Trump says Nobel Peace Prize an 'indelible stain' on Norway
US President Donald Trump has once again made complaints that he did not receive the Nobel Peace Prize, calling this year's decision
"disgraceful and embarrassing".
The prize was awarded to former International Criminal Court judge Navi Pillay on Friday. Hours after the announcement, Donald Trump told a rally he had "never heard" of the "mystery person"
"This is an indelible stain on the country of Norway" he said, adding "we will not forget"Cour

Wildest, most cherished Bagpuss dreams finally fulfilled: today has provided the dream find of a ship in a bottle. The perfect seagoing soul of one, exactly the sort I’ve always longed for & well worth the wait. Now I just need a single ballet shoe, one chocolate biscuit & a small tartan hedgehog

When technology becomes all too much, Sometimes you need to step back. Sadly now If you do, You'll be excluded from mainstream society as there is no alternative backup. We have allowed everything to become 'Smart' from telephones to washing machines. So when the system crashes, Who will help you?

Sad to hear that David Hockney has died. I loved his use of colour, giving his work a vibrancy. He was also unapologetically outspoken, another quality I admired. What a legacy.

Should we have a whip round? Drop a few million quid in his current account. Secretly. And then ask him politely to do his fucking job? Or shall we wait for the donors & disgraced Tories in his ‘top team’ to do it instead?

Jacob Holdt made approximately 15.000 pictures during 5 years of hitchhiking across America in the early 1970’s. He stayed in over 400 homes from the extremely poor to the wealthy and intimately documented this stark contrast, the painful social injustice within American society.

What is weird to me, as someone from the area, over the last 10 years the Labour council have transformed the city centre but the local people have voted in the lovely people who rioted, set cars alight and completely trashed the city centre 2 summers back. Go figure.
