Writers' Strike

 I laughed . . . 

Do It Clean . . .

One of those Facebook 'This was you a year ago' memories that just popped up on my timeline today. Nice to see that one year ago I was using what I now considered my *cough* forever darts. Less nice to see that they were once so clean and shiny. I think I might need to give them an overhaul.

Could a picture look any more 80s?

A Prefab Sprout record signing at HMV Newcastle some time in the '80s.

Just brilliant . . .

 What a picture . . .  what a tackle.

Never the Twain . . . but maybe sometime in the future.

 I've read 5 of them . . .  which probably explains why I'm now a political degenerate.

When we went into lockdown, I thought I would come out the other end playing darts like Peter Wright. Instead, most days I play darts more like Edgar Wright. So, it's nice to occasionally play a half decent round. My first 50-Sixties round in a long, long time.

I put it down to my anarcho-capitalist/Peñarol dart flights:

*'The Shendish Hundred'? It's a Hemel Hempstead pub darts term from back in the day.

Now for a random video. Alex R. shared this one on Facebook a few days ago. I'd never heard of them before, and part of the reason I'm posting it on the blog is because I know I'll forget it otherwise. The comments on YouTube are annoying 'cos people will insist on making the Talking Heads comparison . . . but it's better than that. I'll need to dig out the lyrics sometime as I'm sure they hold up. But it's the tune that grabbed me initially, and I was adult enough to put to one side that grown men shouldn't be on skateboards.

Haircut 101

I'm in desperate need of a haircut - the 1970s and its hairstyles are not coming back in fashion, people - but this meme knocks it out of the park:

Patsy Cline is the greatest singer of all time but there's some merit in this observation:

Shitehawks (2020)

I've seen this painting before but it was entitled "SPGB branch meeting".

PS - The original is my favourite painting of all time, which I'm sure you needed to know.
