Solidarity with Ukraine 🇺🇦

Today is the Day of the Ukrainian Ground Forces—the most numerous and powerful branch of our Defense Forces!

The Ground Forces warriors move forward, regaining every piece of occupied territory and inflicting significant losses on the enemy. They do not stop until Ukraine reaches the borders of our state.

The motto "For Ukraine! For its freedom!" is an echo and continuation of the centuries-old traditions of the struggle for our freedom.

I hope for #Ukraine. 🙏 🇺🇦 🇬🇧

@ABCust I saw the stage show a few weeks ago in Stratford - very nostalgic!

@ABCust It's a great deal more like my experience at school than Beautiful Thing, or the (non Ben Hope parts of) Heartstopper. Love to have those happier media (so much!), but Get Real is - as the title promises - a lot more 90s real.

@Polypompholyx

I agree. 👍

And. There's a 2013 play #performance of Beautiful Thing at: https://archive.org/details/2013BeautifulThing

Watching the 1998 film #GetReal. I saw this when it first came out (not long after I had), and think I may have blotted out the ending because compared to #BeautifulThing it’s a downer.

So, anyway, if you’d like to see the Ben Hope subplot from #Heartstopper stretched out over 110 minutes, do I have a treat for you!

It’s a great film, intensely realistic, and the protagonist is called some variation of Steven, so you know it’s gonna be good 😬

"Ben Hope subplot from #Heartstopper stretched out over 110 minutes"

True. 😆

They Came to #Baghdad, read by Jane Whittenshaw (who #died this #year).

Nothing beats a mystery around Christmas time. Maybe you're a fan of Gladys Mitchell's 'Mrs. Bradley', the Detective Murdoch mysteries or even Miss Scarlett and the Duke?

But for now, let's join Agatha Christie, whose archaeological travels to the Middle East inspired her to write 'Murder in Mesopotamia' and 'They Came to Baghdad'.
