(1523) Strange things. First was Steve’s and my links vanishing … twerent me, guv … then Andy disappearing once I posted his ad, ha ha… then this afternoon, having been busy in the morning, I pursued a line after lunch which is in Thurs 13, which sort of killed any film. Not asleep but away with the fairies all the same.

Sherry Walker has been a commercial airline pilot for almost 35 years. She says DEI has so completely undermined safety standards that pilots are sometimes afraid to leave the cockpit for fear of what their co-pilots will do unattended.

15. Hypocrite

Not running the vid … don’t wish to look at him, let alone listen. Plus this:

14. Here are these two songs

… I need to find out who dropped them in comments.

Found it … Justin:

East End dilettante chooses his signature track

13. Not usually having much nostalgia time

… except on the blog, today I went down a rabbit hole from the past. There were two questions … one concerning novelty songs and the other concerning people I looked up to (a bit).

Thought was that, following that Sam the Sham song some evenings ago, maybe I could run three other novelty songs here from the 50s/60s … the obvious one for me was the first song I think I ever heard … or at least the earliest I remember … Flying Purple People Eater … listened again … it was fun, went to a list of others … 1910 Fruitgum Company and Simple Simon … I was on an army training course and that played on the radio. Listened again today … nah, not really, not any more. Sugar Sugar … nah. Monster Mash … nah. Ding a Ling … I don’t like sex in novelty songs.

And so on. Hallo Muddah, Hallo Farder. Hmmmm, not today. On Top of Old Smoky … don’t know why but they just don’t do it for me any more. So what would I post this afternoon? Well I had two Mark Knopfler songs but can you remember who posted them in comments? It was one of us … I’ll go looking later.

So to that other question … how come the artists … film, music … I really liked, e.g. Helen Shapiro, the Yardbirds were always somewhat older than I was … maybe ten years, maybe four … always big brother or sister age … almost no one my age. Their outfits were always the era immediately before mine … they looked cool, were dashing and “with it”?

Whilst the friends I had later, say over 40, who were mates, always seemed about seven years younger. Why? It was never planned that way. Same with women.

12. Seems some progress over there

… wonder though if it’s just sporadic little victories keeping hope alive.

(1126) Talk about busy morning … all sorts of jobs done ahead… brilliant, on the move, helps cope with the horrors, on top of keeping faith. (1209)

 

11. It’s ok for Rupert to say with parliamentary privilege

… and all power to him … but we can’t, it’s a Stasi magnet. So I cannot comment at all, just run the text.

10. Females who never grow up

… ditto with vicious males too.

I know a few of these … 40 going 14 … sad thing is they will never grow up … just go down. Those that made them this way are going to hell.

9. Beware those in Britain who eat food

a) Battles betwen adolescent gangs in France is becoming a problem. A new episode of knife fights in the Paris region. Two youths were injured in a brawl involving about ten people this Wednesday in Versailles (Yvelines).

b) Sékou, 17, [who died in the battle] was from the Hautes-Mardelles neighborhood of Brunoy, the neighboring town. Rivalry rages between this neighborhood and the one where the events occurred.

c) Nantes is, again, in the news, but not from inter-gang violence, but violence on an individual by a group. A violent scene occurred on the Île de Nantes.

d) But the Government are not standing idly by – they issue an order … the government is raising its voice […] National Education Minister Élisabeth Borne and […] Bruno Retailleau, signed a circular…..

 

The Ekranoplan Orlyonok zoomed across the water not far from where I lived … my mate over there saw it a few times, though there was a Soviet ban on telling anyone. They were talking a powered vehicle, whereas I was wanting to run a sailed version.

The only way I was going to be able to do that was with what’s called a Brucefoil … I had the builder teed up, he’d seen the blueprints, he was happy enough, the yard was teed up, advertising to cover some of the costs was no great issue, so I gathered. Regulations killed it. Greed. Language barrier too.

This one by this young boffin … a very handy guy with his tech and building ability .. was interesting … at first … but as someone steeped in Ekranoplan, I knew he could never completely do without the front mounted lifting props … to rely only on the surface thrusters was not going to cut it. Why cut all lifters anyway? It’s not a cheap form of motion, end of.

If you go to my youtube channel, it has two videos only … both wing in ground vehicles.

Plus there’s this:

Time to open here with a look at the worthy NPR in the US. (0742)

 

6. Don’t be caught out there

5. They’re still pushing the deathjabs

4. Lady Rebecca

Amazing what a bit of concerted exposure will achieve … but it takes hard work by all sane minded people. We’re not handed out safety and prosperity … we have to fight for it.

3. Donny and his best mate Lindsey

The ways of the God Emperor are inscrutable.

2. The non-profit, public interest NPR being grilled not long ago

Who are they, first up?

Facebook, of course, is totally reliable and trustworthy, just like Two Tier over here, Tavistock, Momentum, Nigel Farage, Alastair Campbell. Here are a few different profiles:

(0112) Cunning plan is post this, maybe 0700 start again. […] All right, done, see ya soon. (0137)

 

The state of affairs both sides of the pond

First up, I redacted/prepared some sshots, only to find that not only had one of them then, subsequently, been “negatived”, but all four links of one of our chaps had gone in the past hour … completely, no sign. I conclude from that that someone is acting on this site within the guts of it … candidates are many.

I’ve salvaged some sshots:

IYE has a link which I dare not put in the post here but it’s there for now. I’m informing readers, yet again, that time is a factor here … we can lead a horse to water but if it’s a trough, not a river, troughs have a habit of being lapped up quickly.
