Al Bowlly Sings 'The Very Thought of You' (1934) | British Pathé

Jazz singer Al Bowlly sings his popular hit 'The Very Thought of You' in 1934 at Pathé Studios, taken from Lew Stone's famous 'Monseigneur Band.' 

Bowlly was South African (although born in Mozambique) yet he became a great star in both the UK and America during the 1930′s. 

 Al Bowlly enjoyed over 15 big hits from 1935 to 1941, acquiring a mass radio following of millions.

 Tragically he was killed in the Blitz, when his home in St. James was bombed in 1941. He was 43 years old.

i like to think everyone has a colour associated with them, whether its just your fave colour or what you generally wear most of or what colour your bedroom walls are. i always associate the name sophie with dark blue, my mum is always a nice turquoise, i like to think my colour is a bright sunflower yellow.

if you have a specific shade pls tell me i adore when ppl have associated colours and tell me them, bc i think of them when i see that colour

#shut up danni's talking #its one of my ultimate favourite aspects of character designs and i will forever use it w my characters #but i also think abt it w ppl!!!! #its almost certainly spawned from a combo of my mum passionately loving her colour + my primary school #my primary school's name/theme/whatever was related to the rainbow #its common for primary schools in the uk for the uniform to be polo shirts and schools would pick a colour and that was your uniform #but w my school's theme being rainbows they were like lol whatever colour as long as you're in a polo shirt #so kids would choose whichever shirt colour they wanted some kids switched it up every year #others stuck w the colour they chose all 6 years #so of course i would correlate ppl w colours which is how i always relate sophie w dark blue #bc i'd play w this girl called sophie in the afterschool club who always wore dark blue through all the years i knew her #tbh i still think of my brother also as dark blue bc he would wear the same colour #if you could not guess my colour was yellow and i always felt distinctly wrong when i had to wear a different colour #there were a couple times i had to borrow a new shirt bc mine got dirty or all mine hadn't been washed so i had to wear my brother's #i don't know if its just me but i feel like everyone has an affinity with a colour even if its n9t your fave #hence the poll lmao

Sero Hanta, early-twenties, sat in a small room with his pants around his ankles and a small pot in his hand. There’s porn magazines all over the place, something he’s never quite cared for, but he still manages to deposit his sample with the nurse within a break-neck 10 minutes. Blame his youthful exuberance and the fact he hasn’t touched himself for almost two weeks leading up to his appointment, he guesses.

And you, fifteen years later, with your son. A lanky boy who’s too tall for his age, with a mop of black hair and eyes of such a richly, dark brown they’re often mistaken for black.

#Accidental dad Sero is my favourite #You scrape everything you can together to send him to UA; #bc he’s determined to become a hero just like Cellophane. #And yes; you have noticed that your sons quirk is a little similar to his favourite heroes; #but you figure there must be thousands of people with similar quirks. #Something; something - Sero guest lectures at UA and takes your son under his wing - #figuring he’s like a distant cousin or something. #Doesn’t think to ask tho. #Until one day; a heart to heart later… You son laughs; ‘Never needed a dad anyway - me and mum have always done alright.’ #Sero braces himself for talk of abuse; abandonment and dead-beat dads #So imagine his surprise when he suddenly realises… #Shit. #Maybe he’s the dead beat here.

Sirius: Dad, am I ugly?

Monty: What? How could you ask that? I'm looking at you right now, you're the most beautiful boy in the world.

James: Dad, am I ugly?

Monty: Very much.

I can’t help but laugh that the most British thing in ‘Chain of Thorns’ is James muttering “Sod that,” before chaotically firing his pistol at the lock on his and Cordelia’s bedroom door so they can have sexy times.

My purpose and singular mission in life is to make sure queer and/or neurodivergent kids know that sometimes it really is their parents who are stupid and other adults are on their side. This, unfortunately, does not make me popular with their parents. Gonnae keep doing it though.

#kid was very overwhelmed by the theatre environment and panicking and didnt want to see the show cause it looked scary #and the mum was trying to get me to tell the kid its not scary (no i dont lie to kids i told her there are lots of funny bits but a couple #of maybe scary bits too) #and I told her hey listen the bravest thing you can do is tell people you arent comfortable somewhere. youve done so well to do that #and i gave her a program so she can learn more and make an informed decision if she wants to come another time #and i asked her what her favourite things are and she said science and animals and i told her to try the museum its super fun #and her mum was all 'ugh shes a nightmare she's ~on the spectrum~' #and i went yeah me too. and told the kid this isnt for everyone and she did well to tell me and i hope she likes the museum #and like. her mum yelling at her was making everything worse. talking to her like a person with agency? #got her from full panic attack to actively smiling at me in under 5 minutes #sometimes your parents or guardians are in fact being stupid or rude! neurodivergent adults exist! other people see you and hear what you're #saying and won't be mad! #anyway. now IM very overwhelmed but i really hope that kid remembers this and i hope she has a great day #im going to get a coffee and sit under a tree for a while

Menaces when they team up. Need to find a dynamic name I can tag them with that doesn’t sound shippy. Does Kaisen work

#I love them so much #drawing their wildly different body types was sm fun #their eventual relationship after sketchbook gets together is like my favourite thing ever #their dynamic isn’t easy to out a label on #they mostly act like siblings but they’re definitely not siblings #Kaisa doesn’t really take much of a parental role with Lauren bc that’s a grown woman #and Lauren is never gonna call this lady mum #but they care about eachother a lot #and Lauren is protective of kasia the same way she is her mother #and Kaisa sometimes starts fretting over her the same way she does her kids just sorta out of default #they don’t like the terms step mum or step daughter #it just feels wrong to them #sometimes when they’re in a rush to describe their relation to someone they’ll just say yeah whatever that’s my mum or my daughter or smthn #anyways they team up to annoy anders #hilda #hilda the series #netflix hilda #hilda netflix #art #my art #digital art #fanart #doodle #drawing #Kaisa hilda #Hilda kaisa #Lauren hilda #Hilda lauren #kaisen #?

People don't acknowledge enough how messed up tenrose could get, but i lovvvve messed up relationships. Can you imagine a universe where the plan in Doomsday was successful? I think a lot of people imagine this as "they would be happy and in love forever", but can you imagine them coming down from the adrenaline high and the the stress of the situation. And now Rose has to deal with the fact that she abandoned her mother. That she'll never see her mother again, and that her mother will never see her again?

#doctor who #tenrose #one of my favourite tenrose scenes is honestly that scene in doomsday when the doctor stresses to rose that she wont be able to see her mum #and rose basically says she doesnt care and she's made her choice #and the doctor accepts it sooo quickly #i wonder how old Rose was then. 20 maybe 21?

This entire week I’ve been followed by the song “Here Comes the Sun”. It’s just playing wherever I go and I can’t help but smile when I hear it.

#it was mum’s favourite Beatles song and it turned out it was my sister’s and mine too

Just wanted to share my favourite flea market find ever: the vinyl of the original Broadway production of Les Misérables.

The front, inside and back

The sleeves (+ company)

The booklet with lyrics that was also included

I just don't really understand why Look Down isn't included tho.

#les mis #les miserables #les miz #vinyl #my new favourite flea market find #i do need to thank my mum for helping me look through all those boxes tho #she's the one that spotted it first

I'm never going to wear much make-up

Because whenever I look at my soft, undefined nose,

I see little me, looking right back.

And if I put on a little contour,

I think that would really accepting she's gone.

#We threw away your favourite skirt I'm sorry #Listen to your mum when she tells you to stop growing so fast #i love you and im sorry #this is a girlblog #hell is a teenage girl #im just a girl #female hysteria #coquette #girlblogging #girlhood #female insanity #femcel

wee kiddos and their favourite things

#fanart #the scholomance #a deadly education #this has been sitting in my files for months and i am tired of keeping them there #wanted to draw another of them as kids together but It Ain’t Working so this is now finally free from drafts jail #anyways the bit where el talks about her mum bribing 6yo her with ice cream #to prevent her from sucking the life force out of living beings #love it one of my favourites #scholomance

re your last reblog I just remembered lee mckenzie interviewing his parents after monaco and they were saying everything about that day was perfect except they just wished michelle was there too, like his parents really did well raising their kids and having a great relationship with them

He loves his sister and she loves him because she was still doing his goofy hair at 17!! He loves spending time in LA because his cousin lives there! He loves his day one homies and still makes sure he stays in touch with them! Loves his nephew and niece and will FaceTime them every two days! Buys them gifts wherever he goes in the world because he thinks of them! This man LOVES his people and he makes sure they know!!

#if I remember correctly in one of the videos from Monaco 2018 I think DC it was who mentioned that his sister had just had a baby (Isabelle #so it must have been even more bittersweet that she couldn’t be there with the new member of the family #my favourite (very rare) lore about the Ricciardo fam is Daniel mentioning (I can’t remember where now) that — #Christmas eve dinner is always with mum’s side of the family. Christmas morning is always just him and the parents and Michelle #and Christmas dinner is with dad’s side of the family #like he’s a proper Italian boy with the close extended family where they all just talk over each other #anon.txt
