cell vaults - pass the drugs

There's more than 100,000 of these psychedelic little beauties in just one of our cells. No wonder l liked Acid so much.  More information here

nigel farage on laura kuenssberg (again)

Where Nigel Farage will be held to account about his false claims of the cover up in Gorton and Denton, how he lied about local council tax being lower in Reform leaflets and how Muslims and darkies are taking over Britain and responsible for raping all our women and children, but l very much doubt it. Once again he will rant on, spouting lies and accusations without proper scrutiny from a 'journalist' who keeps platforming him and shouldn't be near a TV screen as she is so biased.

north sea gas

 As Reform and The Tories try to argue for more redrilling and 'benefits' from North Sea Gas, the reality of their own past policies is starker, and that's without taking into account the involvement and ownership of Norway. Some skeptics (not me of course) would go so far as thinking they are a bunch of lying chancers and grifters who would say anything to stir crap up. From here.

trump's signature on us bank notes

FFS. More sycophantic pandering to the man baby kiddie rapist, with a commemorative coin as an added  insult. Hope they are also going to start calling it raper money rather than paper.


It should be this.

no family voting in gorton and denton by-election

 This was just soooooo predictable under Reform's Trumplite.

How it started.


The outcome.


The Reform reaction.


Anyone would think they would deny the truth even if investigated evidence is displayed in front of them.

american madness - an update

 The news that never stops giving, even if it is so repetitive and depressing.

Nothing to see here. Just America interfering in other countries elections trying to get a right wing stooge of Putin's re-elected.



Nothing to see here. Just the FBI director (who is a fucking idiot and unsuitable and unqualified for the job) having his personal phone hacked by Iran, who (in case he has forgotten) America is currently at war with, no matter how many times Trump says the war has already been won.


Nothing to see here. Just NATO funds meant to be for the defense of Ukraine being syphoned off to the USA's own military (probably to fight Iran).

Nothing to see here. Just everyone trying to prosecute Trump being replaced in one way or another by Trumps own defense lawyer who he put in charge.




Nothing to see here. Just Republican representatives not believing in Climate Change because it's not how the 'Good Book' / The Bible ends. I mean - where the fuck do you start with this madness and how are people like this in charge of anything? 



Nothing to see here. Just Trump doing insider trading on the stock markets to enrich himself and his friends, who were tipped off about announcements 5 minutes before so they could place massive amounts of money on certainties. There's no 'possible' about it.


Nothing to see here. Just AOC pointing out that ICE officers had no reason to be masked 'for their safety' when they are unmasked in airports, although to be fair, l don't think they want to be recognized and face retribution when they are out and about shooting innocent people.



At least Joe Walsh gets it right.

vote reform in south crew with vicky shaw

Let's face it, Vicky Shaw here is leaning heavily on NHS vibes and being a caring person, when reform actually want to destroy it for private insurance healthcare to enrich their shady backers. They are a bunch of two faced twats, and a pox on all their houses, especially as l've had some great times in and around Crewe, and the last thing Crew (or the country) need is Reform in power.

More of this please, and lets get the orange kiddie rapist impeached and jailed.

winding a brother up

I can certainly relate to this kind of mischief as l used to send my brother spoof letters from the council, save eggs for a year and then replace his in his fridge etc each April fools day. We had to make our own entertainment back in the olden days.

labour's refugee plans are crap

Labour's refugee plans make me ashamed to be a Labour voter, and it has nothing to do with Socialism and helping people in need. Another foolish (and cruel) policy to try and appease Reform voters while sending Labour voters to the Green party. I despair at the idiocy of it.

grrrrr....more fucking music

I'm a man brimming with curiosity regarding interesting things, including media such as films, books and music. However, there are only so many hours in the day to indulge, so when l see a post from Birmingham 81 about swopping cds with a mate, and the accompanying picture of said cds, it drives me up the wall, as l've not heard of most of the songs or artists, and l won't be able to sleep at night unless l investigate further, as they obviously rate them. Luckily (or unluckily) a The Spotify playlist was provided. Now l just have to find the time to listen to it. Curses all round.

Playlist is  here.

me in the pub later giving up drugs

If it's Wednesday and l'm off work, it's time for Wednesday club at one of the locals. This will be me in just over an hour arguing football, politics, music and random crap from old TV shows. I picked a fine time to give up drugs.

amsterdam has museums?

I've been to Amsterdam on numerous occasions but of course because of my wannabee Keith Richards lifestyle, while l have been here l have never even glimpsed Ann Frank's house, The Tulips, or the inside of any museum (apart from a sex one). I must admit though, that the inside of the H'Art Museum does look rather splendid. By the way - l have been to many museums and art galleries over the years in various countries so l'm not a complete philistine, it's just that Amsterdam was always a place for hedonism, and it sure as hell delivered back in the day. I've also thought naked in a Roman Amphitheatre, but that's another story.

the weathermen's place is up for sale

An old post re-upped



With a really corny headline about the apartment exploding onto the market, the place that 'The Weathermen' used as their bomb making factory at 18 West 11 Street, (with the resulting accidental explosion in March 1970 a consequence) is now up for sale through  Corcoran brokers for a cool $10.9 million. Dustin Hoffman and his family narrowly escaped the blast, as they lived next door at the time.
The top photograph is me (my arm anyway) pointing at the bear in the window in 2006. This was dressed by Norma Langworthy, who his since passed away at the ripe old age of 92, but hopefully her descendants will keep the tradition going.
How time flies, and how sickening it is how gentrified New York is becoming.

the pub clientele let me down (again)

I finished work this afternoon and as l was tired, rather than watching a bit of tele and falling asleep, l met up at the pub first for a few drinks and 'entertainment' first. Once again however, it let me down.

The type of clientele l was hoping for....


Versus the reality...

another rolling stones album l now need

I'd never seen or heard of the Rolling Stones album until a couple of days ago, but because of the rather splendid photograph of the band on the cover, l now need to find myself a copy. It's not easy being an idiot collector - you've got to put the hours in.
