youtu.be/VFFRyLyE7BI?... Happy Birthday, David Sylvian...🖤

Mango...absolutely revolting...

I don't think my neighbour's cat is a fan of mid period Nick Cave... 60 seconds of Papa Won't Leave You Henry, and she's left the room...

This last couple of months has been a never ending list of horrible appointments, worry and annoying stuff to do... It's been like wading through treacle... Thankfully it seems to be coming to an end... As long as nothing else crops up...😬💀

Finally going to try and tackle the frankly insane sounding, The Master and Margarita... It sounds very appealing tbh...

Gorgeous gorgeous blue skies...💙💙💙💙

When you actually want an American loon to shoot someone they're always crap at it...🙄

Here to wish a happy 25th birthday to one of my own novels! The Rotters' Club, published 22 February 2001. None of us are getting any younger ...

The thing is, none of the reinvention is true. They *haven’t* stood up to Musk, and in practice they still boost his platform by staying on X. They haven’t shifted one iota on immigration, they immediately appealed the Palestine Action decision, and so on and so on. Starmer 2.0 is Starmer 1.00001

This is why I hate EF's work... I mean I really really hate it...💀

Stop telling me what Wuthering Heights is really about. You haven’t got a clue.

OK, film lovers... Did anyone use MovieMail? They'd slipped my mind despite the fact at one point I bought most of my films from there... Now I've been reminded of them I'm having a pang... Didn't they get taken over and then they went crap, as the story goes with so many things...

BBC News - Warwickshire councillors defect from Reform UK to Restore Britain - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... When Reform aren't quite Right wing and hateful enough for you...

Yeah, sex is good, but have you ever had a massive in depth conversation with someone you've known for 30+ years? 😬

Fixed the Question Time logo for them.

Remembering the late Kurt Cobain, who would have been 57 today.

Winter, day 5972...💀

Home to yet more vinyl post... I had this album at the time, but I swapped it, along with a couple of other albums for a coat... Damn my clothes obsession... I'd always meant to replace it... Well done me... It's only taken me 30 something years...😬

Anyway... When is it going to be the turn of the orange c*nt?

OFF WITH HIS COCK!

I bet he's sweating now...

BBC reporting that Andrew Mountbatten Windsor has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office. There is no precedent for a senior member of the royal family being placed under arrest in modern British history. A seismic moment for the monarchy.

What sticks out to me watching any number of fake AI movie trailers or scenes from films people post proudly on twitter insisting it’s “the future“, is that specifically what these people’s idea is of movies, what they think passes as good, is something entirely defined by shit like marvel movies

2026 basically

#nowplaying Completely wonderful... And somehow perfect this February morning...🖤

Very nearly had to do the 30 mile round trip to my parents this morning just to hang the phone up as my dad hadn't hung the phone up after I called him... Fortunately my mum spotted it in time...😬 I'm a bit tired...💀

RIP Tom Noonan A gifted writer, director & actor. His portrayal of Francis Dolarhyde in Manhunter was unforgettable. It was deeply sympathetic, nuanced & disturbing. You felt for the deeply damaged human being inside the monster. This scene in particular is extraordinary: youtu.be/y07Z8YVbjbs?...

The Lovers (mid 20thc) by Remedios Varo, Catalan-Mexican para-surrealist painter and anarchist #WomensArt

BBC Radio 4 - Archive on 4, The Art of Habit share.google/iuWAfX8VXHbs... This is such a fascinating programme... (Thank god I still have a dab radio...😬)

Spring Moonlight, The Garden St Margarets: acrylic on linen

Sunlight On The Bedroom Curtains" acrylic on linen

I wish I could fill my house with @ianarchie.bsky.social's paintings...💙💙💙

We'd practically eradicated these dangerous childhood illnesses years ago... Then came the internet and gullible idiots doing their own 'research' and sharing 'facts'...☠️

youtu.be/M7JEWRfl9qA?... At this point I don't think I could live without hearing The Clientele... 💙💙💙💙

good morning

youtu.be/1GJ39ltMCUE?... #nowplaying I've always loved this album but it's crept up on me in a strange way and now I really really love this album...💙

I know we're teetering on the edge of Spring now... God, it can't come quickly enough!!!

La jetée, Inverness.

Kessock Bridge from Carnarc Point, yesterday in Inverness.

I think we could all be saved from a lot of the discourse about "Wuthering Heights" if we just universally acknowledged that Emerald Fennell is basically a completely shit, shallow filmmaker and she produces godawful films... The End...😬💀

This is probably going to be common knowledge and I'm years behind as usual, but, I was just reading about Roger Quigley from The Montgolfier Brothers, and I found out his brother is Pearce Quigley... How strange to discover that now with Small Prophets being so prominent atm...

My broadband is down and the engineer won't be coming till the 25th... This is an opportunity to dig out some films from the dvd collection I haven't watched for ages... I've been meaning to anyway but now I can't lazily scroll Netflix or Prime...😬

#nowplaying 💙

The French Dispatch, The Grand Budapest Hotel, The Darjeeling Limited and The Royal Tenenbaums, all went up on Netflix yesterday.
