You'd think the fact alone that someone died in Bristol after falling off a ladder putting one up might have given BCC pause for thought as to whether it's a good idea to allow members of the public to scale lamp posts to hang personal posessions from them.

Mark Kermode may rave about this movie, but for me it was just two annoying hours of blokes shouting at each other - with a truck on a rope bridge. Sorry.

I saw that 'GB News' post too, and, authentic or not, it was amusing to see the volume of pro-Reform bot responses it generated...

I still have a few of those books tucked away somewhere. I haven't looked at them in a long while, but pretty sure this isn't one of them. I wouldn't have made the connwction between the card illustrations and the Ladybird books at the time. I'll have to dig those books out now!

They should go on tour with Gorillaz...

Happy New Year, from Clevedon Pier...

27, or thereabouts. Memory isn't so great about some of those early to mid '90's Reading Festival attendances, for various reasons...

Low Winter sun over the Mendips yesterday, near Priddy.

The Saints '73-78' at Bristol Trinity Centre 21st Nov 2025. A phenomenal sound, and great to hear those classics played with such vigour...

Not exciting for me. I recall rushing home from school to watch new favourite tv show Scooby Doo, only to find the house without electricity due to a blackout. The concept of a power cut was beyond my understanding, and I simply cried in bewildered disappointment.

Yesterday proved that West Penwith always has something new to offer, as I visited 3 ancient sites I'd not been to before; Caer Bran, the Blind Fiddler standing stone and Trelew standing stone (guarded by some feisty horses!). #StandingStoneSunday #WestPenwith #Cornwall #ancientmonuments

NME used that image as their front cover once, around May 1978.

An interesting decision by UA to release this as their first Buzzcocks offering. They would have known full well that there was ever any hope of any mainstream airplay, or even of any reference to its title...

1st November at Trinity Centre, Bristol - final night of the Lovely Eggs 20th Anniversary tour. Cracking...

Thank you so much for sharing this info. I wondered where all the trolls had suddenly come from today...

This appears to be an indication that Labour are finally acknowledging the Brelephant in the Room...

Slaughter and the Dogs...

Autumn splendour starting to come through at Dyrham Park yesterday.

The ECHR was Britain’s response to WW2 fascist regimes. With authoritarianism on the rise again, we’d be mad to give up the protections it provides. Tell your MP we won’t let that happen! actionstorm.org/petitions/pr...

Theatre Of Hate - Thekla, Bristol, 5th October 2025

Although very much a part of the original Punk explosion, the music of X-Ray Spex is timeless, and easily transcends the 'punk' label. Always cherished and never forgotten...

The 9 largest solar panel manufacturers in the world [2025] Discover which companies are producing the highest number of solar panels around the world, ranked from ninth to first.

I think China is very aware that the future lies in renewable. If you take a look at this list, you will see that the 6 largest manufacturers of solar panels are all Chinese companies. Plus, some hope in that China frequently exceeds its set targets.

For me, the last truly great Ramones album...

Great selection - I bought 3 of those titles at time of publication (and still have my copies!).

This #DemocracyDay, I'm calling for an end to the outdated 'First Past the Post' voting system, and for the introduction of Proportional Representation #PRnow

The cub scouts also used to call door-to-door selling hot cross buns at Easter, I recall...

A case of "the chickens coming home to roost"?
