Christ on a bike! Talk about a road trip from hell! Years ago l would have enjoyed their company, but certainly not now. It also reminds me to buy some new shirts, get my hair cut, and have a shave.

Booze, news and views from a drunken opinionated fool who can't spell very well, may well repeat himself, and can't blame it on dislexia

Nigel Farage sure hangs around and respects some dodgy characters. Farage obviously does not mind immigrants charged with sex trafficking and rape, as long as they are not black, despite his so called concern for women and girls. I certainly wouldn't have expected that from the lying, grifting, piss taking racist. Stop the Boats my arse.
Saw this advert earlier today and had to have a second look, as much to my surprise, it features my friends son. I only saw both of them at the weekend and nothing was mentioned, but if he makes his fortune in the modelling world, l hope he remembers his poor old uncle.

I'm a fan of bootleg lps and obviously have a few of them lying around, although it is definitely a case of buyer beware as some can be atrocious. I don't know about the sound quality on this one, but it does not bode well if they can't even get Gram Parson's name right on the cover.
A grifter who has managed to get others to pay for trips such as an all expenses USA excursion to the tune of £32,000 'To see a friend and represent Clacton'. He must be pissing himself with joy at peoples stupidity.
My laptop buggered up and l don't want to do this on my phone or kindle, but l've just got a new laptop and am currently setting it up. Hurrah!

I'm no expert, but l have had to administer First Aid and I am trained to do so, but that monstrosity on Donald Trump's ear has not been applied by a Health Professional, and is obviously for show. Who would have predicted he would try and milk the injury for all it's worth? It's so unlike him.

These now collectable Civil War bubble gum cards from the USA may soon be updated. Check back later.
Get rid of Gareth Southgate. Way too cautious and defensive, and we've got to the final more through luck, perseverance and individual moments from outstanding talents, not good management. I still haven't forgiven him for the way we capitulated after going ahead against Italy in the last Euros, when we had them on the ropes and should have gone for it, rather than dropping back and inviting the pressure, as they have done so often. England had a decent 30 minutes in the first game, an excellent first half against The Netherlands, and rode their luck for the rest of the tournament, against some teams that were nowhere near top flight, apart from Spain.

Trust me on this - This will be the conversation amongst many in the pub before this evenings game. The thing is, I agree with the general sentiment (although not in such a harsh way). When having these discussions, blokes (and it generally is blokes) are obviously referring to the mens football team, and their history, plus their own personal experiences and history of supporting them, sometimes going back decades, and it's that history that make the odd win extra special. The womens football achievements are separate, the same as an England (mens) under 21 team, or an England paraplegic team winning their tournaments would be. All representing England and rightfully proud of their achievements, but also separate from each other and their own sometimes marvellous achievements. It's the history of defeats, poor performances, mismanagements, bad luck, rivalries and embarrassments that make occasional victories sweeter. The same as club football. Anyway, heading there in a few minutes, so l will find out.
Kate Andrews can fuck off - no we are most definitely not all MAGA. After Trumps attempted assassination attempt earlier the violent rhetoric will be ramped up by the Republicans, and some have already tried to blame the Democrats and / or Joe Biden for the attempt. This is of course ignoring Donald Trump's record of mocking the handicapped and assassination attempts (plus serious injury) to the Pelosi's, instigating an insurgence on the capital which caused loss of life after refusing to accept the election result, pandering to the NRA while Republicans pose with their high powered rifles and wear images of them, and even shouting 'Fight Fight' as he was led away from the shooting. His supporters at the rally were blaming the press straight away, aggressively threatening and shouting at them (while no doubt thanking God for saving their glorious leader). Imagine the retaliation that would be taking place in the country if the shooter hadn't been a young white registered Republican? Imagine for even a second what the consequences would be if he had been Mexican, black, Muslim or even 'Woke'. The USA is more divided and deranged that it has been for decades, with civil war a not too imaginary possibility, and much of that is down to Trump himself, although ably assisted by his deluded power hungry backers on TV and in the Senate, plus the idiotic rally going Fox News watching mainstream media hating supporters who Trump is taking the piss out of. Sometimes you reap what you sew in this word, but unfortunately the last photograph below will probably seal him the election, as it will appeal to his MAGA disciples, plus it triggers memories of the famous Iwo Jima photograph by Jim Rosenthal. If there was ever a time Democrat's and left leaning folk need to get out and make their vote count, even if it's for a plate of cold custard versus Trump, it's now, otherwise they will spend many many years regretting not doing so. Buckle up - it's going to be a bumpy ride.
This idiot is an elected representative.
Watching the images from Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant's wedding in Mumbai, I wondered what the twat that is Boris Johnson reminded me off, and it's both of the pictures below this one I wonder what his (current) wife see in the self promoting narcissistic multi millionaire with the gilt edged lifestyle? Certainly not his looks. Let's get the Russian report published and get him prosecuted.
Despite being told numerous times that l should visit Australia and l would 'really like it', there's always something holding me back. The likes of this luring in my room. No thank you - I'II pass.
