Spent the day in parts of Ashton and Orrell where Labour canvassers are targeting the 16% of undecided voters in Makerfield by-election. A few observations (from a single day) I found surprising - A lot of people who voted Reform just weeks ago say they are prepared to vote for Burnham

Roman coins at the Capitoline museum. Some of the people who minted the coins put their names on them - a bit like the mastering engineer George “Porky” Peckham’s inscriptions in the run-out grooves of British records in the 1970s.

Trump has gone to great lengths to surround himself and elevate only people who will refuse to challenge him on this obvious nonsense. Part of his anger here is probably that he hears this so infrequently.

The Leslie speaker added a layer of distortion to many of the Beatles' most famous records. Although impressive at first sight, a closer look revealed a surprisingly hollow interior with poor connections. Repairing them resulted in nasty shocks and a stern reprimand from the manufacturer.

The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band performed Jollity Farm on the first episode of Do Not Adjust Your Set, broadcast on Boxing Day 1967 - the SAME DAY as Magical Mystery Tour (on which the Bonzos performed Death Cab For Cutie) was aired on BBC1.

"Allegory of Bad Government", Ambrogio Lorenzetti, 1339, Palazzo Pubblico, Siena. The state is ruled by a demon; justice is tethered and cowed at his feet; random arrests and killings; people argue, buildings collapse.

I have a student son Henry Nowak’s age & I can’t imagine what it took for his family to respond outside court with the grace they did, asking that their son’s death not be used for division and hate. That Reform & Restore chose to throw that back in their faces makes me feel sick.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.

Sonny Rollins did so much, but this is the one that came to mind first as it's laden with my own memories of the time when I was discovering life, love and a whole world of music, books and films.
