I still Whistle ' I was Kaiser Bill's Batman' by Whistling Jack Smith.
It was released in 1967 when I was 5!
When i worked, and was listening to some crushing bore drone on about whatever in a meeting, I would also hum it to myself to combat the depression🤣

Hi Matthew, yes I know of Eva.
She was made famous in the UK after her death, when a popular BBC Radio 2 DJ Terry Wogan (also now deceased) championed her music.
Most popular were Somewhere Over the Rainbow & Fields of Gold. A beautiful voice ❤️

Why, after the Greece game did we all get so high?
Looked at the table.
Three still to play.
We know how this works.
We've seen it a gazillion times!
We blow it!
And not in a small way😕🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
And then we all feel shit.
Deep sigh🙄

Oh, what a shame. Our Nigel's fans believe he's an honest man-of-the-people type.
And all because he carelessly omitted to mention little things like being a brand ambassador for Direct Bullion, or raking in a million quid whilst an MP.
Silly, forgetful old sausage...

While this sucks, I can attest that, at least currently, El Salvador feels more free than the USA

Whenever I see military on the streets of El Salvador, I know they are there to keep me safe.

Here? Not so much

“This case is chilling for us all,” said Free Press’ senior counsel Benavidez. “And that’s the point — the administration will stop at nothing, not even the First Amendment, to bully people into silence.”

As news comes out that Greta Thunberg and hundreds of other flotilla members are being tortured in Israeli 'prisons'.

I ask you.

Do you stand with Greta Thunberg?

Spread the message Free Greta Thunberg if you do.

Top album from a top band.
First saw them at Loch Lomond
1980 I think. Several times at Barrowland, Bristol, Cardiff and twice in Belfast recently.
