Used to drive past MOs country estate on the way to and from work for years.

1 autumn afternoon,driving up the bleak country road towards his place,the wind was blowing,leaves blowing off the trees and Tubular Bells came on the radio😆😆😈

I remember quite a few people at the time saying they were possessed😂
There was one girl at our school,we were only 10,who stabbed herself through the palm of her hand with a compass saying she was possessed.😆
BTW Friedkin dir. 3 of the 70s game changers: this,French Connection and Cruising

Filmed in my home town Bristol.

At the time,we were late teens/early 20s punks.layabouts etc just left home,living in bedsits,shared flats/houses.

Lots of students,squats etc in the area it was filmed,we were very 'political'🤣(Rrrrriiikkkk) so it felt like a documentary😆

Ceremony.
I played drums in a band early 80s and me and bass player would warm up with this.

He would go on an improv jam,me just holding the drums down then vice versa.We would then drop it right back,same pace,and go into the intro to Bela Lugosi's Dead.💀😆

Great song

In the early 70s Nixon said with a well educated pop. the Reps. would never govern again.

That is why he got rid of free college.He was of course enthusiastically backed by Reagan.
Trump is the end game.

Pork....cheese.....lettuce....conkers....trickling...moths.
She's not a politician @sirmichaeltake.bsky.social she's a meal deal.
It's like a Sccoby Doo episode-posing as a politician when her real ambition all along was to be a cheap nutritious meal....and we all fell for it...bwaahaahaahhaa...😂

If a Lab council did this the Farage/Reform/Brexit cult would be howling about "Woke commie DEI traitors" destroying Brit history and culture because they hate the UK blah blah.

Just shows that they are shameless, unprincipled & incompetent chancers whose answer to everything is 'immigrants'.

I saw the NY in with a bang with Jill from the village shop.
Like her heroine Liz Truss she opened a pork market and trickled down.
I've only just recovered hence my tardy despatch from the front lines.
