Anyone heard that Marigold flower juice applied directly to a sty in the eye can cure it? I've seem to remember being told that when I was a boy, but I just wanted to make sure.

I've said it before, but recent images of the hellish visage of Tony Blair remind me. he's committed so much evil that it shows on his face; It's like he is his own picture of Dorian Grey

10 years ago, the legend Tony Benn died. This pic is when he and I were the only two people to turn up at an anti-animal testing event (for Europeans for medical progress that is now Safer Medicines) so we took the opportunity to have our photo taken outside number 10. He was a lovely charming man.

I know news coverage of benefit cuts can be distressing. So, I wanted to do something for readers. If you click on a Guardian news story, you’ll see a “drop box” of signposted mental health support as well as benefits advice. Please do share. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

This is shocking. ITV reporting that even those with extreme disabilities in the unfit to work category are likely to lose money under new government plans. Charities have branded the move catastrophic

Now, in 2024, I use a Roland TDK 30, and the sizes are irrelevant as you can assign any sound to any drum pads, but the configuration is similar. Less cymbals but you can get 2 sounds from them with diff pressure, and also assign separate sounds to drum rims, potentially doubling the amount of toms

Mat Fraser @matfraser.bsky.social · 20/11/2024

I told you I was and am a drummer. Back in 1982, this was my drum kit. 8,10,12,14,15,16" toms, 6 inch deep snare, 10", 2 X 16" crash cymbal, 18 "ride, all 2nd hand, and an electric trigger on snare for sounds (hand claps etc)...I used this kit, which I LOVED, in "A Fear Of Sex", and "North"

Me from 2003's Edinburgh festival, when I was hosting The Whoopee Club burlesque show, the 1st and only one at the festival back then, though the Pontani Sisters from NYC were there that year too. 21 years ago! Saw this carousel wheel and used it for promo pics. Still have that jacket & shirt.

Mat looks deadpan into the camera as he leans nonchalantly against the nose of a wooden horse upon a carousel, in a sparkly blue cabaret jacket and ruffled shirt.
