Well this message from Donald Trump Jr didn't have the effect it desired.

l need a bigger house - the rolling stones, la villa
I've had both of these posters for a while, but it's about time l framed them and hung them up. I am however, running out of spaces to hang things.

I need more money
Once again, l need more money (and a bigger house). These are currently for sale, and l want them! However, even l can't justify spending that much on records, which let's face it, l already own (but later versions).

kate moss as andy warhol's marilyn monroe
Kate Moss is obviously an attractive woman, but this isn't a patch on the original, and highlights how extra specially (is that correct?) photogenic Marilyn Monroe was, although Kate Moss is also pretty photogenic herself.
gordon ramsey's bruise
The Chef Gordon Ramsey has been in an accident while riding his bicycle. All part of normal life, and he has been promoting wearing helmets to avoid serious injury. I wasn't however, expecting the severity of his bruising. I bet that was painful.

the german royal family
As fascism once again rears it's ugly head, a reminder that our Royal Family are of German heritage and Edward VIII was a fan of Hitler.

dr jive's first gig
These are mates of mine playing their first gig back in the mists of time after booting me out and getting a new singer (Bastards!!).
Might have had something to do with the fact l couldn't sing, but l certainly looked the part at the time. Two of the people in this photo latter went on to be high ranking policemen.

bob dylan's fashion mistake
I will usually bow down with respect to all things Bob Dylan related, including his usual sartorial elegance, but even at the height of his coolness, he couldn't make this outfit work.

old waterboys adverts
Amongst other things, l am currently reading the hardback book that came with The Waterboys 1985 6 cd boxset, which focuses on the making of their 'This is the Sea' album. I've said it before and l will say it again, between 'A Pagan Place' and Fisherman's Blues', they were one of the best live and studio bands in the world, if not the best, and l for one certainly loved them.
Here's a couple of old adverts.

light years - newcastle boiler shop
Off to The Light Years festival at The Boiler Shop, Newcastle later on and looking forward to it, as l haven't seen any of the bands before, so attending with no preconceived expectations. Rather sadly, it's my turn to drive, so will be remaining sober and drug free.
Will post some videos of the acts later.

mosley and farage - a reminder
The sad thing is l know people who think racist clowns like Farage speak for them, and have their better interest at heart. Then again, they've had had a shit time over the last 14 years and want change. Unfortunately, they are looking in the wrong direction, thanks to the right wing press aimed at the lower classes that they read on a daily basis.
At least the working class people of Liverpool had the good sense to throw rocks at Mosely when he came recruiting in their hometown. Farage only has to face milkshakes.
Never vote Tory (or for any 'party' Farage is in).
Toodle pipnewcastle handyside arcade closes
It was a sad day when Newcastle's Handyside Arcade closed (to make way for a fucking student car park). A real hangout for hippies, freaks, and general weirdos, of which l include myself. Not as bad as the closure of The Haymarket pub nearby, but it was still the sad end of an era.

civil disobedience in clacton
Rather like Ghandi and Dr King, l am against any physical violence against politicians (or people in general), although if pressed, could certainly put forward some exceptions. Much as l loathe Farage and his ilk, this could easily go down a darker route, which would not be good for anyone, no matter which way people vote. However, I still found this hilarious, and if it happened to him every time he showed his hideous racist personage to the great British public (or further afield), l wouldn't be complaining about it at all.
Never vote Tory (or UKIP / Reform / National Front)
