joyce mckinney - what a life

Now this is what you call living life to the full. I thought l'd done plenty of weird things, but Joyce McKinney puts me to shame. I bet you would definitely end up in trouble if you went on a night out with her, but my oh my, what a night it would be!.

paul mccartney buying the john lennon dead paper

Not a very cheerful picture, but very poignant. Paul McCartney buying a newspaper or two (I assume) after John Lennon's death. It may be thought of as intrusive, but l'm guessing Linda McCartney (or one of Paul's  family) took it, and it's certainly a historical image, reminding the viewers (as if we needed reminding) of the sad and needless loss of life.

duncan jones and sweet

Love this photograph of David Bowie's son (now called Duncan Jones) holding up a picture of Brian Connelly from Sweet that Duncan put up on his twitter feed.  I assume David Bowie took the picture, but whoever did, l can see why they found it funny.

heinz soup

I'm a big fan of Hein soup, but forgotten there were so many flavours until l saw this picture the other day.  Now of course, l've got a hankering for some of the flavours you no longer see.  Then again, l suppose if l'd bought more of them at the time, they would still be selling them, so it's partly my own fault.

hopefully me this evening

Although it might be great if Boris wins his vote of no confidence tonight and sets off more division in the Tory party, which will benefit Labour, l hope he looses heavily, and this will be me celebrating tonight.

pistol series acid flashback

While l was watching the Danny Boyle Sex Pistols series 'Pistol' on Disney, l thought l might have been experiencing an acid flashback. The main band The Pistols were supporting at St Martin's College (Bazooka Joe), looked uncannily familiar to this frazzled old mind, and so it turned out to be. They included members of Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard, who l have been to see a couple of times very recently, and would highly recommend checking out.

As for the series itself, once you get over the inaccuracies and cartoonish aspect, it's enjoyable enough, and far better than The Great Rock and Roll Swindle.

It's kind of insane that someone can have that much faith in The Lord, and l'd feel a bit sorry for him if he wasn't so self righteous, but come on - who is going to break the news to him?

Someone selling eggs to be thrown at the statue of Margaret Thatcher in Grantham.

It's what she would have wanted. An entrepreneurial money grabbing individual charging lots of money for a cheap product, to exploit the public with the right beliefs.

back to the future's tom wilson's postcard

Tom Wilson who played 'Biff' in the Back to the Future series of films, used to give this postcard out to people who stopped him, saving a lot of time (I'd imagine). Despite not being a massive fan of the films, l'd still like one of these (to go with the rest of my crap).

t.rex - remember the first time

I've recently bought and been enjoying the Marc Bolan and T.Rex box sets (The new 1972 one, and the Electric Boogie 1971 collection) and it reminded me of the cartoon below, as that was certainly me when l was a kid, playing Electric Warrior constantly when l first got it.  Bliss.

no money

 Look at this picture and remember it when the Tories try to tell us poor deluded saps that there is not enough money to help the poor or those in need, while writing off billions of PPE fraud.  Meanwhile, a Tory Lords home has just been raided and she is under investigation for more (Moore?) PPE fraud, not that it is being featured in the news.

Also, included in the Queens speech is the fact the Tories are trying to continue destroying our rights, as their bid to become a one party fascist state marches on

Makes you proud to be English (not).

David Davis and Krishnan Guru-Murthy

This is the sort of questioning that makes Nadine Dorries want to destroy Channel 4


the daily mail and nadine norries' new lows and incompitence

A picture and statement put out by Nadine Dorries trying to implement Sir Keir Starmer in a party (plus food) scandal to deflect from the Tories many lockdown party's rule breaking. How you ask?  By using an old photograph from 2019.  She is meant to be on top of media and disinformation as part of her job remit, and once again shows she is not interested in the truth or what is right, just what will try to score points and curry (see what l did there) favour with her superiors in a desperate attempt to keep her job. As for the non dom Viscount Rothemere's Daily Mail, they are beyond a joke or parody, as they are so obviously a right wing propogandist rag  supporting the government without any concept of printing the truth..  The sad thing is, the delightful Nutty Norries also wants to destroy Chanel 4, despite a poll the government wanted showing 96 percent of responders wanted it leaving as it was. Obviously noting to do with the Tories being given a hard time by its presenters when they are caught out lying on multiple occasions.

Fair play to the Tory MP John Nicolson for having the guts to call it out.

13 years of labour

 A rundown of what the Labour government achieved in 13 years between 1997 and 2010.  The Conservatives have been in power for 12 years since then, and have done what?  Got Brexit done?  Hardly a rip roaring success. As for Iraq, it certainly looks like a mistake, and all governments can make them, and can be economical with the truth (playing down blatant lying here) to achieve their aims, but the current mob of self serving charlatans are taking things to a level never seen before, while also chipping away at democracy. Bastards!!
