the 1976 heatwave 'wasn't that bad'

 This.

today's mood

Today's mood.  It's hot and l'm tired after my Liverpool shenanigans (and lots of walking during the day while there). However, l'm back to work at 3 o'clock. It'll be fine when l'm there, but the work fans will most definitely be on.

a lost tree

 I don't know where this tree has come from, but it seems to be unsure about which direction it should follow now.

scotland versus brazil

Out of old habits l watched the defeat of Scotland versus Brazil last night and it was OK l guess, but still lacked the intensity of the old days and didn't captivate me much. Example number 1 from the old days. A picture l love. I've no great love for Graeme Souness (after all, he was a Liverpool player), but this is hilarious.

still one of my favourite illusions

No.  It is not moving.

a couple of old newcastle documentaries

A couple of old Newcastle documentaries from back in the day. Times were certainly different.

All dressed up and going nowhere documentary from 1971 about the violence between skinheads and the long hairs. I can't get it to upload but copy, paste and search for it here :

me and the lads in liverpool

 I've just got back from a short break in Liverpool to see my family and see some sights. I went by myself with good intentions to take in some culture along the way, but of course l met some local lads and the nights got messy, so much so that l ended up leaving my phone on the train home, as l was pretty tired by then. Mind you, l had a great time, and the unexpected good nights are always better, so no regrets. Here's a similar picture of us out and about.

the clash - police on my back

 


the rivals house is for sale

Have you got a a spare £8 million or so lying around?  Foxfield House, the mansion and estate from 'The Rivals' is up for sale. Even if l had £100 l wouldn't want that much space (or that decor). Also, as for the racists and right wingers who say Britain is 'full', have a look at the grounds in these photographs, and remember, this is just one of a great many mansions. Tax the rich and divide up some of the opulence l say.

More photos and details are here.

art - l know what like part 434646464667426746274 - joan miro 'constellation, awakening at dawn' 1941

The Nazi's found this 'degenerate'.  That's more than good enough for me, but l think it's excellent.  Joan Miro's 'Constellation : Awakening at Dawn' from 1941. If l had children this is the sort of wallpaper l'd want for them. It'd be character building.

united nations report on israel and palestine

Nothing to see here. Just the targeting of children and abuse of them when captured, amongst other atrocities. War crimes committed daily.

The full report is here.

1966 - it was't all about football - the beatles at shea stadium

People think of 1966 in terms of England winning The World Cup, but there were other monumental events also happening. Fans didn't know it then, but this was to be The Beatles last ever concert (apart form the rooftop appearance).
