Tv - Must Watch Shows
Started watching 'The Agency' on Paramount+ It's an english language remake of a French series - 'Le Bureau des Légendes' (also on Paramount +) - that came out a few years back and which is one of my top 5 TV shows of all time Well worth a watch and Michael Fassbiende is pretty good in the lead role. But IMHO, the french original is better.

The Parkway Club Peterborough
Had to leave midway through (6am start next morning) but this was the best NS event I've been to for a long time. Busy from the word go, great atmosphere and nice to see some younger folk (well they looked younger) doing their thing on the dance floor. All in all, I Loved it, Cheers, S

Cinema - Film / Movie Talk
Thanks Kathryn, glad you enjoyed it i(if 'enjoyed' is the right word) Sort of film related, I'm currently watching 'Better call Saul' on Netflix . Once you get through the first couple of episodes in series one, which to be honest are mildly annoying, it settles down to become a truly great peice of Television. Back on topic, one of the better films I've seen lately is 'Mr Jones' I think it's on Netflix - not entirely sure, it's all about Stalin's forced starvation of the Ukrainian people in the 1930s.

Bastarden (Danish Title) AKA The Bastard or 'The Promised Land' is well worth a watch - first thing to have kept me occupied for 2 hours for since I don't know when. It's on the BBC Iplayer.

Law of Tehran, a compelling, magnificent piece of work. My attention span is severely limited and yet I was completely transfixed for the just over two hours. Blew me away

Records That Make Your Heart Smile
Underneath my appartment theres a typical Swedish restaurant serving typical Swedish food. I had the windows open last night and just caught the faintest traces of something special on their CD player. Margie Joseph - One more chance Moved over to the window, lit up a fag, and sung (out loud). Felt happy and stupid all at the same time. Then this morning I went over to the 2nd hand shop and found an album Ive been after for donkeys - Blue Magic, 13 blue magic street which includes the sublime - The lonliest house on the block. Bit my tongue this time but its going around in my head as I type

Walked to work this morning whistling along to Sam and Dave's 'soothe me' . Got a few odd looks from the locals as I don't think that whistling is a european thing.

Lillian Dupree - Sheild Around My Heart / Hide & Seek -d Town 1051
Only ever heard this played out once (Shield Around my Heart) and I was hooked. Bought a copy a few months ago. It's £100 on Manship but I would have thought that you could get one cheaper than that. Good Luck k

Stafford for the music and from what I've heard, the punters.

Northern Soul What Does It Cost You?
I've recently started collecting ( a modest 60 odd records) and to be honest I have to keep a close check on it - I know I could easily go completely overboard. Prices do seem on the high side but compared with what prices/wages were like in the seventies I don't see that it's too much of a luxury.
