manchester united unveil another new goalkeeper
As the new football season edges nearer, Manchester United unveil another goalkeeper. As usual l'm looking forward to the season, but with a heavy dose of trepidation. Then again, you've got to support your team though the good and bad, and at least they didn't get relegated. How hopes, dreams and times have changed since Fergie left. I won't see those glory years repeated, that's for sure, but at least l was aware of how fantastic and unusual it was at the time, and savoured every moment, especially the treble year.
wednesday's pub outfit is sorted
It's Wednesday afternoon, which means it's time for our meet up at the local. At least l've got my outfit sorted, and I'm sure the lads will be impressed.

release the epstein files part 64564665 (and start arresting people)
Remember.....as Ghislaine Maxwell probably cuts a deal to be freed / pardoned by agreeing to exonerate Trump, there's still this. One law for the rich (and powerful) etc.

malcom macdowell and t.rex crossover
Two of my favourite films, and both featuring glimpses of Marc Bolan / T. Rex, my first musical love. Malcom MacDowell starring in 'O Lucky Man' and 'A Clockwork Orange'. Both films that certainly leave a lasting impression, and not necessarily a pleasant one. Still fab though.

trump's name may have been planted in the epstein files
I didn't even see this defence coming! It would be laughable if it wasn't so tragic and corrupt. Don't forget it was only about a week ago when they were saying there were no files. Release them now!

darlington record fair misshap
Bugger! I went through to Darlington earlier today for the record fair, and despite texting a couple of mates the date, and looking at the poster beforehand, l still went a week early as it's not on till the 2nd August!. I need help (in more ways than one).
Still managed to buy 16 second hand records in town though, although they only cost me £35.

slimming world leaflet
Some cheeky sod has shoved this through my letterbox (Fnaaar). Cheeky sods - are they trying to hint l need to change? I think it's too late for that now. Saying that, it could be from one of my so called mates taking the piss. I wouldn't put it past them.

musicstack will be the ruin of me
Bugger! I've just discovered MusicStack and it is going to bankrupt me. I only went onto it yesterday and l'm already amassing the orders. This is alongside eBay, Amazon and record fairs (another one on Saturday). At this rate l'll have to start doing overtime to feed myself, although l'm currently playing Dexys 'The Feminine Divine' and records are worth every penny.

inciting riots? Moi?
What a pathetic sad excuse of a man. As labour bang on about the 'social fabric' of the UK being broken and needing repair, it's knobheads like Anderson and Farage that fuel the hatred and division, and who should be held responsible.
drama in the village of my workplace
The joys of living in the countryside. My workplace village grinding to a halt due to increased traffic.

that obama was sedatious
The words 'pot kettle and black' spring to mind, and if the American legal system had done it's job we wouldn't be in this mess now. Release the Epstein files!

t.rex the slider album released july 1972
In July 1972, this magnificent work of art was released. A mere 53 years ago. Possibly the most played album in my collection, with 'Electric Warrior' and the 'Bolan Boogie' compilation not far behind.

no genocide in gaza bullshit
Call me an old deluded fool, but l think Bret Stephens has got this wrong. One day in the future people will look back and wonder how this was allowed to happen. I've nothing against Israelis and the general population, but Netanyahu's regime and the IDF's war crimes are something completely different, and should be called out.
