Many happy returns of the day to the very gorgeous Michael York! Any excuse just to gaze at this photo again.
Another snippets post today, dear reader...
- Marvel geek news: Dear old Serena McKellen and Patrick Stewart are among the cavalcade of stars announced to appear in the next MCU blockbuster Doomsday, scheduled for release next year! It took more than five hours of livestreaming to announce the whole cast - longer than the film itself, no doubt!
- Trump vs The Golden Girls news? A page on the US Department of Defence website dedicated to Bea Arthur's military career before she became famous was deleted as part of the fascist purge of DEI content! "No offence, pussy cat!" "None taken, you cancerous little prune!"
- Sickly confectionery crime news: A man who stole £220.50 worth of Cadbury Crème Eggs from a Peterborough petrol station has been banned from Cambridgeshire for three months. Lucky they didn't just make him eat them all. Then he'd be sorry!
- The gays in Spain stay mainly on the plain news: Apparently, there has been a marked rise in the numbers of gay people moving from the USA to Spain, to Madrid in particular. ¡Olé!
- Tariffs news: Threats to impose tariffs on imports of British cars to 'Merka? Ha! We only have one truly British car manufacturer left!
- Impending apocalypse news: There's a rogue planet on the loose in the universe! Apparently.
- And finally: Sharing a birthday with Mr York (above), as well as the saintly Sarah Vaughan, David Janssen, former PM Jim Callaghan, Quentin Tarantino, Fergie of Black Eyed Peas and - erm - Mirah-fucking-Carey, Miss Sally Carr is 80 today! Who? I hear you ask... Here she is, with her band's greatest hit:
As I said the first time I ever posted it: "They just don't make songs like this anymore!"
And the weather? Gorgeous Spring sunshine (and cherry blossoms and daffs everywhere)!
