a simple error purchasing 'mad' books
As a fan of 'Mad' magazine, I bought a couple of 'Mad' books from the local charity shop today (as you do) but actually thought l'd bought three. You can see how l was deceived by the spines in the photos below, as l grabbed the third one in error off the shelves without even looking at the front. Damn! That's 50p of my hard earned money l won't be seeing again.

newcastle mayfair
Apart from the original Riverside, Newcastle Mayfair used to be the best rock venue in Newcastle. Sadly long gone, demolished in 1999 for a leisure complex.

soap tv series
Possibly the greatest American series ever, certainly up there with MASH, Cheers, Bilko etc.

trump's ear has healed well
I'm not a believer in most conspiracies but for a man who's had a high velocity bullet hit his ear in an 'assassination attempt', the ear has heled remarkably, without even a scratch.

the washington cherry trees have been cut down
Cherry trees in Washington that were gifted to the American people by Japan in 1912 have been cut down by Trump, despite this violating a court order. Another example of what happens when you are never held to account for anything by your spineless sycophants.

venezuala protests against the usa oil 'deal'.
Exactly. This isn't a deal, it's theft, and the news outlets that report it as a deal should hang their heads in shame.

scotton social club, catterick
One of my local pubs that l frequent very rarely. What a bunch of rogues and reprobates. Relax ladies, half of them are married.

ron and cassie desantis are crooks who should be locked up
Imagine if l had taken $10 million dollars from the charity l worked for and laundered it for my own political ads. I suspect l would not be sitting at home typing this, but so many of these rich people face hardly any consequences. Justice is meant to be blind my arse.

more deranged news items from the telegraph
More derangement from The Telegraph, encouraging people not to buy China's 'fake' Range Rovers as you'll be 'Betraying Britain'. Who owns the real Range Rovers? Tata motors, an Indian company. Our right wing press is a joke. No wonder l drink.

'we're not some 13 year old girl on epstein island' comeback
What a response! Well played. Very well played indeed, and this should become a standard response to Trump's ever more deranged statements.

the kennedy centre at risk of demolition cartoon
The Kennedy Centre being at risk of demolition by Trump because he can't get his own way regarding renaming it in his name. This is what America has become. A fascist Mafia dictatorship controlled by a lying, racist child rapist. Remember next time you get a chance to vote (in any country), not all politicians are the same.

congressman ted lieu - 'trump raped children'
Isn't it strange how there are no lawsuits flying Ted Lieu's way from the normally very litigious Donald Trump?

phobos and a sunset as seen from the surface of mars (and glastonbury).
A reminder that we are the only humans in history to have witnessed this. Progress and technology is mind blowing, and yet America has a lying fascist child rapist as president and the far right is gaining hold again across Europe and South America, ignoring the lessons from the 1930's. What a time to be alive.
Meanwhile, at Glastonbury...

yum yum - rum punch ice lollies recipe from benjamina ebuehi
Now this is a newspaper article that speaks directly to me (From The Guardian). Rum Punch ice lollies, and if the weather picks up next week l will be making some and very slowly getting drunk in the garden while reading in the sunshine. Fingers crossed!

A few rum characters in the pub yesterday evening, apparently celebrating one of them being 70.

israel targeting children with kites cartoon
It might be funny if it wasn't true. Israel have stated if Palestinian children are flying a kite the kites will be treated as weapons. And l don't believe that Palestine Action activists are terrorists. I'm old enough to have lived through the IRA Bombings, and old people holding up signs against genocide should not be arrested in a free country.
