At first, I thought that they all had golf clubs!

What a Croc!! 🙂

Head still full of recent visit to the city of York, and the start of the Witching Season:

"Infest my home at night
They are not alright
Ten times my age
One tenth my height

Our city hobgoblins
Our city hobgoblins..."

The very same 👍

I used to wonder if I was being too harsh in my opinions of some bands, Cast being one. Mrs S was quite fond of them and several others of their oevre...whatever the hell their oevre was. Snow Patrol: there's another.

I gave up reading the music press in '92. This, however, rings incredibly true.

Great actor.

After appearing in The Producers as Lorenzo St DuBois, he married Deirdre before running a few South American banana republics.

Good to see he's doing well for himself 👍

War, whatever Forest Trump says, continues...

"Got struck by the first volley
Of the war in the corps
Never held my service
Send 'em a wire
Give 'em my best
This ammunition never rests
No one serves coffee
No one wakes up..."

"Would you like some extra pepper and mozzarella with that, Sir?"

Going to see Heartworms there in a couple of months 🙂

A collage of some of my products: art prints with record players, books and brutalist architecture, a teal T-shirt with cassette tapes, 70s patterned cushion, orange patterned phone case, cassette mug, and a spiral design slipmat.

I’m Gail, a one woman business, based in Manchester.
I create prints, homewares & cards inspired by midcentury design, music and architecture.
Have a look gailmyerscough.co.uk

He was a bit jealous/touchy, wasn't he?! 🙂

"You've cut my income by one third...", which, I know, was about Suede. But, fuck me, the mimickery being the highest form of flattery sure didn't wash with him!

Malkmus at maximum mysterioso! I admit to being slightly obsessed with this song upon purchase 🙄

"Fun for an hour when the hour's gone
Can one trick nights feed 40 days?
In my bed at the break of dawn
She shivered like a vein slashed bright and new..."

Tbf, that sounds a good line-up.

I do, however, have a real aversion to reality shows. I knew one of the contestants on 'Castaways': a real piece of work who showed himself to be exactly that. A mate of his was on Blind Date. Didn't get picked! 🙂

No matter what the cast, you couldn't pay me...

Ok. I'll start:

Phillip Schofield
Nadine Dorries
Ryland Clark
A Love Island contestant
The Welsh tenor bloke from the Go. Compare adverts
Someone just about to be fired from Strictly
Someone just about to be fired from a baking prog
Timmy Mallet

Am I close? 🤔

Good old Jon, traumatising the youth of Australia for kicks. Aussie Saturday tv was never the same again.

Can you imagine how incredibly fired whoever thought that the Blues Explosion were good kids televisual fayre was, and probably still is? The producer has only just stopped screaming...

I recently asked a girl in a local chemist's if I could have a consultation for an ear infection. She said yes: £15.

"Isn't it free for over 60's?" I asked, at which she laughed. Then her face dropped:

"Shit! You're serious, aren't you?! I thought you were joking!!"

That girl will go far! 😄

Next, they'll say it should've been fuct checked...

🤔

Isn't that just me in a fur coat?🤔

🙂👍

Iconic.

Dem Small Faces blokes were quite good, too! 😋

"Tis sad to relate
That the Skate cannot skate
At sea, he lies on the bottom
In waters chill
He lies quite still
Until a fisherman's got 'im.

Such a sad, sad fate
For the non-skating Skate!"

Gotta love Spike ❤️

Love the a cappella version he sang in the 'Rockers' film.

🤔

Man, I saw that in 1980! 45yrs ago!! 😲

Arranging death! 😬

"I can see the lines open shutters
And the leaves flocked on a grid
That's what they made my hero say
But nothing gets me off so completely
Then, when you put it down
Ten feet down in the ground
Call it response
Negative home..."

Very good stuff from Sadiq Khan at the Labour Irish society event. He said there are two reasons he loves coming to Labour Conference.

“One is the reception at the Labour Party Irish Society reception.

“The second is to get away from all the Sharia Law in London”

Several cultural references there. The iconic Fiat 500 outside E. Pellicci, one of if not the oldest breakfast cafe in London.

Great portrait 👍

Malta, Ian. Nice break 👍

And not from Krakow!

No, no! We're thinking of Krakow next year, too!!

Currently on our way home. Sadly 😕

Krakow is on our list, too.

As I type, 'Last call for flight (something or other) to Krakow...' comes over the airport tannoy! 🙂
