Who else turns off the radio on Sunday morning as soon as Cerys Matthews comes on #6music. Asking for a friend.🙂
Thoroughly enjoying the Cardianals album at the moment. 10 out of 10 for the music boys, but a poor 1 out of 10 for the packaging, surely we should get more than a thin carboard sleeve for our dough.🙄

"He does not deserve the benefit of the doubt. He does not deserve his war to be assessed charitably. He deserves our contempt."
He's basically saying "the only good Johnny Towelhead is a dead Johnny Towelhead". Trump brings a whole new meaning to the word insane.
A fascinating article which had me gnashing and gnawing as I read.
And he is correct in his final conclusion, we are being gaslit, on a massive scale.🙄
Nobody's perfect, but some people are less perfect than others. I'd be unapologetic in declining an invitation to that dinner party.🙄
To paraphrase indie pop group the Kaiser Chiefs, everyday I love this world less and less.🙄
Vladimir Putin starts a war in Ukraine and Russia immediately becomes an international pariah, sanctioned, and banned from taking part in any international sporting events; Donald Trump starts a war with Iran and the world is asked to join in, and go to the FIFA World Cup in the US. Unbelievable. 🙄
For International Women's Day, a small selection of my favourite international women, and some provincial ones too.🙂

Was reading about A Very English Chat today, a campaign to identify things that represent the diverse nature of modern Englishness. Here's my 5 choices.
1. The pork pie.
2. The band XTC.
3. Village cricket in beautiful locations.
4. The Lake District.
5. William Wordsworth.

Not sure about anybody else, but following the horrible mess unfolding in Iran and the wider region, makes me feel physically sick. I'm convinced Trump has concocted this war, because Iran is an easy target, but also to demonstrate his strong arm approach to the other nations he has in his sights.☹
Too right.👍
Manchester by The Times. The lyrics feature, Morrissey, Tony Wilson, Hooky, Stone Roses, Hacienda, Hang the DJ, 808 State. It's the most Manc Manchester song there is.🙂
Why is it, when I switch over to the Winter Olympics, I can't help but think it's just posh kids playing out. Probably because that's exactly what it is.🙄
She's not beating Elena tonight though.🙂
Wow, that French pair's ice dance was incredible, not what I would describe as sport, but beautiful all the same.🙂
I'll say this again, it's not the immigrants ruining the world, it's the mega rich, not paying their taxes, coveting their wealth, and doing fuck all good with their money and power that's ruining it. Immigrants are not the cause of a troubled and unequal world, they're a consequence of it.🙄
I don't quite get winter sports, mostly it's just people sliding around on stuff, fractionally faster or slower, wearing different coloured bodysuits. I could probably watch curling forever and still not understand it. I did enjoy the short track speedskating today though.🤔
That single is one of the first records I ever bought. It blew my 13 year old mind.🙂
Go Bruce.👊
Never a truer word.
Ha ha ha! Another failed Tory politician defects to Reform UK. What a circus. Anybody who thinks this motley band of rouges, snakes, vipers, and self-interested backstabbing has-beens have got their back, is more deluded than I originally thought.🙄
Lies, deceit, betrayal, backstabbing, even murder, truly horrible human characteristics, so why do we celebrate them in a TV entertainment show called The Traitors, especially against a backdrop of a world sliding quickly into a moral sewer. Is it just me? Am I missing something?🤔
“Danish citizens are organising a huge boycott that includes cancelling planned holidays in the US, cancelling subscriptions to on-demand services based in the US & more generally, recommending the use of EU services instead of those provided by American platforms.”
So, same as Canadians.
In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.
American friends, please tell, how is insulting NATO war dead and their bereaved families making your country great again? You're president is a fucking moron, and your country a disgrace. Yours, an angry Brit.👎
2026, 9 days old and it already sucks.🙄
Brand new year, same old story of Britain grinding to a halt under a couple of millimeters of snow.🤣🤣🤣
A selection of my favourite albums of 2025. In no particular order.
