Just got back from seeing Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard at the KU Bar in Stockton. They've certainly gone for a heavier approach with the new songs, but I'm sure they will grow on me. I already like this one a lot.
Rock on!

everton fan eats all of the pies
This looks like a man who has invested heavily in Greggs. He makes me look positively svelte.

life before mr parrot
Before l had Mr Parrot bugging me for attention (he's currently sitting on my chest), l used to be hounded by these two, plus another cat. All wanting attention just as much (but l loved them!). Sadly all dead now.
lp collection fence
This is an ingenious idea, and l'd like it on my garden fences, but I'd imagine it was very time consuming and expensive, so it's very unlikely to happen. A fence painted to look like an LP collection.
my brain after the football
My brain today trying to take in and make sense of the Manchester United v Liverpool FA Cup Quarter final game earlier today. What a game it was, and more importantly, what a great 4-3 win for United!
Bring on Coventry!!
RIP Steve Harley - The Best Years of Our Lives (2014 Remaster)
Another musician l liked a lot has gone to that great gig in the sky. Here's one of my favourite Steve Harley songs. Luckily l've seen him live a few times, but was hoping to see him again soon. Bugger!

the olden english money
This seems like a lifetime ago, and l can hardly remember using them now, especially the pound note. It's amazing how quickly you can adapt to a completely new way of paying.

moody white shops photographs
I took these a while ago, but l like their moodiness. It's the area known as White Shops in Catterick Garrison.
when status quo were cool
It gets harder every year to convince people that Status Quo used to be cool, but trust me on this one - they were.

chomsky on privatisation
This is 100% correct, and is what the government are currently doing to the NHS (and have already done to dentistry)
Never vote Tory.

gogglebox shows how my home might end up
I was watching Gogglebox this evening, and they showed a home that was a bit of a mess (to say the least) and was then de-cluttered. It looked suspiciously like what mine will end up like if l'm not careful (before the de-cluttering). However, in my favour, not even l could live like that.

the speaker's missing from the budget, but michael green is there
Half heartedly watching the budget at the moment, but missing Lindsay Hoyle, the speaker.
On the other hand, Michael Green is there (when he should have gone to jail).

mario mankey installations
I'm a sucker for an interesting art installation, and these examples by the Spanish artist Mario Mankey certainly float my boat. I'm especially keen on the feet through the ceiling one (Ergo Erectus)

things to make you feel old part 7685957675856 - Richard Vernon
It's the loveable moptops in 'A Hard Day's Night' with an elderly pompous city gent, played by Richard Vernon. The Beatles stood for youth and a new way of living, and not taking stick from your supposed elders and betters. Reader, Richard Vernon was 39 at the time.

Off to the pub with low expectations for the Manchester derby. At least there will be a better person behind the bar than this joker.

john peel's 40 favourite records
When John Peel turned 40, he played 40 of his favourite records on wonderful Radio One. I recorded the show and all of them have had plenty of airings since then. A great mix of tunes.
Plus here's his Festive Fifty. Punk's arrived!!

Mick Jagger might have been one of the coolest people on the planet in 1968, but Alain Delon more than matched him, and was one good looking fellow.
