road sign alterations l can get fully endorse

 I'm against the flags and painting roundabouts, but altering signs like this? All for it, and rather than stirring up division, this promotes happiness and laughter in our ever changing world. More please.

top of the bill cool kid (1971)

 While watching a short documentary from 1971 called 'Top of the Bill' about the old music halls and performers (as you do), this young gentleman was interviewed. I'll admit l though he was a lady at first, but let's have a return to the days when people dressed as individuals and wore outlandish garments.  Well played young man, and l hope he is still alive and still enjoying life.

boris johnson on charlie kirk

 Just when you think Boris Johnson can't stoop much lower for a bit more money and publicity, here he  is on the shooting of Charlie Kirk, and his common sense / reasonable opinions as a shining martyr. I don't want anyone shot, but Charlie Kirk was a right wing racist bigmouth with a huge media platform, stirring up hatred and division, and to normalise his views in any way shape or form makes the world a much more dangerous place, which l suspect Johnson probably knows, but when did his honour or (lack of) principals ever get in the way of him exploiting a tragedy. See further down for Charlie Kirk's views, and in a Boris link, don't buy The Sun.

more disappointment in the local pub

As usual l went to the local pub last night with high hopes.  Rather sadly, l was disappointed again.   Still - l'm an optimist, so better luck tonight!

the flag shaggers have been up to no good with the white horse

Makes you proud to be British (not). Haven't the roundabout painting flag shaggers got anything better to do? Don't forget that nearly half of them arrested at recent protests had previous convictions for domestic violence, but let's face it, that wasn't unexpected news. Protecting women and children my arse.

the finnish superman first issue in 'fallen leaves'

I was watching the 2023 Finnish film 'Fallen Leaves' (as you do) and was pleasantly surprised to see a character reading a Finnish reprint of Superman #1, even if l am more of a Marvel Comics man myself. The more comics in movies the better l say.

time magazine cover with jfk jr

I hope this is real, and if not - it should be. I think many in the Trump camp want people to become sick and ultimately die, as they look upon them as weak and of no benefit to their planned AI driven fascist society, and  l include the old and disabled. There will be too many people for too few jobs, and if you can't be productive, they would happily see you off to save money and stop any civil unrest. And they have the cheek to call themselves Christians.

spray painting flags and the dragon house chinese takeaway, york.

This is where the spray painting leads.  Let's face it, it's not about pride in the country but demonstrating to 'illegals' that they are not welcome, all fanned by the usual suspects of the right wing press, lying Farage, and the complicity of the news channels, giving all of the above so much air time when other much more well attended gatherings and marches are ignored, Farage is never robustly challenged and his every utterance is treated like a sermon from the mount, and the other opposition parties with many more members of parliament are ignored. Where's all the 'concerned citizens' protests against Chinese, Australian, American or Ukrainian immigrants? The rich backers know how to stoke division and hatred so they can gain power and abolish laws and rights that will benefit them, at the expense of most of the dickheads who are currently doing the painting. No wonder l drink.

However, there are also many, many decent people out there, it's just that their voices are not heard enough. Well played Crystal Clean Windows also of York.

well these did a lot of good - RIP Mr Parrot

After a drive to Stockton straight after work to pick up more meds for Mr Parrot l arrived home to discover what l had been dreading  It's been a long couple of weeks, (at least) but at least l tried. He'll be missed (a lot), and at least he's stopped suffering, and he is now residing in the garden with the rabbits. What a great pet.
