Galton and Simpson, knocking out top quality scripts for Tony Hancock week after week, until he foolishly ditched them. Hancock then went downhill, while they went on to write Steptoe and Son.

the second melania film has just dropped
The second Melania film has just dropped, this time with a more realistic marketing campaign.

I foolishly thought l'd had an interesting life
Christ on a bike. This woman makes me look like Cliff Richards when l'm trying to emulate the great God Keith. Looks like l'll have to up my game.

type 1 diabetes poster
A great idea for a poster, but l read it as l was about to put the kettle on before going for a piss, after just having woke up from a short nap. Luckily l'm not losing weight so everything is still hunky dory, and l'm still indestructible.

ukranian cat and dog rescued from the front line
In need a feel good story amongst all the ongoing and unrelenting madness? This Ukrainian cat and dog were rescued from the front line in Ukraine and bought back to safety by drone. And don't they look relieved. Look for the joy and goodness amongst the crap. It's what gives you hope.

want to own a town (in queensland)
If it wasn't for the spiders and flies, l'd be up for this.

things need to change
I couldn't agree more, but this is assuming The Democrats get the numbers, and there are elections in the first place (and Trump hasn't started WW3).

how trump took america to war with iran - the nyt
Some excellent reporting and inside knowledge from The New York Times. Obviously anyone in their right mind knew Trump (in this case) was being led by Benjamin Netanyahu rather than Putin, but JD Vance as the voice of reason? That's how fucked up things are at the moment. Full story is here.

more feel good news from nasa
NASA are doing all the heavy lifting at the moment to make us feel better about humanity and what can be achieved in the right hands. Another excellent photograph, and the first ship to ship communication in space. Well played.

iran's 10 point peace deal
If Trump ends hostilities and agrees to even half of these demands (which l hope he does), it would have been a catastrophic decision to go to war. Unfortunately, l don't think Netanyahu will agree and he will be trying to influence Trump to reject the deal, as he's been wanting to attach Iran (and Lebanon) for decades. Let's not forget America and Iran already had a peace deal which was much more favorable under Obama, which Trump refused to continue. Remove the kiddie rapist ASAP.

The world's still here (for now) and Glastonbury Tor was looking pretty good this morning.

This is very good indeed, but unfortunately l don't know who did it.

todd blanche - conflict of interest? Of course not
An impartial Attorney General? Forget it America. These sycophantic idiots are a huge part of the problem in America, and why Trump is still in power. How they can look themselves in the mirror every morning or justify this to their children is beyond me.

alexa - show me hypocrisy
Let's face it, JD Vance has sold his soul, and like Trump, is assisting Russia. What a time to be alive. I blame God.

george orwell and his nanny
Here's a photograph of George Orwell with his nanny in India. There's an interesting article by Raoul Peck about how George Orwell's relationship with his nanny when he was a child affected his outlook on life and how modern manipulation of the news and doublespeak is taking place and shaping our view of events in the present, which l highly recommend. My friends say l'm the least racist person they know (what an accolade!) but as a child l lived in Kenya and Singapore (as well as other places) so grew up among different races and cultures. Plus l'm from Liverpool and it's in our blood. From The Byline Times - here.
Toodle pip
only 50? we are screwed
Just because the threatened war crimes and the destruction of a country has been put off for two weeks (but who knows with Trump) does not alter the fact he should be removed before we all suffer (even more). All Democrats and any sensible Republican left should be behind this.

ben shapiro and pete hegseth - it's supported by god ffs (plus ben rhodes)
Ben Shapiro here justifying wiping out Iran because it's 'supported in The Bible.' I think he's skipped the parts about turning the other cheek, loving your enemies, he who casts the first stone etc and don't get me started on Pete Hegseth who thinks this is all bringing on The Apocalypse and reads from The Bible before war briefings. These dangerous knobheads are shaping the whole worlds future and should be called out for the idiots they are. Then again, they think they know more than The Pope, so who are they going to listen to apart from Trump.
Meanwhile, listen to someone who knows what he's on about.

The apocalypse has been suspended for now, but at some stage this is how l will be found years after the event.

marianne faithfull's white sunglasses
I remember having a white pair of sunglasses similar to these which l lost on a wild night out in Amsterdam. I'm still gutted about the loss and have been keeping looking for another pair ever since (very slowly and half heartedly). Marianne Faithfull looks better in hers but she was younger than me when she wore these. That's my excuse and l'm sticking to it.

remove trump before it's too late
Trump has backed down again but the threat from him and his madness remains. He needs to be removed before he actually acts on one of his mad pronouncements and puts the whole world in danger.
