I used to work in Our Price in Harlow in the early 80s, and every single Saturday without fail, the Shaking Stevens albums would be moved from the 'Pop' section to the 'Rock & Roll' section
Never caught whoever did it, but had to admire their determination that Shaky wasn't Pop..
Three & half years, a lumpectomy, a super intensive & gruelling radiology course due to Covid and 6 bone infusions later, my amazing wife has finally rung that fucking cancer bell.
Finished & done today.
In absolute awe at her and the NHS.
My wife had cancer 3 years ago and this 'lesser mortals' viewpoint has made me more angry than just about anything I can think of.
How fucking DARE you Allison...how fucking dare you.
I have been moving, and I found my old Far Side books underneath the bed. If you are my age or thereabouts, nearly 25% are instantly memorable, nay legendary. It's the greatest single-panel strip of all time. But I think this might be the best of all, and if I'm wrong prove it.
Local shop have 3 tins of Lyles black treacle reduced to 60p as they are past the sell by date and I'm pretty fucking certain that black treacle found in the pyramids would still be fine today
Name me an artist who never put a single foot wrong, musically, ethically, emotionally, stylistically, or politically.
Because you know, apart from Terry Hall, I'm not sure there is one?

Just did a massive 'chin-stroke/chinny-reckon/Jimmy-Hill' to a work colleague who was obviously trying to blag his way out of a situation.
He's about 35, had no idea what I was doing and now clearly thinks I've gone absolutely mental.
A mate of mine is watching the entire
#thesopranos
series for the first time and I'm fucking jealous because any day soon he's going to get to the Pine Barrens episode and realise it's the best episode of any series ever.
#sopranos
Some more info on her as this has blown up a bit..
1) Spent 3 months in Bangladesh promoting women's rights
2) Did 3 trips over to Calais when 'the jungle' was at its absolute worst
3) Works for a modern slavery charity
4) Fearless
5) Fantastic
6) Feminist
7) Gooner 👊❤️🙏
in 1966, my mum entered a competition to come up with a slogan for a product by tinned food company..
She won and received a portable heater(!!) as 1st prize.
Her entry?
"Beans Means Heinz"
(The ad agency changed it all Z's later on)
No one has ever successfully captured the experience of being off your face in a club better than this videos and I'll die on this hill if anyone fancies arguing.

Wife has just text me from Tescos asking if 8 cans of cider is enough for me & my mate at Sign Of The Times festival this weekend.
8 cans
Between 2
EIGHT CANS LADS
I had a stall at a record fair once and the c*nt on the table opposite played this shite all day long.
Genuinely one of the worst six hours of my life.
Absolutely incredible that we all used to book a two week holiday in a European hotel purely & solely based on an A6 sized summary with just tiny photos in the Thompson 84 holiday brochure...

@OK16096635
I got shouted at in a supermarket yesterday for wearing one of your RNLI masks
Will it stop me wearing it? - No
Will it make me donate some more? - Yes
Yeah, he sacked the keyboard player, threatened the backing singer with legal action, tried to get the pub opposite his house shut down for being too noisy and then still claimed he's a socialist!
Woken up this morning to a billion notifications with nothing but love & respect regarding last night's post & the RNLI..
Twitter can often be a cesspit, but it's given me & the wife a warm glow today .
Thank you all.
🙏🙏❤️��️👏👏
Well, 3 years ago today the wife came home from a routine breast scan, walked through the door & broke down in tears.
Life, plans, future, everything changed from that minute onwards.
But thanks to the amazing mind-boggling great NHS she remains cancer free for a 2nd year❤️🙏

Normally, I'd say no, but as your timeline shows you're actually a pro-Brexit, Pro-Trump, anti-asylum seeker, anti-vaxxer type, I'd say go for it, the more the merrier
BREAKING 🚨🚨🚨
Nicola Sturgeon urged to apologise after leaked WhatsApp messages describing Matt Hancock as “Weaker than a nuns piss,” Liz Truss as “About as much use as a marzipan dildo,” and referring to Suella Braverman as “Shitler.”
One of the biggest problems the producers will have with this is finding an actor with the natural talent & ability to portray Alex James as the massive massive cunt he is.
The RNLI is a charity. The public donates to it so that it can help with accidents at sea. The public does not donate so that it can rescue those who deliberately put themselves at risk in unseaworthy vessels. This madness has gone on for far too long.

"Surrender if innocent"???
He was jogging in a park and got attacked by two Good Old Boys Racists, not a tactical SWAT Team...
The incredible thing about The KLF was that although everything was tinged with madness, everything was just so fucking brilliant.
Everything.
Never put a foot wrong.

I sell vintage clothing on eBay.
My sales to the EU are down by 95% since January 1st, because of extra import/courier/VAT charges.
Thanks a lot Brexiters.
So my postie finally retired today after 53yrs in Royal Mail..he's seen my kids grow up (knows their names) and watched me move house 4 times.
Have a guess what Royal Mail got him for his retirement present...
Finally, I'm sat on a high speed train, Europe flashing by, staring out of the window with Sons & Fascination/ Sister Feelings Call on the headphones.
Something I've wanted to do for 40 odd years.
The perfect travelogue album, bar none.
He's that bore in the pub who never comes in for a drink, but for 'a small libation'. He can't go three sentences without mentioning the army. The bar staff argue among themselves in whispers about who has to serve him.

Not wishing to bang my drum, but I should be prime Tory fodder..50+, white, home owner, fairly comfortable financially and, dare I say a bit middle class I suppose, but I have NEVER been more left wing in all my life..despise them all with every fucking fibre in my body
Yeah yeah yeah, it may well be Keith Richards' 80th birthday, but my Dad's 90 today👇🙏👊
(Photo taken a few months ago in his back garden)
Happy Birthday old boy❤️
I'm becoming more & more convinced that this is the greatest lp of the 80s.
Still futuristic, still very European, still mind-blowing.
Hillage did such an incredible job with production 👏
Astonishing.

Just had to intervene in a bit of corridor beef between two Y11 girls, one of whom was called Renae
"JUST WALK AWAY RENAE" I said before bursting out laughing.
No other fucker understood why I was laughing so much🤦♂️😀

Shoutout to all the runners this morning 👏 🏃♀️🏃🏃♂️
For those who prefer a more sedate pace, to start the day, feel free to stop and say hello to our early tour who are out on patrol 👋🏻
"I can't believe it's virtually impossible to sell my UK eels to the EU, shouts man who voted for the Lets Make It Virtually Impossible To Sell UK Eels To The EU party"
My wife (right) and mate's wife (left) have both survived breast cancer recently because of our incredible, amazing NHS 👏 ❤️
So good for all us to be able to see Pulp yesterday 🙌

Posting this pic with absolutely no context, especially not the title of the book that Gove is holding, which in no way could relate to their private relationship...so I'm told by an insider at the HoC..😉

I think the time has come to own up to something I've kept to myself all these years:-
I really can't stand 808State's Pacific State and that fucking god-awful weedy clarinet has no business being anywhere near any dance track.
And breath.....

Lord knows I'm no Russ In Cheshire fan, but I have heard many many horror stories about dealing Peter Kay, and how objectionable he is in real life..
For example
