I may well have posted this picture before, but l love it. It's a scary looking ant, and l praise the great god Keef that they are not a lot bigger.
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

the times and sunday times does comedy
I actually thought this was a spoof at first. What's happened to most of our press?#

boris johnson - a reminder
As the lying grifter peddles his latest work of fiction, never forget what he is at heart, and the consequences of handing him power.
ken dodd joins the cure
What a glorious day to see a picture of Ken Dodd as a member of The Cure. However, once seen, never forgotten, and l'm speaking as a fan of both.
Toodle pipAnd I'm back again!!
After much Birthday celebrations and my internet going down, it's now back to life being as close to normal as l can manage. To celebrate, here's the Northern Lights at what l know as Bootle Beach a couple of nights ago.

catterick garrison roundabout's trains
I live not far from Catterick Garrison roundabout, and the top picture is what it presently looks like. However, at one time, it used to have trains going through the middle of it (obviously on tracks). Not many small roundabouts have that claim to fame. it would be a nightmare these days with the amount of traffic it currently accommodates.

become a grass for south yorkshire police
South Yorkshire police are looking for grasses. What usually happens is people report their fellow neighbours for earning a little extra money for doing tax free work while claiming benefits, rather than the rich being punished for their law breaking, as it's a different set of rules for them. Obviously I would never condone such behaviour, but for those thinking of responding, l have an example.

liz truss - worse than you think
In news that will surprise no-one, apparently Liz Truss considered cutting Cancer Care to fund tax cuts after her and Kwasi Kwarteng's disastrous budget. I actually think she may have a mental problem of some sort (although she's being richly compensated).

what's happened to the epstein files?
A reminder that it's been a while since Jeffrey Epstein was imprisoned and 'Took his own life', and to date, the only person being punished is Giselle Maxwell. It's about time the guilty sex offenders who took advantage of the young girls were bought to court. Then again, it's not exactly earth shattering news that being rich and powerful (shout out to Prince Andrew here) can head off lawsuits that the likes of myself would have no chance of defending.

This nails exactly how l feel about most current celebrity news. Then again, l'm very very old.

manchester united's return to old trafford after the war
On this day, Manchester United's first game back at Old Trafford after The Second World war. What The Premiership publicity machinery overlooks most of the time is that the appeal of football is mainly about it's history.

idiots trying to blame the wrong people
Forgive me if l am stating the bleeding obvious, but hasn't Robert Jenrick and his party just been in power for the last 14 years, causing most of the problems?
And in other news, the fuckwit that goes by the name of Jeremy Clarkson tries to blame Keir Starmer (who's been in office for 6 / 7 weeks) for the plight of the farmers. Nothing to do with the 14 years of Conservative rule or Brexit of course. Knobheads. No wonder l drink.

car on fire outside the pub
A bit of excitement this evening as a car caught fire just up from the pub. The flames were pretty impressive at one time and everyone got out safely, so all well and good. It looks like the car l drive at work but thankfully it isn't. Certainly livened up the evening.
not the brightest spark
Not the brightest spark, but most definitely the biggest tool (and not in the flattering way).
the road trip from hell
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.

nigel farge and andrew tate
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.

my friends son - the model
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.

a dodgy looking gram parson bootleg
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.

nigel farage - man of the people
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.
