I must add that I voted for Reform UK in my local area, but the majority vote was for the Limp Dems.
They have kept the roads updated, I suppose, and are OK as a local authority.

Not watched in years.

This Be The Verse

They fuck you up, your mum and dad.   
    They may not mean to, but they do.   
They fill you with the faults they had
    And add some extra, just for you.
But they were fucked up in their turn
    By fools in old-style hats and coats,   
Who half the time were soppy-stern
    And half at one another's throats.
Man hands on misery to man.
    It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
    And don't have any kids yourself.

Morning all. 
It's cold,  grey, and starting to drizzle here.

I've got a busy day coming up.
I have a delivery of several bags of compost, potting grit, and sand coming this morning first.
Followed by a B & Q delivery.
I am also expecting a couple of parcels by post. 

I hope all this goes according to plan and arrives this morning,  because I have an Audiology appt. at the hospital this afternoon.

No, I don't watch it anymore and haven't done for a few years.
The  songs seem all just loud noise and rubbish, and the singers are mostly just too weird for me.

I put off doing an outdoor job yesterday as it was a bit chilly. 
Today it's brass monkeys. 
I blame Keir Starmer.

I didn't watch it until about three  years ago .
I have always thought that it was full of weirdos in latter years with no noticeable musical talent .
But it has become horribly political .
First was about Ukraine .
Sam Ryders 'Spaceman ' was really quite good  much better than all the others.
He would have won except for the ( understandable ) sympathy votes for Ukraine .
Then after the Oct 7th massacre Israel should have won but for the upsurge of hate and biased judges .
Yet the public vote was overwhelmingly for them .
Even countries like Ireland voted for Israel showing that the Irish public are not behind their govern ments anti Israel stance .
However now several countries have withdrawn because of Israel 's inclusion , these include Spain and Ireland .
Neither will be missed as in the last years their songs have been ghastly
Especially Ireland where one would expect beautiful music from the land of the bards.
Last years entrant was diabolical in just about every way and could not really be described as music .
The ESC has become both a platform for political hatred but also of exhibitionism .
