I can think of dozens that are not listed. The 50's, 60's and 70's were the golden years of great TV and countless dozens of super artists.
Todays TV and artists ? Rubbish !

The BBC are refusing to give air-time to this new hit record.

Your thoughts...

Can someone help with a link please?

Further to a couple of of posts about Musk and other super-rich interfering in the democratic process... Obviously we aren`t the only ones to question it, but so far no ones done anything. Maybe that`s about to end.

The European Union must commit to purchasing “large scale” amounts of US oil and gas or face tariffs, according to US president-elect Donald Trump.

In his latest trade war threat, the incoming GOP president spoke out against Brussels via his account on social media site Truth Social.

Trump said: "I told the European Union that they must make up their tremendous deficit with the United States by the large scale purchase of our oil and gas.

Otherwise, it is TARIFFS all the way!!!"

Big thank you to those of you who contribute to helping the cats in need i help!
Last month Suzy P forwarded £300 donations she received from kind people.
This went towards £750 bill for 12 year old Wendy who was 10 days at the vet’s and is now back and feeling much better.
The week before another old little kitty had a well needed dental that did cost £750.
She can now eat and is happy.
And more need to visit the vet…
I am offered lots of cat food to collect from up North but the problem is storing it.
Lock up garages are not cheap and need to be safe enough. Offered enough food to fill many garages…
Storage space is too expensive.
Will not be impressed when having missed on the opportunity i will have to buy cat food!
Have a jolly good Xmas
May 2025 bring you all much good luck and happiness!!!

The other day I was thinking about the TV shows I used to watch as a kid and Deputy Dawg was a cartoon that I haven't seen for years.
So I watched a few episodes on YouTube and it struck me how similar they are to American politics.
Deputy Dawg - An overweight person with low intelligence and an inflated sense of his own importance who thinks he's in charge - Donald Trump
Muskie Muskrat - Elon Musk
Vince Van Gopher - JD Vance
Ty Coon - All of the rich supporters.
The favourite past time of the last three is catfishing.

I am looking at some candlelight events in Rochester Kent .

But this man, is like a light in the dark. Someone who can see what is happening, how things are going, and if only, there were thousands, no millions in this country and in Europe that would stand up and say, and be counted , as he is on this phone in. I’d like to shake his hand

The new leaders of Syria, HTS, are a proscribed terrorist group because of links to Al Quaeda and ISIS. But they have never attacked foreign targets or civilian targets in Syria. They have only fought against the Assad regime.

Members of our armed forces are leaving at an alarming rate and recruitment is very low.
We have a total military size of about 150,000 (56% Army) including the Army, Navy and Air Force. It is the size of a pea nut compared to most other countries. There are 3 times as many young people in our Scouting organisation.
Great Britain of yesteryear is now a tiny mouse that roars.

I've just spent several days without a proper water supply because a valve jammed at the Cheam water treatment plant. It was either very low pressure of totally dried up. They supplied bottled water so I could at least get a cuppa and I used rainwater from the garden to flush the loo, but I couldn't have a shower for four days.
This morning I received four separate letters from SES Water, two of which had identical contents.
It just adds insult to injury that they're wasting money on postage when the infrastructure is failing.
They'll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes.

There are some interesting discussions and opinions out there that are worth listening to

James O'Brien responds to comments from the Health Secretary Wes Streeting, suggesting that the public has 'moved on' from Brexit

The comments in writing underneath the footage are enlightening 🙄 too
