time magazine - donald trump the worst president ever

This is a fake Time Magazine cover naming Donald Trump as the worst president ever. However, it should be a real one.

good news at last - marine le pen found guilty

Some excellent result from France, as Marine Le Pen is found guilty of embezzlement, although of course our right wing press see things differently.  They wouldn't hold the same views if this was a Labour politician.

And of course she had previously called for politicians to be ineligible for life for the same kind of crime. A dangerous hate mongering right wing git.

Lone Star - Flying In The Reel (Peel Session)

reading rock festival 1977 line up

 l may have been very young whippersnapper at the time, but l was one of the attendees at Reading Festival in 1977, hitch hiking down, putting up with the mud everywhere, not washing for three days (no change there) and seeing the occasional excellent act.  Aerosmith, Thin Lizzy, Lone Star, Eddie and The Hot Rods and The Sensational Alex Harvey Band in particular.  The only bonus of being an old git is being old enough at the time to go to festivals like this. All for £7.95!!

simon taylor's bez needs a meal photograph

Simon Taylor has a photographic book with loads of images from Manchester gigs from 1987 onwards.  Here's a fantastic picture of Bez from The Happy Mondays looking like he could do with eating something rather than just Ecstasy. Just say no kids (but what happy times!).

Despite the fact l know this is not a spiral, it still does my head in when my brain tries to convince me otherwise.

high waisted trouser madness

Mavis, are you sure these trousers look good, or are you taking the piss? 

Toodle pip

yet more white house madness - texting war plans

In any other administration, heads would be rolling for these incompetent buffoons, but it seems no-one is accountable for anything under Donald Trump's leadership, which is a very bad thing indeed.

 Oh yes indeed. Drugs may have been taken.

gary cooper looking very camp in the texan (1930)

Here's a rather camp Gary Cooper in 'The Texan' from 1930. You don't get many cowboys looking like this any more, which personally, l think is a bad thing.

the statue of liberty in paris

I'm a man of the world, pretty bright, and have been to Paris on many occasions, and been up The Eiffel Tower a few times, but l never realised there was a Statue of Liberty there as well as in New York, even if it is only a quarter of the size. How on Earth did l not know or spot it? My flabber is well and truly gasted, but, as they say, every day is a learning day.

caeless people - sarah wynn-williams

I've been reading Careless People over the last couple of days and it is certainly eye opening, but not in a good way as far as Facebook / Meta are concerned, which is why they have been trying to ban it and prevent it's promotion.  Highly recommended, and only £12.50 in Tesco's!.
