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

the pub on wednesday
This was me entering the pub on Wednesday.
This is some of the people l met up with. No wonder it can get messy.

daily mail owner buys the telegraph
The right wing press tighten their grip, as The Mail's offshore owner Lord Rothermere buys The Telegraph. What a time to be alive. Of course l can't imagine any biased reporting and articles praising Farage, and knocking Labour, Liberals and The Greens, often with fake stories. Of course the rich are going to protect their (offshore) money and interests.
the russia / ukraine peace plan
Donald Trump, as usual, trying to broker a peace deal that gives Russia everything at Ukraine's expense. What has Putin got on him?
the toothless covid enquiry findings
So it turns out Johnson, Hancock, Cummings and the rest of the Conservative's in charge of the pandemic are responsible for thousands of extra deaths, while crony's made merry with VIP lane funds. Non of this matters unless people are held accountable and punished, which l very much doubt they will be.
Here's what l wrote at the start of the crisis. I wasn't happy with the government then, and nothing's changed since. I'd also just been to the funeral of a care home resident l'd worked closely with for many years.

record price for a superman comic
Christ on a bike! I wish my granny had stored some old comics in the attic. Mind you, the temperature in Liverpool might have affected the condition, as it's certainly not Californian, even at the best of times, so no matter what she may have stashed away, it wouldn't have been a grade 9, plus l wouldn't have been up there searching, as l'd be too wary of spiders. Once again - l blame God.

the kanozero petroglyphs
For some reason or other l find it fascinating and very relaxing looking at these old rock carvings from the far north of Russia, known as The Kanozero Petroglyphs. They're about 5,000 years old, so maybe it's an old message from my long forgotten ancestors. Whatever it is that draws me to such things, l bet they had a very hard life, that would be unimaginable for a softie like me in my overflowing cocoon. Pictures are from here

my mood watching present day politics
It must be a lot easier if you get up in the morning, do whatever you are doing with your day, and enjoy yourself in the evening, without really engaging with whats going on in the real world at this present time, politics wise. Rather sadly though, l'm not one of those people, so there are many things out there that get on my nerves (to say the least), including with The Labour Party, who l usually support. No wonder l drink. I blame God.

donald trump - quiet piggy
Everybody already knows that Trump is a misogynistic, bullying, narcissistic sex offender, so this will make little difference to his core base. However it does demonstrate that if he's prepared to put down women like this in front of the media, imagine how he treats them behind closed doors.

Despite the fact that John Lennon has his eyes closed, this is still a great photograph.

hanoi rocks / johnny thunders at the mayfair, newcastle
How many years ago FFS? A great gig and l got to go backstage with The Heartbreakers but as was the case in those days, never had a camera with me and got no autographs.

ultra rare velvet underground album
I've many Velvet Underground goodies, and have been a fan for many, many years, but have never seen this album out in the wild before. Think l will be putting in a substantial bid for it, and may even take out a loan to do so. Wish me luck!

a face in an aberdeen angus beef steak
How could you possibly cook and eat this? On second thoughts it looks like Putin, so yep - l'd get stuck in (with relish).

times square is looking good
Now this is the sort of message l like to see displayed. Well played to whoever is responsible.

seizing asylum seekers jewellry
I hope this isn't true, but if it is, and speaking as a lifelong supporter, Labour can fuck off.

My face* in the pub when people tell me they are voting Reform because of 'stop the boats' but are not racist.
