I am happy to acknowledge that Paul Weller has kept himself in fine shape and has obviously been hitting the gym a lot rather than just heading to the pub (unlike me). However - those white shorts are a bit suspect.

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 BBC with the 'one in a billion round egg' story which would be a remarkable news item if it wasn't for the fact they've featured other round egg stories recently.
Think on it. These fresh faced youngsters queuing up for the first Star Wars film in 1977 are now grandparents and retirees (or dead), and yet in a way, this feels like yesterday. Time is heartless.

This is bad - very bad, and l feel for the victims. However, it's also a sad state of affairs that l am pleased (probably the wrong word to use) the driver was a white male, as you can just imagine the destruction, hatred and violence that would follow if he was a refugee or Muslim, because social media would go into racist hate filled overload immediately.

This is from 50 years ago, but with Trump, Reform, the rise of the far right, genocide in Gaza, the war in Ukraine, climate change, and fake news and social media stoking up hatred and division, it's just as relevant today (sadly).

I met my mates on the prearranged bus journey to Richmond yesterday, and it was the first time I have been on a bus for years, as l am not a bus wanker. Towards the end of the night, we luckily bumped into another mate who gave us a lift home in his car, which was a fine result and saved us extortionate taxi fares. However, four of us were crammed into his car (plus the driver), which drives on the same space as a bus, which had this much space. How does this work?

As usual, l'll be off to Richmond soon for the Whit Bank Holiday Pissup (Unofficial title). It's a tradition around this neck of the wood, and it will probably get messy. Hopefully the rain will hold off, but who cares, l'll be wearing a pub most of the day.
Here's me going there.
Here's me later.

The Reform party called for a national strike and protests against the Labour Party government yesterday. Well played everyone. Couldn't possibly have done more. Why weren't these protests and strikes all over the mainstream media? As for the Anti Nazi and far right protesters that outnumbered the Reform supporters in every major city, they are all traitors to our once great and glorious land of milk and honey (before the darkies and illegals moved here), and should be imprisoned. It's all a cover up! Trust no one! Replacement theory! Children eaters!

Sometimes l feel l'm living in an entirely different universe to these people. Pass the tiny violin.

First time tonight visiting the Stockton Globe to see The Waterboys, who l haven't seen for many a year. Hopefully should be good, but it will be the first time hearing a lot of the Dennis Hopper material, so fingers crossed.
This Beatles album looks legit and well worth a punt. Then again, on closer inspection......

Donald Trump - What a vindictive would be dictator he is. This affects poor people to as international students make up nearly a quarter of students and they pay full whack, which means poorer students can also be enrolled with subsidies. Knowing how corrupt and greedy he is, he's probably also after their substantial monetary assets. Still - all politicians are the same right?#
# No - they most certainly are not.
As someone who used to go to Glastonbury festival years ago, this is a headline you would never have seen then. It used to be for freaks and alternative types, now it's something to tick off if you have the money, like attending Wimbledon.

Toodle pipThe pub certainly cleared out quickly after the Manchester United defeat by Spurs last night. What a crappy result, so no European football for United next year. Mind you, it will probably be for the best, and gives them more time to work on tactics.
Toodle pip
This is just pathetic, but it's even worse that this sort of crap is printed in the right wing press constantly.
Toodle pipI've got a sneaky feeling that if l was taking the piss like Sir Adrian Montague, l would be in prison. 'Misspoken' my arse.

As usual, l'm looking forward to tonight's Europa League final, but also as usual, very pessimistic. Fingers and toes all crossed.
