AI mistakes with boris on a train
Spot the AI mistakes. This threw me for a minute or two and so l didn't notice the obvious. Well played.

the green's victory has gone down well
As expected, the usual suspects and Reform have taken the Green Party victory pretty badly and have thrown their toys out of the pram and gone full on Trump with their accusations. Hopefully a wake up call for Labour to stop cosplaying at being Reform lite, call out racists and hate speech for what it is, and become more left wing, but rather sadly, l can't see that happening.
Oh - Farage probably knows but is still willing to stir up hate and division, the Churchill statue was daubed by a Dutchman.

the martian spiderwebs
Scientists. Please don't use the 'spiderwebs' term, it freaks out people like me who are scared of spiders and to whom they conjure up horrific images, so stick to 'boxwork'. They may well be on Mars, but that is not far enough away.
Full article is here.

the blind refugee found dead after buffalo police encounter
A nearly blind refugee got lost and was then beaten and left 5 miles from home by police, after being arrested and tasered (he couldn't understand English). A trained officer would not have acted in this way, and perhaps the person found him in her porch could have offered assistance, rather than calling the police. Obviously he was also charged with assault and possession of a weapon (a curtain rod he used as a walking aid.
More on the story is here.

heading to the pub after a dry spell
Due to work commitments and suchlike, l've not been out to the pub for a week or so and missed the usual get togethers. However, as l'm now off, there's a catch up starting at 3pm, and by 4pm l shall be gesticulating and berating my mates rather like in the picture below (The Orator by Martin Lewis 1916). They know what to expect (and they love it).

drone webs freak me out
As if it's not bad enough living in a war zone, these old drone cables make it look like it's also infected by giant spiders. My worst nightmare.

the country's broke
Don't talk to me about austerity and having to cut corners when people live like this through an accident of birth. Not my king (or future kings).

bryan ferry lets himself down
Much as l'm a fan of Roxy Music and Bryan Ferry's usual sartorial elegance and taste, this outfit is wrong. So wrong. Mind you, he's probably counting his money in one of his mansions with a beautiful lady by his side, and l'm sitting at home typing this, so who's the winner in life? No wonder l drink.

the greenland hospital boat - another epstein distraction
Once again, the orange sex pest child rapist tries to distract from The Epstein Files. Greenland / Denmark's health care is free and better than the USA version.

What a photograph the original is, but we've all been there back in the day.

Much as l can't stand JFK Junior. he's pretty toned. All that cocaine and heroin must have done him some good. Mind you, our British version is a bit shit.
Our sad version.

international times - left half bruce lee
From when Manchester United were much worse than they are today (1974). And yes, my MP was probably a pervert.

frank collins - baptism of fire
I was recommended this book by a mate who served with Frank Collins and although it will not go down as one of my favorites, it was still pretty interesting, especially his transaction from SAS fighter to a man of God. However, knowing he took his own life the year after publication made the last page pretty poignant.
