I'm more than aware of all the air traffic chaos going on at the moment, especially as close friends have just been stuck at Heathrow for 36 hours after returning from The USA. However, l really could not give one flying fuck about this. Cue the worlds smallest violin.

Way back in the day, I bought the Van Halen debut album that this poster was given away with. I loved the album (Still do) and thought David Lee Roth was one of the most charismatic and athletic frontmen in rock, summed up perfectly by the poster. I didn't know at the time that he broke his right foot by catching the mike stand on his landing.
Still looked cool though.
I'm well aware of the rising costs of vinyl albums these days, and know there are a lot of chancers out there trying to take advantage of the market, but this is just taking the piss. It's two copies of an old album l want - The Rolling Stones bootleg 'Welcome to New York', available at the moment on eBay. I'm going to keep on looking and am prepared to wait for a (much) cheaper one.
Obviously l already have it on CD and recent vinyl copies with different covers, but that's not the point. I want this album with the William Stout cover.
I am a very sad man.
These women are all world famous yet no-one knows their names. Etched onto mostly male memories from 1986 onwards. Once seen, never forgotten.

As a follow on from the post here from yesterday regarding abolishing environment standards to benefit property developers, non of the below will come as a surprise.

This looks like it's something out of a horror film, but it's from a Harpy eagle nest. Photograph is by Alexander Blanco.
Me in the pub thinking of another witticism while other people are trying to have a sensible conversation.
It's not my photograph, and l don't know who took it, but sometimes the shot is timed just right.
Colour me impressed.
I wonder what attracted the beautiful young lady to a man 60 years her senior who laid down so many rules, and surely (don't call me Shirley) they've missed out on a 'Hard of Hearing' joke.
At least he's permanently stiff now. It's what he would have wanted.
The old First Division Football prices from 1981. When ordinary working class fans including kids could easily afford tickets. Those days have long gone.
Just what we need. More crap in our already shit ridden rivers, lakes and seas. Nothing to do with the Government receiving approximately 20% of their funding from property developers, and private water companies paying millions to shareholders while doing fuck all about the pollution. Watch the property developers share prices go up as the governments mates make loads of money (again).

A man (Andrew Pierce) who likes to be known as Tory Boy Pierce complaining about nothing working in broken chaos ridden Britain. Oh the hilarious irony of it, and complete lack of self awareness.
Never vote Tory..
Private firms being money grabbing bastards as usual.
Never vote Tory.
As part of my work, l assist new starters with their inductions and training. Looking at one of our new workers training last week, the answer given to this made me laugh out loud, and l was alone at the time (and no, it is not made up for humorous purposes here).
It's logical I suppose, and excuse the bad photo.
I understand the cricket reference Piers Morgan was using here, and have used it myself, but he was caught out beautifully. Well played, very well played.
I'm very interested in AI and how the future is going to dramatically change, and have pre-ordered the upcoming Mustafa Suleyman book above, and looking forward to reading (and trying to understand) it. In the meantime, l've tried out the AI Pi bot, and it's impressive. Here's part of my first conversation with it.
Impressive stuff isn't it, and that's said without any connection to the programme or sponsorship deals. Society is going to be changing pretty damn quickly, and you can't prevent this kind of progress, but unfortunately, this can also be fraught with danger, especially in the job market.

This is very stupid and childish, but made me laugh out loud, so obviously appeals to my idiotic sense of humour.
While I've been away, I still remembered the important stuff.
I've been busy and also got bleeding Covid again (I think it's the fifth time), so not been up to date recently, but have loads of recent posts which l never got round to uploading, so look out for the upcoming deluge.
In the meantime, l was meant to meet my old mat Yevgeny Prigozhin in the pub yesterday, but he never showed up. I'm baffled, he's normally so trustworthy, so l don't understand what's happened.

Once again, earlier today, our glorious leader Rishi Sunak woos the great British public.

On todays new they said summer should return to the UK next Thursday. On checking the BBC Weather forecast online, l'd better not build my hopes up, as it looks like it's only for one day!
What a bummer.

While l was happily minding my own business watching the pretty damn good 'Poker Face' series, l was rudely dragged back into the real world when l saw Rocker, one of my old mates make an appearance. Have to admit that unlike me, he's aged a bit.
Any resemblance to Nick Nolte is purely coincidental

A would bet a tidy sum that Sinead O'Connor performed many acts of altruism and kept them quiet.
One of my most memorable school lessons was when an English teacher bought in various newspapers to explain the difference in their reporting, especially around political issues. Here's a fine recent example.
With British Gas announcing eye watering profits, a reminder of who sells of the family jewels to their rich mates whenever they get the chance. Keep an eye out and fight to retain the NHS as that's been on the Conservative agenda for a while, hence the present running down of it.
Never vote Tory.
