Oh! Not that sort of grooming gang…

Good Morning.

I’m listening to my pre-1954 playlist, then heading off for a band rehearsal.

A good day.

Gentle reminder that you don't have to fully boycott Amazon, just stop making it your default. Need socks? Lots of places sell socks. Need printer paper? Need rye flour? Many other options.

"This startup only sells through Amazon!"

Okay, buy that but don't buy the sneakers and coffee beans.

Such a shame how John Cleese suddenly dropped dead right after his speech at Graham Chapman's memorial service in 1990. With his passionate commitment to social democratic politics, European integration, and human rights, and his self-deprecating wit, he could have been a powerful voice had he lived

Onwards and upwards.
Our period of stress is easing - after a tough operation the week before last, last Friday, my wife and best friend was pronounced cancer-free.
Still got some recovering to do - but splendid news.
The lesson to learn - live life to the full, smell the flowers drink the wine. ❤️

Hey! You made it! Have a great one.

Completely agree on the sauce. The *only* acceptable sauce on a bacon sarnie is the in-house brown sauce available on Bear Bakery bacon rolls.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Lovely day for a stroll around West Kirby Marine Lake.

Mash up of Unknown Pleasures Joy Division sleeve and Neil Sedaka.

Love Will Tear Us Apart and Neil Sedaka’s version of Love Will Keep Us Together were recorded in the same studio. (Strawberry, Stockport.)

The more I hear about inverse proportion, the less I like it.

Meeting my reform pal for a pint next week - will fill you in on his hot take.

🚨BREAKING🚨 Robert Jenrick has defected from Reform to the Greens.

Poor Labour. If only Reform hadn't split their vote.

The take away for Labour on this is that they need to change course fast on hostile anti-immigration, anti-trans, anti-disabled policies if they want to avoid a humiliating defeat in the General Election. Time is running out to shift voters. It is going to take a massive mea culpa to get out of this

Jokes on you, Oxford Street had been pedestrianised for years. It just now we're telling the drivers

love a lot of things about the Brits. Like when they say "Urm" instead of "Um", or "cuppa?" Instead of "would you like a cup of tea?" Or how they "arrest pedophiles" regardless of social stature instead of "making them president." All really cute stuff.

Trans flag with the words: First they came for the transgender community, And I spoke up immediately even though I’m straight and cis because I’ve read the rest of the fucking poem.

I’d consider it.
Really struggling with my weight (lifelong but especially recently). Pure mental issue. Drugs can help but you’ve still got to reduce calories in order to lose. Like all diets, strong risk of putting it all back on. My sis lost 6 stone with NHS funded treatment. Saved her life.

My favourite subgenre of metal is "this was really cool until that guy started singing".

My wife loves dogs and has always wanted a big chocolate lab. So I bought her this.

18.00 OPENHEIMMER ALL HOURS It's been a funny old day. I came up with the deadliest know weapon known to all mankind. I said to Granville that "Now I had bbbbbbbebbbbecome ddddddeath". There was an almighty bang and I thought that was the end. Turned out to be that damned till.

This one is blowing up.
