Sunday [12 till close of play]

(1645) Almost evening all.

16. Charlotte has the goods on this child

15. Andy and Slade

I could have held off until after the first two posts tomorrow but somehow, I thought it was better to run it now, plus the question of eras came up earlier. Andy wrote, at 1149:

“Jimbo, I know you like your reaction videos, and they are usually entertaining. This one below was… well, hugely informative and a bit sad. We all grew up with their sound, so… C’mon Feel the Noize!“

Right … the reactor’s question was how he’d never heard of them, yet he’d heard some of the songs, as covers. I’m puzzled about why Slade were never part of my deliberate listening. Yes, we heard them all the time with that Robert Plant type voice … we knew all Plant’s band’s songs, we were into The Yardbirds, The Who, Waterloo Sunset, we knew The Clash from 1976.

When I returned from one of my journeys, we went to the Ammersmith Odeon to see Great Rock n Roll Swindle. We knew Tenpole Tudor, Jona Lewie. But also around were Clapton, Free … it goes on. So why not Slade? Why not Queen later? Why never AC/DC, never Oasis, never Ozzy Whatsisname? Hmmmmm.

I’m thinking the costumes … could never handle clown outfits, bell bottoms, flares. Why was I a strong fan of Dan McCafferty and Nazareth but not Slade? Kiss? Yuk. Adam Ant? Not really.

Plus there were other British artists we loved … Ian Dury, Graham Parker. Fairport Convention, Sandy Denny. Why not Slade? Going back … Eric Burdon, Troggs, Bad Company. I’m thinking maybe we were listening to American bands too. Ramones were big, Steely Dan, Eagles, Santana. Back in Blighty … The Stranglers, with Hughie. Why not Slade? Esp. not Gary Glitter. Going to look up Glam now.

Hmmmm … Bowie … no way. Yet Bryan Ferry we listened to. Genesis no, T Rex no, Yes no, UB40 no, Police no, Traffic not really, ELP yes. Rhyme or reason in those choices? Sweet no, Strawbs no. Joy Division … definitely yes, plus New Order. Think Noddy Holder just screamed, whereas others sang.

Tull yes. Theatrical band though. Hmmmmm. Sex Pistols? No. Wreckless Eric? Yes. Boy George? Never. Mark Knopfler? Yes.

14. Reform have the classic issue facing the whole country

Farage sees himself as head of Tories 2.0, Muslim Party, therefore PM, also wants that gong. Reform members are there only to make that happen. Reform members, the heart of society outside the M25 bubble, good people, simply can’t see it.


13. This

12. Hearts of Oak

I notice Steve has something up at 1148 as well … check it out.

Sunday [8 to 11]

(1247) Afternoon all … restarting today’s blogging, been some issues. (1326)

 

11. This feral animal in DC

… who stabbed the (white) girl in the neck (supposedly, I did not watch it). Xer John Lefevre wrote:

“This murderer’s name is Decarlos Brown. He has been arrested 13 times, two of which were for assaulting women. In January 2025, Judge Teresa Stokes allowed him to be released on no cash bail. Last month, Brown’s public defender questioned his mental capacity. The judge, Roy Wiggins, ordered a forensic evaluation, while allowing Brown to remain free. Judges and DAs need to be held accountable.”

Right … there is the feral black himself who did it … and all things we wish to have happen to him … let it be so.

Concentrating on the girl, may her soul RIP, there are huge anomalies afa I can see. She gets on the subway, glued to her phone, and sits in a seat in front of him, facing away … the killer thinks, then stands and knifes her to death.

Now … firstly … it’s DC or NYC, both bad. Seems night or evening. Feral black … with hoody. Does she see him and jump off quickly, does she take a seat facing him at a distance? Nope, not at all. Does she have the hand in her bag on the Mace or pepper spray? Nope.

She’s oblivious. Had someone taught her to ignore danger and it will stay benign? It’s lunacy on the part of the girl. Feral black … did that not register with her? Now she’s dead.

On the other hand, there was a second case in some cafeteria type place. Feral black enters, steals something (CCTV), runs for the door, girl chases full bore, tackles him, he hits the floor, she puts him in a scissor hold … girls’ most effective weapon, holds him, white man intervenes and helps but he himself doesn’t know much about fighting. So the two are hokding the animal down. End of clip.

Coming back to the knifing … a white gets the animal into a choke hold. Too late though … girl is dead. Why oh why do girls NOT bleedin’ well wake up, be prepared?

10. Moosh at Rupert’s constituency

8. Jstack is useless

It’s not editable, not adjustable, not redactable. For a start, no control over image size … goes full width, full size and that’s that. It’s as useless as NOWP comments.

This was what Jstack cut out of the text:

Sunday [6 and 7]

(1100) Genuinely 11 a.m. … looked up and there it was. (1200)

6. When I recently re-contacted my first real flame

… from many decades ago, she wondered if I had some unresolved issues from back then. Well yes, I do … but not actually about her per se … more about when phases, eras, started and stopped, in an archivist sort of way … call me strange.

Yesterday, for example, I was thinking about how old our parents were at different stages:

“Am doing some arithmetic. In 1942, average soldier was, say, 24. In 1946, looking to set up a family, he was 28, late but not too bad. Child by 30.  Many chn around 1948 onwards … Boomers.  So the soldier himself is maybe 37.  Soldier turns 70 in 1988, which is pretty much the last real, full-on war commemoration. I did those commemorations with the kids. A lot of time has passed since then … a lot. Hmmmm.  I never saw the end of the 80s as the end of the old guard, give or take … not at that time I didn’t.”

My focus, as mentioned, is becoming more and more on eras, on when things were ending but we were not aware at the time, for various understandable reasons.

I was thinking about my WN1, relevant age bracket 27 to maybe 37. You’ll also recall this youtuber I’ve been watching, named Jed Bila, US lady, very interesting history, url of maybe her most interesting topic further down here. New Yorker, talks with that nervous yet calm manner some of them have.

Her main shtick is dissing “modern young chicks”, uneducated, dumb, brainwashed, me me me, manhating when they don’t get their way.

Now, in the episode I’m referring to … HERE … she runs clips of these useless girls saying silly things, plus a young man in this particular one, plus a crying young lady who’s hitting the Wall now, alone, having invested everything in her “ejukation”, good job, money money money and to hell with men, just as the Fabian nasties in schools, plus leftist mothers, told her she had to.

As Jed Bila points out though … a woman peaks at 27 … looks, fertility, any financial power before they see she’s Peter Principle personified. Jed B is a woman of 46 … bright and on this mission.

However, my WN1 was in that zone JB mentions … starting at 27 and I’ll come out and say it … I’m thinking her peak as a person, as a human, where conflicting elements meet their median point … her point of maximum power, esp. in bed, might be 34. Then I thought more about it … after 34, her fertility starts dropping off in a safe way and after 37 really dips.

I’d say, and Jed also does in a way, that IVF is a nowhere, a consolation prize after 40. Now, she woke up very late … was on TV, Fox etc. … broke away, married and had the child at 40 … she says she only just got away with the closing of an era, was blessed to have a good man right at that time, she praises God, she says young women are being brainwashed, conned in so many ways and the result is the splitting of men and women, plus increasing fertility issues.

Now, in the light of the invaders, summed up in parlmt by that Mahmoud creature … the issues facing the indigenous here are massively important to the nation and to the west … they’re existential issues … and the young MUST WAKE UP before it’s too late.

Why do I not take up with a friend I just made in the last two days? Because of fertility for a start, also not sure she realises what I must be. Though men don’t have the menopause and I’m assuming all of us can still spring to attention … the quality of our seed diminishes after 40. Therefore, if we wish new progeny to have a sporting chance, we’re not in the game any more. End of.

So, I started thinking just when I did come to the end of being a viable procreator, in the light of the above? Well, it coincided with me flying back here, also the end of my parents’s era, though I never saw that at the time, otherwise I’d not have flown back. It also coincided with my new flame, plus job requirements … namely that I was fully employed and socking it away just then. A major downside was that my job was not conducive to meeting new procreators … there was a conjunction of circumstances.

Bitter regret that I’d never realised? Nope, how could it have been … I was too young and on the move then. All the above is me writing now, in later 2025. Just personally interesting methought. A further reflection now was that I ran into a tsunami of procreators not long after all that (all our birthdays, no), there was never a shortage of those interested … however I, myself, had left the run a bit late. Ho hum.

Bad choices along the way? Yes. But also some very good choices … 50/50 I’d say. So where’s all this going? Nowhere really … life’s been 50/50 for me … certainly no dead loss but also … hmmmmm … well. There it is.

Onto the next post soon.

Sunday [2 to 5]

(0801) Interesting that that earlier photo of the red dawn has been overtaken, swallowed up by low Gates cloud, dark grey, uniform, with acid rain drizzling to earth and river. Morning all by the way. (0840)

 

5. A couple of Brit items just to close off this post


Not doomed, Ms Juicy … darkest hour is before the dawn, so they say. Meanwhile, Simon below smiled when he saw my reply …


4. Quick TDS summary

… usual drill … brolls in navbar, Daily Sceptic url …


3. DAD at 1148

a) It is often claimed that Isl@mic violence is only committed by a “tiny minority of extremists”. If that is so, Birgitta Sparf asks, “Where are the Musl1m opponents of Musl1m violence”?

b) Macron’s Global Censorship push exposed: Leaked Ffles reveal France’s covert speech control campaign.

c) They ‘caught him in the act’.

d) The number of abortions in Russia has been steadily declining since the early 1990s.

e) This is your new Deputy PM…..

Special Triple Birthday today … yay !!!

The song below was sent to Toodles first, to Queen Bess second, to X:

… and now to our humble new blog built by us, to all at the tavern … Happy Birthday, all three !!!

Plus some lines via IYE:

Lives of great men all remind us.
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us,
Footprints on the sands of time;
Footprints, that perhaps another
Sailing o’er life’s solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.
HWLongfellow.

Plus wishing Steve well with his continued adventure, hopefully culminating in an eye witness report from Sep 13 London, plus to all of us who count ourselves at least an occasional part of this tavern !!!

There’s a second song, a lot darker song, a song of resilience by a Canadian band, appropriate for poor Canada, Britain and Downunder, while the US attempts to rise from the dark nightmare. Actually, it’s a song of hope, not gloom … praying for a new day at a time, powder dry, ready for battle:
