It’s the 111th anniversary today of the birth of Harry Rée, who was a teacher and conscientious objector when the Second World War broke out, and by the time it ended, when he was 31, had invented ‘blackmail sabotage’ and got a DSO, an OBE, a Croix de Guerre, and a Medaille de la Resistance

Random Rock Song Of The Night

Cowboy Song
by Thin Lizzy

Though the song is strong lyrically, bass player and writer Lynott was never afraid to allow the axemen to dominate a track, and it features some typically blistering Lizzy soloing.

Just got a haircut, and my lovely barber, a Turkish guy who employs 6 people, and has a wife who's an IVF technician, is shutting up shop and moving to another country because his Indefinite Leave to Remain is under threat by these venal, stupid, posturing politicians, left and right.

BATTLE OF BRITAIN 85: 9th October 1940. Between heavy showers, several formations of Bf 109s crossed the coast, primarily aiming for London. From 11am to 1pm, over 100 fighters and Jabos were involved, then from 2pm another wave of some 150 aircraft appeared.
