Didn't realise Marvin's legacy is still a big tourist attraction in Ostenede but his creative time with Freddy Cousaert in Belgium is well documented.

The Instagram comments on "Netanyahu needs surgery" are unanimously fair and warranted.

South Africa is actually Israel's biggest trading partner in Africa. https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2023/10/14/israel-hamas-war-why-is-africa-divided-on-supporting-palestine Ireland and Israel both have huge tech sectors. So I suppose most of trade is in that area??

the UN's independent observer in Palestine, human right lawyer Francesca Albanese presented her report on the war in Gaza in Geneva on Tuesday 26-3-2024. the report titled Anatomy of a Genocide was abolutely damning and everyone should read it or at least listen to what she had to say in the...

Tony Grealish (West Brom) 1980's 'no smoking' jersey.

The UCI, Amuary Sport (owns TdF and all big French races plus other big events) etc. barely even pretend to care about stopping doping

This is well worth reading if you follow pro cycling. Kate Wagner is a pro cycling journalist and throughout she compares F1 with bike racing. Particularly as Jim Radcliffe boss of INEOS sponsors both sports (he also recently bought a 25% stake of Man Utd and runs the football side of the club...

There was a documentary about Yellowstone giant volcano (on BBC possibly?) in 2000's. Two similar documentaries from the time were - The normally seismically quiet Pacific north west of US has a history of huge earth quakes every 300 odd years and the last one was circa 1700. The other doc was...

More generally a lot of anti racist commentary I read in the last 15 years (identity politics era) criticises activists who still don't quiet get it. e.g. I have sooo many Black / Latino / Muslim / LGBT+ friends. I did African American studies. I speak so many languages. I love Latino /...

Cheers. You can subscribe to Jewish Currents mailouts for free. Lots of good writing in there - strongly left wing, Pro Palestinian etc.

there was a great hardcore punk record by a US band called KORO - 700 Club 7" about 1983. the first time I heard of this condition was when it was first bootlegged. that is all. feel free to continue...

85 years of neutrality is the best thing about the Irish government - even if it is flimsy at times.

Trash article by former Israeli ambassador to UK Mark Regev. Only thing he could come up with was Eamon De Valera sympathising with Nazi ambassador after Hitler blew his brains out. Nothing in there we didn't know and we all detest De Valera already. I am glad Likud and their allies know Irish...

I will go to something local on the basis if it is not supported there will be no more gigs or to meet friends but that is about it. I am posting at 4:35 am 'cause I went to sleep by 8:20 pm. Often seem to be awake before it gets bright these days.

actually making sure that kids understand the concepts was not a huge concern when I was at school. if I was teaching I would ask kids questions like ''what is colonialism?'' and keep asking them prodding questions like: ''has colonialism ever happened in Europe?'' hopefully someone would say...

I could not have a more different perspective on walking. no idea where that hombre was coming from. I do very moderate exercise for the crack (7 miles in 1 hour 50 is decent cardiac exercise but it will only burn off about 300+ calories). I go out on quite roads too enjoy being outside alone...

RE: BBC LENTINI article above: I remember that early 90's Torino team well but to be honest it was huge shock when Milan bought Lentini for 13 million in summer 1992. I wouldn't have noticed him much in a fine team w/ Scifo, Casagrande, Marchegiani, Martin Vasquez, Mussi etc. the Torino team...

I saw a BBC documentary about this in the 2000's. It said Pacific NW suffered mega quakes every 300 years and the last one was circa 1700. at the time they also did a similar doc on Tenerife collapse that would cause a mega Tsunami but that might not happen for thousands of years. Massively more...

Wow - 'Sonny' is awesome! He sums up why I love football. In the part where he is talking to former footballer Jan Age Fjorfoft he shows how good his knees are! He's very fresh for a man of 90. He's a handy jazz drummer too. Sonny (Helmut) didn't know his parents were Jewish until the...

Boarding schools have a lot in common with borstals. Why someone would send a child there is mystery. Very miserable places places to grow up unless you want to be a pro rugby player or something.
