Don't know how many early 80's Brockwell Park gigs there were, but I probably did most, if not all. Some incredible bands and singers supporting even greater causes. CND, Mandela, Miners, and more I'm sure. As an old man now it all merged into one. But Richie Havens singing Freedom, never forgotten.
¡Ojalá! 😉 Bars and restaurants worldwide are up in arms against unqualified “influencers” and critics. www.instagram.com/p/Dbm0mBBMM6P/

Got sent this by a friend. Andy at the deck playing “Oops Upside Your Head” as I look in disgust.
The only tournament he’s played in not at one of his courses- shot 52 over par, came in 62/80 celebrities.

Drinking organic Verdejo, eating grapes, watching cricket and it nearly rained today. I feel like a Roman emperor.
11:15am yesterday, our village. Are these the first migrants from Ceuta to reach Dorset? A number of young lads in Cub Scout uniforms leapt out of a minibus & invaded Jill’s shop. They had no idea what Apple Cobbler was and taunted Simple Sally with their woggles. Deport. Now.
French forces held a fierce defensive perimeter around Dunkirk and lost 18,000 souls. 40,000 became POWs. Without their resolve we wouldn’t have our nation’s story. It’s estimated 20-60k French resistance fighters died during the war. These fuckers really are vile bastards 😡😡
Indeed he did - things like "the one thing stopping me from being a teacher was that I could not remotely conceive of not trying to shag the kids"
Always a treat visiting Lahpet in Covent Garden, London. Fabulous Burmese food including their signature lahpet thoke (tea leaf salad), pe palata (yellow pea flatbread), braised beef curry and ohn no kauk swé (chicken and noodles in a rich coconut broth). 🌿
The name of this playlist is hilarious 😂😂😂 the songs are 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Decent bit of lunch..... The utterly fabulous Boatman at Windsor. Try everything on the menu but if the tuna is on never miss our. Medium rare please. Ace glass of Clare Valley Riesling, and oh what a view.
More Louis Armstrong courtesy of BBC4.... I've just discovered that his (brilliant) house band drummer forever was Danny Barcelona. I may be biased but obviously the coolest name ever.
Watching Louis Armstrong in concert on BBC4. Never knew he sang You'll Never Walk Alone" and moreover always dedicated it to the troops in Vietnam. If you couldn't love a man enough.
Has Infantino resigned yet? Or does he need to be dragged kicking and screaming?
Not sure who did this but they should be arrested immediately.
Infantino is truly the most Trump adjacent FIFA president ever, his ability to unite historically warring tribes just in sheer hatred for him is unparalleled
