bloody jackdaws slowly demolishing my home
I've had some Jackdaws nesting outside my bedroom window for the last few years, as they made a hole in the woodwork under my guttering and set up home there. Despite the noise from them early in the morning, l like birds and don't mind them being there. Now their mates (or family) have demolished the other end by completely pulling off the wood and have set up home there as well. The cheeky little gits. I know at some stage l am going to have to get all of this replaced, but l will be leaving the bill for it in their respective nests.

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.

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.
