Last night in Barnsley for a while. Next week Warrington, still at least there is a brief interlude at home in between. Looking forward to getting back to the guitars and Scalextric for a bit of R&R. Looking forward to having some non takeaway food too 🙄

Thank God for Britain’s lost masterpieces…..a little bit of sanity on a Monday night on my 10th week working away. Much needed fix of normality 👌🏻

Enough is enough . Travel over 3,000 miles to get away from things , walk in the bathroom and they are still at it ….

The next televised Mr Benn was Balloonist. Here is the Fabulous Ray Brooks narrating: youtu.be/oiXSZTdRDAo?...

Little wins. Tonight I put on a pair of jeans I bought in 1993, haven’t worn them since about 1995. And yes people, I can still get into them, and they fit just fine 👌🏻

Fucking awesome. With a few blasts of red spray paint you can turn the English flag into the Dead Kennedys logo As the band said: Nazi punks, fuck off!

Nigel Molesworth

Instead of Lucy Connolly's wretched words, maybe we should focus on those of Bebe's grandfather. She was one of the little girls murdered in Southport.

Coming soon! 🧠 Beginning Tuesday 9th September, 8:05pm THE MIND OF MR J.G. REEDER (1969-71) Starring #HughBurden #WilloughbyGoddard Classic TV series #TPTVsubtitles

youtu.be/Ekf361hk5eA?... I haven’t done my usual show this time around coz I had an itch to do a Wayne Fontana Special ! Something I have wanted to do for a while and now it’s been done ! If you only know his big hits and are curious why I bang on about him it’s all here !

Why is the Stourbridge Town to Stourbridge Junction line not a major tourist attraction?

I am deceased 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Tonight I’m going for a curry in Hoyland 👍

Keep Your Soul Together (1973) by Freddie Hubbard. Lovely tinkling laid back vibe until “Spirits of Trane” when they all breakout into a freedom dance.

It should be called Ermintrude.

Badly taken photo of a monument in Barnsley

Started a new job. Third week, working up near Sheffield. Pleased to say I haven’t forgotten anything…..been a while, but I’m happy just to be back on the tools

IT'S HERE!! The CD version of the recent 28 track comp will also be available from theprimitives.bigcartel.com next week.

A man contacts Van der Valk to inform him he has killed his wife... #BarryFoster is VAN DER VALK (1972) 8:05pm with #SusanTravers #MichaelLatimer 'One Herring's Not Enough' #TPTVsubtitles

Back on solid ground with this utterly brilliant comp of “second wave” Prims. ❤️

Was it Confucius or Buddha who said “try to be less of a cunt, then you won’t have to spend your life apologising”? Any Chinese classics or Buddhist scholars on here?

This looks like a Lancia 037 on steroids…..must be at least 1.5 times the size. 😳

Alpine Renault. Dig the fins man 👌🏻

Looking decidedly miserable in me Ronnie the Plonk shirt considering I’m having such a great time 😂

Always check the car park…..

It’s started 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Oops…….

Yesterday I was approached by an English guy at Le Mans, who started off by talking to me in French…..he was shocked when I replied in English….and then apologised for thinking I was French.🤔 I think I’m having that…..even if it was a partially backhanded comment 😉

First proper Lancia of the weekend spotted just below the Dunlop bridge, in the Tetre Rouge side. One for @jaynemoobs.bsky.social for the weekend 😉

Aye, aye driven by a local lad…..👌🏻

917K without the barriers in the way 😉

Tyger Tyger, burning bright, In the forests of the night; What immortal hand or eye, Could frame thy fearful symmetry? Another of Coventry’s finest

Today, I will mostly be supporting the Chevrons and the Lola T70’s

French Ice cream van…..❤️

Hote de France, where John Wyer based the Aston and the GT 40 teams in the 50’s and 60’s, and right on queue, GT40 has pulled up 😉

Playmobil Mod ✊🏻

Guess what I found in the French Supermarket in the aisle next to the one with Val’s old knickers in it

Missed out the “mi” in the middle…..then I would have been sold 😉

Both fun. One slightly (!) wilder, one much more civilised and far less exhausting. Both get you there in roughly the same time. Both make you smile, but one does so without trying to kill you 🤔

A little bit of brutalist in the French countryside

A least French farmers are honest

Trip so far in the MX-5 has been an absolute revelation, everything is just so much easier and far less tiring than in the seven. What an absolutely wonderful, well thought out package 🫡

Right, off to France again tomorrow for the Le Mans Classic. Really, really looking forward to this, the last before they re arrange it into a historic one year and a classic the next. I love the grids as they are in the 6 categories, c types, d types GT40’s, Lola’s, Chevrons, Bentleys with…

Mounted police attacking a female bystander during the miners’ strike, Orgreave, June 1984 by John Harris. The police had just beaten a miner terribly and she had taken a photo so they attacked her. They later claimed this photo was doctored and that it didn’t happen.

Unbelievably, I’ve just noticed a completely incongruous Austin 1100 in the film Magnum Force. 😳

Back from Le Mans. Great time as usual, worth it just to hear the glorious noise made by the Valkyries…didn’t do too badly as it happens, but wow, what a fantastic noise

"Because I know what you did and I'm proud to admit it I was out in the street, I was strangely committed To my left, to my right, on all fours and forsaken On your hind legs you beat us And I hope that you're proud, Soldier Blue" m.youtube.com/watch?v=w9FF...

BBC #r4today (tentatively): We now have daily reports of Israeli forces shooting & killing civilians as they try to collect aid in Gaza. Maybe the system is not working? Israeli govt spokesperson: Why are you spreading Hamas propaganda? BBC: This is an IDF report Israeli: *total meltdown*
