284/365 Introduced to this song by a good friend of mine. It's about an old bloke reflecting on his life . . . . . . sounds dull, but it hits the spot on so many levels. youtu.be/q0I48oJkoQI?...

"Stranded on Honeymoon Island" WTF is this phoney, manufactured SHIT?????????

I used to be able to spell, but now I cun't! #Trump #Project2025

283/365 Cardiff, Top Rank, 1977 (possibly 1978), Stranglers in full flight when Jean-Jacques Burnel launches himself off the stage to have it out with a guy who threw a bottle at the band . . . . . wild days! youtu.be/NuT5KUA7iaY?...

I decided to follow the current trend on Bluesky by putting up some mildly erotic pics of myself, but then I looked at them and was violently sick, so it’s back to the photos of chilli and kippers.

282/365 Favourites can sometimes evolve, or be bettered by a great cover (see "One" by Mary J Blige). This is a recently discovered version of an all time Smiths favourite, by its original writer. Love this! youtu.be/mY8eKQFyRJk?...

#MAGA voters, you're beyond saving #Kamala voters, you did the right thing The missing third . . . . . this is on you, you lazy feckless fuckers. Most of you could see what was coming and didn't give a shit. 'Bout time you got off your arses and set things straight. #Trump #Project2025 #USA

These ae the good years, The Golden Years I suppose. Both retired, and in good health until old age and infirmity kicks in. Don't need pots of money; just coffee, a good book, some sunny days, a dog to walk, and each other. Can't complain 😊

281/365 If this comes up on the jukebox then you know it's been a very good wake! youtu.be/fvV5mryQF1I?...

Breakfast; Sausage sandwich with HP Sauce. Great with a steaming hot cup of tea.

280/365 First heard this tune by way of The Commitments film, but then I found this original version by Aretha . . . . . . . youtu.be/dzIUgS3Imu0?...

First proper Sunday Roast of the season, with my son and his partner coming for dinner. Usual story of trying to remember the correct proportions for the Yorkshire Pudding batter and the right temperature for a medium-rare joint of beef. Second nature soon, but the first is always panic stations.

279/365 Haven't got a clue where I first heard this tune. Just glad I did. Perhaps one of the most atmospheric pieces of music on my list. youtu.be/4KP9PNSUME4?...

With the FCC cracking down on the Jimmy Kimmel show and ABC/Disney capitulating…. Here’s the new Disney!

Vegetable Hydrabadi and Chicken Balti. Will be nice this evening with some rice and a naan.

278/365 My "Girl From The North Country" is Yorkshire herself . . . . . . . . . . "and she'll always be a true love of mine, and I'll never, never, never, never give her up". youtu.be/7NwxarwMgW8?...

This is #Trump 's #USA today

277/365 I remember listening to this as a ten year old in 1969 and being both fascinated and scared at the same time. Well, things have really moved on at pace since this apocalyptic vision of the future was released. 2025 anyone? youtu.be/zKQfxi8V5FA?...

Rib of Beef or Turkey Ballotine for Christmas Day? It's a decision that has to be made soon.

#Trump requested that only the finest British cuisine be served at the King’s Royal Banquet.

As a child in the 1960s I was radicalised as a violent extremist & racist by playing Japs v English with a stick machine gun. It’s not guns that kill people, it’s trees. ERADICATE THE EVIL FORESTS!!

276/365 We all know the tune, we all know the words, we've all heard it a thousand times . . . . but when those crystal clear guitar notes ring out it can still send shivers . . . . and Alan Price's Vox Continental organ . . . . . Anthemic! youtu.be/4-43lLKaqBQ?...

Hate #Trump. Could well do without the #RoyalFamily. But you've got to admit, we do pagentry and military tradition like no-one else on earth. Think back to that embarrassing, shambolic parade in the US for the Orange Blimp 🤣

Epstein Castle, Windsor, #UK #Trump

Hope it's not lost on #Trump that the majority of the UK hate him, and that the UK Government knows that so they're basically keeping him hidden. This is as close as anyone will get. Pointless exercise. Might as well be a closed door trip to a Royal Theme Park. Fat orange fucker go home!!!!

275/365 Iconic tune. This is a live version from 1977, but what kills me is the YouTuber's comment, "I can't believe how hot everyone's grandmas are". Yes, we were all young and beautiful once upon a time. youtu.be/QxIWDmmqZzY?...

Leaked script from King Charles welcome to #Trump "Greetings and felicitations dearest Donald, so glad to welcome you to the UK once again. I understand your good friend and business associate. Jeffrey #Epstein, is not able to join us this evening. My son, Andrew, says, "Thanks for the secrets"".

Hey USA, we've got him. Like measles. Can you ask RFK to send some vacs . . . . and a returns label, express postage. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sad news about the death of Robert Redford earlier today, but what a time to re-run All The President's Men on network TV and all the streaming channels. Perhaps it ought to be made manadatory viewing for today's media presenters and journalists. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_the...

Why don’t you just sign up for #Reform #ChrisMason. It’s ridiculous the amount of free publicity you’re giving them. Ought to be investigated by #BBC & #BBCNews. Mason: Reform UK amplifies jitters for Labour and Conservatives www.bbc.com/news/article...

274/365 I remember this being on the jukebox in The Old Hill Inn, Chapel-le-Dale, 1978 (ish) when H and I were having some girl/boy intimate worries . . . . appopriate at the time youtu.be/NrgmdOz227I?...

A timely reminder when this popped up again . . . . 273/365 And that's why, why we must talk again And why, we must sort this thing out And why, oh the future's in doubt youtu.be/MrjhuDj6xDI?...

#Trump itinerary for his state visit to the UK is the equivalent of me being invited to the in-laws for tea, being showed the boring holiday photos, and then having a trip round the garden in an old pram. He's basically being confined to (Windsor) barracks 'cos we hate him so much. 🤣🤣🤣

272/365 Timeless. If you know me (if you've known me), even though we may not talk often, you know . . . . . . . . youtu.be/eAR_Ff5A8Rk?...

I'm neither for the radical right or the radical left. If anything I'm a radical centrist. In the workplace I've seen people who literally hate each other work together to produce an amazing end product. What you don't have in the workplace is the media moguls fanning the flames. Think about it.

Last Night of the Proms leaves me cold. Thin layer of toffs at the top and racist thugs at the bottom wallowing in the same outdated jingoism. Singing at The Royal Albert Hall or throwing bricks at police on the streets of London. It's all the same old little Englander shite!!

271/365 "If I love you and take care of you would you cry and bleed for me"? . . . . . . and his guitar softly whispered, "Yes". youtu.be/98eIW6CN62k?...

270/365 The Who are a bit of an enigma to me. Love Daltrey's vocals but have a problem with Towshend's pompous rock opera stuff. Even this song has an overblown middle section but, on balance and with a line like "My love is vengeance", it's on the list. youtu.be/dMrImMedYRo?...

269/365 Everyone knows "the Christmas song" but if these guys had've decided on the hard rock route instead of TOTP glam I reckon they could have been immense. Why? Listen . . . . . . youtu.be/WccNIy9OzdM?...

Y'all know praying does fuck all don't ya?

WHO DID THIS???!!!

268/365 Song originally written by Bob Dylan. This version was released by Bruce Springsteen in 1988 to highlight a world wide tour by Amnesty International to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Declaration of Human Rights. youtu.be/WhvpFX63JGw?...

267/365 Classic Northern Soul tune and another sure fire floor filler from school disco days. Great advice too . . . . . . . youtu.be/CAfaR6IuO-4?...

266/365 One off song from a one off album by a one off band. Wilko Johnson's (ex Dr Feelgood) Solid Senders. The one song on the album Wilko didn't even do the vocal on . . . . . Great tune, great undestated guitar (Wilko)! youtu.be/1qCyhPukZHA?...
