“After biker Reggie (Colin Campbell) and his hair-hopper girlfriend, Dot (Rita Tushingham), tie the knot, they head to a holiday camp for their honeymoon where things go sour in a flash. Yearning to escape the drudgery of his new married life, Reggie becomes fast friends with Pete (Dudley Sutton), a quick-talking fellow leather boy with whom he takes trips to the seaside, much to the chagrin of Dot, who struggles to make their house a home. When Reggie’s grandfather passes away unexpectedly, he asks Pete to join his grandmother (Gladys Henson) as a boarder and live-in companion in her spare room, where he also crashes after he and Dot have a row. Cohabitating with his new roommate, it soon becomes clear that Pete and Reggie have feelings for each other that go beyond mere friendship - feelings that neither of them may be willing or able to process.”

/ From Rocco T Thompson’s review of The Leather Boys for Slant website, 2021 /

Released on this day sixty years ago (8 March 1964): director Sidney J Furie’s gritty working-class British kitchen sink realist drama (and homoerotic biker classic) The Leather Boys (1964). (Tagline: “Three lives ripped savagely apart!”). Some scenes were filmed at London’s old-school transport café The Ace Café in Wembley; when I used to occasionally go to rockabilly gigs there years ago, it looked exactly the same. For the “leather jacket lover” crowd, Colin Campbell and Dudley Sutton resemble escapees from Kenneth Anger’s Scorpio Rising (1963) in their biker gear – and the great Rita Tushingham absolutely slays as the petulant Dot! Coronation Street fans will recognize a young Johnny Briggs (aka Mike Baldwin) in the supporting cast.

I am at a strange point in my life where I am simultaneously a fully functional adult and a college student.

So I took vitamins and an omega 3 supplement this morning, but I washed them down with peach tea monster.

#the two years where i was a fully functional adult and not a college student already feel like a weird dream #i had an office. i wore business casual. #i had shit like deliverables and a time tracker. #now I'm lying in bed trying to figure out how I'm going to fit making challah for my classmates into writing my syllabus #(my syllabus is about Victorian fashion in the cultural consciousness. I'm structuring it around the peacock dress.) #(the peacock dress is actually for the coronation of Victoria's successor but that's not important.) #the first half of the class is going to be the reality of Victorian fashion and how they used it/thought about it #the second half is about the modern myths and how WE use it/think about it #both halves are going to end with the peacock dress - first the real one second that controversial recreation attempt #and we're going to talk about how we think about the period and how it's shaped us and how the way we misunderstand it shapes us #so it's secretly a class about *myths* in the cultural consciousness and how the history that we hold dear often isn't what really happened. #those kids won't know what hit them.

Hello there Duchess! I haven't seen you get asked very many questions, so.. Forgive me if this is a tad personal, but what were Coronation Classes 6221 "Queen Elizabeth"and 6222 "Queen Mary" like? Were they like.. the leaders of the Stanier engines back when they still roamed the rails?

Duchess of Loughborough: Yes! Of course! Hello! I haven’t gotten any questions yet, this is very exciting! No one really asks me about my siblings, Miss Hamilton and City of Birmingham are the ones who usually get these questions being in the public eye.

Well, the leader of the LMS engines back in the day were 6220 Coronation and 6221 Queen Elizabeth! Of course it made perfect sense for them to be the leaders, especially with Elizabeth being named after the Queen. Queen Mary was annoyed at not being a class leader and tended to boss other engines like the Princess and Royal Scots.

Queen Elizabeth took after the Queen, was always prim and proper and was best friends with our oldest sister. Queen Mary was a little arrogant and jealous of Elizabeth at first but over time she became good friends and eased on the bossiness. She was still a little bit bossy though!

#sorry for the wait #i didn’t know what do for these guys for the longest time #but yeah Queen Elizabeth was leader of the LMS engines #coronation (the engine) was the leader of the class #duchess answers #ttte young iron

Remembering British film director, Michael Apted, who passed away January 7th, 2021, aged 79.

According to his obituary in The Guardian,

"He was a director who moved with ease between socially conscious documentaries and feature films with a special focus on female achievement".

His career began as a trainee at Granada Television, Manchester, where as a researcher he worked on the first of the ground-breaking documentary series, Seven Up, in 1964, originally conceived as a one-off episode as part of the World in Action programme. He also directed episodes of Coronation Street (he described Violet Carson and Pat Phoenix as 'the biggest divas in Britain'), and The Lovers, with Richard Beckinsale and Paula Wilcox, along with other television plays and programmes.

In Hollywood, he directed a number of acclaimed, diverse and successful movies, including Coal Miner’s Daughter (seven Oscar nominations with Cissy Spacek winning Best Actress), Gorky Park, Gorillas in the Mist, one James Bond (The World is not Enough), and Chronicles of Narnia - Voyage of the Dawn Treader.

He continued to steer the ‘Up’ documentary series each seven years, which checked in on the fate of a number of British children from different classes and backgrounds, from the age of seven. The most recent, 63 Up, screened in 2019. He said, "The series was an attempt to do a long view of English society. The class system needed a kick up the backside."  He described the series as the most important thing he had ever done.

According to The Guardian;

"...Though the Up films were internationally acclaimed, winning Apted the coveted Peabody award in 2012, he mourned their skewed portrait of women. "The change that’s gone around with women in the workplace and women’s place in society is the most significant socio-political event in contemporary culture," he said in 1995. "I missed it. I only had four women out of the 14 and all four of them settled into domestic life very quickly"... In his good-natured way he prodded and challenged the trio of working-class women in the show, who gave as good as they got..."

He intended to continue the 'Up' Series for as long as he was able, and 70 Up was proposed for 2026.

In 1995, Michael Apted appeared on a documentary by fellow director Stephen Frears, along with Alan Parker, A Personal History of British Cinema. He was typically forthright, did not seem to think particularly highly of David Lean's epics including Zhivago and Lawrence of Arabia, and opined that Ken Loach's Kes was the best British film since the war.

Perhaps fittingly, 63 Up was Michael Apted's final screen credit.

#oh philosophy my dearest beloved #favorite thing was the mention of kant! mutuals blorbo from philosophy. quite nice #i like his definition of philosophy. #my personal favorite was jaspers‚ calling philosophy a path/road (not sure how to translate it to english?) #oh‚ perhaps it's journey. #it's a nice idea that no matter how far you walk‚ philosophy is always the road you're taking‚ not an arbitrary destination #oh also physics my beloved. #we're on the topic of... what's it? oh‚ circuits. (turkish to english translation in my head my beloathed) #at some point in the class the teacher asked the class that someone come up to the board and draw a circuit so she could make a question - #- out of the circuit drawn. #no one raised their hand‚ and so i did! i was not courageous but i did it. and she seemed a little proud of me which is nice #oh oh very important detail for today‚ at the end of the day when it was time to unlock the locker where the student phones are kept‚ #the philosophy teacher called my name and asked that since i was the most frequent participator in class‚ i be the one to unlock it #it felt analogous with a coronation. you understand #🌙rambling

but surely the buildings become worthless if there aren't any royals living in them? no hate but they do a lot for the economy which will only make the current situation in the uk worse?

babygirl the amount of tax i pay on cigarettes has done more for the economy than the royal family

#me.txt #anon #uk politics #i am too lazy too tired etc. to point towards facts but #there are sources out there #i am also too biased and hate the royals #but even in relation to buildings the castles etc. they are still /not/ the primary tourist attraction #google is free #and ur right they are going to make the economy worse #by uk taxpayer money (which will hit working class ppl the hardest) funding big lizzy’s funeral #and sausage fingers’ coronation #they said no no i could make it worse #and i will

While the storm that will hit us is expected to be a minor one, the right circumstances can make things worse for us. For instance, the presence of solar winds and co-rotating interaction region (CIR) will allow these particles to escape the magnetosphere of Earth and enter the lower atmosphere. That can exponentially increase the overall impact of this storm. In the worst-case scenario, small satellites can be damaged, wireless communication such as GPS and mobile networks can be interrupted, the internet can be disrupted, and ground-based electronics can be overloaded.

solar storm about 10pm EEST babes, enjoy the show

I think my brain told me to log off last night. I had a dream where I was back in sixth form college at age 16, and we all got assigned a 20 year old type of mentor/moral support person ig for the year. before we actually met them we were shown a row of lockers where they'd pasted up their names and 3 fun facts about themselves (all I remember that mine sounded really annoying), as well as the outline of the syllabus, which included that at the end of term, our exam (it was a media studies class) would be to create and perform a tiktok dance together and I was alreay filled with immense dread for the next 7 months

#my subconscious pulling from the time in uni where one of our class lessons involved making a vine #the two themes could choose from were parkour #and coronation street #dream diary
