Most people know Alvin Stardust was known as Shane Fenton (real name Bernard Jewry) beforehand. What they don't know is Shane Fenton didn't sing 'My Coo Ca Choo', he mimed it. The singer (and writer) was Peter Shelley, who decided to back out of the spotlight after one TV appearance, hence Shane Fenton stepping in. Plus, the original image for Alvin Stardust was completely different.
Here's the original image, with Peter Shelley singing.

The 'Christian' Toomy Robinson's response after being fond guilty of intimidation. No doubt another appeal for money will be upcoming. If he's a Christian, l'm Jesus.
Oh sorry. This was his view of Liz Truss' disastrous budget.

Anyone who thinks that Trump is going to go quietly is living in dream world. The Republicans will also do everything in their power to rig the elections, backed by their tech bro buddies. It's going to get very messy, and what's left of democracy in the USA is at stake.

First of all l don't believe this, and secondly, if he says he is struggling on that amount of money, imagine how the workers on minimum wage are trying to get by.

I thought l'd stroll in at the last minute without reserving a place and play the persecuted victim, even though spaces were still available. Knobhead.

Nothing to see here and Boris is as clean as the driven snow. Move along.

If it's Wednesday and l'm off work, it's meet up time at the local pub. Once again, not as hoped for.
The expectation.

An apt image of why Ukraine need the west's help. Russia won't just stop at their borders if they win.

OK, l can't afford a new Tesla, but l think l've put together a pretty fine copy of one. Like the expensive ones, this also does not fly.

Excellent work. Well played. If anyone isn't expecting electoral interference, lies, denials and scaremongering, they've not been paying attention.

This pretty much sums it up, and it's good to know there are at least some lines you shouldn't ross, even for MAGA voters..

The thing is, much as l dislike the man, l don't think he believes this, which makes it worse, as he's just trying to stoke up his right wing base by pretending to be ignorant and racist. Either that or he is. As for me, One of the books l am currently reading is by Kahlil Gibran (Broken Wings), as, unlike RFK l think Arabs do produce literature.

Headline from yesterdays Guardian, and they are not wrong. It's the same with MDMA. Times have changed since l was younger and with a quick phone call whatever you want will be dropped off in minutes (I've heard).
Can't put it off any more and l should have done this yesterday, but l guess it's time to put the clock back.

As it's National Pumpkin Day in the USA, here's the first Peanuts cartoon that mention The Great Pumpkin, on this day in 1959. Followed by the next few days strips. I loved these books when l was younger.
Well this is a pleasant change. JD Vance telling the truth. Mind you, he has said in the past that he thinks Donald Trump did commit sex crimes and is a fascist so l guess this isn't the first time the truth has come out.

Donald Trump. A sex predator, child and woman rapist. Who'd have thought so? He should be in prison (along with others).

Another crappy performance which wasn't really unexpected. Much as l admire Michael Carrick, I'd imagine Eddie Howe is putting petrol in his car ready for a journey to Manchester.
