These two so remind me of me and my dad.

BTW: Expect sales of Daily Mail to rise after today's nationwide downloading of Government brainwashing device. 😉🤨😝

Out of curiosity I brought up ep 105 when they discuss their joint birthday. Same day, same age.

Last Tango in Halifax, S1E05

[Gillian on phone to Caroline] Caroline: Hello. Gillian: I spent 45 quid. That all right?

Caroline: Oh, that’s brilliant.

Gillian: Got a dressing gown…for you…for her to give to you. Just a white towel robe thing. 

Caroline: Perfect. That’s perfect. 

Gillian: If you don’t want it, I’ll have it. 

Caroline: No, it’s spot on.  Thank You. If you give me your bank details, I’ll transfer the cash. I’ll pay for her stuff as well.

Alan, Celia, Raff & Robbie playing cards in living room

Alan: That’s cheating!

Robbie: It isn’t (I think - kinda mumbled) 

Gillian: [on phone] When is it your birthday, by the way, out of interest? Just ‘cause it’s mine, tomorrow,

Caroline: Tomorrow. 

Gillian: [surprised] You’re kidding. It’s mine, tomorrow. How weird is that? 

Caroline: How old are you?

Gillian: How old are you? 

Caroline: Forty-six, I will be tomorrow. 

Gillian: That’s…

Caroline: You?

Gillian: Yeah.

Caroline: Good lord, that’s a bit…

Gillian: [starts to laugh] We’re twins.

Caroline: [bursts out laughing] Well, we’re something. 

Gillian: Are you winding me up? 

Caroline: No. I had no idea. 

[Card game. Celia looking at Raff’s cards]

Celia: Oh, he’s got a good hand! 

[Gillian interrupts the game]

Gillian: Hey! Oi! You’re never going to believe this. This is weird...

[change scene]

Slight nitpick re: LTIH fanfic. I’ve read some that note that Gillian had Raf was she was really young.

No, she didn’t. She got pregnant when she was 15 (after sleeping with Robbie) and aborted. Given Raf was 15, maybe 16 in Series 1, Gillian was turning 46. Which puts her somewhere btw 30-31 when she was pregnant with Raf. Eddie died when Raf was 6.

Stereotyped as a city of industry and mills, Bradford’s long history of art and writing can easily be overlooked. Three Faces of Bradford refocuses our gaze, with an exclusive screening of three short films made between 1975 and 1980 from the BBC Arena archives. Highlighting artists David Hockney and David Oxtoby and playwright Andrea Dunbar, the documentaries capture their distinctive individual creativity yet also their shared Bradford roots. You can still watch responses from four Bradfordians noted for their contributions to the arts today: Bradford Community Broadcasting director Mary Dowson, artist Mick Manning, actor Kat Rose-Martin and scriptwriter Tajinder Singh Hayer. Read and listen to new poems from Yorkshire poets Adam Lowe and Rommi Smith and then try your hand at writing your local memoirs, with a masterclass from author Monique Roffey.

Man from Buttershaw jailed for historic child abuse

Man from Buttershaw jailed for historic child abuse

A man who sexually abused young girls over a period of nearly half a century has been jailed for 22 years.

Michael Cannon, aged 76, of Boltby Lane in Bradford, was sentenced today (Wednesday) for the offences which were committed between 1969 and 2016.

The case against Cannon began in January 2016, when a 10-year-old girl alleged that he had sexually abused her the previous summer at his home…

Image: Still of Clio Barnard, The Arbor, 2010

The Arbor is part of The Artangel Collection. Following its premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York in April 2011, The Arbor was screened at cinemas across the UK. It has since been seen at Tate Britain in February 2014 , at ICA in September 2015 and the Belfast Film Festival in April 2018.

Andrea Dunbar, the tenacious young playwright whose work was described as ‘Thatcher's Britain with its knickers down', grew up on the notorious Buttershaw Estate in Bradford. It was on this estate that she wrote her three plays 'The Arbor', 'Rita, Sue and Bob Too' and 'Shirley', had her three children, and died prematurely, at the age of 29, in 1990.  Her eldest daughter Lorraine was just 10 years old when her mother died, and by 29 had also had 3 children, and had been imprisoned. Clio Barnard's film 'The Arbor' follows Lorraine's personal journey as she is introduced to her mother’s plays and letters. Artist and director Clio Barnard (who also grew up in the Bradford region) spent two years interviewing members of the Dunbar family and local residents before creating an audio 'screenplay' that was lip-synched by actors. The result, as Peter Bradshaw wrote in The Guardian, is ‘a new kind of 'verbatim cinema' ... a modernist, compassionate biopic.'

[sweetcentrerestaurant]

There were 1,545 affirmed cases in the previous figures, a fall of 55 cases from yesterday and a decline of seven percent from seven days prior. The region with the most elevated number of cases is Queensbury with 47, trailed by Buttershaw with 45, and Bierley and Tong with 44 cases. No regions in the Bradford region or in encompassing regions recorded less than three cases in the beyond seven days. So, the situation is not good. Follow the Covid guidelines. Use a mask before going out. During these days eat healthy food for a healthy life. Try ordering food online.
