mr parrot - good and bad boy

Treated Mr Parrot to a day in the garden while l cut the grass. The little git then repaid me by chewing through the packaging of my drill box, while looking at it as though he was completely innocent.

Little git.

the non existent uk / usa trade deal

It will come to no-ones surprise that this was all lies and there was no such deal, but duly reported as such by the client newspapers. They have now admitted they have given up all hope of a deal.

The most corrupt government l have ever known (and l'm old!).

Never vote Tory.

the daily mail blames the lib dems

Bunch of Bastards!!  The Liberal Democrats have been in charge for less than a month in Woking.  The overspending was by the previous Conservatives in power, but why let the facts get in the way when you can appropriate blame on a party The Mail does not support.

Twats!!

the 1986 princes trust line up

At the time of the Princes Trust in 1986, l thought most of these were old bastards and way past their best.  Second part of that statement was definitely true with some of them, but looking at their ages now they certainly don't seem so old.

our glorious leader meets the public

Our glorious leader Rishi Sunak out and about meeting the great British public, exuding his natural charm, charisma and Bon Homie.  Feast your eyes upon the publics faces and body language.  What a smooth operator he is. I just wish l had been there. Truly a giant of the political world who understands and is at peace with the titans of industry and the lowly workers. What a colossus of a man.

Vote Tory!!

GB Bastard News - not a News Channel

 GB Bastard News congratulating itself as a favourite news outlet (according to 45,000 people). 

It's a pity that Ofcom can't see that a channel with News in it's title, with lots of news shows on which it prides itself, is not subject to news broadcasting regulations as it is not deemed a news channel by them.

If that's justice - l'm a banana.

donald trump should be in jail

There are many reasons l believe Donald Trump should be serving jail time (not that l think he ever will), and l am not alluding to anything with this photograph of Trump, Epstein, and some youngsters, but come on!  I would have been banged up years ago.

the staircase to heaven by strijdom van der merwe

I really like this optical illusion structure. It's called 'Staircase to Heaven,' looks like it's heading upwards at an angle, but is actually flat.  Very deceptive and clever!  It's by South African artist Stijdom Van Der Merwe, and located in Taitung County, Taiwan.  More information about his artwork can be found here.

Ike & Tina Turner - Nutbush City Limits (1973)

Here's some Tina Turner after her sad death today.  Can't say l'm much of a fan of the later blockbusters such as 'Simply The Best', 'I Don't Need Another Hero', 'Private Dancer' etc, although l was pleased she had escaped from Ike and made her fortune. However, l did love her earlier stuff, and would have paid good money to have seen them in about 1971, but even l'm not that old.

french woman living it large - paris 1945

The French - they are different from us.

If l ever end up buggering off somewhere hot and living in a cave by the sea, this French lady from Paris 1945 is demonstrating what my daily sustenance would be.  Six bottles of red wine, and a baguette. l think l could live off that for a while.

Lenny Kravitz by Ciko Dika

An outstanding photograph by Ciko Dika of Lenny Kravitz.  Rock photography at it's best, of a man who knows how to dress and pose like a proper Rock and Roll RockGod. The hair!  The leather keks!  the snakeskin boots! The Flying V Guitar!

Primal Scream - Come Together (Demodelica)

I received the new Primal Scream Demodelica album the other day and am absolutely loving it.  Obviously the Screamadelica album is a classic, but it is great to have all these other demos and alternate versions out there in the ether as well. Reader, l liked it so much l bought the cd version as well, which is money well spent in my eyes. 

Now pass me my drugs, l'm heading back to the turntable.

Rather sadly, l don't have cats anymore and would be unable to have them because of Mr Parrot.  However, if l got another one in the future, they would be dressed like this at every opportunity.

isaac hayes in his floral kitchen

This is a rare photograph that l don't want to see in colour, as l value my eyesight, and thing my retinas would be severely damaged if l did see a colour version.  Isaac Hayes in which l presume is his kitchen, but whoever's kitchen it is, they have gone that extra mile with the floral decoration.

Times and tastes were so much different back in the day.
