Toast

Kenneth Cope puts me on 21/30.

To be more specific, I like them all well enough except Running Up That Hill. But there are many that I prefer among those that have been eliminated.

I had Alwen Hughes. Johnnie Walker comes off the bench. New no 3 sub - Charlotte Raven, please.

I don't care. There's nothing left that I particularly like. All the best songs have gone.

Thanks, I'll take a look when I have time. Glad someone kept it. My comment still stands though.

Really? ISTR a TV programme which featured her sitting for this portrait, and she came over as enjoying it. Perhaps she was a better actress that we realised. No doubt that programme will never be shown again so we can't tell. Another case of history being obliterated so that they can pretend that people who did bad things never existed.

What a cracking hearse. One might say it's to die for. https://x.com/ThanatosArchive/status/1833529506394739080

Whatever else Rolf was, he was a very good painter.

One Day He Flew Away?

Rolf would have produced a better likeness. This is his portrait of HMTLQ.

My car passed the MOT again, with nothing in the advisories to cause concern. And it's nice and clean (see Room 101 for the saga)
