Charade (1963)

Wonderful stuff, Brand new from @exilepots.bsky.social open.spotify.com/track/58rXfk...

I understand the pressures on the BBC, but Radio 4's coverage of the Minneapolis shooting is an example of "bad balance". It's all "the Trump regime says she was a terrorist, but Democrats say it was murder". The BBC has the footage. It doesn't have to treat truth and falsehood as equally valid.

Back to work!

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

Made a new playlist

I was always unimpressed by the way the Viet Nam was bad because Americans were being killed in it and nothing else.

It's gonna get nippy out. Maybe a bit of the white stuff incoming. Best lose yourself in some Exile Pots. @exilepots.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADRh...

Go round the outside.

No chance until Starmer and Reeves are gone. A pair of over promoted clueless neoliberals, out of their depth and titing about pretending they know what they're doing.

All the best, etc.

From this day in 2022.

Bring the whole edifice down on their unworthy heads, John.

So Robin Ince has to resign for basically being a decent human being but Sharron Davies still commentates on the swimming?

The kind .. you find … in a second hand store

Interesting thread.. Guy who looks like Ray Reardon in the pin-stripe suit is saying.. "Oh God ! Here comes Derek from Accounts.. Let's cross over."

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’

They look like Dick Tracy villains

This is ace, have a listen

If you see this, quote with your model of masculinity

The Express is furious about this because the moment you show those who repeat anti-immigration rhetoric the real human stories their narrative collapses. The “immigrants” are people. Our friends, colleagues and family. And it’s this nation of neighbours that is what makes Britain great.

I guess a few of you will remember when the streaker craze started. There was even a lad at my senior school who was, in dear ol' John Arlott's mind, a "freaker" (from my book, Made in Luton).

Smaller "hit box". Or so I'm lead to believe & use as an excuse.

Wife bought me one last Christmas... I was cock a hoop.

Here is the link of the original creator that made it. It’s a standard annual treat in my house/car/general vicinity every year around this time!

The 50 wealthiest families own more wealth than the bottom 50% of the population. How can this Labour Government say this is a "cost of living" budget and refuse to tax the rich? They care about protecting power and wealth. And cost of living is a buzz phrase for them. Dire.

The 3,400 years old Lion Gate of Hattusa, capital of the Hittites in modern Turkey. The Hittites seem often forgotten amongst the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans, but they were one of the first great European/Asia Minor civilizations. turkisharchaeonews.net/object/lion-...

Wow, he looks just like him!

Drew a few more of these…
