In a foul mood today. Anyone posting an inspirational life-enhancing pearl of wisdom gets unfriended. If it comes with a picture of a sunrise over mountains, or something similar, they get blocked. No exceptions.
Nostalgists like myself like to think of the past as a gentler, more innocent time. We're kidding ourselves, of course. Here's an advert from 1968 for BOAC - the state airline - effectively advertising sex tourism.

The Black Cuillins look so grim, and yet so strangely beautiful.
Wordsworth’s “Immortality Ode” in limerick form: In childhood ‘tis easy to feel Th’eternal suffusing the real, But as the beholder Gets steadily older, It doesn’t seem such a big deal. (I wish I could lay claim to this masterpiece, but sadly, it’s anonymous.)
I have no words Afghan women die in rubble as male rescuers refuse to touch them telegraph.co.uk/gift/bd5de6d17…
Late night Friday. Watching "Bird", Clint Eastwood's biopic of Charlie Parker. And I'm drinking tea.
In 1887, Peter Pan author J. M. Barrie founded a cricket team whose members included A.A. Milne, Arthur Conan Doyle, H. G. Wells, P. G. Wodehouse, G. K. Chesterton, and Rudyard Kipling.
Will be settling in front of the TV tonight to watch Denmark vs Scotland. Carlsberg? Nah - make mine a Glenlivet.
I do still wear a jacket with lapels & a shirt with collar - just out of habit, I guess - and would rather welcome ties being fashionable again, if only to give me sonething to wipe my glasses on!

I read an old blog post on “Don Quixote” (I won’t link to it) where the blogger says they found it “disappointing”. Hmm. But it’s not really “Don Quixote” that’s on trial here, is it?
Right-on scriptwriters have one form of bigotry they’ll happily indulge — a contempt for the past, with historical figures presented as obscene, murderous caricatures thecritic.co.uk/historic-failu…
For my bedtine reading tonight, I read how Sherlock Holmes recovered the Black Pearl of the Borgias. What a delight to enter that fictional world again, even after all these years. Key insights? Bugger key insights!

The problem with my watching “University Challenge” these days is while I’m still saying “Hang on … I know this …” they’ve already answered a half dozen more questions. I used to have very quick recall once upon a time. Ah, the ravages of… er… …of old age! Them’s the words!
Don’t listen to those who say there are no such thing as ‘British values’ (or ‘English values’). There are many important ones, and it is reasonable to have limits on migration of those wholly opposed to these. ianpace.wordpress.com/2025/08/26/wha…
Sex festival in Tunbridge Wells? Why does no-one tell me about these things?
Bloody hell!
