so this is 'good condition'? jenny fabian' and johnny byrne's book 'groupie'

I was thinking of buying an original 1969 copy of Jenny Fabian and Johnny Byrne's book 'Groupie' (as you do) and was looking at ebay when l saw this. Labelled 'Good Condition'. Hmm...l think not. I'll pass for now.

popping to the shops for a couple of items

I thought l'd pop to Tesco for a few items last Monday morning before hitting town, as l needed some milk and bread. As l'm also an impulse buyer,  think l may have veered from the original task.

alice cooper's book tour reaches stockton (and almost a child)

I'm a long term fan of Alice Cooper and thought about going to this book tour event in Stockton, but looking at the prices, l'll stay at home, listen to the old records, and remember past concerts instead. If a guaranteed meet and greet was included, that would be a different (ecumenical) matter.

As a side note, the closest l ever got to having a child (as far as l know) was with a girl from London l had a short fling with who l originally met at an Alice Cooper show. I visited her a few times and the romance shortly fizzled out in a friendly manner. However, she later suffered severe stomach pains and was rushed to hospital whereupon it was discovered she was in the process of an ectopic pregnancy. She got in touch after she had recovered to inform what had happened, thinking l should know. Looking back l should have sent her flowers or gone to visit her to check she was OK but l was young idiotic knobhead, so of course l didn't. If l had my time again etc.........

now that's what you call a friday night out!

 My bar bill for last Friday night. To say a good time was had by all is n understatement. Some of these drinks were bought for others, but l obviously got ones bought back so it's certainly impressive (or more like a cause for concern). Proof that I live like Henry VIII, and l also scored with a beautiful lady (picture below).

unguentaria roman glass perfume bottles

Well knock me down with a feather, l'd never heard of these perfume bottles before, but now l have, you can colour me impressed. These small glass wonders are unguentaria, the perfume bottles of the Roman Empire made around the year 50-100 AD. What makes them unique is not only their elegant dove shape but a mechanism so radical that it turns them into single-use objects: to access the aromatic oil or balm they contained, one had to break the neck of the bird or its tail, depending on the amount one wanted to extract. The container was destroyed to reveal its treasure. More here.

york training and the input of 'foreigners'

 I was in York yesterday for a training day, which as The Fast Show used to say, was 'Nice'. l've been working in Social Care for many years and know how underfunded and stretched it is, and as a result of this (and Brexit) about one third of the training participants were from Nigeria or some other foreign country, some of whom l have had the pleasure of working with. Exactly the people being demonised by the far right and their supporters, but 'send them back' and the whole system would collapse. I'm sad to say Labour are not coming across as appreciating them either, with the current long term visa plans being put forward for low paid workers. It's all one giant mess, and more money needs to be inputted.
