It’s not Top Trumps, but I live in Belfast - imagine the horror upon horror of seeing a Union Jack and Israeli flag flown by the same community. I’ve seen Palestinian flags too, which I think acceptably counters the Israeli, but I’d bin (and burn) the lot.

Which brings me back to The Ets/ Sandbag never making it easy. The number of times I’ve fallen at their hurdles 😡 And now, I see that the cd single has sold out - hopefully there’s some held back for cock ups such as mine.

At least I got the black vinyl - the irony of the ye olde fashioned classic colour being the rarer variant!

Annoyingly ordered both vinyl and cd single - but they only packed the record. Sent fist-shaking email to Sandbag, the Ets never make ordering their stuff easy 😢

That Bonnie Raitt song, “I can’t make you love me, if you don’t…” Find a way to move your goal posts so your expectations are more on your terms. Also, don’t fixate on what’s missing, look at what you have (which I know you do - the latter). In short: fuck ‘em!

Happy Cate Le Bon day to all who celebrate.

100% on all counts. I think we need a break and hopefully he will be it. There was 3/4 of an hour in 97 when I didn’t despair at the leadership, my head hurts! 😒😄

Is he the person to stymie the despair? If he’s not, then who is? I can’t think of one current ‘left’ MP who can inspire.

And switch off social media. If it gets too much, the noise in your head. Walk away.

Hmmmm I half agree (mostly the Liverpool stuff), but take the singles and the covers away from WTTP and the leftover tracks are gorgeous and strong ie Black Night White Light and The World Is My Oyster especially. I’d have culled the covers, made them b-sides like Rage Hard’s.

This should surely surprise no one by now? Every Netanyahu-enabler should be ashamed.

@wednesdayerskin.bsky.social doesn’t waste words, characters or narrative. Everything in The Benefactors has purpose. I haven’t loved a book so much in a while. You will rage, be resigned, rage some more and know why and how you got there. Go read it!
