- It's trivial compared to everything else but it was Mandelson who first started the privatisation of Royal Mail in 2009. He was probably still involved in 2013 when Lazard, who he worked for, became advisors to the coalition government. They made over £8 million in a week after privatisation.

- Down the pub. The Jukebox has just played Ace Of Spades live. Good stuff. Next up, some reggae tune I had to Shazam. Too Rude by The Rolling Stones. I never knew they had a reggae phase. Mind blown.
- I don't vote along party lines, I prefer independents who are free of the party political shitshow here in the UK, but the more I read about Polanski the more I'm leaning towards the Greens. I'm not naive enough to believe they'll do everything they say but just half of it will be an improvement.
- I suppose I should thank my new loud neighbours for forcing me to listen to Radio 6 to cover their constant jabber. Today I've listened to some rather good modern jazz and I'm even enjoying Craig Charles' funk and soul show. Me. Enjoying jazz and funk. For the first time ever. I'm 57.
- Got the radio on in the background. There's jazz playing. All of a sudden Fugazi and The Ex get mentioned. Who are they talking to? No-one in the UK mentions The Ex these days.

When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem.

- This reminds me of the Conservative standing in Surrey Heath after Gove resigned saying his links to the constituency included being at the RMAS for a while. That's in Bracknell Forest. He lost. First time in my lifetime we haven't had a Conservative MP.

- Delighted to see they still sell Matey bubble bath. It was Mr Matey when I was a kid in the 1970s but we've moved on from then. I used to love this stuff!
- Interesting tune just played on the radio. The Sound It Made by Robber Robber. youtu.be/E75yrvYCzKA?...
- There isn't a decent site that just lists gigs in the UK like we used to have in Sounds / NME etc. There used to be one tied to a punk website but that's bitten the dust. Might have to do the DIY punk thing and start one myself. Now then - how does one start a website?
- Checking local gig listings. Saw GWAR playing in a venue in Reading I've not heard of before. 1. I didn't know they were still going. 2. £60 to see them is very steep. 3. Click on listing to see if it's a festival or something only to find it's Reading, Pennsylvania, not UK. 1 and 2 are still valid.
- Sadly I'm Not Steve McQueen. youtu.be/nBvoboWIuHw?...
- Why do people feel the need to write "source?" under a post instead of looking it up themselves? I've just read a thread where there at least three of them asking it, even though the source was in the thread multiple times before their post. I suppose some people need to be spoonfed information.
- British Airways will be on the phone to Starmer begging he doesn't put reciprocal tariffs on Boeing and GE. They buy from Airbus and Rolls Royce as well but have a lot of 777s and GE powered 787s due in the next few years and they really need them to replace their 30 year old aircraft.

- I suspected it for years but was only officially diagnosed with ASD last year. It's the suspected ADHD they mentioned as well that's thrown me. I don't know which of my traits are due to which thing. Speaking to an old friend and he says it's been obvious for years I have ADHD. I didn't realise.
- It's always good to see Mark dive into UK bands he's not heard of before and disect their bass lines. Yesterday it was Toy Dolls. A song about Decca Wade from Angelic Upstarts! youtu.be/U2w-MQiC-fg?...
- This is interesting, apart from a Musk v O'Leary spat, which I'd pay to watch, I thought Starlink was supposed to be free for passengers (for now).

- I delivered an age-restricted item to a pub today. I made a big deal of asking the bloke behind the bar for ID before handing it over! Made me chuckle.

- Been playing Skycards for a few months now. I'm at level 32. I don't battle often as I still get hideously thrashed by long time players who I can never compete with but, once in a while, I get that wonderful feeling of beating a top 30 player. Like just now.

- Bloody hell. I've just learnt that the colours of the rainbow aren't what most of us think. Some say there are only six colours, others say blue is now cyan and indigo is now blue. It's this sort of shit that flies around my brain stopping me falling asleep most nights.

- Reposted by Punk PostieA very long and important THREAD - The real reason the US is invading Venezuela goes back to a deal Henry Kissinger made with Saudi Arabia in 1974. And I'm going to explain why this is actually about the SURVIVAL of the US dollar itself. Not drugs. Not terrorism. Not "democracy." 1/

- Subhumans and Inner Terrestrials coming to my home town in November as the very underused Agincourt starts hosting live music again. And my mate's band are supporting them. In the late 1980s we used to go to the rock and punk nights at The Ag. Now he'll be playing on the stage!
