    John Lennon 80

    John used to have NME delivered by airmail each week when he lived at The Dakota in New York. He liked the mag and wrote on the Gasgag page four times using the name Dr Winston O'Boogie. He also used to send postcards to journalists in the UK, if he knew them, to let them know was going on. Jack

    They can afford it. They've spent a lot less buying new players than the majority of Premier League teams. Jack

    Islamophobia rife in the Conservative party

    Former President of the Supreme Court, Lord Neuberger, would no doubt agee with you. He says Johnson's Brexit strategy risks a UK 'dictatorship'. https://www.theguardian. "The government’s Brexit strategy is in danger of driving the UK down a “very slippery slope” towards “dictatorship” or...

    Trump Part 20

    I think these are parked in Chelsea, near The Thames. They're just down the road from a former doss-house where the very first UK Narcotics Anomymous meeting took place in 1983. Strange world. Nice cars owened by somebody with a bit of a sense of humour. Jack

    All purpose football thread 20-21 season

    Giroud and Rudiger have decided to stay at Chelsea and fight to be in the team. I like Giroud and his can-do attitude. Rudiger is only 27 and that's far too young to throw in the not-good-enough towel. He should only be picked if he's on top of his game though. Chelsea conceeded more goals...

    Olympus quits on cameras

    I read yesterday that when Bailey does a portrait he gives the client one shot/print. You aren't given a choice, whether you're Mick Jagger or The Kray Twins. Jack

    RIP Eddie Van Halen

    Only saw Eddie Van Halen play live once, what a guitarist and band. Some rate him as second to Hendrix. Apparently he had an alcohol and drug problem until he got clean in 2008. This made him difficult to deal with. The joy in his riffs though is self-evident. Jack

    Angela Raynor was interviewed on Sky News this morning. She insisted Johnson, Hancock, Sunak and the Tory Cabinet, are responsible for the UK's inadequate response to Covid-19. Will Starmer follow up? I'll be very surprised if he does. He'll go "Of couse we support the government, but ... "...
