Beautiful words ❤️ Thinking of Simon, his family & friends, with love today 🙏🏻
Funeral today for @ProfSJJames. So much love in the room. He was a community. A shelf of books that hold one another in place. May we all lead just good, creative, sociable, & caring lives. His name will long be spoken, pints raised, plays acted, & words wrought in his memory.
Well done, lads! (Despite the quite frankly bizarre refereeing in the final couple of heats!!)

I mean, he’s not wrong about the sherry 🤣
A 2015 press cutting on Larkin’s rejection of nomination for the Oxford Professorship of Poetry. ‘My idea of hell on earth…is a literary party, and I have an uneasy feeling that the post carries with it a lot of sherry-drill with important people.’
I was SHOCKED by the ending of today’s episode!!! 😬😬😬 #neighbours
My happy place!! Please #SaveNeighbours
How would you describe Neighbours in 3 words? #Neighbours40
#Neighbours is still loved, still relevant, and still has so much to give. It just needs the right home. #SaveNeighbours #BringBackNeighbours @NetflixUK @FremantleHQ

OZTV @ScreenStarEvent in London delivered. Some brilliant chats, great memories, and yes - still weird seeing these faces in person after years on screen. #Neighbours #OZTV
Exactly this!! The five cast members at the @ScreenStarEvent day today gave up so much of their time to hang out with us and then all spoke so warmly of their fellow cast and crew members from across the show’s forty year history 🥹 #saveneighbours
🩷 It’s ALL about the #PEOPLE & the @neighbours cast / crew to the fan community are our extended #FAMILY. We will never stop fighting for them. Dear #broadcasters #streamers we beg you PLEASE #SaveNeighbours #Neighbours #bringbackneighbours 🌈

Quick heads-up to my friends on here who work in the BL. If you need to access a restricted item you will need to RESEND a reference letter from yr university to the Manuscripts department. Even if you’ve been approved for 20 yrs. The cyber attack erased all our credentials. 😢
Now that would bring me back to Strictly!!! (Though for a minute I genuinely thought, how will he manage with his leg? 🤣🤣🤣)
