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

I swear movie 2025
What a fucking movie! I can't recommend this enough and it is now on Netflix so if you haven't seen it, do so ASAP. It's a true story, it's incredibly moving, but l cried with laughter on many occasions as it's also hilarious, with some top class inventive swearing. The original documentary (John's not mad) is also available on youtube and also well worth a watch. Thank me later.
the american airstrike at the iranian school update
Let's not forget, the American's knew what they were doin and targeted it twice, no matter what the lying kiddie shagging rapist war criminal has to say about it.

the walk back from the pub is still exorcist country
The walk back from the pub on Sunday evening. Still deserted and like being in a remake of The Exorcist. Or was that actually being in the pub?
the t. rex gig l should have gone to
I never got to see T. Rex and would have loved to have seen them in their prime, but l was going to go to this show at Newcastle City Hall. However, my girlfriend at the time couldn't make it so l decided (rather foolishly as it happened) l'd wait till the next tour. For those not in the know, Marc Bolan died shortly afterwards so this turned out to be my last chance. Bugger Bugger Bugger.

the recent rolling stones bootlegs
Pictures of my Rolling Stones bootleg purchases from Saturday. Very pleased with them, and if anything, I should have bought more.
ice deport a deaf child
More heartlessness from ICE and the Trump Government. I really hope that one day people will be held to account.
gavin newsom - in memoriam kristi noem
Although Gavin Newsome will not confirm he is going to run for president, as he's said it depends on his family situation, l really hope he does. He's open, engaging, charismatic, bright, self deprecating, empathetic and pretty much everything Donald Trump is not, and America deserves someone a lot better once the orange kiddie shagging rapist has gone.

st john of god - sort of my old boss
I used to work for these many moons ago. Obviously l was spotted as a natural straight away and still partake, albeit elsewhere.

It was done by America, and they denied it for days, although it was heavily reported elsewhere.
The children that were killed.

fox news propaganda and jd vance statements not aging well
To no-ones great surprise, we have now reached full on propaganda and news doctoring from American news outlets, in this case Fox news, who plated an old clip of Trump saluting the return of dead soldiers to cover up the fact he was disrespectfully wearing a white baseball cap for the actual return of them.

an excellent day at the record fair
I had a rather expensive yet excellent day at Darlington Record Fair today. as one dealer had just got a Rolling Stones collection so l filled my boots with vinyl bootleg albums to the tune of £450. Very happy with my haul as they worked out to be about £28 each on average, and some were doubles. I am also a very sad man who needs help for his collecting.

more shelving nearly finished
I've nearly finished putting together yet more shelving, this time for some of my CDs. However, l want two of these, but bought one first to make sure it was of decent quality. Of course now l've gone to try and order the second matching one, they are sold out everywhere in this colour. Bugger! I now have to wait for them to be back in stock, or change my well made plans of where l am going to put it.

keith richards and looking cool
I guess it depends on the drugs, your constitution, and your age, but at one time the great Keith Richards could look cool even when he's zonked out. A few years later, less so even when awake.
Mind you, much as l've tried to model myself on Keef, nowadays l'm more like this (but with ears), so it's all relative.

Get in! It's about time someone came to the aid of my long suffering liver. Now at long last it has some hope.
Full story here.

elvis presley - epic : elvis presley in concert
After being recommended by a couple of mates to do so, I went to see the new Elvis Presley film this morning, and l have to say, it was rather magnificent. Featuring Elvis at his peak in concert and rehearsals, it emphasised the charisma, stage presence, humour and voice, and my oh my, what a voice he had. Recommended, especially as l experienced it, in a cinema with only one other person.
