Earlier today. Let's hope this is the last time we see an image like this in the Iranian (and surrounding areas) conflict, although apparently it is not a nuclear bomb..

elvis presley was 42 years old when he died
After the well deserved praise for the Elvis film last week from when he was at his peak, l was reminded today that he was only 42 years old when he died. At the time the concerts were certainly erratic, and he was often mocked for them (and his weight) in the press. As far as most people were concerned, no one cared about him, as he was considered to be a has been who was well past it, and an embarrassment to his younger magnificent self, which seemed as though it was decades before, but of course was only a few years previous. He still had 'the voice' but couldn't really move about and sing at the same time, and his records were mostly ignored or vilified until (like John Lennon), after his death. Looking back now, he needed people he could trust to say 'no' to him, and he died way too young. An American tragedy in one way, but Lordy Miss Clawdy, what a life he had.
Article reports are from here.
Plus there were warning signs in 1977.

the iranian strait of hormuz lorry solution
This is a great solution. As long as the lories are as large as they are in scale on the map. Fucking idiots.
They could always try this instead.

a dodgy lion haircut
If you think your day is going badly, look on the bright side. At least you haven't gone to the cheap lion's barbers that's just opened.

morrisey and pete hegseth nonsense
As the old Bob Dylan review once said - What is this shit? They must have both gone to the same school of nonsensical reasoning. Or (and more like it) Orwellian 1984 classes in Doublespeak.

Three days later........

the immigration protesting (knucleheaded flag shagging) bet lynch mob
Take a bow Andrew Harrison. That was very well played indeed. Look it up if you don't understand.

the uketsu strange pictures / houses / building books
As the third book of the Uketsu series was about to be released a couple of weeks ago, l re-read the first two (Strange Pictures and Houses) and have just finished the third (Strange Buildings) which l had preordered. They are all intriguing and engaging, plus easy to read, but each one contains darkness and horror that slowly builds and creeps up as the stories evolve (as many Japanese prefer). All are worth reading, but l still prefer the first one, probably because it was so different and unexpected when l first picked up a copy with no prior knowledge in a charity shop.

new yougov voting poll
I can understand the (possibly racist) knuckle headed poorly educated or very old flag shaggers falling for Farage's nonsense, but 19% would still vote The Conservatives in???? Fuck my old platform boots, no wonder l drink. I blame God.
sean duffy - missed connections
Sean Duffy is calling these photographs that he took in Venice 'Missed Connections', and who am l to disagree, as l love the photographs, and the title gives them extra resonance. Splendid work.

kemi badenoch - the mother of all u turns
Just as Farage did the other day, but the right wing media will still say Starmer is weak, incompetent and wrong. What a time to be alive.
iranian media are straight to the point
Who can argue with this?
And in other unrelated news......

alexa - show me a two faced hypocrite called farage part 4666367667
This after banging on in all the right wing rags and TV platforms that Keir Starmer was being weak for not joining in the war on Iran and offering unconditional support to the orange kiddie rapist.

hey - magic mushrooms - we've all done it part 934646565356
This made me laugh and l can relate to it in so many ways. Apart from money from my dad (use my own), being at Uni (never went), seeing Keith Harris and Orville (substitute another crazy gig), and waking up in hospital (ended up in hospital), but the rest of it - spot on.

let's not exile trump
I'd agree with this, but l'd much rather Trump (and his enablers) were in jail. For a very long time.

These kind of strong rebuttals of Trump and Lindsey Graham is exactly what we need. Well said.

ahoge - stupid hair
You've just got to love the Japanese and their sometimes crazy fashions. Obviously l will be styling my hair like this from now on, even if it's just to annoy the philistines at my local. It's always good to be interested in all things culture wise, and if it helps wind people up, all the better.

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.
