AFC Wimbledon threw away a 1-0 lead to draw 1-1 with Wycombe Wanderers. It's the kind of game that the club needs to be winning to avoid relegation

#Blackandwhitefilm of the day: The Seventh Seal, 1957. Ingmar Bergman's masterpiece about a knight playing chess with Death to extend his life. The film, about faith and death, has been voted one of the best ever made. Judge for yourself on BBC4 at 9.30pm youtu.be/NtkFei4wRjE?si=F2vU…

It's finally settled: Britain's oldest #pub is in Somerset and dates from the late 1300s. (All the old pubs I've been too that have claims to be Britain's oldest are "modern marketing exercises")

I've had a fun and interesting week. I hope you have too.

Friday trivia: I took this picture two years ago today. What's the location?

Number of the day: 16,400 - the number of centenarians in the UK in 2025, which is almost twice the 8,700 recorded in 2005

The job search continues. I hoped to make money out of my discovery that smearing a fast-moving object with the fibrous inner part of a fruit, slowed down the object. But scientists dismissed it as simply being 'pulp friction'

#blackandwhitefilm of the day: Meet John Doe, 1941. Frank Capra's satire of corrupt journalism and politics. Gary Cooper is the down-and-out pushed by ambitious Barbara Stanwyck to sell a dodgy dream for a despotic leader on @TalkingPicsTV at 1.15am youtu.be/9j3gdbdnoEk?is=TDBB…

It's 60 years since this magnificent slice of pop hit the charts. It took six weeks to record, with the engineer saying the last take sounded exactly like the first! The single was marketed as a "pocket symphony". It's certainly no little merry melody youtu.be/8de_EbOd22M?is=jolD…

The world's smallest violin is needed

The job search continues. I had high hopes for my limbo business, but it quickly went under.

We saw AFC Wimbledon lose 3-0 to Mansfield at Plough Lane. That was three days after AFC lost 5-0 at the weekend. Relegation looks inevitable for the Dons.

#blackandwhitefilm of the day: Last Holiday. 1950. Told he has only six weeks left to live, Alec Guinness leaves his tedious job to see out his last days quietly in a hotel, but gets several surprises in a deliciously dark comedy on @TalkingPicsTV at 3pm youtu.be/MuQ1zbkA8GE?si=qEmE…

This is long overdue but pretty unenforceable, I reckon. Every time I've asked a fellow traveller to turn down their loud music, they've reacted very negatively and often aggressively. It's as if they want to provoke a reaction.

I love this picture published in today's Guardian to show how autumn colour is arriving. It's prompted today's quiz question: what is the place pictured?

The 606 club is celebrating its 50th anniversary and served up three great acts on Sunday: singer and pianist Lianne Carroll, Brazilian music specialists Samara, and the funky Wonder of Stevie celebrating the music of Stevie Wonder. A great evening!
