winding a brother up
I can certainly relate to this kind of mischief as l used to send my brother spoof letters from the council, save eggs for a year and then replace his in his fridge etc each April fools day. We had to make our own entertainment back in the olden days.

england's coastal path to be opened
I'm not a walker of coastal paths by any stretch of the imagination, but l am all in favour of this kind of initiative, and may even stroll along small parts of it in the future. Well played to everyone involved. More on the story from The BBC is here.

labour's refugee plans are crap
Labour's refugee plans make me ashamed to be a Labour voter, and it has nothing to do with Socialism and helping people in need. Another foolish (and cruel) policy to try and appease Reform voters while sending Labour voters to the Green party. I despair at the idiocy of it.

grrrrr....more fucking music
I'm a man brimming with curiosity regarding interesting things, including media such as films, books and music. However, there are only so many hours in the day to indulge, so when l see a post from Birmingham 81 about swopping cds with a mate, and the accompanying picture of said cds, it drives me up the wall, as l've not heard of most of the songs or artists, and l won't be able to sleep at night unless l investigate further, as they obviously rate them. Luckily (or unluckily) a The Spotify playlist was provided. Now l just have to find the time to listen to it. Curses all round.
Playlist is here.

me in the pub later giving up drugs
If it's Wednesday and l'm off work, it's time for Wednesday club at one of the locals. This will be me in just over an hour arguing football, politics, music and random crap from old TV shows. I picked a fine time to give up drugs.
amsterdam has museums?
I've been to Amsterdam on numerous occasions but of course because of my wannabee Keith Richards lifestyle, while l have been here l have never even glimpsed Ann Frank's house, The Tulips, or the inside of any museum (apart from a sex one). I must admit though, that the inside of the H'Art Museum does look rather splendid. By the way - l have been to many museums and art galleries over the years in various countries so l'm not a complete philistine, it's just that Amsterdam was always a place for hedonism, and it sure as hell delivered back in the day. I've also thought naked in a Roman Amphitheatre, but that's another story.

the weathermen's place is up for sale
An old post re-upped
With a really corny headline about the apartment exploding onto the market, the place that 'The Weathermen' used as their bomb making factory at 18 West 11 Street, (with the resulting accidental explosion in March 1970 a consequence) is now up for sale through Corcoran brokers for a cool $10.9 million. Dustin Hoffman and his family narrowly escaped the blast, as they lived next door at the time.
The top photograph is me (my arm anyway) pointing at the bear in the window in 2006. This was dressed by Norma Langworthy, who his since passed away at the ripe old age of 92, but hopefully her descendants will keep the tradition going.
How time flies, and how sickening it is how gentrified New York is becoming.

the pub clientele let me down (again)
I finished work this afternoon and as l was tired, rather than watching a bit of tele and falling asleep, l met up at the pub first for a few drinks and 'entertainment' first. Once again however, it let me down.
The type of clientele l was hoping for....
Versus the reality...

another rolling stones album l now need
I'd never seen or heard of the Rolling Stones album until a couple of days ago, but because of the rather splendid photograph of the band on the cover, l now need to find myself a copy. It's not easy being an idiot collector - you've got to put the hours in.
gb news and where the fuck are ofcom?
I know GB 'News' is a Reform station nowadays (even worse than when it started) but what the fuck are Ofcom doing about it? I'll tell you what they are doing - fuck all. This crap shouldn't be broadcast and all the station does is stoke up hate and distrust towards foreigners. 'illegals' and (at the moment) Muslims, who in their eyes are trying to take over the country and will kill all of us whites (The great displacement theory). No wonder l'm always arguing with ill informed dickheads in the pub when they are fed this nonsense 24 hours a day. Close it down.

richard tice - how the papers should look
The second post concerning Richard Tice and his tax avoidance. Can you tell l'm pissed off yet? This is how the newspapers should be reporting it, and also how they would if it was a Labour MP (like Angela Rayner).
Toodle pip
imagine richard tice was a tory
Imagine the outcry if this was a Labour MP. The newspapers would be all over it until they were forced out. Obviously l expect Labour to have higher standards, but even so, the hypocrisy is staggering (but not unexpected).

the daily mail attacking wind farms (again)
It's good to know that as we head into a possible fuel crisis (or possibly World War 3) The Daily Mail have still got their priorities right, banging on again about wind farms, only this time conflating them with our anti missile defense systems. I remember happy days when this sort of headline would have been a spoof on 'The Day Today' or suchlike. What a joke and embarrassment the paper is. Imagine if we had invested heavily years ago and now had complete renewable energy? Heaven forbid the thought.
the ups and downs of watching the football when you're tired - plus when the cranes fly south by lisa ridzen
I finished work just in time to get home and watch the Manchester United game against Aston Villa. I made myself a drink and a toastie at half time, and the promptly fell asleep for over two hours on the settee, as l was pretty tired from reading till silly o'clock the night before (When the cranes fly south by Lisa Ridzen). Anywhoos, the game had an excellent result, and the book was also excellent. Very moving and l'd certainly recommend it apart from the fact I got a bit of dust in my eyes at the end.
Here's me celebrating the United goals.
Compared to me after the game.

wiping my arse with £5 notes
I'm not stinking rich by any means, but l'm prepared to make a sacrifice and stay in more so l can replace my toilet paper with £5 notes if Margaret Thatcher is on them. Not that this will happen of course, it's just the right wing being dickheads again. At ease.

bumble bees playing
If you want something to take your mind off the horror show that is current world events, look no further than the video of bumblebees playing with balls. I'm crap with video links but you may find it here. Enjoy!

a taste of things to come?
Earlier today. Let's hope this is the last time we see an image like this in the Iranian (and surrounding areas) conflict, although apparently it is not a nuclear bomb..
elvis presley was 42 years old when he died
After the well deserved praise for the Elvis film last week from when he was at his peak, l was reminded today that he was only 42 years old when he died. At the time the concerts were certainly erratic, and he was often mocked for them (and his weight) in the press. As far as most people were concerned, no one cared about him, as he was considered to be a has been who was well past it, and an embarrassment to his younger magnificent self, which seemed as though it was decades before, but of course was only a few years previous. He still had 'the voice' but couldn't really move about and sing at the same time, and his records were mostly ignored or vilified until (like John Lennon), after his death. Looking back now, he needed people he could trust to say 'no' to him, and he died way too young. An American tragedy in one way, but Lordy Miss Clawdy, what a life he had.
Article reports are from here.
Plus there were warning signs in 1977.
