Very intolerant of ageists, misogynists,racists etc Used to be @Jackhughes7 on the bird site and @ginaj.bsky.social Retired pedantic old bat. Art history sort of person. Save the NHS because if we don't no one will save us. European 4eva.
Popular entertainment in 1970-72. Everyone said 'Ooh, it's terrible' or 'Ooh, it'll never happen'. And most did nothing.
Blimey. Just noticed this on a summer playlist. (The Simple Things, August edition) Taking me right back to the days of 'Brixton Cat' in 1969, a basement flat in Brighton.
Yes I KNOW it's not 'terror' but 'terroirs', but it gave me a passing thought that this should be drunk whilst watching 'The Goalkeeper's Fear of the Penalty' (Wim Wenders 1972)
Fire. A great servant and a terrible master. No evidence that this fire was arson, but to those who set any fires, you need help, because you kill!
Have you noticed his tie has a fishy motif? If I thought he had a sense of humour, I'd stop thinking it had been sponsored.
Keir Hardie became Britain’s first socialist MP when he won the seat of West Ham South on this day in 1892 (Getty)
Major Jason Watson of the US air force called for the impeachment and removal of Donald Trump and JD Vance on the steps of the US Capitol on Wednesday.
Alexa. Show me a fucking idiot who writes drivel for money. She's a crap journalist. And she's a danger. Get rid of her.
Advert in my co-ed school mag in 1960 from the Midland Bank sums up why feminism+equal opportunity were needed for us. Particular attention to the note to the right of the salaries. (I actually applied to the Midland at Poultry HQ years later and was offered Foreign Desk, I turned it down.)
Re-listening the entire Slow Horse canon. I enjoy the sniping at Brexit and all the crap attached. (Thanks QuoteFancy)
Bit easier to read. still chilling. And horribly familiar. I recall a member of HM Forces posting up that Harry was a traitor and should be hanged. His crime. The woman he married.
(I'm ancient - too many to relate) It's not cricket (1949) at The Lido Cinema, West Ealing The Dam Busters Dunkirk Exodus Jailhouse Rock The Music Man Dr Zhivago Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid Bonnie and Clyde Love Story (the 1970 one)
The Medusa cactus has flowered after several years. It was a gift from someone who said that once you have this plant, you never get rid of it. (I don't want to, but it proliferates; ask our friends and neighbours).
Yes. Simply yes. Go. I can be as spiteful as you, Sarah, so piss off and don't come back, you nasty piece of work .
I'm still sick of the fact that the UK voted to kill itself. (And I'm old and voted Remain.)
Pretty dull poster for the new film of : "The Mistress, The King, The Felon and the Sex Worker."
