What I ADORE about The Smiths singles/LP artwork is that it's a mix of filtered stills of cult actors, political imagery or British pop culture icons.
Which means (without the need for AI), it's easy and fun to make your own.

Aw, Jimmy Cliff. First thing that popped into my head was his appearance on Never Mind the Buzzcocks, where he reduced the sometimes very abrasive Mark Lamaar to putty belting out 'Many Rivers to Cross'

In my old houseshare, another housemate had a mate over and he took a load of ket.
Came home from a gig, found him in the kitchen making toast, but instead of using a knife with the butter... He was rubbing it in with his fingers.
He bellowed 'KNIVES ARE PUSSIES'
In a way, I miss that place.

Sometimes, if you've watched a lot of pro wrestling done really well, it can be an astoundingly gripping performance art.
Other times, it's 1992 and a bloke in a confederate flag ensemble called Dixie Dy-no-mite is grappling a fella called The Stormtrooper in full on swastika spandex.

Found my first ever headshot. This was taken 12 years ago and let's just say time has been a worthy adversery.

I know someone who claims to have never worked with anyone they'd consider problematic. But they're a fellow comic, pro wrestling fan and Red Dwarf fan like me... So fair play, that's a great bit of denial or some superb trolling.

Suzi Quatro might be a filthy Tory, but if I'd been a young lad in the 70's I'd have been absolutely in love with everything about her. She was pretty cool #totp

The Hoff on German TV (obvs) singing the delightfully schlock 'Everybody Sunshine' with, let me check...
An abundance of kids, a big blue cat, a haunting bear-like creature on a swing, a bagpiper and a backing singer putting in WAY too much effort.

80's homoerotic pro wrestling vignettes.
Designed to introduce new 'heartthrob' wrestlers to an area, and especially to appeal to female fans to attend the live shows, promoters would make these vignettes to sell them and well... Judge for yourself.

I want a Bond film where he is timeline age appropriate retired 007, but the plot is a courtroom drama where he's brought up on multiple decades of unpaid child support.
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

Because I'm in France, I'm sadly missing out on the annual "WHERE'S YOU FOOKIN' POPPY" watch.
So, in remembrance, here's the time The Cookie Monster appeared on The One Show... wearing a poppy.
I have so many questions about this (see below)

Here's a picture of a pub ashtray I've had in my phone for about a decade because the standing cig butts reminded me of Anthony Gormley's Another Place sculptures.

As an OG Top Gear fan, it's a real shame to read that Quentin Wilson passed away, aged only 68. He was great, a really amusing droll sarcasm in his verbal delivery.
A physically fascinating man to observe. Somehow looking like both a young Mr. Burns and an adult Stewie Griffin at the same time.
