andrew collins and the tories - 10 year anniversary
I put this piece by Andrew Collins on the blog 10 years ago. Things have only become worse since then.
Full article by Andrew is here.
report of stuart sutcliffe's death
Stuart Sutcliffe's death reported in the days when The Beatles were so unknown they were just referred to as a Liverpool skiffle group, and not named.

fiona cummins - when l was ten
This is one of the the books l recently purchased from the charity shop. Fiona Cummins 'When l was Ten', and a signed copy at that. Now l'm not singling her out, as a lot of other authors do the same, but if you're going to sign books, at least make an effort and make it more than a scribble. I understand it's time consuming and must be pretty boring, but come on!

keef buys his new house
When Keith Richards bought Redlands, the scene of the infamous drugs bust (and fire). As far as l know, he still owns it. It looks great, but l bet there's loads of spiders.

TREX cooking
The TREXtasy one is from 1937, but the top advert was familiar to anyone around in the 1970's.
I can't comment on what it was like to cook with this stuff, but the T.Rex band sure meant a hell of a lot more to me.

rwanda trips booked
I will make this easy for everyone. The landlord and wife are racist, and our Home Secretary, despite the fact she is black, is supporting them, because she is currently stirring up as much racial hatred as she can, to polarise and deflect.
Send all three to Rwanda, and never vote Tory.

meanwhile, in south west norfolk
This fucking country. We're talking about Liz Truss here, the woman who broke the economy, and after 13 years of the Tories wrecking everything. What more do the fuckers have to do to stop these twats voting for them? It's just as bad in Richmondshire (where l live), a safe seat for Rishi Sunak. No wonder politics annoys me.

carl cox - music is revolution
I still wouldn't mind a t-shirt with this printed on. A Carl Cox 'Music is Revolution' poster l nicked in Ibiza. One day l may get around to doing it myself (but l doubt it).
north park, bootle 1947
My relatives may well be in this picture, as they were alive at the time and only lived round the corner from here, and l spent many happy days here myself many moons ago. The rather wonderful North Park in Bootle.

a great response from ellie goulding regarding mars bars
Ellie Goulding - straight to the point with minimum fuss regarding Mars bars. However, it's a pretty minor rumour (or insult) compared to Marianne Faithfull and a Mars bar, which she then had to tolerate for years.
all hail keith richards
Once again, time to praise and acknowledge Mr Keith Richards, who rather like myself, appears to be indestructible, and at one time (with some help from Mick), was very very cool.
Remember - in front of a judge and about to be sent to prison, he famously stated "We're not old men, we're not worried about petty morals". That takes guts.
