U2 - Atomic City / Vertigo / Where The Streets Have No Name / With Or Without You - The Sphere Las Vegas 2023

Following on from the last post, here's some more U2 at The Sphere.  Especially great from 18 minutes in.  Mind blowing.  Now where's my acid?

U2 - Opening 16 Minutes Of Show - Sphere Las Vegas Grand Opening Night 2023.

This is incredible.  Concert going is going to change a hell of a lot in the near future, including with more holograms, but this is the maddest and most outstanding backdrop to a show there has ever been.  Money well spent.

tories being twats part 54747563833

 You couldn't make this sort of crap up.  After all the money the Tories have squandered, written off, and given to their mates, they try to demonise people on welfare (again) to give tax cuts to the already well off.

From The Guardian, and never vote Tory

jonathan gullis' tour of parliament

What kind of fresh hell is this?  There's not enough money in the world to make me want to take part in this tour, although l guess it's not aimed at me. I despise most of the Tory party, but Jonathan Gullis is up there with the worst of them.

Never vote Tory

sebastian payne can fuck off

The average cost of private schools is about £15,000 a year, which is well out of most peoples reach. They're paying for entrenched privilege, and despite the fact only about 7% of the population go to them, our whole system is mainly run by them, with the old school ties and connections helping each other to achieve power, wealth and authority over the poor folk who can't afford the fees, plus it's about time we had some class warfare.

Never vote Tory

The Rolling Stones - Sweet Sounds Of Heaven (with Lady Gaga)

Knock me down with a feather! I'm a long term fan of The Rolling Stones, but this has amazed me. The first genuine excellent song for years.  Features Lady Gaga, and just as you think it's ended, there's more delights to follow. Now looking forward to the new album, which l certainly wasn't before.

shows you never see on tv anymore

I guess you can probably watch all of these on various specialist channels, but back in the day, they were all free on normal TV, and life was all the better for it.

24% of the people are dickheads

After all the corruption, lies and mismanagement, how are 24% still planning to vote for the Conservatives? The hope on the horizon is that only 1% of 18 - 24 year olds are planning on doing so.

Never vote Tory

replanting a tree

I'm amazed in this day and age, we can't reattach or replant a cut down tree. Metal rod down the middle of both parts and stabilising planks till it takes hold? If not, put a replacement tree sculpture there.

I've only just found out about Asteroid Hyalosis, and although it can he a sign of diabetes or heart trouble, I have found it fascinating, as it also looks so cool, and l want it!

only murders in the building disturbing image

I've been loving the Disney Channel's 'Only Murders in the Building' and have nearly finished season three (one episode to go!), but oh my giddy aunt, this was a disturbing image. I've done a close up, so you can be traumatised as well.

Looks can be deceiving, and one of these men is a Rock God, and l have spent many happy hours in his company. I will tell you now - it's not the big guy.

Michael Jackson Zero Gravity 'Lean' video shoes

I'm rather glad to say, as a fan of magic tricks, l called out how this would have been done at the time. 
Michael Jackson's shoes are below the video, but it takes a lot of strength to do, so l still have a lot of respect and admiration for the routine.

suella braverman is racist and vile part 965764987

In a near empty room probably consisting mostly of media reporters, Suella Braverman says multiculturalism has failed. Remember she is currently the British home secretary, descended from Goan Indians from Maritius and Kenya, while being married to a Jewish person, and working under a Hindu Prime Minister, who is also a person of colour. I'd call that multiculturalism working just fine thank you.

She is also a racist, nasty, right wing troll who regularly sprouts divisive hate filed rhetoric to appease her far right backers. If the Rwanda plane ever starts taking people there, she should be on it. She will of course, make a bid to be leader of the Conservatives at some point, as she is exactly the kind of right wing shrill part of the party want, and has shown she will say anything to grab headlines and promote herself, even if it means demonising people.  Her parents must be so proud.

Manchester United against Liverpool 1977

 The Manchester United team that beat Liverpool in the 1977 FA Cup Final and prevented them winning the treble. With Tommy Docherty's red and white army supporting them all the way. 

And then he was gone.

why isn't this all over the news?

I'm not putting the video up as it's heart-breaking, but it's easily found. I know it's not new, but the only child who is missed out when the medals are handed out is a person of colour. And not one other adult stepped in to rectify the matter. It's been all over the internet in the last couple of days but nothing but silence from the TV news.

toby young v marcus rashford......toby young is a twat (with added quentin letts)

I don't care how much money Marcus Rashford spends on cars, houses, or life sized mannequins of Toby Young (son of a Lord) to kick the fuck out of, as it's his money, he's paid tax on it, and earned it by hard work, talent, and being at the top of his profession, so he can do whatever he wants with it. That doesn't mean he hasn't got a conscience, and he has done more for those less fortunate than himself than pretty much all other top earners and the government, so Toby Young (as usual) is talking crap and can fuck off.

Never vote Tory (or buy the Daily mail).


See also...Quentin Letts.  Also a twat.

Never buy The Telegraph either

colin smith's cluttered room

Christ on a bike.  I thought my house was cluttered, but it's nothing compared  to Colin Smith's. Maybe I'm not a premiership hoarder after all, so think I'm going to have to take a long hard look at myself, up my game, and start hitting the charity shops to improve my standing. I can't be putting up with this, I've got my reputation to think of.

The game's on mutha!!!

old uk pound notes, plus some misty in roots and marcus garvey

It's amazing to think these were part of our lives for so long, and now they feel like ancient history. Time moves on, but without a knowledge of history you can't determine your destiny, and if you're not conscious of the present you're like a cabbage in this society. Check out Misty in Roots Live at the Counterculture 1979 to see where l nabbed that from (and check out Marcus Garvey to see where they nicked it from).
