Why you should spend less time here + on no account use the site's 'For You' tab (most people's default) unless you're determined to descend into the cess pit of evil that is the depraved consciousness of the site's owner.

The Cineworld closure news is especially bad for members of the Indian, Pakistani, Korean, Chinese/World communities in Nottingham, who are currently pretty well served. See, for instance, the offerings currently listed on the CW website. Hope @BroadwayCinema can do more here.

Sad to receive an email saying @cineworld is closing its Nottingham cinema on February 2nd, having failed to secure a rent reduction. Their unlimited card has given great value for more than 20 years. Still, has to be good news for my favourite Nottingham cinema @BroadwayCinema

@GeoffNicholson9 Sadly, I only have dry vermouth, or I'd give it a shot.

The new @uncutmagazine has four acts I have tickets for in #Nottingham (The Weather Station, Richard Dawson, Delines & Nadia Reid) so I'm obviously in the right place. Hope BPB will tour too. Btw shouldn't Uncut be in the blue place by now?

As a lifelong @LFC supporter, couldn't think of anything that'd stop me supporting the club - until I read this.

Six minutes of decency, intelligence and common sense as Starmer denounces lies& praises Jess Philips while eviscerating Musk and Bad Enoch without stooping to name them. And yeah I like the way autocorrect makes me spell the Tory leader's name.

R.I.P. David Lodge, who I knew a little. A fine novelist, lovely man & big influence on me: as a Catholic novelist & on my career as an academic, where his work on writing (especially the columns published as The Art of Fiction) was so lucid, insightful & helpful to my students.

R.I.P. Jimmy Carter, the first rock'n'roll president, cruelly defeated, the most dignified of men, friend of @bobdylan Hunter S. Thompson & all who needed help.

@1michaelgray1 @sarahbeattiegra Just listened to it again. She changes the f word to 'lay with strangers' and adds the title as a last line, which is redundant. On a Greatest Hits comp.
