large owl wanted
I think if Mr Parrot kicks the bucket, l might have to get myself a large owl. This one looks ideal.
schools falling apart
Schools currently at risk of falling apart. What a time to be alive. Of course this will have nothing to do with the fact when the Tory / Liberal coalition came to power, they cancelled the school building programme. People have short memories.
Never vote Tory

prince andrew and the bbc
The BBC even having to ask this question. Obviously the Royals have plenty of lickspittles working for the press, but Prince Andrew can buggger off (and that's being polite). A poorer person would have been locked up by now.

Bee Gees - Ellan Vannin (unofficial anthem of Isle of Man )
Until yesterday in the pub, l always thought The Bee Gees were from Manchester, until a mate in the pub told me about going to a funeral recently and some of the people there knew The Bee Gees from when they lived at The Isle of Man, before moving to Manchester. Turns out they've even written a song about the place, which l had never previously heard. I know a hell of a lot about music, but somehow this has all passed me by. Unbelievable (Jeff). My mind was blown.

the joyful ex council family home
So l guess Tamsin didn't think the common council house plebs could have had a joyful family home of their own? Grrrrrrr....Don't get me started.
bookends outtakes
For me, Paul Simon is up there with the greatest of all time, and l love his stuff, both solo and with Simon and Garfunkel. Here's some outtakes from the Bookends photo shoot by Richard Avedon.
me in kenya and liverpool
Me in Kenya as a little kid. Rather sadly l don't remember any of my time there.

the rspcb get stuck into the government (sort of)
Well doe to The RSPCB for getting stuck into the current government regarding it's environmental protections (or lack of them). It's great that institutions such as this actually do their job and raise their heads above the pulpit and point fingers at those responsible. Hurrah!!!! More please!!!
Thunderous applause all round from this neck of the woods
Oh.....Hold.....They've bottled it

sara vine and the daily mail are annoyed part 65748484
Oh the irony. I take it it's got nothing to do with Brexit or 13 years of Tory rule?
Never vote Tory

not caring about some air traffic chaos
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.

david lee roth in unfortunate accident while looking cool
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.
the cost of old rolling stones bootleg albums
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.

world famous yet unknown women
These women are all world famous yet no-one knows their names. Etched onto mostly male memories from 1986 onwards. Once seen, never forgotten.

Harpy Eagle Horror
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
Me in the pub thinking of another witticism while other people are trying to have a sensible conversation.
an aeroplane between towers
It's not my photograph, and l don't know who took it, but sometimes the shot is timed just right.
Colour me impressed.
hugh hefner hard of hearing due to viagra
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.
first division football prices in 1981
The old First Division Football prices from 1981. When ordinary working class fans including kids could easily afford tickets. Those days have long gone.
never trust this corrupt government part 47845 - more shit in the waters
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).

toryboypierce complaing about the governments chaos
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.

humorous work training
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.

piers morgan caught out
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.
Conversation with the AI Pi bot and Mustafa Suleyman's 'The Coming Wave'.
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.
