There's a story about the mix for Carpenter's "The Thing". So they're playing back the reel with the Blood Test Scene for Carpenter and the team and as the scene progresses, there's this slowly building rumbling sound... /1
I thought this serial killer documentary had a really effective creepy soundtrack. It was my dryer.

Amazingly, Zahawi only got round to deleting the below after the press conference announcing his defection to Reform.

Nigel Farage welcomes the experience Nadhim Zahawi brings to Reform.
Zahawi previously made tax payers pay to heat his stables and 'accidentally' paid millions less in tax than he should have. That experience?

No second state visit for Trump
Unbelievable. Keir Starmer has handed Donald Trump a letter from King Charles, inviting him for a second state visit to the UK. It’s totally unprecedented, and should not go ahead.

I realise that it's politics, but what a refreshing stance. "We're in the middle of a war but, hey, you guys need help and we're here to give it". Right after Junior Cheeto tries to make your country into the boogeyman.

The Mail and Telegraph showing us what they are: Ignorant, misleading and prejudiced publications - appealing to the very worst of us. Sad.
this kind of obviously biased headline is so frustrating when MSM is fighting for credibility
1) New Year’s Honours list is nominated by public not by political leaders
2) Khan has won three elections so the average Londoner clearly doesn’t think he’s a failure

Those grey misty days between Christmas and New Year. A time when you forget which day is which and the hardest choice is which leftovers to eat. There's no name for it in the UK, though someone described it as Betwixtmas. The Norwegians call it Romjul or Mellomjul apparently. I like that.

Terrifying, not least because the three laboratories that were able to test were all closed down by 2021 for reasons of expense. So either it was Tories cutting at public services or failed private enterprise. Both are unacceptable when the public are at risk.
