International embarrassment DOTUS grinning at the cameras while a bloke tried to drag him off was funny, but Morecambe & Wise were funnier.
Hyde Park just doesn’t have the image it had when I first moved to London in 1975. Every time I go anywhere around there now it feels tacky, soulless & grubby. She’s welcome to it. I wouldn’t live there if I was paid to.
If I lived in the Cotswolds I think ‘good riddance’ might be more apt? 🫤
Our water has been restored after 2 day’s outage. Meanwhile #SouthEastWater test supplies to prevent it giving customers the shits 🫣
Reminded me of the light that streams through the windows in Notre Dame . . . . This was pre-renovation . . .
Oddly old fashioned but pristine BT phone box of the month - platform 3, Tonbridge Station. I thanga yew 💅🏼
Could I respectfully suggest that #apple employs somebody British to help them with their software’s usage of English language, grammar and punctuation? Thank you and good afternoon. 💅🏼
Oh yeah? And what exactly do they intend to do to save humanity when they find it? Order 2 extra pints, cancel Bridge and get the cat in? 💅🏼
I’m afraid what did Libs for me was this. I just can’t ever forget what they did in order to give themselves some power. And look what it led to. I will only ever vote for them tactically. And I’m sick of voting tactically. Where I live my vote is always a total waste. Sadly 😶
Disgraceful. I’d have given them one of my looks - and I am unanimous in that
Hotel Brekkie 3: Japanese lady sat next to us with huge plate of just about everything Scrambled egg, jam, ham, sausages, yoghurt, granola, tomatoes and fresh apricots. Poignantly there was one Madeleine plonked on top like a cakey tombstone. I couldn’t look 🤮
Hotel Brekkie 1: Woman in huge black sunglasses (& the double of Ab Fab’s Huki Muki) tottered in with a tray full of breakfast. Unable to see, she crashed into a table spilling everything. She simply left the tray on someone else’s table, removed her glasses, took a banana & fucked off
Sadly, Maxim’s was full & we couldn’t get a reservation for our last night even by crinkling a 5 euro note under the Maitre D’s nose. So we are dining at the finest Chinese gaff we could find within walking distance of l’hotel A bientôt Paris. À la prochaine ☺️ 🥵
Continuing theme. Pic 1 is me in 1979 - & 2nd me today in Jul ‘26. That 1st one was taken by my then bf whom I can’t name for special reasons! I was 21 & it was an exceptionally happy time for me. In my head I haven’t changed at all. 😎🪭😎
How to appreciate great art - No.2 ‘Push in, take a photo and walk away’ 😫
1976 vs 2026 - older, fatter, balderer but still here. That summer with my dearest friend Judit. We had little money but loved Paris. And I still do 50 years later
When the subject is more important than the painting? 2 seconds before I took this she was doing the V sign. Yet more tourist twattery in front of the greatest artworks on earth. 🫤
Because you’ve travelled halfway across the world to witness the opulent decadence of the Sun King’s Palace - and somehow it’s all about you. 😶 *head hits table.*
