Industrial heartlands. He thinks it’s the 1920s. What a feckin idiot.

My head's spinning at the completely self-defeating circular logic involved there. What a weirdo.

Worth knowing, Cheers.

Wishinhg you all the best for the anniversary, hope you have a great day and many, more good days to come.

How To Have Sex - much-lauded coming of age film about three girls going to Malia on holiday. Pretty decent and really good central performance from Mia Mckenna-Bruce.

Imagine that in a consituency of, what?, 60,000 citizens?, he is the most dynamic and plausible candidate that they could find to represent them. Imagine being part of that particular electorate.

He'll be demainding a cut on all sales now you've admitted that. Congrats by the way, that's a brilliant achievement.

It's a winnable European quarter final why would we treat it like a rehab clinic?

He was really high up in the averages last year, espcecially in the first half of the season, and they took no notice then. Fortunately for Lancs, I think they've moved on...

Wordle in 0. Do I win a fiver?

None of them are built to last really so I would just go for a model that has the cheapest replacement ink.

Ah, sad that. He was one of those players who I saw a huge amount of when I first started watching cricket with my grandad in the early 70s.

Watched The Settlers. A Chilean kind of anti-colonial Western. Brutal, beautifully filmed. Well worth a watch.

Not a holiday as such but just a had a brilliant little break up in the Lakes. Went up first thing Friday, pub crawl round Ambleside (there's a few belting back-street boozers which I'd never seen before). Saturday we walked up to Easedale Tarn from Grasmere. Absolutely spectacular. We met a couple of women going up there - one of them had cancer and was doing a bucket list thing of wild water swmiming in the tarn. The weather up there was ferocious so hats off to them for giving that a go in those conditions. Took it a bit easier for the rest of the time but it was a great wee getaway.

Interesting. I've read a lot of Graham Greene stuff over the years but I've never picked that one up. Partly because I love the film so much. I'll maybe have a go at it some time this year.

Jeez. The endorsement from hell. Reminds me that there was a movie released a few years back and the advertising campaign on the London buses and underground was mainly based on a quote from the Daily Mail "do not let your children see this appalling, nasty film". A nice bit of reverse psychology from the ad agency.

Featuring the classic tracks "Read Them And Understand Them" and "I Never Claimed To Have Any Authority".

It's an utter mystery innit. And given they did nothing of note in their hey day it's even more mystifying that they're now regarded in some quarters as some kind of elder statesmen classic band. They were only ever liked by people who don't really like music all that much.

Whilst I applaud the joke, he's not a Christian, he's an anti-Christ.

I bet he'll really fillet after being out for sirloing.

New Jane Weaver and Kim Gordon albums have just arrived. I'll be having myself a little listening party later on.

Well worth reading but you did say 'no text books' and thy are both more academic than general reader books. Reminds me with you mentioning Alan Moor's Jersualem - I've seen that pop up on Audible a few times and it look like teh longest audio book that they have availabel - about 60 hours or so.

Yeah, my expectations were low (see my previous post about TV & film dramatisations of music stuff being generally shoite) and it has manged to live up to that. Disappointing really because it had the potential to be decent but it was a bit of a mess really, far too much going on. Like three different series all crammed into one "Thatcher's Britain" blender.

I've looked into this. Modern science has failed. Adding the wrong blood type will generally make your blood and imune system go to war with itself.

Haha - that was the first thing I said to the missus when I got home "All that time and effort no bloody biscuit!".
