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

RIP Mani The Stone Roses, Fools Gold Live at Heaton Park. Made of Stone DVD.

Remember the joy. What a sound bloke, in more ways than one. I've been to see him pretty much every year since 1989, so he's been one of the catalyst's for some magnificent times. Also a fellow Manchester United fan - what a lad.

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.

The Jesus And Mary Chain - Blues From A Gun (Official Music Video)

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.

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!
