claire for a girl. Oddly enuf I married a Claire. I cringe at the other names in the running. Im not a Gareth!

[Paul Astley @paulastley69]

@realmissfiona Could do well. I think its Maltas to lose though.

[Paul Astley @paulastley69]

Its a GREAT site, Ive missed seeing @ringandridewm mini buses on #Queenscrossnetwork car park. But now They're BACK!! 🌝

[Paul Astley @paulastley69]

Great feedback from #Queenscrossnetwork about yesterdays reopening. Im particularly enthused by the "live link up" on zoom so people at home can participate in centre based activities in real time. The wonders of technology!
