open mouthed penguin

Here's something you don't usually see.  A photograph (Don't know who by) of a penguin with it's mouth open.

It's strangely fascinating (and scary).

 The state of modern Britain.  I would bet my house he voted for Brexit and The Tories.  The badly dressed piss stained illiterate lump of congealed lard.

Never vote Tory.

the goosestepping march towards fascism continues

I'm 100% behind Gary Lineker, and sod the Conservative party complaining about the BBC and their so called impartiality rules against employees (Despite the current BBC chair Richard Sharp obtaining an £800,000 loan for Boris Johnson before being selected). They never object if the BBC are supporting their policies, such as Andrew Neil from their politics show tweeting right wing views, and there wasn't anything like this when Danny Dyer had a go at David Cameron, but l think Lineker has hit a nerve.  Sadly and callously, it's also a wedge politics distraction from the policies they are trying to push through. Once again, the Tories can just fuck off, although you have to admire the way they managed to find in Suella Braverman someone more poisonous than Priti Patel.

Never vote Tory

another big day today - man utd v liverpool

It's Manchester United versus Liverpool again today, for me, is the biggest game of the season in the league.  I had tickets for Will Sheff from Okkervil River at Leeds tonight, but gave them away, as the football is more important, and I hadn't realised the events clashed (and l've got work in the morning which l couldn't get out of).  Let's hope it's a good result, or l will be mightily pissed off.

Here's a reup of some of my old programmes.

johnny depp goes shopping

Johnny Depp has been out and about, shopping at Hemswell's Antique shop in Lincolnshire. All well and good, and he is obviously approachable. But what the fuck is he dressed like? Fair enough if he has just been doing a bit of painting or is on his way home after a three day bender, but he always used to be so cool and stylish, and this sartorial aberration is becoming a regular occurrence.

I blame The Tories.

john taylor is nearly my doppelganger

Rather like me, John Taylor is an outrageously handsome and intelligent man of taste and varied interests.  Unlike me, he's a man of wealth and taste, which make a huge difference.

dortmund beer

A reason why the fan experience of going to football in Germany is better.  As well as being much cheaper to get in, you can also buy 6 beers for 14 Euros, and get a handy device to carry them in.

One of them each half and you're sorted!

understanding polari

Your handy guide to understanding Polari, from the Julian and Sandy lp, which is nowadays much sought after.
For those that don't know, they were characters in the 'Round the Horne' radio series, and very funny they were too (as was the whole show).
If you want to listen to the album, it can be found here.
Enjoy!
