Have just started to re-read the Berlin stories

Isherwood actually later stated he regretted his approach to writing those two novels as it was from an outsider’s view on the rise of Nazism, giving too much humour to the narrative

Still loved Goodbye to Berlin (1939)

I'd like to think that somewhere in football heaven Brian Clough is telling Trevor Francis to take his hands out of his pockets!
RIP

Just a thought... Laurie Cunningham only played 3 seasons for Orient and I'd say he was a club legend. :lol: I'd have Smyth over Comfort. That is the funniest thing I have every heard 🤣🤣 Smyth shouldnt be mentioned in the same breath as Alan Comfort. Smyth was good for a season, and scored a few goa...

Which division was Marvin Ekpetita in when we signed him? Didn’t work out too badly - now in the Championship!

Watched brilliant three-part documentary series ‘The Beatles: Get Back’ (2021) produced and directed by Peter Jackson. "I'd like to say thank you on behalf of the group and ourselves and I hope we've passed the audition." Starring the Fab Four: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison ...

The classic “group of death” with Scrooge AND Muppets Christmas Carol!

Hello Andy Just some comments on tonight’s very enjoyable show. The injury to James, the inconsistency, squad depth and too many draws and not enough wins are concerning. Ultimately these will conspire to deny us promotion this season I feel if they continue. Overall I’ve really enjoyed this season ...

Thank you. Never seen the kit you mention

Does anyone know the actual colours of the is rare Orient away kit?

There’s only one Looney Left! https://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O225910/there-is-only-one-loony-poster-morris-john/ The daft thing about it is the "looney left " still think he is the best leader since the invention of sliced bread, they still don't understand why the electorate didn't vo...

Those who want to watch Orient’s women’s team might just not care so much whether they play in tier 4 or tier 9 right now. Similar to those who watched Orient in the National League; you support who you support whatever tier they are playing in. Perhaps for those who claim the women’s team is merely...

Great podcast as always

So important to have the club, players and supporters working to support Oldham Athletic in a difficult time for them. Really hope things work out well for them.

Very nice to meet you both briefly on the way to the ground

Totally fine to just watch the movie and not stay for the post-film discussion Also... As for any other comments by others on the event. Being excited or even aroused by any homoerotic elements is of course naturally fine. In case any film buffs are keen to attend cult film screenings in East London...

In case any film buffs are keen to attend cult film screenings in East London, I organise and host a monthly cult film evening + post-film discussion at the Genesis Cinema on the Mile End Road... Recently I've screened:'Holy Mountain', 'Battle Royale', 'The Shining','Female Trouble', 'Oldboy, 'The T...

Comments from Pompey fans can be viewed partly on Jacket’s lack of getting promotion despite two play off appearances and cup finals at Wembley. A couple of Pompey fans I know well (I was born in Portsmouth and used to visit Fratton Park regularly until my mid-20s) really appreciate the work he did ...

Used to watch Peter Marinello on the wing for Pompey as a youngster. A very good and exciting player indeed... Still worried. Far more important things to worry about than Leyton Orient FC. Go take a glass of your favourite Single Malt Scotch Whisky ! Don't really like whisky. All you had to say was...

Lest we forget. Today in 1916 Clapton Orient footballer William Jonas was killed during WWI on the Somme in France. (RIP)

Feeling very optimistic about the new season. The friendlies against top opposition were encouraging; seemed to have a good shape, enthusiasm and understanding of how Jackett wants them to play with high pressing. However... do feel the squad needs another three or four players... 1. Goalkeeper - La...

Commemorating the late, great Laurie Cunningham (RIP) (8 March 1956 – 15 July 1989) who played for Orient between 1974-1977. Later playing for West Bromwich Albion in the top flight of British football then Real Madrid (the first British player to do so) in Spain and finally earning six full caps fo...

This! I love the off-centre gable

Just like Chesterfields crooked spire or the leaning tower of Pisa

A very impressive session. The new directors and investors seem very focused and have the club’s best interests at heart.

The East stand being refurbished, a new pitch coming in the next season or so, a top class manager... it’s all very good.

Up the Os

I thank you!
