yet more white house madness - texting war plans

In any other administration, heads would be rolling for these incompetent buffoons, but it seems no-one is accountable for anything under Donald Trump's leadership, which is a very bad thing indeed.

Here's a rather camp Gary Cooper in 'The Texan' from 1930. You don't get many cowboys looking like this any more, which personally, l think is a bad thing.

I've been past the Brick Train many times, but this is the first time l've seen it from above, and l'm impressed.  Created in 1997 by David Mach, and based on The Mallard steam locomotive.

the statue of liberty in paris

I'm a man of the world, pretty bright, and have been to Paris on many occasions, and been up The Eiffel Tower a few times, but l never realised there was a Statue of Liberty there as well as in New York, even if it is only a quarter of the size. How on Earth did l not know or spot it? My flabber is well and truly gasted, but, as they say, every day is a learning day.

caeless people - sarah wynn-williams

I've been reading Careless People over the last couple of days and it is certainly eye opening, but not in a good way as far as Facebook / Meta are concerned, which is why they have been trying to ban it and prevent it's promotion.  Highly recommended, and only £12.50 in Tesco's!.

john cusack's not holding back

I've got a lot of admiration for John Cusack as an actor, but l've more respect for him the way he's not afraid to call out the twats currently torching all that was good about America. We need a lot more people prepared too speak out like him, and highlight the madness and power grab for what it is, before it is too late.

penelope keith assassinated jfk

Russell Brand, who rather sadly has gone a bit bonkers over the last few years, is currently sharing a spoof version of the JFK files, which he obviously hasn't read, as they say Penelope Keith (Margo from  'The Good Life') was the assassin. Just when you think the world can't get much crazier.

darlington record fair

I'd only been awake about 10 minutes (it was 11:55) when a mate texted to let me know that there was a record fair in Darlington.  Half an hour later l'm there, and an hour or so later l've spent £150. An excellent days shopping. I also love the poster for it.
