the difference between men and women on a night out

 This made me laugh, as it's funny, yet in my experience, often true.

kenny everett in 1967

At first  I never recognised Kenny Everett in this photograph from 1967. Loved his shows way back in the day.

mark lanegan - sing backwards and weep (and liam gallagher)

Thoroughly enjoyed this Mark Lanegan book, and a main part of the appeal is the honesty about his addictions. Also safe to say he wasn't a fan of Liam Gallagher.

the young brian may of queen

I loved the first few Queen albums, but rapidly lost interest with Hot Space onwards (and plenty of interest just before that album). However, even l may not have recognised the young Brian May from this photograph. he's like a young Salvador Dali.

the last photograph of muhammad ali

For all of us of a certain age who grew up knowing the magnificence of Muhammad Ali, both as a boxer and a human being, this is a very poignant photograph.

a donald trump post that still makes me laugh

Donald Trump getting so annoyed with this post still makes me chuckle every time l see it. Hilarious stuff, and the fact that he is so annoyed about it just makes it sweeter and funnier.



And in other news, it's still about time he was locked up.

they call me the master football predictor (amongst other things)

I did pretty well on my Sky Super 6 predictions yesterday, but if l am correct that today's game is a draw, l will be pissed off, as yesterday was the first time l seriously thought about putting some money on a correct results accumulator, so in a way, l want to be wrong with today's result / game outcome.

even family guy is anti-semitic

Bloody hell!  I've just watching an old episode of Family Guy when l spotted some subliminal anti-semetic placement#.  Who knew this was going on? Certainly not me, and l won't be watching the show again.#   Bastards! The show should be cancelled (again) and all early episodes destroyed.


# It's the octopus

# I will be watching it again, and l'm not anti-semitic

keith haring's dance or die new york city t-shirt

Damn!!  I've still got a couple of these shirts left that l bought many years ago in New York that have been worn a lot, but was looking for a newer version.  Now wish l had bought a load of them at the time and stashed them away unused, like l do with lots of stuff, as they are now 'vintage', and fetching  high prices, even in crappy condition.  Maybe it's also time l stopped wearing the ones l have already and stash them away for future investment. Then again - life's too short (as Keith Harling himself found out), and l still like wearing them, so that's not going to happen.

Our glorious future leader Penny Mordaunt would be so proud (not).  Jeremy Hunt decides standing up to fight isn't such a good idea after all.

time's flying by - engagement alert

It only seems like yesterday when these two little cherubs (my sister's children) were youngsters. In my eyes they stall are, but one now has two children, and the other has just messaged me to say she has got engaged while on holiday in Rhodes. Time certainly flies (as does The Great Pumpkin).

the covid enquiry continues

Despite the fact there has been hardly any mainstream coverage of it, the Covid Enquiry continues, and it is all much worse than expected, despite very low expectations of the Government at the time. Remember - Italy was a few weeks ahead of us and we could see what was happening, so there should be no excuses. It will also be even worse if we ever get to see Boris Johnson's WhatsApp messages (or Rishi Sunak's).

never vote tory part 647657537 andrew cooper (with added penny mordaunt)

Andrew Cooper, the Conservative candidate for  the upcoming Tamworth by election, has posted this. Basically, if you are not working (which let's face it, could be for any reason), and can't afford to feed your children,  you can 'fuck off'. The caring face of The Conservatives shown yet again, while Rishi Sunak has refused to condemn it, and his spokesman has said it shows the Conservatives are on the side of working families.

Never vote Tory.


Plus l knew l'd seen this pose by Penny Mordaunt before
