10. Moosh corner


9. Pants on fire


8. Genocide


7. EU’s purpose to destroy European peoples


6. Afternoon events here

Think the jazz is sorted for later:


I really wanted to also do Joe Cocker reactions, as firstly, the performances were so passionate and lush, the young reactors in awe of how you actually needed talent back then … plus Steve B has a chart quiz in which one of the three numbers features:


I also have these two to run and not sure how I can fit them in today:


The thing with the Baskerville copy is it’s clear and HD … perfect for a Sunday or Monday Mat. But the Minder is shorter and more topical … especially in the light of Huntingdon. Decisions, decisions, help me out.

All Souls Day [1 to 5]

(0540) Morning all, dark out there. (0907)

 

5. All Souls Day

“All Souls’ Day, also called The Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed, is a day of prayer and remembrance for the faithful departed, observed by Christians on 2 November. In Western Christianity, including Roman Catholicism and certain parts of Lutheranism and Anglicanism, All Souls’ Day is the third day of Allhallowtide, after All Saints’ Day (1 November) and All Hallows’ Eve (31 October). Before the standardization of Western Christian observance on 2 November by St. Odilo of Cluny in the 10th century, many Roman Catholic congregations celebrated All Souls’ Day on various dates during the Easter season as it is still observed in the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Eastern Catholic churches and the Eastern Lutheran churches. Churches of the East Syriac Rite (Assyrian Church of the East, Ancient Church of the East, Syro-Malabar Catholic Church, Chaldean Catholic Church), (Syriac Catholic Church). commemorate all the faithful departed on the Friday before Lent. As with other days of the Allhallowtide season, popular practices for All Souls’ Day include attending Mass offered for the souls of the faithful departed, as well as Christian families visiting graveyards in order to pray and decorate their family graves with garlands, flowers, candles and incense. Given that many Christian cemeteries are interdenominational in nature, All Souls’ Day observances often have an ecumenical dimension, with believers from various Christian denominations praying together and cooperating to adorn graves.” (Wiki)

That’s better than I could have put it … it’s more ecumenical than All Hallows, it’s reverent towards our forebears, our fallen forces personnel, just about all in our lineage, except the baddies of course.

Derrick Evans (former J6er):


1. DAD at 1190

a) The Left Lie 1. The French Interior Minister and former Paris Police Prefect Laurent Nunez has filed a defamation lawsuit against four members of the hard-left, accusing them of falsely claiming that “the police kill”.

b) The Left Lie 2. LFI MP Abdelkader Lahmar claims to be “the son of people murdered by the French army” in Algeria… seemingly forgetting that he was born in 1971….

c) If Britain’s establishment parties had any sense, they’d spend taxpayer cash on detention centres for illegal migrants, not hotels.

d) The film “Sacré-Cœur” is an unexpected success. The initiative is quite unusual: the former singer of a boy band [Steven Gunnell] who was popular in the 1990s converted to Catholicism and has just made a documentary glorifying the Sacred Heart.

e) The return of the ‘Ladies only’ carriages on the French railways? Following an attempted rape by a migrant on the RER C commuter train….

Saturday [16 till close of play]

(1512) well before evening still … that’s a good sign that time’s slowed down a bit.

19. Why did diners die?

Ggl says:

“Diners are “dying” due to a combination of economic pressures, cultural shifts, and competition from fast-food and other restaurant chains. The rise of franchises offered more consistent and reliable options, while modern challenges like rising rents, labor shortages, and the lingering effects of the pandemic have made it difficult for traditional diners to compete. Additionally, changing consumer habits, a preference for curated or visually appealing social media dining experiences, and the aging of pre-fabricated diner structures contribute to their decline.”

I went to one mid 90s in San Diego … already, the waterfront was touristy … Pier this or that. The quality of food was much better from what we saw in movies and shows, the hygiene probably better … they charged like a wounded bull.

But elsewhere?

Don’t know why but I like such places or the concept of them. I once stayed overnight in Narbonne, south of France and went down to breakfast … place was soooo busy, everyone dressed, I thought what’s going on? Could hardly get served … all the regulars were getting theirs …

… then suddenly, they were up, paid and gone. Workers on their way to work. Like wow. I’d been on the edge of that. It meant far more to me than subsequent sights. Proprietor now came over, relaxed, all the time in the world.

Coming back to diners … did people tip? How much? Servis compris? How did it work? I detest servis compris, although I can understand from the waiting staff point of view. I want to leave base 10% if it was ok, up to 25% for really good. Americans might laugh at that meanness on my part … what do you tip? I want to tip for service, not for some assumption.

18. Anyone else remember?


17. Sudan eh? And Nigeria?

Saturday [6 to 10]

(1058) Almost elevenses, folks. N6 below is for my new pinned tweet in my X profile. (1153)

 

10. Moosh in Tinatown (some will understand)

8. First of a few from the Donald


7. Two ladies tweet


6. In my profile on X

… I’ve written: “no DMs pls involving crypto or intim, I do respond to friends I know from timeline”

Men mainly (but not solely) following me as MAGA-friendly too many times do not first check my profile page blurb and start DMing about crypto, usually on the second or third chat exchange. I then click out.

Girls usually do check my profile out first and so do I with them (a girl, to me, is a generic term for a female maybe 23 to 63 or more). Again, if she comes at me with the raw intim, I assume it’s Boris from Moscow or the Ukraine and click out.

Call it egotistical but if someone is not interested enough to know about me before DMing, then I’m not interested enough to continue a conversation. I really like my X friends, we have some good banter, show support … and that’s about it really.
