Now he was most definitely a one off.

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
As The Wall Street journal is threatened with legal action by Donald Trump over the publishing of the contents of a birthday card to Jeffrey Epstein (below), anyone who thinks the WSJ haven't checked the providence of this and run it past many lawyers before publishing is deluded. Trump denies sending the message, which also contained a drawing of a naked lady, stating that he does not draw, and does not even doodle, which is a wild statement to make, as he has previously auctioned of signed drawings he's done (see further below). Once again, he can either draw and has auctioned his drawings, or can't draw and his claimed drawings are fake. Either way, both can't be true, so he's is once again a proven liar, and will continue to lie as long as he breathes.
And talking of bad drawings....Here's a magnificent photograph of John Lennon cracking up with laughter after seeing a picture of Ringo Starr drawn by a fan. Atlanta in 1965 (ish). Ringo looks like he's one of The Three Stooges idiotic brothers.
Who on God's great and glorious green earth drew this picture, and how in the name of my grannies old knickers was it passed to go on the cover of this 1976 issue of the 'Judy' comic? I could of draw better when pissed up and in total blackness, and trust me - l can't draw. Saying that, neither can whoever did this. A travesty.
One of the most famous memes on the internet, re-enacted by the same people 10 years later.
Not the sharpest tools in the toolbox, but certainly tools. Urged on by the right wing press and the usual suspects, who should really be held accountable when the violence kicks off.

While looking at the mad prices for the 'Sniffin' Glue' fanzines, l stumbled upon this Ramones one, which was but together by a friend of mine from Sunny Darlington (Dave) many years ago, and he would admit himself he wouldn't have done so without knowing me. Fetching decent prices so l hope he has a load left he can flog nowadays, but more importantly, he was obviously a huge fan of The Ramones and got to see them many times following them around the country selling this.
I did a similar thing before him with a couple of Waterboys ones (see below), which is where he got the idea from, but l gave my remaining copies away at a Waterboys gig in Liverpool, unless l have a few hidden away in the garage somewhere (fingers crossed!).

Probably the most famous page from any fanzine back in the days of the punk wars, summing up the do it yourself and have a go attitude of the time. It has been repeated many times, but this page is from the Sideburns fanzine (Below).
I was re watching a documentary about Blondie last night and Kris Needs pops up giving a soundbite. Christ on a bike, age can be cruel (and l should know). He used to be the cool young journalist about town back in the day, but l do hope he's doing OK these days.
The space age is arriving at last! It's battery powered and looks mightily impressive. The new Glider transport being tried on various routes in Liverpool.

The lies and the gaslighting of Donald Trump knows no bounds, and if you don't believe he's in The Epstein Files, give your head a wobble.
I'm all for this, and it's about time. Don't get me wrong, l was a fucking idiot when l was that age and knew nothing about politics (and didn't care). However there are also a lot of old folks out there who are also fucking idiots (I still include myself) and they get to have their say. If you're old enough to work and pay taxes, you should have the right to vote on how those taxes are spent.

I haven't posted the video but it's easy to find. Trump doesn't just lie constantly, he's also losing his marbles (a technical term).
It's my mate Rocker's birthday today but he's not aging very well, which l will remind him of when we meet for drinks later today. Because that's what friends are for - taking the piss.

It's 1973 - of course it is. Roy Wood with TV's Ayshea (Lift off with..). Nothing screams what it was like in 1973 more than this cover. Also, I didn't know they were also an item for a while. Lucky man.

She cheated on her partner to go with Charles behind Dianna's back, and eventually married him. that does not make me look up to her in any shape or form and she is certainly not my queen. Abolish the monarchy!
