🧵 When I draw I am greatly influenced by Irish mythology, culture & landscape. This is my photo of Kerry where, ancient the Bohan’s lived for a thousand years.

You can’t escape your past, as you can see in my art as you scroll down this thread & see my one-off ink on paper drawings [1]

Spent the evening enjoying @thektbushband playing in Ware. Reminded how crazy talented Kate Bush was, and how little of her early work I remember or was even aware of! The band are great performers with some nive anecdotes.

The lead guitarist is not visible in the photo. The photo is feo' a live performance and is quite dark. There is a black background.

A car I very much desired as a kid. I wish I had bought one when they were just cheap cars somewhere in the late 80's.
Still this looks nice and if my numbers come up I could at last scratch that itch.

Strong Ford Zodiac look about it. Or maybe a Zypher I can never remember which one is which.

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

this high quality gag came from someone who is also here but as he hasn’t posted it himself I assume he doesn’t want to be tagged to share in the glory

Farage is being interviewed. He says “I WAS ABOUT 14 AND IT WAS OVER THE PHOTO OF EVA BRAUN”. The interviewer says “ERM... I ASKED YOU ABOUT THE WEST BANK”

I was handicapped by this, having the wrong name, well, the US market name, but the proper name was my first thought! An amount of flailing around followed this!

Got to love a time when a "sports car" with a mid-mounted engine could happily get by with 85bhp!

Private Eye offers up an excellently scornful commentary on the relentless polling. It’s become ridiculous and has oversimplified our politics to dangerous levels of stupid and irresponsible.

SHOCK POLL:
NIGEL FARAGE WILL BE PM TOMORROW
IN an amazing poll conducted
by The Pointless Polling Company, it was revealed that voters' intentions
may well change over the next three and a half years and at present it's 100 percent impossible to guess what the next government might look like.
However, 99 percent of journalists
agree that it would be much more fun if we had an election tomorrow and everybody resigned and everything was chaos and Farage had a go at being PM, just for the hell of it, because it was so much fun when
Brexit happened and then the government kept falling every five minutes and we could write endless pieces about (cont. p94)

I watched this last night on iPlayer, I worked in London in the mid 80's but didn't spent time in Soho. Found this really interesting and a bit jarring as to how inaccurate my memory is!

Well you did better than me 😕
I think we have that with a different name. As I didn't get the brand it made little difference to Cardle 5/5

Here’s a colour I’m not too familiar with (have you heard of it?) & I’m wondering what’s the best way to describe it - a light orange or a warm beige?

Just spent a frustrating and ultimately unsuccessful morning trying to buy Maisie Peters tickets for my daughter for a gig on Friday.
Ticket buying is a disheartening process.

I worked.at a Vauxhall dealership in London for a while. Once had a conversation with a cop who was concerned that with 4 cops in full kit a gun cabinet in the boot an Omega would exceed it's Max Gross Weight.
