who's side is donald trump on?
Nothing to see here. Just a delegation to Russia (but not Ukraine for their 35 year celebrations) and posting photographs of himself with an enemy of the USA. We all know what side he's on, and it's not Americas.
my cds still need sorting out
Some of my CDs in the spare room. I'm still slowly sorting them out but this is only about half of the collection, as l also have them in other rooms. What's holding me back? Sheer laziness and yet a keen interest in other things that occupy my time culture wise.

where l was on this day in 1977 - reading festival
My first festival, I hitch hiked there and back, and it was very very muddy. The highlights for me were Aerosmith (who l recorded) and The Sensational Alex Harvey Band, who l loved and still love. Best of the rest? Eddie and the Hot Rods, Lone Star and Thin Lizzy. Tickets £7.50!

rupert lowe propaganda in the area!
This pile of crap was put through my letter box by someone who obviously does not know my views, otherwise there would have been a firm and frank 'discussion' on the doorstep had encountered the leafleteer.

paranoid? even the signs are after me
I'll admit drink had been taken, but walking home from the pub the other night l thought for a second or two that this was a person. I guess you had to be there to get the full effect.

the new spider-man verus jake lang is better than the new movie
What a time to be alive. Witnessing a real life Spider-Man beat the crap out of the far right Jake Lang. I'm certainly looking forward to the new comic books.
shaun ryder is 64
How Shaun Ryder has made it to 64 is anyone's guess, but l guess, like me (and Keef), he's indestructible.

barbara eden is 95
Ahhhh. Barbara Eden is 95 today. My first crush, although l had no idea what it meant at the time. I used to love 'I dream of Jeannie' but she did set unrealistic standards for my future girlfriends, as I expected them to be beautiful, madly in love with me (whatever l did) and also able to perform magic to get me out of difficult situations. What can l say? I was let down. I blame God.

the richmond car boot sale and a scratch on the car
I dragged myself out of bed this morning (10:30) and went through to Richmond to see if there was anything worth buying at the car boot sale that was being held at the school. I bought a couple of albums (Icehouse and The Psychedelic Furs - £5 each). I then went to the local charity shop and bought another couple (Greg Khin and The Shoes - £1 each). I know this is riveting stuff, but anywhoos, l then bought some food and while shopping an announcement came over the tanoy looking for the driver of a car. They read out a registration that l didn't recognise, then the car make, which I did, as it was mine. On investigation, someone had forgotten to put their hand brake on so their car had rolled into mine, As l was told in the shop that mine had been crashed into, l was expecting the worst, but there was only some minor scratches on the back. The driver was really apologetic about his mistake, and I said l wasn't worried and to forget about it, but he insisted on giving me £20 for some drinks, which l eventually accepted, and therefore the records and food turned out to a freebie. Result! It's all go around these parts.
Richmond looking busy first thing this morning. From Facebook (before l got there).
democrats cooperating with trump talks
What the fuck do The Democrats want to cooperate with Trump about. They should be staying as far away as possible from the fascist lying corrupt kiddie rapist and shouting from the rooftops about how far away and different they are.

modern football is crap part 230840357347649643
Apart from the fact Manchester United were beaten by Hull yesterday, which in itself makes this season crap already, one of the annoyances of modern football is the blatant cheating which goes unpunished. As one example, Match of the Day this evening showed lots of grappling in the penalty area when corners were taken, which not only did not result in penalties, they did not even get commented on. Here's one example from the Manchester City game, where the defender is not even trying to look for the ball, and has both arms wrapped around Erling Haaland. I know l'm like Grandpa Simpson shouting at clouds, but this irritates me sooooo much!

another lying teeside poster
Once again, l like Teeside and go out there a lot, but this poster makes it look incredible, which will be a massive shock to anyone who travels to Teeside for the first time after seeing this.

marc bolan's groin gets censored
I was kind of half watching a documentary about Billy Idol, and l naturally perked up when Marc Bolan was mentioned and paid close attention. Possibly too close attention, as l spotted that this photograph from 'The Marc Show' had been pixilated around the groin area, so you can no longer spot which way Marc dresses. It's an outrage, and l will be writing to my local MP to complain (and l'm not even gay).
