Oh Blimy!Jello’s had a stroke!
Hope the magnificent chap is back and talking fast again very soon.
We need him more than ever in these dark, apocalyptic days.He predicted all this many times in his wonderful way.
Saw him at the London Astoria a few days after 9/11. It was quite something to behold!
This vibrant photo captures a sweeping perspective of Pier 34 at Hudson River Park in Manhattan, looking toward the Holland Tunnel ventilation tower and the Jersey City skyline. The foreground is dominated by the walkway of the pier, which curves gracefully toward the centre of the image. The concrete surface is bathed in bright, warm sunlight, casting long, dramatic shadows from the white-painted metal railings that line the left side. These railings, with their repeating vertical posts and mesh panels, create a strong sense of leading lines and rhythmic patterns. To the right, several modern white streetlamps with curved arms stand at regular intervals, their own shadows stretching across the walkway alongside those of the railings. In the middle ground, the walkway leads the eye toward the distinctive, boxy structure of the Holland Tunnel ventilation tower. This tan, industrial building stands prominently on the pier, its dark, vertical windows contrasting with its solid facade. Beyond the pier and the tower, the deep blue waters of the Hudson River sparkle under the clear sky, creating a stark horizontal division in the composition. The background features the modern skyline of Jersey City, with various glass and steel skyscrapers rising against a pale, sun-drenched horizon. The buildings are rendered in soft blues and greys, adding depth and scale to the scene. The sky above is a brilliant, cloudless blue, transitioning to a hazy, golden hue near the horizon where the sun is positioned, though out of frame. Small details, such as people sitting on benches along the right side of the pier, add a human element and a sense of peaceful urban activity. The overall colour palette is a striking mix of the warm oranges and tans of the concrete and buildings, the cool blues of the water and sky, and the crisp white of the railings and lamps, all enhanced by high-contrast lighting that emphasises the architectural geometry and texture of the location.

Geoff Boycott poses with a groundsman and donkey ahead of the 3rd Test between Pakistan v England at Karachi in January 1978. It was the first time Boycott captained England, taking over from Mike Brearley who broke his arm in the tour match preceding the Test. The game was drawn (Patrick Eagar)

This from @vizcomic.bsky.social will never get old.
Tragic that she was seduced by the far right in her later life. Fined on numerous occasions for unapologetic hate speech aimed at the Muslim community. Unforgivable stuff... Best to remember her as the stunning bombshell singing with Gainsbourg.
RIP BB

Without doubt the oddest item (and one of the most popular) in the Lord's Museum. The sparrow killed mid-flight by a ball bowled by Cambridge University's Jahangir Khan to Tom Pierce v MCC at Lord's on July 3rd 1936. Both ball and bird were declared dead
