Under a blood red sky
A crowd has gathered in black and white
Arms entwined, the chosen few
The newspapers says, says
Say it's true, it's true
And we can break through
Though torn in two
We can be one

I, I will begin again
I, I will begin again

Didnt listen to any of my playlist, spent most of the time on utbe! Glade to see the back of that year, though I dont suppose much will change soon.
On a brighter thought I wish everyone here a better and great new year, especially chunk best wishes for this year.

My old mum came round. I made a Ruby and we put some music on. After wrapping up with an encore of Irish rebel songs, she insisted on being taken home so she could 'have a puff' and watch a film about an MI6 agent saving Britain from the outside world (Skyfall).

It's a funny old game...

Why do I feel the urge to play Billy Bragg's "Half English," at high volume, to every Brexiteer I encounter?

Two blokes in a supermarket chatting, one says to the other, "I'm looking forward to January 1st so we don't have to have these Covid tiers any more." True story apparently, and I've no reason to doubt the source.

Happy new year to all of you! Hope it'll be a better one than the last. Yesterday morning the children came and we started the day with a Weißwurst and Weißbier breakfast. Celebrating with only my wife in the evening didn't protect me from drinking as much as usual on celebration days. So a slightly reduced start for me into the new year. Curing my pain with beer.
