I thought “psychologically damaged” was a prerequisite for supporting Reform. www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

Bloody hell! I just realised that Christmas trees and massive garden light displays go up a week on Saturday!

Now playing something a little more upbeat: Squeeze - Essential Squeeze

Now playing Robert Fripp - A Blessing Of Tears. An album of Soundscapes that seem to fit the day’s weather.

Yet again I woke up to a message that my day has been cancelled. This is now happening too regularly and getting beyond annoying. I may have to seriously consider withdrawing my assistance to the party concerned.

Time series 3 was bloody brilliant. I defy you to not want to cry at times.

Okay! It’s time to chuck on some clothes, drive up to Morecambe and sit at a pub dining table shouting a conversation at my (even deafer than me) Dad. He never seems to have mastered lip reading.

Car passed it’s MOT again today. Couple of advisories but easy to remedy.

To all the people who are producing AI pictures/videos- consider the fact that you are chewing up the planet purely for likes. I hope you’re comfortable telling your kids how important it was to produce kitsch shit.

Good morning all. The cold that started to manifest on Friday is still stubbornly persisting, so another day of avoiding people ahead of me. Meanwhile, my first play of the day is the reissued Gathering Speed by Big Big Train.

Been playing The Fierce & The Dead - Complete Studio Recordings 2010-2023 for the past two hours. Going to have to stop now - my head is vegged, plus it’s time I ate.

I desperately need new slippers. I’ve had the same pair for years and they’ve been great, but they’re now literally falling apart and I’m having to do a geriatric shuffle in them. I’m 67yrs old but my brain thinks I’m mid-thirties and considers shopping for slippers to be for old people.

My first play of the day is Radiohead’s OK Computer because I watched an excellent film last night called Words Of War about the life and assassination of Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya. The song Lucky was played as the credits rolled.

Based on Farage’s “reasoning” making saving people at sea illegal, he should also extend that to saving people on land and add the ambulance service, fire service and surgeons to the list.

Full of a cold, aching and snotty, so I’m staying home today. Working my way through all five discs of Futurist Manifesto 1974-1978 by Be Bop Deluxe. I love this collection .

It’s only Monday, but I’ve already identified Twat Of The Week www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Is it just me? I’m getting so much shit in my feed these days. Posts on Cosplay furries, manga, trading cards, teen angst, porn and pervs, along with endless bloody animal videos, half of which are AI slop. I may have to create another account purely related to music only.

First listen on Bandcamp.com to Pattern Seeking Animal’s latest offering, Grimalkin.

For years, Stephen Lennon has asked supporters to trust him and fund him. A Channel 4 Dispatches investigation, made with HOPE not hate, has raised serious questions about his finances. I’ve added my name calling for a full investigation. Will you? secure.hopenothate.org.uk/page/199860/...

Jukes and Orr suspended for getting caught.

Cleaning staff spend more time and do more valuable work in Parliament than Fartage does!

It feels like you can’t watch a game of football without wading through annoying gambling ads. 🙄 😡It’s dangerous for young fans, and it puts a stain on the beautiful game. ⚽Find out what you can do about it. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pr...

Dolly Parton would still make a better POTUS than Trump.

The wrong 80yr old died today.

The dog I haven’t got didn’t die today. I am not upset.

Watching Big Chicken: A Fast Food Conspiracy, I was shocked to see the damage the chicken industry is doing to rivers, communities and animals. And now I’ve learned the Government wants to expand Big Chicken. I've signed the petition to stop it 👉 you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

Just gone to the fridge to get out the snack I forgot to buy.

I think the use of disposable barbecues should be permanently banned outside of the bounds of the buyer’s own property. Permit garden use only.

Chorley today

Toddling off to Middlebrook (Horwich) to buy jeans. Life can be unbearably exciting sometimes.

Currently playing: Hawkwind - Epocheclipse 30 year anthology, released in 1999.

I fucking hate selfies! They always look forty years older than I feel.

FIFA is an acronym for FIFA Is Fuck All

Really liking the new Rolling Stones album - Foreign Tongues. Can’t believe that that’s the voice of an 83 year old Jagger. Also, absolutely hate the album cover.

Well the oven hasn’t turned itself on and cooked for me, so I guess I’ll have to do it myself - AGAIN!!

Trump and Infantino on pitch: cheers turn to boos.

Can England snatch defeat from the jaws of victory?

Farage is outraged by the threats of violence on Social Media that he has spent years whipping up with his nasty,spiteful and divisive politics. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...
