the sun is big
The sun is big - very big. Luckily it is quite a long way away (93 million miles give or take one or two).
Toodle pipone day you're cool.....
Life is cruel. One day you're cool, then, without warning, you turn into a mad old granny.
the economist's new front cover
I don't read The Economist, but this is an excellent front cover after the idiotic Donald Trump tariffs. Nearly makes me want to go out and buy it.

time magazine - donald trump the worst president ever
This is a fake Time Magazine cover naming Donald Trump as the worst president ever. However, it should be a real one.

good news at last - marine le pen found guilty
Some excellent result from France, as Marine Le Pen is found guilty of embezzlement, although of course our right wing press see things differently. They wouldn't hold the same views if this was a Labour politician.
And of course she had previously called for politicians to be ineligible for life for the same kind of crime. A dangerous hate mongering right wing git.

reading rock festival 1977 line up
l may have been very young whippersnapper at the time, but l was one of the attendees at Reading Festival in 1977, hitch hiking down, putting up with the mud everywhere, not washing for three days (no change there) and seeing the occasional excellent act. Aerosmith, Thin Lizzy, Lone Star, Eddie and The Hot Rods and The Sensational Alex Harvey Band in particular. The only bonus of being an old git is being old enough at the time to go to festivals like this. All for £7.95!!

simon taylor's bez needs a meal photograph
Simon Taylor has a photographic book with loads of images from Manchester gigs from 1987 onwards. Here's a fantastic picture of Bez from The Happy Mondays looking like he could do with eating something rather than just Ecstasy. Just say no kids (but what happy times!).
this is not a spiral illusion
Despite the fact l know this is not a spiral, it still does my head in when my brain tries to convince me otherwise.

yet more white house madness - texting war plans
In any other administration, heads would be rolling for these incompetent buffoons, but it seems no-one is accountable for anything under Donald Trump's leadership, which is a very bad thing indeed.

I've just had my roof done at a very reasonable price (Cheers Ricardo) and l now have two days off and the sun is shiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnniiiinnnnnnnnnnng!!! Sitting outside with a cold beer is calling me very shortly.
gary cooper looking very camp in the texan (1930)
Here's a rather camp Gary Cooper in 'The Texan' from 1930. You don't get many cowboys looking like this any more, which personally, l think is a bad thing.

the darlington brick train sculpture from above
I've been past the Brick Train many times, but this is the first time l've seen it from above, and l'm impressed. Created in 1997 by David Mach, and based on The Mallard steam locomotive.

the sun - faulty powers
There's no way in the world that l'm a fan of The Sun newspaper, but after the Heathrow power outage and substation fire yesterday, they win the prize for todays best front page headline.
