Gasping but somehow still alive This is the fierce last stand of all I am Please keep me in mind Damn this song is so good. Beautiful, light yet startling. Everything that was great about The Smiths in 3 minutes. Blimey

Eleven years ago, I wrote to Tom Stoppard to ask about this coup de théâtre from 1949. It took me down an unexpected rabbit hole - in memory of Stoppard, here's what I found.

So much meat on my timeline this morning! Aargh.....

#B-SidesandBonusTracks #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Day 29 The Smiths - Oscillate Wildly One of the most pivotal bands of my teen years & another of the legendary B-side bands.. even their arguably most iconic track was originally a 12" B-side FFS. This one is bereft of the singer, I wonder why?

new allegation concerning Farage’s behaviour when he was 18 years old

My mum ordered a new freezer from AO and when the delivery van came, it did not have a tail lift - apparently the company won't pay for them The two guys were expected to lift freezers, washing machines etc off the back of the van themselves...which does not seem safe This guy can GTFO

Don't fall for this shit

This is NOT a picture of a young Farage with a National Front leader, apparently.

If you happen to be around Crystal Palace Park next weekend I will have a stall at this art fair. I will likely be bored out of my mind and cold and depressed from not selling anything so please come and say hi.

Still can't quite believe that "I only said 'gas the Jews' in a non-hurtful way" was the strategy Nigel Farage opted to go for

Remembering Harshita Brella this evening. 💔 #JusticeForHarshita

I love a sonnet. The octave, general in terms, listing the necessities love fails to provide. Then in the sestet, more personal, and challenging the idea that ‘Love is All’. But even with that, at the end, the poet does not think she would trade or sell it for solace. #poetry #poemoftheday

Been asked some questions about my likelihood of developing lung cancer, as an ex smoker. "What age were you when you started?" (Thinks....does that crafty puff of an Italian cigarette over the rec. with my mate Claudia, count....💭)

Astonishing: Newly released Epstein estate documents show Jeffrey Epstein was texting Rep. Stacey Plaskett during a congressional hearing, feeding her lines she then asked on the record.

This is right up my straße! Found by my mate @edbx1970.bsky.social theelongknights.bandcamp.com/album/satisf...
