Booze, news and views from a drunken opinionated fool who can't spell very well, may well repeat himself, and can't blame it on dislexia

TREX cooking
The TREXtasy one is from 1937, but the top advert was familiar to anyone around in the 1970's.
I can't comment on what it was like to cook with this stuff, but the T.Rex band sure meant a hell of a lot more to me.

rwanda trips booked
I will make this easy for everyone. The landlord and wife are racist, and our Home Secretary, despite the fact she is black, is supporting them, because she is currently stirring up as much racial hatred as she can, to polarise and deflect.
Send all three to Rwanda, and never vote Tory.

meanwhile, in south west norfolk
This fucking country. We're talking about Liz Truss here, the woman who broke the economy, and after 13 years of the Tories wrecking everything. What more do the fuckers have to do to stop these twats voting for them? It's just as bad in Richmondshire (where l live), a safe seat for Rishi Sunak. No wonder politics annoys me.

bloody ticket prices nowadays
Then l had a look at some of the prices, and quickly changed my mind.

carl cox - music is revolution
I still wouldn't mind a t-shirt with this printed on. A Carl Cox 'Music is Revolution' poster l nicked in Ibiza. One day l may get around to doing it myself (but l doubt it).
north park, bootle 1947
My relatives may well be in this picture, as they were alive at the time and only lived round the corner from here, and l spent many happy days here myself many moons ago. The rather wonderful North Park in Bootle.

a great response from ellie goulding regarding mars bars
Ellie Goulding - straight to the point with minimum fuss regarding Mars bars. However, it's a pretty minor rumour (or insult) compared to Marianne Faithfull and a Mars bar, which she then had to tolerate for years.
all hail keith richards
Once again, time to praise and acknowledge Mr Keith Richards, who rather like myself, appears to be indestructible, and at one time (with some help from Mick), was very very cool.
Remember - in front of a judge and about to be sent to prison, he famously stated "We're not old men, we're not worried about petty morals". That takes guts.
tory corruption #784 - scott benton and voter suppression
Surprised Scott Benton was caught out? You obviously didn't spot him at Aintree, Wimbledon and the Euros, with his tickets provided by the gaming / gambling industry. Despite the fact that he is chairman of the all party parliamentary group for betting and gaming, which he's meant to be overseeing.
Never vote Tory

labour stooping as low as the tories
As anyone reading this blog would have easily guessed, l despise the Conservatives and pretty much all they stand for, but Labour have stooped to a low point with this kind of electioneering. The last thing they should be doing is competing with the Tories for the populist separatist market in this way, as it will only tarnish their own brand and message. It's a short-sighted attack which could have long term consequences, and should be removed.

ashamed of being tories
No mention of being Conservatives. Even they know it's not a good idea to publicise it when they are after your votes.

nudity is strickly forbiden
I only wish l had seen this sign earlier, and perhaps l wouldn't have been banned.
Plus, shouldn't it be spelt 'strictly'?
nigel lawson has died
As someone who remembers his policies working with Margaret Thatcher, and had to live through the consequences, l hope he has joined her in whatever hellish afterlife she was sent to. However, if Nigella wishes to call around and persuade me otherwise, l may change my opinion.

the beatles norwegian singles
Yes please!!! I'd like all of these, but l also don't want to start collecting something else such as foreign releases of singles, as l would definitely need a larger house and a lot more money. They do look very nice though, and l am currently salivating (a wonderful image for all and sundry).

a grooming reminder
While the Tories continue their racist rhetoric, a gentle reminder that they are (as usual) talking crap, backed by their own Home Office investigation.
Never vote Tory.
T.A.F 4-2-4 Football game
Thinking about football games after the post below - here's some adverts for my favourite one from when l was a kid. T.A.F 4--2-4 Football Game, which to me at least, was so much better than Subbuteo, as it involved some tactics, thinking ahead, and you could do more with the players. Later rebranded as Grand Slam and Premier Football.
Obviously l have the original version, signed by the inventor - Tom Waterman.
