I have this, low level, with all my stuff, a lot of which pertains to music hall. After the curtain closes on me, my son will have to deal with it, and I wouldn't blame him for yeeting it all into a skip.
And pay with a postal order.
The head of the British Music Hall Society told me that they have warehouses full of bequeathed memorabilia and nothing to do with it, their average member is 80 y/o and their youngest is in their 50s
This is what I think about when I see flag-shaggers pretending to be "defending British culture."
It seems that Starmer is handling the fallout from the Mandelson thing about as well as he's handled everything else. Blimey.
I love mince. I love potatoes. Shepherd's/Cottage Pie is the last thing I would make with these ingredients.
"From whence" always grips my shit.

Lancaster University used to have pet peacocks. You never quite got used to falling out of bed for a 9am seminar and finding the path out of your residence blocked by one of these fuckers.
Is it speaking its name again?
And a blistering version of Titus Turner's Sticks and Stones (prob better known for the Ray Charles version).
For years, I thought it was Bruce Thomas on bass, but it turns out it's Trevor Barry, now known as the bass player in the hat on Strictly.
You've Got To Hide Your Love Away.
He wants attention. Rather than talking about him on here, share new accounts with @ozymandias999.bsky.social by DM, subscribe to the blocklist and ignore him
Elvis Costello did a very nice version of Step Inside Love.
Tice's get-out is that he has no moral decency.
What's happened and is happening to the World Service shows that the management still don't have a clue.
New to me.
Things were getting tense with the guard until Andy realised he had one piece of ID. His BBC pass. He produced this, at which the guard clicked his heels together, put his rifle down, started singing Liliburlero and waved him through.
I met Andy Kershaw once at a do. We fell into a conversation about BBC management stupidity. He said that the suits didn't understand the power of the BBC and the respect in which it was held globally. He said he'd once been without his passport at a border post somewhere in Africa.
Heston Blumenthal's gone too far this time.

I'm not even sure Wes Streeting is a biological human.
A young woman with big eyes and a soft mouth. No idea why.
AI bros: whyyyyy do people not all love our product? Probably they're too stupid & backwards to understand it!
Also AI bros: FINALLY, CEOs! A Prole Replacement that you don't have to pay any wages to, will never say no & will never call HR on you! We've presented it as a young woman for some reason
And when it goes quiet, he stirs it all up again and makes it look like other people are obsessed with him, when it's very much the other way round. Absurd little narcissist.
Trying to explain St Augustine to the pope, the former head of the Augustinian order, who wrote his doctoral thesis on Augustine, on his way back from celebrating mass at the Basilica of St Augustine in Annaba, Algeria, overlooking the site where Augustine lived is peak Adult Catholic Convert.
He's a classic DARVO artist.
He really isn't in a position of strength criticising anyone else's writing.
He's always trying to get a reaction. Negative attention is the only attention he ever gets.
I haven't seen those in there for ages.
Still warms my heart.
