still looking good after christmas
Although l am currently 87% made of cheese after the Christmas pig outs, l'm still looking good. Let's hope the New Years celebrations don't push me over the edge.

batman and robin - elon musk is a nazi
And if Elon Musk is not a Nazi, he's currently doing one hell of a job of behaving like one.
john smith was correct
John Smith was correct, only nowadays they are also a lot more right wing, and getting even more extreme.

the urban voodoo machine coming up again
Off to see The Urban Voodoo Machine again pretty soon (February 7th), and l'm sure it will be another excellent nights entertainment, but before then, l need to buy the t-shirt below so l can recreate the photo (and no, neither of the people in the photo are me).

man utd still crap and miss penalty 2024 - eric harland
Manchester City playing nearly as crap as Manchester United is the only thing keeping me going these days. As D' Ream famously sang - things can only get better.

the boxing day hunt
As the toffs and 'Man of the People' Nigel Farage attend their Boxing Day hunts, lets cross our fingers and toes, and hope that the hunters who are breaking the hunting laws get prosecuted with all the vigour and harsh sentences that the Just Stop Oil protesters were. Reader, don't hold your breath in anticipation - they won't.

nyc firefighters upset with donald trump
I the least surprising news of the day, NYC Firefighters who supported Donald Trump are let down by him and Elon Musk, while the wealthy are to receive tax cuts. Who could possibly have predicted things would turn out this way? Look on the bright side - it will only get worse, and all the dickheads who voted for this partnership from Hell deserve what they reap. It's going to be one mindfuck of a presidential term for many of his supporters, and the poorer ones will suffer.

the bbc platforming the far right
I couldn't agree with this more. I'm sick to death of seeing Nigel Farage on Question time and various news shows, and the 'think tanks' from Tufton Street should be made to declare where their funding comes from to promote their right wing capitalist views. There's also the amount of journalists from the right wing press that are constantly platformed, and don't get me started on GB 'News'. No wonder l drink.
me watching manchester united recently
It's been frustrating watching Manchester United recently (apart from the end of the City game), but at least there's now a relegation battle to keep me interested. When l've said l preferred football in the 1970's, l didn't mean l wanted Manchester United to go back to being as crap as they were at the start of that decade. Be careful what you wish for.

the church and paedo's
This just about sums up their attitude. I'm all for forgiveness, but if someone fancies kids, that is not going to change, the same as if they had a foot fetish. It's a lifetimes obsession.

respect to ian wright
As the Marcus Rashford saga drags on, no matter what your view on the situation, it's really good and decent of Ian Wright to come to his support. Well played that man.
my fire hazard kitchen
I foolishly starated sorting some crap out to re-do some rooms, and l realise now l should have concentrated on one room at a time, as my kitchen currently has boxes full of books, CD's and DVD's stacked in it, and the rooms in question are still a mess. Looks like l'll have plenty to keep me occupied when l am off work at the start of January. Yippee!

why cats are great
I can't have any cats at the moment as they would eventually eat my parrot, but l do love how grumpy they can be.

my fence is taking it easy
I didn't think it was that windy recently, but my fence thought otherwise, as it's now having a relaxing lie down for Christmas.
I blame God.

a new ball cock (fnaaar)
As my small outside pipe was dripping (fnaar) l had to call in a plumber to fit a new ball cock (fnaaar again), as there was no way l was going into the attic to fight off the spiders and do it myself. It cost £90 and l curse life in general when things go wrong, but it's much better than me crapping my pants in the attic (and probably not doing the job right anyway). Here's the offending problem. Cursed at and binned.
the rolling stones in the new mojo magazine
I've just received this through the post, and l must say, l love it. What a great cover photograph of a band at their majestically peak (The Mick Taylor years).

the spirited subtitles are rubbish
I've recently enjoyed watching the Australian series 'Spirited', with a sparkling performance by Peep Show's Super Hans (Matt King). In my view, the first series is better than the second, but the main gripe is with this abomination by whatever 12 year old is in charge of the subtitles. They've obviously never heard of Marc Bolan, but these kinds of things are important, and should be checked. Fetch my blunderbuss - l demand retribution!!

how rock / pop stars used to look
I don't know about you, but l always prefer to have my favourite pop stars looking like stars, and somewhat otherworldly, not looking like the average man on the street. I will however, give Harry Styles a pass, as at least he's been mixing it up a bit.
Man City 1-2 Man Utd Highlights
And as for Kyle Walker feigning a headbutt, it's not just embarrassing, it's part of the rampant cheating in modern football that needs to be stopped, including all the grabbing that goes on at corner kicks. Retrospectively ban him and others for this sort of behaviour and it will stop overnight. It's not difficult.

iron man looks a bit different
The first appearance of Iron Man, in Tales of Suspense #39 from 1962. Certainly a different look than later years. If only l had more money (and a bigger house). I'd buy loads of old comics like this (as if l haven't got enough).
