musk in charge of trump images

A couple of images that Donald Trump will hate, which makes them so much funnier.

 I didn't think it was that windy recently, but my fence thought otherwise, as it's now having a relaxing lie down for Christmas.

I blame God.

a new ball cock (fnaaar)

As my small outside pipe was dripping (fnaar) l had to call in a plumber to fit a new ball cock (fnaaar again), as there was no way l was going into the attic to fight off the spiders and do it myself. It cost £90 and l curse life in general when things go wrong, but it's much better than me crapping my pants in the attic (and probably not doing the job right anyway). Here's the offending problem. Cursed at and binned.

the spirited subtitles are rubbish

I've recently enjoyed watching the Australian series 'Spirited', with a sparkling performance by Peep Show's Super Hans (Matt King). In my view, the first series is better than the second, but the main gripe is with this abomination by whatever 12 year old is in charge of the subtitles. They've obviously never heard of Marc Bolan, but these kinds of things are important, and should be checked. Fetch my blunderbuss - l demand retribution!!

how rock / pop stars used to look

 I don't know about you, but l always prefer to have my favourite pop stars looking like stars, and somewhat otherworldly, not looking like the average man on the street. I will however, give Harry Styles a pass, as at least he's been mixing it up a bit.

Bob Dylan - I Threw It All Away (Live On The Johnny Cash TV Show)

Man City 1-2 Man Utd Highlights



Well this ended up being pretty damn sweet!  It was a really crap game featuring a lot of possession football and hardly any shots on target, but the result made it all worthwhile, and l was certainly not expecting it. Happy to settle for a 1-0 defeat at the time, but praise the good lord that changed and there were drinks all round afterwards. Football - Bloody Hell!

And as for Kyle Walker feigning a headbutt, it's not just embarrassing, it's part of the rampant cheating in modern football that needs to be stopped, including all the grabbing that goes on at corner kicks. Retrospectively ban him and others for this sort of behaviour and it will stop overnight. It's not difficult.

Can - She Brings The Rain (Official Audio)

time magazine's person of the year versus the new european

OK, l get that Donald Trump's return to win the USA election (narrowly) is obviously big news and it's unbelievable he will be president again, rather than being locked up, but this is just the kind of praise  and publicity Trump will love, and it kind of helps justify his actions and rhetoric. To me however, The New European naming Gisele Pelicot as their person of the year is a much better choice, and if you don't know who she is, you should really go and investigate. It's horrific, but the amount of bravery she has shown has been off the chart.

iron man looks a bit different

The first appearance of Iron Man, in Tales of Suspense #39 from 1962. Certainly a different look than later years. If only l had more money (and a bigger house). I'd buy loads of old comics like this (as if l haven't got enough).

This has probably been pointed out many years ago, but it's just come into my radar.  A Star Wars stormtrooper upside down looks very friendly , or even creepier, depending on your mindset.  Either way - l like it.

steak cooking guide for my mate

I've a friend (Hello Robbo) who always orders steak when we go out for a meal, and like the knobhead he is, always ends up sending it back as it is always (in his bitter and twisted eyes) over or under cooked. I think l will laminate this guide and take it out with us next time, but l also know it will make not one iota of difference. Myself, the chefs, and others with us are long suffering, but my friend does have many, many issues.

manchester city imploding

What a turn up for the books the last few games have been regarding Manchester City. Absolutely no-one would have predicted so many loses in such a short amount of time, but it's been great, and l for one, am making the most of it, especially as Manchester United have been so crap recently. Being a football fan, you have to clutch at whatever substance comes your way.

where the cavern used to be

Liverpool's Cavern club in the late 1970's - reduced to a car park.  This is obviously before Liverpool went Beatles crazy again and re-invented itself again as a Beatles tourist hotspot. Most people in the late 1970's were more interested in the present and the future, and Eric's was much more important a club as far as music fans from the area were concerned. That has certainly changed now.

the ruben revolution has started

What an excellent result. Happy days are here again etc (for the moment). It 's just good for the eyes seeing Manchester United scoring for a change (4-0 v Everton). Obviously they are still way behind the top clubs at the moment, but you've got to make the most of lifes tiny pleasures. Not crying with joy, but l do like this picture. Still undefeated under Ruben! (not the Norwegian singer).

elon musk funding reform

It's bad enough that right wing fuckers are on the rise everywhere in Europe without this fuckwit trying to dismantle democracy. He's changed so much over the years and l know someone who worked for him for a long time in a very close capacity, He used to be a maverick genius with original ideas, but the sleep deprived drug taking regime must be catching up with him. It's a shame, but more importantly, laws must be bought in to prevent this kind of interference, before it's too late. Mind you. he could be heading towards heart attack city.

Byline Times were also ahead of the curve - buy it now.
