I ignored every single warning sign my body was sending me for three straight weeks before I had a massive heart attack when I was forty-seven years old. I’m talking about signs like stress, indigestion, or just getting older.
I thought that only movie stars who clutched their chest and fell over in a heap had heart attacks. I had no idea that my body was sending out warning signs. Signs like fatigue that just wouldn’t go away no matter how much I slept. Signs like jaw pain that I attributed to grinding my teeth. Signs like indigestion that antacids couldn’t touch. Signs like shortness of breath when I climbed stairs that I used to climb easily. I ignored all of these signs until I fell over in my driveway.
The truth is that your body will send out distress signals a month or so before you have a heart attack, but most people will ignore these signs or write them off as minor symptoms.
Here are the actual symptoms. Severe episodes of inexplicable fatigue, particularly in women—your heart is working hard to pump blood effectively. Difficulty breathing while performing ordinary tasks—your heart is not receiving adequate oxygen. Periodic chest pain, commonly attributed to heartburn. Pain radiating to the jaw, neck, shoulder, or arm. Cold sweats without any apparent reason. Nausea and gastrointestinal problems. Dizziness or lightheadedness. Irregular heartbeats or palpitations. Most people suffer from these symptoms for weeks before the actual attack.
Thanks to a guide that I discovered to survive when the shelves are bare, there is no electricity, and doctors are not available, I learned about various methods to identify key health alerts and employ potent natural remedies to promote heart health before the disaster occurs. This guidebook has literally saved me by learning the symptoms of cardiac trouble and reversing my heart disease by making lifestyle changes since my heart attack.
But now I no longer just push through symptoms or write them off as normal signs of aging. This means taking persistent fatigue seriously as a symptom of a heart problem. Seeking immediate care if I have chest pain or inexplicable shortness of breath. Recognizing that the symptoms of a heart attack are often not dramatic but subtle. Tracking blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Supporting heart health through healthy eating, rather than waiting until an emergency. And, of course, recognizing that your body always gives you a warning before a big event—whether you’re listening or not until it’s catastrophically too late.
“Westminster Bridge wouldn’t have looked like that if we’d have lost the Battle of Britain in 1940. Look at London now though; we lost it, or rather our despicable political class gave it away. That is never the end though, as John Paul Jones once said: “We have only just begun to fight”. That is our destiny, because if we don’t we’ll lose not just London but the whole damn country. There are reasons people fight..”

You were noticed … I’m following a procedure where if it has a url link, it generally appears in a post. If a comment is a major one but no link, I’ll archive it as a rule at UHC-WP. Takes time, must use time well … if it’s in comments for now, it ain’t goin’ nowhere … as long as it’s sonewhere at least, that’s the main thing.

a) The Three P’s of Rural Racism: …..People, …..Pubs, and …..Pets. The British countryside is “too white.” At least that is, according to Defra—the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs. Following a report in 2019, National Landscapes—a charity mostly funded by Defra….
b) Sir Jim makes it clear….. “I am sorry that my choice of language has offended some people…….”
d) If you’ve been following recent UK political scandals, you’ve probably seen individual stories surface in the news. But what happens when you step back and look at the bigger picture? In this video, we examine a growing pattern of sexual misconduct scandals….
That heading quote is from Don McLean’s American Pie and his commentary on post-war until 1971/2 “rock history”.
With the greatest respect to our senior member here, nearing 90, a musical dedication to him coming up later (called Sunday) and accepting that each classical or baroque piece pinpoints in itself a sub-era so to speak, what was the rage at the time … so does popular music of more recent, post-war sub-eras … or in other words, throughout the duration of our own lives.
Part of that has been reestablished contact with my first genuine Valentine’s romance after so many decades now, plus other ladies of various eras … and that has sharply focussed my mind at least on how far a person is always of his/her era, with its thinking process, but also how far he/she has explored other eras and likes or skips past various eras. Clumsy construction but you get the idea.
And into eras and sub-eras comes the modern (though also biblical) notion of labelling a generation … it’s quite possible to do immediately post war but starts to lose its validity into the 80s and has almost diversified into quite different musical camps by the mid-90s, at which point, imho, the music did, finally, genuinely grind to a halt and die, coinciding with the rise of autotuning. It quite lost its way, went dark and satanic, inc. Minaj.
So we’d been through proto-punk, punk, post-punk, techno, disco, grunge, glam … plenty of other genres … and then we get to Britpop:
“Britpop was a British music and cultural movement that emerged in the 1990s. Musically, it produced bright, catchy alternative rock that drew heavily on the traditions of 1960s guitar-based British pop, with lyrics that emphasised national identity and offered commentary on British culture and society. The movement was seen as a reaction against the darker lyrical themes and soundscapes of the American-led grunge and the more introspective shoegaze scene in Britain. It helped bring British alternative rock into the mainstream and became a key part of the broader Cool Britannia phenomenon, which echoed the spirit of the Swinging Sixties.”
I largely missed entire sub-eras after the mid 70s … I was vaguely aware of something called a Nirvana and some teen spirit thing people went on about but I never knowingly heard any of it until exploring it relatively recently. I also vaguely knew of some guy called Kurt and something about him dying … big deal, Jim Morrison and Hendrix had died, Joplin, Sandy Denny. As for Pink Floyd … that largely passed me by, except for Meddle, which I liked. Not forgetting that I was a Radio DJ at that point for a year or so, playing mainly Krautrock and Hawkwind.
I did know of The Clash but had never been deeply into “down by the wivver” rock, completely missed Oasis, Queen (except I want to be free) … yet as the 80s became the 90s, I knew MC Hammer, Paula Abdul, Betty Boo, Twenty4Seven, boy bands such as Take That and Backstreet Boys, and of course Ska and Two-Tone … so how had I missed all the rest?
Around 1995, I was on a bus to Blackpool (don’t even ask) with a London girl deeply into Oasis … I’d heard there were two Gallaghers who didn’t like one another, we sat on the beach together, speaking of nothings … maybe she’d heard of Blondie and New Order, maybe even Slade but I’d never knowingly listened to some Guns and Roses thing … seemed to be big in the lives of various young ladies I knew.
And so we finally get to Torquaymada at 1294:5:
“The particular subject may not appeal to all (some might say ‘who cares?’) but this article should be of interest. Our host … often challenges us to ‘dig deeper’ into the multiple offerings and ‘starting points’ proffered here.
Whether you like it or not, this is a masterclass in ‘deep diving’ to my mind…”.
I found it fascinating and forgive my plug for NOWP (see navbar above) but there is so much reading and viewing there, going right back … there’s our era in real time. And yes, I’m also going to urge people to work through the anecdotes at UHC-WP. If I don’t oush HQ all that much, it’s coz I’m writing much of it.
Now, with your permission, I must revert, briefly, to Don McLean because last night I saw another reaction to him from young people … yes, I much prefer to see how the “old music” affects the young or does not, obviously the things they know nothing of but also the things they’re quite interested in. Dozens of youtube reactors (mainly Millennial or early Gen Zee) are avidly exploring the old and my vintage seems to be going to comments threads to supply primary source info.
To my mind, the whole thing is healthy and if we take that, plus what you chaps and chapesses are supplying here … well I for one am piecing together quite a postwar roadmap of what went on at our level. Sorry to confess to my first romantic love back then but part of it is placing “us” in the wild events, the eras, more accurately, more definitively, seeing just how one summer of love signed off on one era … began another. One day, I’ll write it all up. Maybe.
However, that’s not what this post is actually about. It’s about Torquaymada, plus Sloopy. You wot?! Yep, and the second part of it involves multiple youtubes.
In 1965, The McCoys came out with Sloopy, based on a so g from the previous year by a black band: My Girl Sloopy, which did not go into the charts due to the tyrannical music controllers of the time. But the McCoys’ version did … pre video, pre MTV.
The version most people know has a raunchy, though dressed girl, Lisa Leonard Dalton, with “more moving parts than a machine”, as someone put it. And yes … as good as the song was, the braless Lusa was the focus of all eyes.
But here’s the thing. The producers put the 1975 vision behind the 1965 band … they spliced the two, as Lisa LD wasn’t in that 1965 version … she was born in 1956 and is still around today. And thus it was the 1975 version she was in the video of, being brought in from where she’d won some go-go dancer awards.
And the first thing is that yes … viewers wanted her, wanted to know all about her … but the lead singer wanted it to be all about the band and the song … the girl was an incidental. Not in our eyes she wasn’t. And when she finally saw how people were ascribing her performance to some other woman, she was highly p***ed about it:
Or in video form:
This is the 1975 version of the song, in MTV form, not 1965 at all (YT or WP refuse to embed it):
Unusual to close off the numbered posts with a feature but you’ll see why. Was gathering for tomorrow and this below appeared … continues under the video …
The character is AI but not Amelia. Uh huh … ok … fine, think I prefer this one and the uses “she” is put to are commendable … in fact, they’d be good for school lessons methinks.
Think of the potential of tech to get the country back in each western nation … but of course, the history must be as authentic as possible.

… with war room. While SKB is being discussed, at the same time, our Steve points out that the issues at war room are also important in themselves.
This is the n1 issue with our model at Unherdables … we are a news service with one exception in bias … we will not run Woke ideology. Therefore those largely onboard, say with 80% of what’s going on, can still fall out over that last 20%. This is the nature of finding things out.

… the truth it was hidden as it ever has been:
“The truth Would Collapse The Entire Government – Bondi”
“Sherlock Holmes Faces Death is the first film in the Universal Sherlock Holmes series (1942 -1946) to abandon the idea of Sherlock Holmes as a prototypical 007 spy-hunter, battling Nazi agents and keeping Britain safe from the Axis powers.
The bizarre experiment which began, apparently without a shred of irony, with Sherlock Holmes and the Voice of Terror was brutally maimed when Sherlock Holmes in Washington flopped.
And so, the direction of the series changed (for the better) with the fourth outing, Sherlock Holmes Faces Death…to the point that it can almost be viewed as the starting point of a completely new Holmes series.
Here, the allusions to WWII are vague, at best. Gone are the overt references to the Nazis and the intrusive patriotic speeches…which merely impeded the proceedings in the previous films. Holmes is in his element here, solving a dense mystery by using deductive reasoning. The film is still modern, making use of such devices as automobiles, telephones, and electric lights.
But this is all incidental. If we overlook the updating of the surface elements, the story itself is rather timeless. Telephones and automobiles were present in Conan Doyle’s later Holmes stories, anyway…and the Gothic tone of this film (and several of those which followed) gives it an almost Victorian or Edwardian feel, despite being obviously set in the mid-20th Century.
And most importantly, Holmes is back to the business he should never have abandoned.
Loosely based on The Musgrave Ritual, the film is entertaining and certainly of higher technical quality than its predecessors, despite the fact that the series was forever doomed to the ranks of the low budget B-pictures. The camera work is evocative, with fluid motions and intriguing angles…which would become a staple of the Holmes series…and the direction is excellent, with Roy William Neill (who also began his role as Associate Producer with this film) really coming into his own as the driving force behind the franchise.
Rathbone’s Holmes (whose hair has, thankfully, undergone quite a transformation) is in better form here than in previous entries…detached and focused, he relies on reasoning, rather than chance, in order to solve the mystery that’s presented to him. Nigel Bruce, as Watson, turns in his usual bumbling-yet-lovable performance. Dennis Hoey once again manages to out-bumble Watson as Inspector Lestrade of Scotland Yard…a canonical character who made his first Universal appearance in Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Weapon, and would go on to appear in a total of six of the twelve films.
Overall, not the best film in the series, but a step in the right direction. Once the filmmakers got their proper footing, in regard to the series’ new and improved direction, they produced much better work…peaking, many (myself included) would attest, in 1944 with The Scarlet Claw.
Other subsequent Holmes titles, such as The Spider Woman and Terror By Night, also outshine, in my estimation, this fourth Universal venture. But this film marked the great change that heralded all the treasures to come…and as such, has amassed much favor among fans and critics alike.

Lara talks Persia:
MEDIA BLACKOUT ON IRAN: Why Thousands of Deaths Are Going Unreported On this midweek episode of ROGUE ROUNDUP, Lara Logan and Producer/Co-Host Luke Coffee examine the media blackout surrounding Iran’s regime violence, the shutdown of independent reporting on the ground, and the troubling silence from international institutions as children are being killed. Thousands of protesters killed in Iran. Children shot in the streets. And almost no coverage. In more than three decades in journalism, Lara Logan says she has never seen a government murder its own people in such numbers while receiving so little sustained media attention. Wall-to-wall coverage for some stories. Silence for others. Why? They also ask a difficult question: Why isn’t a media apparatus that relentlessly attacks President Donald Trump hammering negotiations with a regime accused of murdering thousands? Plus: • The latest Epstein file revelations • Serbia at a cultural crossroads • The Christian genocide in northern Nigeria • The growing failure of international institutions

3. Some sort of Valentine’s Op Ed
Trouble is … V Day means different things to different corners of the west. To some, it’s strictly two partners, e.g. hubby and wife, fiance and fiance, to others it’s two lovers, to others someone you’d love to be with, to others sordidly sexual, no finesse … to others a reaffirming of close friendships. Any sort of Valentine’s message is a mood lifter, whatever its intention, unless it’s a bad reading of signals.
For me, it’s the most awkward day of the year, simply because of how recipients read signals … it’s too easy to either overstep and assume something we have no right to or else we fall short of how (usually she) sees it. Plus, if a lady is already in an understanding with some fine chap (e.g. her hubby), then no man I know wishes to tread on his territory … we tend to step back due to the “bro-code”.
There are about two dozen ladies I call friends … and they wildly vary in closeness. A few days back, certain very close ladies inc. exes) made contact or I did, then them … that’s well sorted, we all know where we are to a tee. But on X, it’s the wild west, ranging from real affection to a bit of banter online which keeps us sane in this dystopic west now. The chances of overstepping or falling short are many.
So my approach will be to use Valentine’s on X today as my usual greeting to this lady or that, hoping my male friends will understand that this day is not for me to propose to them. With ladies … well, they are the ones calling the tune, it’s ever so, laying down the rules of engagement (unfortunate word in this context?), issuing the signals.
At OoL and UHC (two blogs), I’m assuming all chaps would join with me in wishing our lady or ladies warm wishes … it’s then up to our gallant chaps whether to add to these words or stay shtum for reasons of safety.

a) Here is someone who found that Friday 13th was unlucky. Released from prison last December and listed as a security risk, he had announced his attack and had been on the run ever since… The suspect, born in Mantes-la-Jolie (Yvelines) in 1978, was currently residing in Aulnay-sous-Bois (Seine-Saint-Denis)…..
