And I Thought I'd Stayed Up Far Too Late Wasting My Time On Absolute Nonsense.

It Is Strange That The Last Weekend In August Has Become The Official End Of Summer.

https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-16093705/BBC-footage-Loyle-Carner-F-Nigel-Farage-Reading-Festival-Palestine.html Given that it makes absolutely no Meteorological or Astronomical sense. https://www.reuters.com/science/nasa-launches-powerful-new-roman-space-telescope-florida-2026-08-30/

Rumour Is They Were All Cheating On Each Other, With Each Other.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daisy_Jones_%26_the_Six I did have a funny feeling I needed to address all that, rather than grind through the backlog. https://www.tmz.com/2026/08/30/olivia-rodrigo-raises-millions-at-daisy-chain-fields/ Aside from cosying up to Taylor Swift Stevie Knicks recently also allowed Miley Cyrus sample; "Songbird." Apparently it's Billy Ray Cyrus' favourite song. I think that if she's that worried about dwindling royalties the CD version Rumours could actually do with remastering. The volume on it is ridiculously low. Also I'm not criticising the way Olivia Rodrigo dresses. It's just telling that these days my first reaction is parental!

A Musical Illustration Of The Post-9/11 Islamification & Antisemitism Of The British Left.

https//www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikFRiC5OICg (Lucky Star, Basement Jaxx, Radio Edit, Official Audio). Discuss. Of course I'd already fallen out with them by that point. I did once see paparazzi shots of Jenna Ortega in the part of London where the photograph which became the recruiting poster for the protests against the 2003 invasion of Iraq was taken. Which really convinced me she is far too young for me to date. My youth being to her a historical walking tour.

Home To Ram Records, Chase & Status' First Label.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx2z4wlxj04o So allow me to fully translate that from Hebrew. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWoBNwFMcJ4 (Hush Hush, I Heard, Official Audio). I don't think any musical act would want to provide the soundtrack to October 7th. Although I'd imagine it would hit even harder if they were also Jewish.

I Wasn't Aware The Diagnosis Was A Mystery.

Someone I'd Been Hearing A Lot About But Not Seeing.

https://www.tmz.com/2026/08/30/ella-langley-and-doja-cat-alleged-feud/ Something which changed when I found myself in a playlist of just her videos. Thinking it would be some of her videos alongside other people's videos. I'd almost forgotten that music videos existed, let alone the effort that goes into them. With streaming taking control of release schedules out of the hands of record companies and putting them more in the hands of fans there was certainly a bit of a drop off. It seems they're making a bit of a comeback now. Although I can see her self-directed mini-movie videos getting annoying fast. Stopping the song to make way for pages of dialogue isn't really a good quality in a music video. 

Making It Seem Like L.A Dodged A Bullet.

https://www.tmz.com/2026/08/29/spencer-pratt-compares-lindsay-clancy-to-a-pit-bull/ Obviously there needs to be a trial to establish what she is claiming is true. However if it is then this is all rather simple.

https://www.tmz.com/2026/08/29/kanye-west-executive-milo-yiannopoulos-flies-back-to-uk-after-ice-arrest/ It's certainly a tough time to be British. 

Today is a New Day.

Monday August 31st 2026 (31/8/26). Let's spare a thought for those who still have to work on this government mandated public holiday. Particularly those who have to edit down footage of Foxes. 

*shakes head* Nowhere Near As High As Any Of Us Would Like.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBAiWBJHwOU (Punky Reggae Party, Bob Marley (& The Wailers), Official VEVO Visualiser).

I Went To The Gym In August.

Technically. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0i3ZfrVY9iU (Never Going Back Again, Fleetwood Mac, 2004, Official Audio). And if your Grandparents we're doing it in the late 1970's. This is what they were doing it to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abticFBnddk (Oh Daddy, Fleetwood Mac, 2004, Official Audio). In much the same as, apparently, by 1996. A full 25% British households had paid their good money to own a copy of Oasis' second album. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CSbB040CJE (Morning Glory, Oasis, Remastered, Official Audio). So. Here is my contention; A much needed First World response to the "Swingers" atrocity of the 1970's. Which was born of the post-Pill "Free Love" movement of the 1960's. A good full two years before the AIDS crisis became official. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqjXn2NflqU (You Make Loving Fun, Fleetwood Mac, 2004, Official Audio).

Yep. Officially The Cheapest One Available.

https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2026/07/smoked.html You probably don't need to study Season 1, Episode 12 of; "Animal Control" in much detail. However there is an early scene in which the Victoria and Frank characters are standing by a Trail-Cam. It's the same Trail-Cam. Although I'm sure understand that there are reasons why the next upload of Fox footage may be, somewhat, delayed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sgdy7YnkkCk (Punky Reggae Party, Bob Marley (& The Wailers, 1978, Official Audio).

While I'm Old Enough To Remember When It Was Worth Going To.

https://www.dailymail.com/tvshowbiz/article-16087989/Liam-Gallaghers-youngest-son-Gene-20-leads-nepo-babies-Reading-Leeds-festivals-Gwyneth-Paltrow-Chris-Martins-son-Moses-Foo-Fighter-frontman-Dave-Grohls-daughter-Violet-perform.html Although I think you'll all be glad to hear to I've, finally, retired the fabric wallet. Replacing it with a rather snazzy leather one. Can you guess when it was delivered(!) Now, are they Jewish? https://www.readingfestival.com/artists/chase-status-live Normally I wouldn't feel the need to ask. But, you know, given the circumstances(!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWoBNwFMcJ4 (Hush Hush, Shimon, Official Audio). Yeah, probably(!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4UCFiXuGlo (Cish Cash, Basement Jaxx, Video, XL Recordings).

And That Suddenly Went Full Circle!

https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2026/05/something-about-eurovision-always.html https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2026/04/now-heres-depressing-thought.html As I was looking for things to do while the battery on my drill recharged I discovered another couple of crates of CD's. Stored in a highly unusual place I have to assume they were my brother's. It turns out Magnetic Fields did at least four albums more than that one song. Not that I had time to check. Suddenly feeling like I was playing; "Got, Got, Need" in a second hand record store I had to prioritise. So the Bob Dylan, Freewheelin' and otherwise, The Jam and Fleetwood Mac. Along with the next Basement Jaxx album and, "Tah-Dah!" Scissor Sisters. As I so enjoyed the Summer I'm too sad to let it go. Later that same day my YouTube dalliance led me towards VEVO's suggestions. Meaning I've now seen several Olivia Rodrigo videos, rather than simply hearing the songs. While...

Well. That Was A Depressing Experience.

https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2026/08/britain-really-shouldnt-have-fcked-up.html I've still not found the time to get my head around Spotify. However I did figure out that I can watch music videos suggested by other people on YouTube. My starting point was the "Top Videos In Your Region" playlist. Which rapidly taught me that the people who watch the most music videos in my region have absolutely terrible taste and, I assume, no ears. I quickly ran into the problem that I ran into with a now defunct Streaming App - "The Box," I think - a few years ago. As everything quickly descended into really weak British Rap. The sort of stuff that makes Central Cee look strong! Just one fool after another mumbling along about how much crime they're doing, all the mansions and flash cars they've got and how many women they've attracted. Points which are illustrated by the videos. The thing is, watching them one after another. You quickly notice that ...

It's Surprising How Some Occupiers Lives Matter.

Oh, It Was An Outdoor Rave.

https://news.sky.com/story/manhunt-under-way-after-deadly-shooting-at-rave-in-switzerland-13578925 That certainly puts a New spin on things. How's Britain's work commitments going(?!) Of course we're in the A.I era now so I originally read it as it is. Rather than the; "Aurora" it could, possibly, sound a bit like.

Kind Of A Weird Direction To Take.

Saturday August 29th 2026 (29/8/26). And now I get to work extra hard to catch up on the backlog of things I've missed. Lol, or introduce a cut-off and go back to bed. 

It's Her Father's Birthday.

https://www.tmz.com/2026/08/26/dolly-parton-died-on-important-day-for-miley-cyrus/ At least according to the celebrity birthday lists in the newspapers.

*groans* That Took Sooo Long!

https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2026/08/i-cant-imagine-anyones-finding-it.html Technically I think it only took the two days I thought it would. However those two days broke down into 45 minutes of work interspersed by three hours of waiting for a battery to charge. Then I got an energy sapping Cold. Having started in a heatwave I thought it was something I could do as an hour here and there, as I had time. Then within two days of the hottest day of the year the temperature plunged and it started raining for the first time in two months. Creating a sense of urgency as new rust started appearing on areas I'd already stripped. It is finished now though! As I gradually uncovered it seems to have originally been painted a dark red gloss with a primer underneath. It had then been painted over with a white gloss. Apart from the fact this probably all happened before I was born the rust showed through the white paint. So I obviously wasn't going to paint it white again. The...

https://news.sky.com/story/dutch-broadcaster-avrotros-to-boycott-2027-eurovision-song-contest-13576558 I'd suggest someone raises it with them. However the debate delusion seems to be their main problem.

https://news.sky.com/story/multiple-people-killed-and-others-injured-in-motorway-crash-in-county-kildare-irish-police-say-13573112 Britain has not fulfilled a single one of those work commitments. Don't be looking to me to explain why that is. 

It's On Britain To Explain Why It Hasn't Fulfilled Its Work Commitments.

https://www.jpost.com/international/article-905617 

Today is a New Day.

Sunday August 16th 2026 (16/8/26). Yep. The gym can wait for another week. 

They Didn't Opt To Stay Home With Their Girlfriends Then(!)

https://www.tmz.com/2026/08/13/andrew-tristan-tate-supporters-protest-outside-jail/

Perhaps I Shouldn't Have Put In So Much Effort Inspite Of The Dragon Drama.

https://news.sky.com/story/heathrow-warns-of-disruption-at-two-terminals-after-flooding-13573198 Britain clearly thought it was going to continue. So committed itself to all that work. Work it's still attempting to debate, rather than do.

I Would've Thought The Federal Case Is The One They'd Want To Avoid.

https://www.tmz.com/2026/08/13/luigi-mangione-federal-plea-has-upset-new-york-state-district-attorney/ Given that there's no realistic possibilty of the death penalty in the State case and it provides a better opportunity to offer a successful defence. Beyond the Lawful Excuse defence I would have used in both cases. 

Despite It Becoming Increasingly Obvious That The US Can't Sustain Its Presence There.

https://www.jpost.com/international/article-905560 

Their Impulse To Lie Is So Strong They Don't Think About The Consequences.

https://www.jpost.com/international/article-905575 I really can't imagine that being great for morale. During the 9th month of a 6 month deployment. 

Today is a New Day.

Saturday August 15th 2026 (15/8/26). It's time to take the weekend up on its promise of sleep. 

Which Seems A Little Greedy.

https://news.sky.com/video/does-your-client-feel-remorse-sky-news-asks-luigi-mangiones-lawyers-for-comment-after-guilty-plea-13573049 As they've made an absolute balls of that from start to finish. Despite some very sympathetic rulings from Judges.

And Does Anyone Have The Slightest Clue Who He Was?

https://news.sky.com/story/jason-arday-former-cambridge-university-professor-found-dead-after-resigning-following-plagiarism-row-13573124 Seriously. I could do with a clue. Of course it does sound like the sort of thing I could Google, in all of two seconds. However, it would hardly be the first time I've given Oxbridge a miss(!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1xM-r4TF6Q (Staring At The Sun, The Offspring, Official Audio).

https://news.sky.com/story/uk-heatwave-stourbridge-fire-latest-weather-live-13571553?postid=12227141#liveblog-body Although it certainly doesn't bode well for the chances of Britain setting about fulfilling its work commitments any time soon. Then still debating the value of the Friday evening jump-scare. https://news.sky.com/story/jason-arday-death-former-cambridge-university-professor-found-dead-after-resigning-following-plagiarism-row-13573113?postid=12227867#liveblog-body

Europe's Surprised Response Was Certainly Confusing.

https://news.sky.com/video/vod-13573021 We all know the work Britain has committed to do. We all know Britain hasn't taken a single step towards fulfilling its work commitments. So why would any of us expect the work to be done.

Today is a New Day.

Friday August 14th 2026 (14/8/26). I'm kind of ready to skip straight to the weekend now. 

An Unusual Moment For The Angry Virgin Community To Suddenly Object..

https://news.sky.com/story/siege-of-palestinian-homes-in-west-bank-a-horrific-act-of-terror-says-us-ambassador-13572508 But they've clearly just heard the "US Citizen" part.

Sadly. A growing maturity does seem to be taking most of the fun out of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pf3GhUFcSxQ (What's Love Got To Do With It, Warren G, Official Audio).

No, Their Plan Is Not Coming Together.

https://news.sky.com/video/footage-shows-scene-as-three-train-carriages-derail-13572714 Despite the fact that fulfilling their work commitments should be their entire plan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yg7qh-WQRc8 (Flo, Smash Mouth, Smash Hits, Official Audio). I wonder if they've still got massive posters up at Salisbury station warning about that. The soil is now so dry at such a depth it's becoming much less compacted and more unstable. So things like railway tracks are collapsing under their own weight now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFgp9eWmRwc (Hank And Joe And Me, Johnny Cash, Songs, Official Audio). 😜. https//www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxC6-DHCHqs (I'm Gonna Be An Engineer, Peggy Seeger, Folkways, Audio, Topic).

I Can't Imagine Anyone's Finding It Particularly Thrilling.

However I'm finally getting around to repainting the rusty a'sed metal gate on my front garden path. Which was the next job on my list before all that Dragon Drama started. Of course the first stage is stripping all the rust and what's left of the paint from it. A step I'm learning the last person to repaint it didn't bother with. I've got all the appropriate drill attachments to do it. However I'm discovering that the battery on my drill only lasts for about 45 minutes. Today I went at it with a corded sander, despite only having wood working sanding pads. Already having multiple batteries it's the sort of situation where a Ryobi angle grinder starter kit would be extremely useful. Working over concrete, rather than grass. With a fire extinguisher to hand. I also managed to go to the recycling centre today. Meaning I finally got to donate lots of precious metals. Including the microwave I got a replacement for, back in November 2025(!) That might sound ...

Today is a New Day.

Thursday August 13th 2026 (13/8/26). I want to get as much of this yard work done as possible before I've got to get back to the gym. I doubt it'll be a full day though. 

The Sun Set Slightly Early.

https://news.sky.com/video/watch-moment-eclipse-reaches-peak-in-uk-13572366 Having already sunk below the city skyline. Although it might not feel like it, Winter is definitely coming.

More Time They Can't Return To Their Superior.

https://news.sky.com/story/bus-driver-shot-dead-outside-london-pub-named-by-police-13572349 Their TV and B&Q work commitments should have been fulfilled already. The opportunity for them to do it while it's still easy certainly won't last forever.

The Security Department Supports This Decision.

https://news.sky.com/story/eurovision-changes-rules-to-prevent-winners-involved-in-armed-conflict-from-hosting-13572324 Particularly in light of Israel's enduring popularity. It would be even better if the official record were corrected, in light of traitorous Britain's downright dirty behaviour.

Breakfast, Lunch Or Dinner(?!)

Today is a New Day.

Wednesday August 12th 2026 (12/8/26). Definitely a desk based one. 

They Really Put Trump Through The Wringer Then.

https://www.jpost.com/international/article-905124 Although I doubt he got the message.

Today is a New Day.

Monday August 10th 2026 (10/8/26). Sleep is awesome. It's important to remember that. 

Seven Pages Was Mangeable.

Also. The muscles in my forearms seem to have, finally, relaxed. https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2026/08/horse-riding-and-heatwaves-require-very.html My main piece of luggage was a holdall. Which really isn't the best way to carry weight for any length of time. As a result I ended up straining pretty much everything in both of my rotator cuffs. It's only something which would, and did, self-resolve. However it was definitely a bit sore while doing so.

Surely Everyone Knows What Indulging The Discussion Delusion Does To The Status Of Their Requests.

https://www.jpost.com/defense-and-tech/article-904929 There have certainly been numerous examples. 

Page 7 Seems An Appropriate Cut-Off Point.

https://www.jpost.com/international/article-904941 https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2026/08/i-think-im-going-to-have-to-implement.html As that's what I had earmaked as manageable. While Britain really does not have long left to reset to the point before the discussion delusion took hold. 

Today is a New Day.

Sunday August 9th 2026 (9/8/26). And if I want to take a nap, that's exactly what I'm going to do. 

Let Me Know How That Goes(!)

So rather wasting more time thinking up a way to apologise to them Britain should just fulfil its work commitments. https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2026/08/tell-us-that-marco-rubio-has-resigned.html The wood preserver I brought from Amazon arrived today. So I see no reason why Britain can't fulfil its TV and B&Q commitments within a similar timeframe. They're facing a particular time crunch on the B&Q commitment.

Wednesday Was Never A Realistic Timeframe For Britain To Fulfil Its Work Commitments.

https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/iran-news/article-904874 However it would be reasonable to expect them to have contacted me to confirm to me how it will be going about fulfilling its work commitments. 

Today is a New Day.

Saturday August 8th 2026 (8/8/26). I certainly won't be rushing back to the gym this weekend.

By Subjecting Them To The Jurisdication Of The US(?)

https://www.jpost.com/american-politics/article-904828 

I've Never Fed Britain's Discussion Delusion.

https://www.jpost.com/international/article-904843 I've always been perfectly clear with them that 2021 was their last and final opportunity to make an application to study under me. I've also been perfectly clear that their work commitments will have to be fulfilled before they'll be given permission to sit quietly under the table as a discussion takes place around them. Arguably it would have been more effective for Thailand to summon the UK Ambassador. Drag only them over the coals. 

Today is a New Day.

Friday August 7th 2026 (7/8/26). There might not be any grass to cut. However there's still yard work to do. And I've not done any in a month. 

The September Optics Are Currently Unlikely To Have Anyone Cowering In Fear At The Full Might Of US Power.

The Updated, Full List Of Cancellations.

https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2026/08/presumably-shell-receive-full-backing.html Obviously.

Yeah, I Did Stuff I Wanted To Do Instead.

https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2026/08/and-i-can-only-recommend-they-revel-in.html Clearly. They can't return time to their superior. So they'd best already be implementing their action plan. So no more of their superior's time is wasted by ineligible reapplications.

And Is It Ever Going To Be Eligible To Reapply(!)

https://news.sky.com/story/us-government-moves-to-shut-down-organ-donation-group-over-alleged-safety-failures-13570225

Which Certainly Gives The Impression They're Still Suffering From The Discussion Delusional.

https://news.sky.com/story/female-police-officer-seriously-bitten-during-anti-migrant-disorder-13570392 Beyond speed and quiet it's entirely up to them how they fulfil their work commitments. However they certainly won't be delivering a TV plus, plus along with the correct things from B&Q like that.

And I Can Only Recommend They Revel In It Silently.

https://news.sky.com/story/railway-disruption-latest-electrical-failure-hits-network-across-much-of-england-13569726?postid=12186985#liveblog-body As I've still got plenty of pages to clear through. Before I decide whether I decide whether everyone else will have to suffer as a result of yet another re-application which was submitted in obvious error. https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2026/07/ive-finally-been-to-see-my-mothers.html

Presumably She'll Receive The Full Backing Of The US State.

https://news.sky.com/story/woman-47-charged-over-covent-garden-stabbings-13568328 Should Britain make the mistake of attempting to dispute that it is solely responsible for the cancellation. As it would certainly reflect poorly on the US' mental state. Allowing the impression that it was indulging the debate delusion. Rather than issuing a clear, unequivicol command for overdue work committments to be fulfilled. 

Britain Really Shouldn't Have F'cked Up The Multiple Chances It Was Granted To Apply To Study Under Me.

https://www.tmz.com/2026/08/02/ariana-grande-will-step-back-from-public-eye-after-tour/ That is all long in the past now though. The issue now is whether the US is actually going to keep comping Britain treats, as reward for blocking the US' ability to apply to study under me. As I don't think you need much experience of mental illness diagnosis to identify that as severely delusional, self-harming behaviour. https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2026/08/ive-long-ago-stopped-caring-what-drives.html Incidentally. Is the Vevo streaming App still a thing? It doesn't seem to be available on my Roku Streaming Stick. It was available on my older NowTV Streaming box. However reading the Terms & Conditions is really the minumum I have to do to acquaint myself with an App. The Terms & Conditions on the Vevo App available to me are in German. I have some German, nowhere near that much German though! https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2026/05/i-really-should-make-...

Thursday August 6th 2026 (6/8/26). There are still plenty of pages to go. 

I've Long Ago Stopped Caring What Drives People To Do Things Like That.

And Here We Are In August.

https://www.tmz.com/2026/08/02/nancy-guthrie-investigation-missteps-according-to-report/ With Britain having taken on work committments. And not fulfilled them. 

I Certainly Wouldn't.

https://www.tmz.com/2026/07/30/kim-kardashian-wont-collect-legal-debt-from-lawsuit-she-won/ So not only does the US rather urgently need to work on Britain's delusional belief that it will ever be able to reapply. It also needs to start being realistic the the scale of the compensation package I will require in order to assist anyone who is prepared to continue to assist Britain. 

You Suspect It's Not Under Review Because They Know What The Outcome Of The Review Will Be.

https://news.sky.com/story/covent-garden-stabbing-latest-three-people-stabbed-as-woman-arrested-13570069?postid=12182088#liveblog-body It just means they'll be tired. With their work commitments still to fulfill.

Harsh sounds (👏!) tend to be the most effective in training out errant behaviours. As, as Ivan Pavlov demonstrated at the turn of the turn of the last century. When brains are that teeny, tiny.

After all, this rather Wokie CGI animation does make it so simple. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgKKZXuiTac (GUIDE DOGS | FLASH ANIMATION, Video, GuideDogsTouTube). Over in reality. About a decade ago one of my Mothers volunteered with the Riding For The Disabled charity. Which uses Horses as therapy for people with Physical Impairments and Intellectual Impairments.

On Friday I got back from visiting my Mothers. Where I got the lowdown on what we hope will become a Guide Dog for a Visually Impaired person. Since then the "SPARK" centre at the Moorfield, Britain's premier eye Hospital, has been bombarding my Hearing Impaired Father with phonecalls. Not once did they leave a voicemail, let alone send a text message. Today I used the missed call menu on his cellphone to call them. As was expected we confirmed that he's not registered as one of their patients. What was su...

That Hardly Seems Worth Calling A Press Conference Over.

We Could Sit & Discuss Why It Ever Seemed Like An Effective Way To Train Out The Errant Behaviour.

https://www.tmz.com/2026/08/03/ariana-grande-career-break-planned-needed-boundries/ Constantly spoofing them into thinking they'll ever be eligible to reapply. Given that withholding treats is more in keeping with the widely accepted Pavlovian school. However their time and energy would really be better spent on fulfilling their work commitments. 

And Reading Things Back.

Perhaps We Should Be Less Concerned With What Drove Britain To Take On All These Work Commitments.

Britain's Failure To Fulfil Its Work Committments Is Certainly Getting Tedious.

Today is a New Day.

Monday August 3rd 2026 (3/8/26). I certainly won't be catching up like this. 

They Started Life In 1934 As; "The Guide Dogs For The Blind Association."

Although I gather their current Charity Commission registration reads; "Guide Dogs, UK." https://www.guidedogs.org.uk/how-you-can-help/donating/sponsor-a-puppy/#choose So why don't you keep that Wokie, Virtue Signalling debate going. I'm sure you'll eventually do something useful. Tomorrow(!) 😉. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SinOJQT5J4g (I Ride An Old Paint, Woody Guthrie, Audio, SmithsonianFolkways).

There's A Way Of Going About Things.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cr59qe86yj4o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUuiMWt_lO4 (We Will Dance Again, Boy George, Lyric Video, P.O.V). Then there's the Bristol/Manchester way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xc7Zsv9YMU (A Prayer For England, Massive Attack, Official Audio).

Now. Here's A Depressing Thought.

With the exception of the current easement. All of the Dogs I've ever known are dead. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxQP5vTpFTI (Sweeter Than The Flowers, Johnny Cash, Wells, Official Audio).

If I Had A Gun, I Would've Shot It.

https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2026/07/oh-well-clappy-hands.html So it's probably best I didn't have a gun. As it's still be locked down as a fecking crime scene, innit(!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoxQWFtqaYM (Don't Take Your Guns To Town, Johnny Cash, Essential, Official Audio).

They Should Just Be Grateful That My Boots Continue To Sleep With The Horse.

https://www.dailymail.com/tvshowbiz/article-16021771/John-Terry-gets-booed-downs-pint-stage-Luke-Combs-gig-London-fans-say-surprise-appearance-awkward.html As does my proper hat. Not that any of it can properly be described as; "Mine." They're available to anyone who thinks they'll fit. The hat certainly continues able to cast shade on my little brother.

As Most Ticketholders Were Reminded That They're Not Allowed To Leave The State.

https://www.dailymail.com/tvshowbiz/article-16018783/north-west-headlining-tour-canceled-music-career-chaos.html But, yeah. If you're that desperate to look up a 13 year old girl's skirt. Then I'm more than happy to take all of your money. But let's not pull too hard on the thread that keeps the Wolf from the door though. As this latest round of Puppy Kisses seems to have found me in need of new morning shapewear. I really doubt the charity will be paying for those. So, do you know anyone(?!)

Meh. At Least She Didn't Toss Me.

https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2026/07/yeah-i-get-that-now.html Even if she did 'accidentally' stumble. Twice. As if to remind me that tossing is definitely within her protest repertoire. Back in the stall, following the second, final, ride. She did use one of her four, big feet to gently stamp on one of my two, light feet. After all she wouldn't want to be known as the only animal that didn't injure me. Particularly as she's the animal most able to injure me. And that explanation would certainly reinforce my theory; They know. They all know! Well. She's certainly over 18 now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqxep46_6-w (Supper Time, Johnny Cash, Mercury, Official Audio).

Calm Or Brave?

https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=2882965075388393&id=1593817012782884 Personally. I've always understood them to be the same.

Golden Retriever/Labrador Cross.

https://www.dailymail.com/tvshowbiz/article-16018737/Kim-Kardashian-lake-bikini-legal-battle.html Which is what most people think of when they hear; "Guide Dog." Ask your Half/Sister for more details regarding pedigree. Although I am feeling a sudden urge to remind all the people who have working kitchens on their licensed premises that German Shepherds/Alsatians can be Guide Dogs too. Even if they only tend to be posted to the higher crime areas. Either way, we've definitely got the runt of the litter here. Her visit was delayed by her getting a vomiting/diarrhea virus. Which saw her in intensive care, on IV feeding. While she did survive all that attention did see her develop a serious case of; "Clingy-ness." Which she will need to be cured of, if she's ever to make it to big school. According to the Andrex toilet paper corporation a Labrador Puppy is the cutest thing market research can imagine. Now imagine you've got to be really, really mean to that...

Oops. A Blind Person Might Have To Wait A Bit Longer For Their Guide Dog.

This past week I've been to see my Mothers. For the first time since the US was bombing Iran to end Iran's nuclear program. If you're having trouble narrowing that down now, it was June 2025. In no small part due to Thames Water's relentless messing about I wasn't able to visit them over Christmas. Meaning that I was the only one of their pet Dog's most important people who wasn't able to attend. She died shortly afterwards, on New Year's Day. Now my Mothers could have responded to this by getting used having a quieter house and just one fewer animal to look after. They could also have responded by getting a new pet Dog. However both of those options seemed far too simple for my Mothers. So instead they decided to volunteer to train a service Dog Puppy. Having delayed my visit for a couple of weeks I finally got to meet this new Puppy. I have to say that it is a very different experience from simply getting a new pet.  Almost every aspect of it makes cle...

The Limits Of His Abilities Haven't Changed Since April.

https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/iran-news/article-904286 Imagine where we'd be now if Pakistan hadn't distracted him from that fact. 

Everyone Involved Does Seem To Be Particularly Hotheaded.

However Trump Has Very Firmly Joined Team Hamas.

https://www.jpost.com/opinion/article-904275 

We Can Only Hope He Doesn't Actually Believe A Word He's Saying.

https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/iran-news/article-904293 Instead that he and the rest of the Trump adminstration are learning what all over their predecessors of the last 40 years have known, without having to have proved to them.  Iran is a only a boogeyman you use to rally your base. The US isn't a big enough bully to try using bullyboy tactics against them. Even if would actually want to take definitive action on an existential issue.

Today is a New Day.

Sunday August 2nd 2026 (2/8/26). I doubt I could go to the gym, even if I wanted to. 

While Britain Will Mark Its Homework Differently(!)

https://news.sky.com/story/tourist-plane-crash-leaves-13-dead-in-peru-13569102 https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2026/07/ive-finally-been-to-see-my-mothers.html There are always various aircraft overhead when I visit my Mothers. Both light pleasure craft from the nearby and various heavy military craft. It can be a bit of a game trying to stare into the Sun and guess what type of aircraft is in the distance. Although Chinooks do make a really distinctive sound. While it's not as common as by Britain's largest military base prompt totally unusual to see a Chinhook over my house every now and again. They're often used as a sort of taxi services for senior leadership attending meetings in London. Probably a bit bored that one did seem to be indicating a journey South-West. https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2026/07/the-chinook-that-was-flying-over-my.html I don't know if you can actually see the reason while trail-cams are called trail-cams from the trail-...

Yes. One Of My Mothers Is Still Studying Biblical Greek While Training A Service Dog.

https://news.sky.com/story/ransom-notes-in-nancy-guthrie-case-released-as-police-hope-writing-style-is-recognised-13568770 Certainly no-one can accuse her of slowing down in retirement. Me being there actually allowed her to leave the house to attend a class, while I supervised. Of course Thames Water's relentless f'cking about was a big factor in why I didn't get to see the previous dog for one last time before she died. It was weird it happened to begin with. It was even weirder that it was still happening in February.

There Might Be A Few Fox News Viewers Gullible Enough To Believe.

https://news.sky.com/story/charges-dropped-over-alleged-reflecting-pool-vandalism-as-damage-blamed-on-flawed-installation-13568941 However a District Attorney should have known that going to Court would involve them having to explain why the damage had already been documented.

Horse Riding And Heatwaves Require Very Different Wardrobes.

https://www.tmz.com/2026/08/01/random-woman-approaches-shemar-moore-home/ Even with a nibbly Puppy ruling out shorts. I also picked up a couple of things while I was down there. They have a what Americans would recognise as a TJ Maxx, which is always worth a look. Although I did come to regret it on the journey home. It's really a combination of the Horse riding, the walking and supposedly being on a recovery break from the gym. However my shoulders and particularly my legs are really sore today. I had to take Ibuprofen just to stand up. Of course Lina Esco's character used to be a service dog handler. While the confusion over SWAT being cancelled then uncancelled saw his TV wife packed off into deepest Canadian exile. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watson_(TV_series) It's certainly a show which doesn't suffer from being watched on a smaller screen. Although, now the World Cup has ended in a failure so spectacular it's threatening to being down FIFA. Britain should b...

It Certainly Reminds Me Of Something.

https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/article-904266 Something which Pedro Sanchez has been embarrassingly supportive of. Although it might end up dispelling the Anti-Semitism accusations. As he seems embarrassingly supportive of this too.

Today is a New Day.

Saturday August 1st 2026 (1/8/26). I'm so hungover I'm starting to think I might need a sponsor. I might not be the only one(!) https://www.guidedogs.org.uk/how-you-can-help/donating/sponsor-a-puppy/
