This place feels like switching from heroin to methadone, the same thing(kinda) but none of the accompanying poison lol. (Apologies to non addicts-in-recovery types for the meaningless analogy lol)

When you're a royal who's managed to make The Times and the bloody Mail hate you then you truly must be the worst kind of personality lol

Not to mention Mifune is such an amazing actor...

I mean for me it's the greatest film of them all, Kurosawa is also the greatest director. I mean obviously there's some serious competition..Spielberg, Ford, Miyazaki, Hitchcock, Kubrick etc but his filmography is the best for me.

He hates American values and principles. He hates democracy. He despises the Constitution and its constraints. He hates most Americans. All he desires is money, power and staying out of jail. Am I missing something?

Greatest double LP ever ? I'd for sure put it above The Wall i think, Sign of the times by Prince is definitely a contender...

9—I'm so Tired

While the #Beatles were in India, insomnia due to over-meditation was a common problem. John was suffering through such a bout when he wrote this red-eyed antithesis to 'I'm Only Sleeping'.

OMG! In Comey's motion to dismiss for vindictive prosecution, he points to others who have lied to Congress that were NOT prosecuted. Number one is JEFF SESSIONS when he said "I have been called a surrogate at a time or two, but I did not have contact with the Russians." 1/

Indeed, I mean to be fair this stuff isn't written with us as potential buyer, I do recall having to suffer this through the wall of my younger sisters bedroom as a teenager, she was much more the target lol. I mean it's well crafted teenager light pop but other than that I'm out of compliments lol

JazHowe1968 @jazhowe1968.bsky.social · 18h

Odd these pro "free market" types are all for businesses being able to treat customers as they wish,be that discrimination or banning unions.The moment however a business, Aston Villa, wish to ban some customers suddenly they're all for govt "meddling" in businesses. Almost like they're hypocrites..

Don’t think I’ve played this for ages so, inspired by a recent @ollypunk.bsky.social post, #nowplaying is the wonderful ‘New Boots and Panties’ by Ian Dury and the Blockheads. Music/lyrics/sleeve/gold vinyl all just perfect.

A very happy birthday to Béla Ferenc Dezső Blaskó, better known as #BelaLugosi, born this day in 1882.

He defined forever the appearance of the #vampire, after starring in the 1931 film #Dracula. He was then immortalised in #gothicrock by #Bauhaus in their 1979 debut single "Bela Lugosi's Dead"

So right wingers are all about the total freedom of companies to treat customers how they want, be that gay marriage, banning unions or whatever, right up to the moment a business, Aston Villa, ban customers from attending a match then suddenly they're all for government "interfering" in business
