john cusack's not holding back

I've got a lot of admiration for John Cusack as an actor, but l've more respect for him the way he's not afraid to call out the twats currently torching all that was good about America. We need a lot more people prepared too speak out like him, and highlight the madness and power grab for what it is, before it is too late.

penelope keith assassinated jfk

Russell Brand, who rather sadly has gone a bit bonkers over the last few years, is currently sharing a spoof version of the JFK files, which he obviously hasn't read, as they say Penelope Keith (Margo from  'The Good Life') was the assassin. Just when you think the world can't get much crazier.

darlington record fair

I'd only been awake about 10 minutes (it was 11:55) when a mate texted to let me know that there was a record fair in Darlington.  Half an hour later l'm there, and an hour or so later l've spent £150. An excellent days shopping. I also love the poster for it.

In a world full of grifters, chancers, fuckwits and nasty right wing knobheads, be more like Michael Sheen. If only more rich fuckers had his attitude, the world (and everyone in it) would be a lot better off.

It sounds like a bad football chant but it's actually bad reality.

Welcome to Fantasy Island boss, and what a time to be alive.

adolescence - netflix series

I haven't posted for ages about books l've read or films l've seen, but having just binged watched the new Netflix series 'Adolescence', l must say that and it was pretty damn good.  Filmed in one long tracking shot for each episode, it follows a young lad being charged with murdering a female classmate, and the events around it.  Superbly acted, especially by  Owen Cooper who plays the 13 year old protagonist Jamie, but it's certainly not a bundle of laughs. Awards however, should be a shoe in.

leicester city fans are knobheads

I have no beef with Leicester City, and like so many others, cheered them on to their Premiership title win a few years ago.  However (and l know this will only be a minority of fans) this is the work of knobheads, but probably backed by big money.

alexa - show me a spinless bastard

How can he sleep at night?  He is so obviously backing stuff that he is against, but to give him the benefit of the doubt, he may be doing it because of fear of persecution for himself and his family. I'd still rather retire and bugger off somewhere peaceful far away from the shitshow that is current American politics.

And the disrespect and contempt shown to him with this red carpet (in Canada l think) is out of this world.  More of this please.

thousands of ukrainian troops surrounded...

Call me an old cynic but my hunch is Donald Trump is yet again lying again, so that when the imaginary thousands of surrounded Ukrainians are 'spared' from a 'massacre not seen since World War 2 he will claim credit for preventing it and Putin will say he is making concessions by halting the 'massacre'. The Ukrainian's of course deny any of this is true.

As they say on 'The Last Leg' - I call bullshit, and if there was a God (there isn't) whatever that God is wouldn't want anything to do with Trump.

And in other news....

This collection of glass eyes are from the 1880's, and although they look kind of spooky (a scientific term), it also makes me think if l had more money and a larger house, this is something else l would like to collect (hoard). I think l may require help.
