Not in Crawley

Always rage against the dying of the light. That's a great video.

Well what an unpleasant juxtaposition of deaths.

Number 10 actually put this out. Really? We are so far through the looking glass now, it's bizarre. I'm not one of those that rants on about give us an election now, but is this sort of rubbish from our Leadership what we've come to expect? We really deserve better.

Even Tory MPs are asking for them to take it down. What a mess.

Why do you think my username is Not in...couldn't wait to leave. Its not lifestyle I'm afraid - moved for work and in the arts you tend to have to keep shifting around places to climb the experience pole - one was for work in Chichester, one for a job in Cambridge.

Please don't remind me

Almost at the end of the year - only another two weeks of releases - so here's NiC's favourite songs of 2023 So many good songs, diffcult to choose my favourite but certainly Vampire Empire by the ever fucking brilliant Big Thief is up there (the B-Side is also great) Scratch Your Metal by Divorce, who don't seem to be able to write a bad song, Pynch's Disco Lights (and the album itself) was really good, really reminds me of just walking around London this year, always seemed to have it on when communting, The Last Dinner Party are going to be HUGE, Roisin Murphy's album I thought was great and I'm not a huge fan, Sparks' stuff as good as they've ever done and had a bit of a revival this year, The Narcissist was the best Blur song in years, Black Country reinvented themselves and looking forward to see what they do next but Live At Bush Hall is one of the best live albums I've ever heard, Queens of the Stone Age got back to good riffs after Villians, Joshua Idehen's Been Kind of Lost takes me back to summer and the line 'I'm Clearly off My Tits' is just great, every teenager should have Gina Birch I Play my Bass Loud on full blast, Radio 6 favs The Lemon Twigs kept releasing great singles and the mighty King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard out Metalled metal bands with Gila Monster...... So many good song, so many I haven't heard, so little time, so put Loving Arms by Lack of Afro on and have a fucking great dance to great music.

Dirty's Norfolk party days

Any talk of immigration deflects away from the economy, the NHS, the rising cost of living, the previous leaders, Covid, the battles in the Conservative party, the lack of any actual policy or how we have gone backwards in the last decade under their stewardship. Expected this sort of stuff to be ramped up for at least a year as on anything that really matters, their record is woeful, so they don't want to talk about it. 'Get 'em focused on sending 50 immigrants to Rwanda - that'll do.''

True - her reponse was the usual - I'm telling it how it is and we have failed the British People time and time again. To which he just said, 'Isn't it all about you, though?' Quite the interview.

Benjamin Zephaniah - 65. Diagnosed with a brain tumor 8 weeks ago. Christ. RIP. The British Take some Picts, Celts and Silures And let them settle, Then overrun them with Roman conquerors. Remove the Romans after approximately 400 years Add lots of Norman French to some Angles, Saxons, Jutes and Vikings, then stir vigorously. Mix some hot Chileans, cool Jamaicans, Dominicans, Trinidadians and Bajans with some Ethiopians, Chinese, Vietnamese and Sudanese. Then take a blend of Somalians, Sri Lankans, Nigerians And Pakistanis, Combine with some Guyanese And turn up the heat. Sprinkle some fresh Indians, Malaysians, Bosnians, Iraqis and Bangladeshis together with some Afghans, Spanish, Turkish, Kurdish, Japanese And Palestinians Then add to the melting pot. Leave the ingredients to simmer. As they mix and blend allow their languages to flourish Binding them together with English. Allow time to be cool. Add some unity, understanding, and respect for the future, Serve with justice And enjoy. Note: All the ingredients are equally important. Treating one ingredient better than another will leave a bitter unpleasant taste. Warning: An unequal spread of justice will damage the people and cause pain. Give justice and equality to all.

This was quite the question from Nick Robinson on Today this morning (former Oxford Uni Conservative President and Preseident of the Conservative Party Youth Group form those BBC baise junkies)

Another one who likes easy answers to bigger issues. I think you'll find if people discuss Brexit issues it's a country issue not oh, my kid has just had a good school report and cheap air travel has changed how we holiday. Stick this in your Google https://www.imf.org/en/Publications/fandd/issues/Series/Back-to-Basics/Micro-and-Macro Again, its looking at the wrong question and giving the wrong answer.

Again, I take it you didn't actually read what I wrote or more likely you didn't understand it. It's not that difficult, Mounts. But as I say you like easy solutions to complex problems - you are a godsend for people currently in power. Now you can carry on with your crock o shite posts all you want, doesn't make them anymore valid.

I thought you might like it. You could whack it on as a disclaimer on your invoices?
