It's like hypnotising chickens Here for: Politics, Art, Culture, Music, Movies, Bikepacking, Paleoanth/Neanderthals, LFC. Leftish. Wrangles 2 Wire Fox Terriers. Sussex My weekly playlist:
I thought Bladerunner was set in a future dystopia, a post environmental apocalypse, not a contemporary setting.
Elvis Costello on guitar and Steve Nieve on melodica performing Watching the Detectives at their recent Hampton Court Palace gig. With the heavy twang and reverb on the guitars and the dub reggae melodica it was like Duane Eddy + Augustus Pablo. #gigs #livemusic
Thank you for sharing this. I loved watching Riberto Duran when I was a boy. I didn't know about this photo. I've subsequently found a colour version. What a moment it captures. An embrace, much like those during their bouts, but of love, compassion, mutual respect, dignity.
He's right, except he doesn't have the self-awareness to recognise that he is the vandal. All of these are the results of vandalism
This alone is enough to put him in the hall of fame, but the rest of his contribution to TV gold is also incredible.

24 years. Wow. I remembered when and where I was when I first saw this. It was 23 years ago watched on a small tv via a pirate dvd copy. I was doing a scuba dive liveaboard on The Junk - the traditional Thai boat that sails from Phuket around the Phi Phi islands. It was the evening entertainment.
Last mother's day in March, I made a special Japanese breakfast for the wife: kaisendon, the mixed sashimi rice bowl. We loved it so much we've had it every week since. I'm stuffed now, like a little pot bellied buddha. Today's Salmon, akami tuna, yellowtail, sea bream, Hokkaido scallops, ikura
Are you suggesting it's a return to the Red Room for Darwin? It's a possibility. Far too late for Shaquiri, though, even though he can dance backwards.
I've had various people say i look a bit like Robert De Niro (I don't), Sean Penn, and several times, Bono (but only when I wear certain sun glasses) But i remember in my teens, two girls on a train said they thought i was the lad off the Yellow Pages TV ad who needed a French polisher
I thought these 2 Steely Dan covers were awful, but they're OK compared to these. The art for The Royal Scam was originally made for a Van Morrison album. In the liner notes for its reissue they called it "the most hideous album cover of the seventies, bar none (excepting perhaps Can't Buy a Thrill)
"When we reach the sea, we'll build a big beautiful beautiful boat, and with it we'll sail to Cuba and take it away from the Spanish Crown. From there, we'll go on and take Canada and Greenland. I, the Wrath of God, will marry my own daughter and with her found the purest dynasty ever known to man"
No music. Just Trump talking Then he does a Tommy Cooper on stage. Curtains close, get stuck, open again, close again, open, close... Until one by one, every person leaves. Fallen chairs, popcorn, trampled flags, MAGA hats, all the trash and detritus blowin' in the wind. Now That's Entertainment!
I have The Haunted Dolls' House. I think i have the Khalil Gibran one somewhere. However, last month I did buy a new copy of The Prophet from that small but fancy tourist trap bookshop in Porto called Livraria Lello. It has its own imprint & you can exchange the entrance fee credit for a book.
So you have to be both indigenous British AND Christian? That rules me out, I'm only 4th generation & atheist. I'm assuming it rules out Boudica, too, as she was a Celtic pagan. Probably rules out all Britons prior to 3rd century AD. Then, it rules out Saxons from the 6th as German. Small window😆
So I opened the patio doors at 8.30 am, and they both ran straight to the spot of morning sun shining on the garden sofa, like a pair of holidaymakers being first to nab the hotel poolside loungers #wirefoxterriers #DogsofBlueSky #summer #UKHeatWave
