Credit where it's due:
To #BBC4 for showing "The War Game", made but suppressed in 1965, on impact of a #nuclear war on SE England. Very powerful.
Apt for #HiroshimaDay in this time of know-nothing #warmongers like the wretches Starmer, Healey, von der Leyen, Rutte.
One brilliant young Baroque orchestra and one cheap Chilean bottle of Merlot... doesn't take much to keep me happy!
For no particular reason...
Don't perform
Integration by parts.
When you perform,
It flies straight to the heart.

Consciousness flows down.
Stop-recline:
Inquistive, twist round.
Don't perform

When you perform,
It flies straight to the heart:
Tear it apart.

Freddy Mercury is a bit like a singing sausage wearing braces.
I Want to Break Free!
That's the song I sing while I'm doing the vacuum cleaning!
Which, to be honest, is not very often.
An unbelievable number of TV channels and I just give thanks for BBC4.

This episode of You're Dead To Me reminded me of the prohibition of coffee during its early history;

I first read about coffee being religiously and legally restricted in a book I found in the public library, about the history of drug regulation. A. At the time I thought it was plausible, but I was wary of what I now know as confirmation bias. Intriguing to have it confirmed by a historian on a public broadcaster.
