neil patrick harris's harlem home for sale

If l win the lottery, this is the sort of home l would like.  I'd prefer it to be in the Greenwich Village area of Manhattan, rather than Harlem, although l do love the Harlem area as well, especially a certain bar just up from The Apollo Theatre (If it's still open). Neil Patrick Harris's Harlem home is for sale for a mere $7.5 million, which is a bit too much for me at the moment, but l live in hope. 

At least l've got a couple of the same posters as he has, so that's a start, and l love the fact there's a secret room to which access is gained by pressing on a magician's eye on a poster. 

The photo's of the home below are from Realator.com, and the information about it is from here.

nothing dodgy going on here

This is old new from The Times, but even so - nothing dodgy going on here.

In unrelated news, they are currently trying to get the home owners  to pay for safe cladding and the removal of the dangerous old cladding.

emma raducanu the english champion

It's an amazing acievement for Emma Raducanu, winning the US open as a qualifier, and all the English news outlets are gushing about what a great English victory this is. Remember, she was born in Canada, and has Romanian and Chinese parents, moving to the UK when she was two.

It's a good job the likes of Priti Patel weren't in power, or there's a chance she might have been sent back - or does this only apply to the darker skinned, poorer, would be immigrants who have to risk their lives getting here?

francis rossi in conversation

I went to see Francis Rossi in conversation a week or so ago and it was well worth it, as he certainly likes to talk and knows how to hold a crowds attention. I also managed to nick the promotional poster for it on the way out, so that was an added bonus!  Something else to be stashed away and never looked at again.

tax dirty richard desmond and the express newspapers

 

And the next question is.....how much does Richard Desmond, the owner of The Express newspapers pay in tax?  And don't forget the time Robert Jenrick helped him to avoid paying tax on his housing development because he's a Tory donator.  Corrupt bunch of bastards.

charlie watts at rollingstone.com

This is so very cool, dignified and respectful from The Rolling Stones. 

If you go to their rollingstones.com site at the moment, there are no links to any type of product, just the photograph below.

Pure class.

trump and hitler

 Some great images of Donald Trump and Adolf Hitler looking similar. 

I've always thought Trump (and Boris Johnson) are using the beginners fascist's handbook, and I think it is only going to get worse in the immediate future.  As a wise man once said, progress does not follow a straight line, it sometimes goes back on itself.

covid denier dies of covid

I may well have a dark sense of humour, but l found this news form BBC online hilarious.  Not just a Covid denier dying from it, but believing right to the end his religious faith would protect him rather than science, and therefore didn't have a jab.

The Freak Brothers Official Mini Episode and new series

I'm really looking forward to this Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers series (including Fat Freddie's Cat), which is now ready to go.  I was worried they might make a mess of it as l loved the comic books, but by the mini movies I've seen so far, it looks like they've nailed it.  Hurrah!!

cold war steve celebrates the footie

Just remember  that as England advance and are praised by Priti Patel and Boris Johnson, they said they had no problem with the fans booing the team when the players were taking the knee, and most of the players would not be eligible to play for England if their immigrant families tried to get into the UK under current rules, as they would be denied entry.

A much harder game against Denmark coming up.
