the russian coup is underway
It looks the Russian military coup, led by Yevgeny Prigozhin and the Wagner Group, is taking hold, and at the moment, looks like they are heading towards Moscow. President Putin must be crapping himself that his days of power may be coming to a end, but let's hope it does not get too nasty, with other countries getting involved. Today is going to be pretty newsworthy, as l hazard a guess that a lot of the normal conscripted Russian soldiers won't want to fight the Wagner group, and may well join them.
Who could have possibly predicted that a psychopath in charge of ex criminals might turn on it's supposed master?
Watch this space.

witch hunter romps home
I was in my local pub last night and all the people l was with (apart from myself and another lad) had a bet on Witch Hunter at Royal Ascot, as it was such an outsider. Some of them managed to get bets on at 100/1, while the lowest was 50/1. It then romped home to everyone's delight. Apart from me of course.
Bitter? Me? Of course not.
Bastards!!!!

the brexit question time
Last night's BBC Question time was made up with an audience who all voted for Brexit, and no-one prepared to come forward from the government to defend it on the panel. I agree with Alastair Campbell that people were lied to, but these ignorant, racist, small minded fuckers, are the reason l have had to put up with the consequences of Brexit, so as far as l am concerned, they got what they voted for, and l hope they are all suffering for their idiotic actions and viewpoints. Just look at this audience. That would be a nightmare night out at the pub. Fuck them all (not that l'm bitter or anything).

Our glorious leader woos the crowds yet again. I bet it took some persuading (or threats) to get those people to sit and listen.

spiders are out to get me
I nearly walked into this beast the other day, first thing in the morning. It's not on the door, it's hanging down from the ceiling. To say it made me jump is an understatement, but l certainly woke up pretty damn fast.
It has since ceased to be. It is an ex spider.

th conservative's jingle mingle
Remember, according to Boris Johnson and the government, there were no parties. There were however, invites to them, people mingling, drinking, dancing, and taking the piss out of the general public for following the rules.
Never forget, and never vote Tory.

This is Keith Richards at the reception at Mick and Bianca's wedding reception in St Tropez, 1971. This is also what living life to the full looks like. How the hell is he still alive?

bob dylan has got talent
It's not enough for Bob Dylan to be the singer / songwriter of his generation, an excellent radio show host, and a welder to boot, but he can also paint. This is one of his works.

the history of rock magazine #72
I've been reading some articles on Glam Rock in the last few days (as you do) and dug out The History of Rock magazine on the subject. Looking back, l bet they wished they had gone with a different cover, and nowadays, so do I. I feel like a pervert just for leaving it lying around in my own home.
Jacob Lusk - Lord Don’t Move the Mountain (Later with Jools Holland)
Now this is what you call singing with emotion. Poor Kelly Jones and his new venture 'Far From Saints' had to follow this, and much as l like Kelly Jones, he's no match for this.

book mix up - david beckham versus the good soldier svejk
This David Beckham Joke Book arrived today, and as l had not ordered it, l thought it may be a prank from a mate. However.....
On checking what l have been ordering, l discovered it was sent in error (now resolved), instead of The Good Soldier Svejk, by Jaroslav Hasek (seen below). A bit of a difference, that's for sure, and despite being a Manchester United fan, l'd rather read about the good soldier than jokes about Becks.

Tom Butchart - Sound it Out Records RIP
Another good lad gone way too young. I only found out today that Tom Butchart from Sound it Out record shop in Stockton had a heart attack in the store and died on the 9th June at the much too young age of 50. I only knew him slightly from the shop, where he sold me such favourites as Bob Dylan's Blood on the Tracks Test Pressing, but condolences to his family and friends. A sad loss for those close to him and the larger music community in the area.

mr parrot destroys the jack daniels birthday box
What a little cutie he is! I can't leave anything lying about.
recent books
As I'm trying to cut back on the clutter in the house, l've started getting rid of books that l have just read, unless they are favourites or ones l do want to keep, for sentimental reasons, or to read again. These are the ones l have read recently that are going.
The Ian McEwan one l only realised l'd already read it with about three chapters to go. I did think a part of the plot seemed pretty familiar, but it was also something l thought l may have read in another book. Saying that, l do read a lot, and probably read it when it was released, so a mere 25 years ago.

official - boris johnson is a liar
The most unsurprising news of the year, and the most unsurprising newspaper front pages.
Rather sadly and totally predictably, this also applies to the right wing Johnson mouthpiece, The Mail.
Remember. While Johnson repeatedly lied about parties, repeatedly broke lockdown rules that he had made, and repeatedly mislead (lied to) parliament, people were dying and not being able to comfort loved ones. The full report is here, Also remember, the journalists who are calling out Johnson for being a liar now, should have been doing it a long time ago. They're just as responsible. The police security at Downing Street must also have known about the parties, or they are pretty crap at their job. All complicit.
But of course the toady sycophantic right wig press have another view.

takeaway success and failure
Rather rarely for me, last week l decided to get a takeaway from one of our local Gurkha Takeaways (little Buddha). I asked for something that would taste like a Chicken Korma, and it was excellent. However, when asked if l wanted chips or rice, l opted for the rice, as l thought I'd have too much food with chips as well. Unfortunately, I discovered afterwards the rice cost £5, l ended up not eating it, and also discovered you shouldn't keep it and reheat it for longer than a day, so it was wasted.
There was a lot of it though, and probably an excellent meal by itself if you happen to like rice.

silvio berlusconi is dead
Good riddance to the old fascist. He won't be missed in this household.
the past master at eton college's letter in the times
An honest assessment by John Claughton, a former master at Eton College, but l would argue that the pupils attending Eton are already privileged and have a sense of self entitlement inbred into their psyche, that no schooling is going to address. I'd abolish all public schools, so everyone can have the same kind of education. Then we'd see more money pumped into the system and also be able to highlight how thick some of these privileged knobheads are, and the fact that they are classed as charities is a fucking joke.
