 It took me a minute to notice.

k2-18b looks interesting

I believe in an infinite space and time, which also means an infinite amount of other life on other planets, but doubt we'll ever get to meet them.

beatles crockery collection found

Fancy sorting out a dead relatives house and finding this. In pristine condition. However, much as l love The Beatles, l'd get this flogged straight away, as nothing about it makes me want to keep it.  As a hoarder and Beatles fan, that's saying something, but everyone has to draw the line somewhere.

the epstein files -- l call bullshit

 As they would say on 'Poker Face' - l call bullshit. If you believe this, l'm a banana.

wendy erskine's the benefactors

I'll put up another list of recent books l've read soon, but there's special praise for this one. Wendy Erskine's 'The Benefactors', which was superb, and one of the best books l've read for a while. It makes you reconsider your own views, and when finished, made me want to read it again as l would understand more about the characters the second time around.  An outstanding debut, and l will be looking out for more from her in the future. Money that was very well spent (for a change).

maga america versus the taliban - you decide

ok - not all of trumps ideas come from the nazis.

Ok, OK - I stand corrected and will admit when l am wrong.  Not all of Donald Trump's ideas / playbook / slogans come from the Nazis. I was foolish and didn't check properly, but am happy to rectify my mistake. Here's the one that's not from the Nazis that l overlooked.  A schoolboy error on my part and it won't happen again. I'll spank my own bottom later.

The UK is spending too much on welfare you say?  Also one of the worst pensions .

johnny thunders by bob gruen

Now l love The New York Dolls and Johnny Thunders, and this is how rock stars should look - ridiculous and other worldly, and not looking like 'normal' members of society. They live the rock and roll lifestyle outside of the law and with very few rules that others would love to live, but are unable to (or wouldn't want to). I've had a fair crack of it in my own way, but living like it 24 hours a day, 7 days a week takes (funnily enough) a lot of commitment and hard work.  No wonder so many of them turn to drugs.


Toodle pip

trump for the nobel priza (not hitler)

Donald Trump desperate to win the Nobel Peace Prize and being put forward by his spineless spitlickles and gutless world leaders (and war criminals).  Hmmm....What does that remind me of? Also remember, If you're ever curious about the Trump camps playbook and strategies, look to the Nazi's.

more trump madness part 3656365

As stated many times, the man just talks crap. Remember when (if) there is another American election - politicians are not all the same, and if Kamala Harris had won, she wouldn't be starting a dictatorship with ICE as her henchmen.





Toodle pip

one in - one back and brexit benefits

One in and one back with the small boats crossings is a start, and at least we are now working in conjunction with the French. However, l didn't see much coverage around what has been well known for anyone who is not blinkered by the so called benefits of Brexit, President Macron in his speech confirms the crossings increased after Brexit. The usual right wing rags were very silent on that statement.

U2 - London Wembley Stadium 12th June 1987 (The Joshua Tree Tour)

Flitting around the internet, l stumbled upon this. I'm not sure, but this may be one of my recordings from when l was a bootlegger back in the day. I sold all of my tapes to an American years ago but made some copies for myself of the better ones (or favourite concerts). I'll have to check if l saved this. However, my Birmingham recording on June 3rd from the same tour was the best of the lot, and sounded like a normal well recorded live album (in stereo). I even impressed myself with it.



Here's the advert for Wembley.

£7.4 million for a handbag yet people are starving

This - All day long. There's plenty of money knocking about, but the majority of it is in the hands of the few.  This is why we need a decent form of Socialism and empathy and equality for people worse off than ourselves. As for Capitalism, Austerity, Populism, Division through hatred, plus Trickle Down Economics, they can all fuck off.  I've no problem with some people making a bit more money if they want to work harder and put extra hours in, but we need plumbers and electricians (as well as lots of so called 'menial jobs') as much as (and if not more) than we need bankers and CEOs. As for shareholders taking the piss in privatised companies - don't get me started.

A hosepipe ban is being enforced from tomorrow in these sun drenched parts of the country.  Luckily l've made preparations.

my bloody fence has been repaired

The colour will eventually match once the sun has it's way, but at long last (and £1,000 later) my fence has been repaired. Now the neighbours don't have to suffer the sight of me sunbathing in the garden. That is of course, unless they want to go upstairs and continue to marvel at the view (which l very much doubt).

My sister has just been to Cornwall and of course while she was there she went to Lands End to see the magnificent view out to sea. Unfortunately for her, the weather had other ideas. Naturally, she, like me, blames God.

zohran mamdani speaks sense about billionaires

After all the Trump and GOP lickspittle bullshit, this is a breath of fresh air. Obviously Trump and his party goons will do everything they can do to shut him down, and not necessarily legally, but for now, at least there's a bit of hope.

jeffrey epstein's client list part 4

Of course Epstein killed himself and had no client list.  Why would the DOJ and Trump have any reason to try and cover it up?  Honestly - some people are soooo sceptical.

jeffrey epstein's client list is no more

So we are meant to believe there was no client list and Epstein took his own life?  Pah! In a saner world, this should be the order the meme (and news) unfolds.

 I get the women's response, and there are various versions of this cartoon, but what still bugs me is the way he is holding the record.  No sad bastard like him (or me) would hold a record that way.  I need to get a life.

no cuts to medicaid cartoon and the rise of ICE

As the rich get richer, the madness continues.  Never forget it only took the Nazis about 6 months to destroy democracy in Germany pre war. Watch out for ICE, which could well become Trump's private army.
