We seem to have lost the idea that every picture tells a story. When at school in Bolton in the late 60s we were encouraged to take subs to Paris Match.
If on FB look out for Rob Stoner’s (Bob Dylan musician) putting up his dad’s collection.
I want to ask those who accuse Springsteen of being “political” whether they are in favour of masked, armed men seizing citizens from their workplaces.
(BTW I blame that video for
“Dancing In The Dark” for people not understanding Springsteen)
#1 son gets 4 months paid paternity leave courtesy of company policy. His bond with #1 grandson is quite astonishing. As is his loyalty to his employer.
I still use it for interaction with some customer support teams (e.g. very useful for changing seat reservations on rail) but the toxic sludge you have to skip over is disconcerting. Why would I be interested in the witterings of a failed actor or a man who thinks concrete has life?
A beautiful piece, and true. Many thanks.
I think it’s generally: liked by those who live and work on those streets, disliked by those who travel through them.
The film?
Those of us raised in the 1960s remember singing “To those in peril on the sea”, trawler losses and cod wars. Not justifying the current obsession, just why it might resonate with a demographic.
As the character Hedley Lamarr says in “Blazing Saddles”, “my mind is aglow with whirling, transient nodes of thought careening through a cosmic vapor of invention” when considering the linkage here…
It’s clear. Bald.
Wonderful turn in the Brian Pern series…
Daryl Easlea’s recent book “Whatever Happened To
Slade” is worth a read.
“The band” ceased to exist a long time ago. Powell had been performing with Dave Hill’s version of Slade and they parted company.
Great to hear the shout out for Slade, not least because they hit the charts in the U.K. with what is essentially a Hot Club de Paris track in “Coz I Luv You”.
I hate to say this, but to be fair once I’d waited the 40 mins and been connected to a live HMRC human and then directed to the PAYE team* I had the information in 2 minutes. As you say though, why not have it on line?
* Self assessment team don’t see this data, it seems.
A movie that takes place where you’re from..
Not sure tbh, but suspect most, yes
No
Relative to devices costing 100s of £, yes.
Amazon shows 1,850 results for headphones under £15…
‘‘Twas ever this. I remember youth with a ghetto blaster playing the first few seconds of Herbie Hancock’s “Rockit” on repeat on a very long train journey across the Pennines.
A movie that takes place where you're from.
Yep, I think online self assessment a terrific thing. Until they tell me I have underreported my bank account interest and they won’t / can’t show me their workings. “Thanks for waiting, one of our advisors will be with you as soon as possible”
Shouldn’t people be telling him to “manage better” / “be a better businessman” as Brexiters did to SMEs that lost their markets?
Our local tip…sorry, recycling centre…has a section for ambulatory aids given out by the NHS.
Coffee, but still..
Not quite on this scale, but I remember being in a crowd at Kelvingrove in Glasgow singing along to “Rhinestone Cowboy” just after Glen Campbell died.
Goodness gracious. Back in the 1960s I was taught not to use the term “retarded” (save for spark plug timings).
Mesh transformed the reach and stability of WiFi in our curiously structured Edwardian house. Cabling for fixed assets would be good, but how many such devices do you have & would you be happy to fix them in place / have multiple access points.
Paywalled, but assuming the headline reflects the content, yes! Just after #1 grandson’s birth, #1 son’s company improved its paternity offering. Son and grandson bonded like superglued together.
Given Jasmine Mooney’s testimony of her experience, they’ll be waiting til hell freezes over for ICE to respond.
Top chap. Round of cricket applause due.
