dealing with the leeds defeat
How my night progressed after the Leeds defeat. Rolling Stones bootlegs and two bottles of red wine helped ease the pain (plus some smoked sausage and cheese).
l've found my perfect woman
At long last l think l've found my perfect woman. Obviously the fact that she is a cartoon is not going to prevent me fantasising.

l'm not too keen on my new uniform
I work in care and enjoy what l do, but l'm not too keen on our new uniforms. I blame God.

how l feel about the rolling stones
This pretty much sums up my feeling on The Rolling Stones. I still love and play their earlier stuff, but there new albums certainly don't get much airplay in my house.

trump - it was me as a doctor
Do the cognitive test again you senile old kiddie rapist fuck (although he knows what he's doing here).

I didn't like Bob Harris much presenting the OGWT as l thought he was an old hippie and out of touch, especially after his lame dismissal of The New York Dolls. That may well have been true but l've warmed to him over the years and he loved Marc Bolan and David Bowie, so that gets a pass from me . You get older, and hopefully you realise not everything is black or white. He is, after all, one of the good guys, and a genuine fan of music. Live long and prosper Bob.
united lose against dirty leeds and the southport rioter
After the Manchester United defeat to Dirty Leeds l need a bit of light relief (fnaaar). So.....I'm pretty sure l've put this up before but can't be bothered to look. How a life can turn to crap in a short amount of time. The Southport rioter who took a brick to the head and bollocks in quick succession was shortly afterwards jailed (in 2024). I'm old enough to remember seeing this at the time and it was hilarious. Hope he is a Leeds United fan. Maybe there is a God after all.

baby fae and the baboon heart (and paul simon)
Listening to Paul Simon's 'The Boy in the Bubble' reminded e of 'Baby Fae' and the baboon heart transplant, which of course led to other reading and kept me out of mischief for a short while. Science can certainly be amazing, and l'm speaking as someone who's had two pacemakers (not at the same time) which help keep me indestructible.

a young meat loaf and tim curry
A rather marvelous photograph of a young Meat Loaf and Tim Curry l hadn't seen before, behind the scenes of The Rocky Horror Show. What charisma and star quality both of them had.

farage and hungary - a reminder
Because of course Nigel Farage has always supported far right dictators (and been monetised by them).

I don't know who did this, but very well played. Just my kind of humour.

the trump 'healing' post has been fixed
This post is one of the more deranged ones from Trump (and that's with a lot of competition), but at least it's been fixed.

keir starmer's 'rent boys'' arsonists
The amount of times l'm in the pub and the general consensus (enabled by Facebook and the internet) amongst people (mainly Reform voters) say the young arsonists were rent boys who Keir Starmer has upset and it's being hushed up by the media. As if the mainly right wing media would be complicit in covering up a story such as this if it was true, plus there's plenty of information from Ukraine intelligence and other relate media outlets before the attacks about Russia hiring young males to do exactly this, both in Ukraine and Europe. This is why the rich do not want the poor to be educated, as they'll question such disinformation, think carefully before voting, and it's no wonder l drink.

hungary - you boys did good
I can't believe Viktor Orban is conceding so placidly but what a great result. This will put a stop to the many times Hungary vetoed the European Union and prevented them doing good things, such as more aid for Ukraine. Hopefully helpful news for a more united Europe, despite the rise of the far right, and shows good people can rise up and vote for hope not hate and corruption. Fingers crossed.

now this is what l call writing - oliver kornetzke
This piece by Oliver Kometzke articulates my feelings towards Trump better than l could. Excellent writing, spot on sentiments, and very good indeed. It's just such a shame it has to be said in the first place.

fingers crossed for the hungarian election
The Hungarian election is today, and fingers crossed Viktor Orban gets the boot. Here's Budapest last night. A very fine place, with some very fine people, and with an excellent British themed rock nightclub l had lots of fun in. Mind you, the company and the drugs may have helped, but either way, they deserve better.

Oh ho. Despite the fact that l think Israel have overstepped the mark for many years, escalation is the last thing we want.
