kingfisher dive

What an amazing photograph by Mario Cea Sanchez. Only took six years and 720,000 shots to get it right.

batman and robin - velvet underground style

What can l possibly add to this picture?  The John Cale and Lou Reed pre Velvet Underground days.

never trust the tories part 5674483

A seemingly innocent non political questionnaire, regarding speeding in Hampstead.  Until you get near the end.  Bastards!

islamic castration

 Not  too sure why the guy getting castrated is looking so nonplussed about it. My reaction would be somewhat different.

Love Forever Changes Tour 2022

Just bought my tickets for the upcoming tour. Despite most of them being dead, l'm really looking forward to it, as this is one of the greatest albums of all time, and anyone who disagrees is a fucking idiot.

Now where did l stash my acid??

since fergie left

 Rather sadly, this is very true

don't forget

 

gang of youths at the riverside

Enjoyed The Gang of Youths show at The Riverside last night, but l'm not that keen on the venue.  It's difficult getting a drink, the toilets are upstairs, and you have to squeeze past the crowd to get up there, and you can't see much at the back. Nothing like the original Riverside which was a great little venue, and sadly missed.

sweaty nonce flees england

As we are threatened with nuclear war, the sweaty nonces start to flee. Here's Prince Andrew heading for the airport yesterday (not).

covid tests

I've recently had Covid and was off work for 10 days as l kept testing positive and work with vulnerable people. Luckily it didn't affect me much and l was off with full pay, so all was good with me, but I was still amazed it lasted so long.

Toodle pip

strange bookmarks

I buy a lot of books, and many of them are second hand ones from charity shops. Often there will be old bookmarks and bits of paper left inside, but a recent book had this photograph in it.

I now have loads of questions. Who is it?  Where was it taken?  How long ago?  Who is the cartoon figure? Do they want it back?  Do I look like a pervert if l keep it?  (I keep everything).

I wanted something to relax with and read, not a headache.

I obviously blame the Tories.

Toodle pip

boris on the frontline

Boris on the frontline apparently. That is if the frontline is in Oxfordshire.

What a twat.

things could be worse

Things are certainly bleak at the moment, but at least we're not following Australian fashion from 1975.

 Toodle pip

that aged well

 

two politicians - both twats

Both are comedy B'Stards, but the trouble is, only one of them realises it, and is a piss take. 

Toodle pip
 

two leaders wearing the same kind of clothes

One of these was a comedian who has become a heroic leader, the other is just a clown. Albeit a nasty, racist, lying, money grabbing, privileged, dangerous, authoritarian one.

Rather sadly, the twatish one is our so leader.

Puts on glasses and looks closer.................Crap!!

Great cover though.

looking forward to the trade deal meat from australia

 

the new british rail logo

No doubt millions would have been spent during the design of the new British Rail logo, when any idiot could have probably guessed that they would go with gung ho Union Jack patriotism to go along with our upcoming fascist dictatorship, no doubt to the delight of our current crop of flag bothering buffoons stinking out our parliament.

Yawn.

Well worth taking some time out of your day to watch.  Still relevant (probably more so) now.

l studied philosophy at university........ one of last nights question time idiots

 With an excellent response  from Fiona Bruce to stop him before he rambled on too much

Toodle pip

old festivals and magazines

This is what it used to be like at festivals back in the day. Full of hippies and alternative folk, and not jam packed with upper and middle class day trippers. Obviously in my head l've romanticised what they were like and ignored a lot of he grim elements, such as crappy (in more ways then one) toilet facilities, but l would love to be able to go back in time and buy most of the goodies on offer here. These are the sort of people who first sold me 'The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers', and l've never been the same since.

 This is from 1972, retelling the tale of how Snoopy came to be Charlie Brown's pet.

 Well this hasn't aged that well.  It would be interesting to hear from the winner / winners

energy bills

Shell make outrageous profits and pay dividends to shareholders. Rishi Sunak takes money from councils and offers repayable rebates.

 Meanwhile, in France.....

The Band and The Staples - The Weight (FromThe Last Waltz)

Haven't seen  this for a while but what a great version of a great song. Mavis Staples is the standout singer for me, but all are magnificent.  It's also beautifully filmed - l've got a hunch that this Marin Scorsese fellow might go far.

Toodle pip

it was a work event

 

In related news, here's my works do last night.  Not a party, just a work event

The Quebec anti Jaywalking warning is a bit brutal, but certainly grabs your attention.
