It's a shame the papers in the UK are mainly right wing and Tory supporting, as this piece from The New York Times should be parroted across our fearless and independent press, but of course that is not going to happen.

high hopes for the cup final
As I am an optimistic, devil may care son of a gun, I'm actually looking forward to today's FA Cup Final between Manchester United and City.
I've had a rare bet for Manchester United to win and Garnacho to score, and am wearing my lucky Eric Cantona 'Sardines' top.
What could possibly go wrong?

The Tom Robinson Band on Revolver 1978-07-15
This takes me back! I used to love The Tom Robinson Band and liked them even more when Tom Robinson put a load of us on the guest list when we didn't have tickets. Obviously before the modern trend of fans having to pay for a meet and greet.
How times have changed.

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!!

T. Rex There Was A Time / Raw Ramp / Electric Boogie (Get it On 'B' Side)
This was only the 'B' Side of the T. Rex 'Get it On' single. Talk about getting your money's worth.

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!!

unwise - not illegal
As the Philip Schofield saga drags on and on (and on), remember - It was unwise, not illegal.
More examples.
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.

Ike's in the credits and in the promo, but had bugger all to do with the song.
the beautiful imagery of lego lost at sea
I've posted some of this stuff before, but it's worth repeating. One persons junk and lost or discarded items are transformed into another's beautiful creation. I'd stick these on my wall (if l had any spare room).

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!
