One of the greatest viz letters I ever read was something along the lines of this.
My son was run over and killed by a red lorry, whilst eating a yellow lolly,
I've got a speech Impediment, And the coroner was Chinese, so you can imagine the laughs we had at the Inquiry.
Does anyone remember Saint Etienne (the 90s indie dance darlings, rather than the French football team whose presence graced Glasgow in the 1976 European Cup Final vs Bayern Munich)?
Here they are in action last night at the Piece Hall in Halifax, supporting Belle & Sebastian.
@Faythe_and_Hope I’m the same age now as my dad was when he took his own life. I’ve always made sure I let people know when I don’t feel great, my dad was a generation that didn’t talk about their feelings and it cost him and me and my mum dearly. Feel for you so much, know how hard it is
51 years ago today the world changed.
One of the most technically accomplished, commercially successful and culturally relevant movies ever made was released.
That movie was #JAWS.
Hier soir, dans le mythique studio du château d’𝗛é𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘃𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲, 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗼𝘀 𝗔𝗹𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗿, guitariste de 𝗕𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗲 lors de l’enregistrement de l’album 𝗟𝗼𝘄, rejouait sur les bandes originales d’époque, 50 ans plus tard, au même endroit.

imagine going to the club during this era and you hear this knocking at the entrance? 😮💨
That bass line Oscar Alston laid down for Teena Marie's "I need your lovin" should have secured his retirement.
This is PEAK LEVEL, dance floor funk.

“I want to go home.”
It’s not uncommon for someone living with dementia to say that they want to go home, however it can be distressing, both for the person with dementia and their carers.
It can be hard to know what to say, which is why we wanted to share a few things to keep in mind when this happens.
It’s usually best not to try to reason or disagree with the person about where their home is, or to tell them that they’re already home. Instead, listen to them, and try to acknowledge and understand their feelings.
For the person with dementia, it’s likely that the term ‘home’ describes more than the place they currently live. It may represent memories of a happier time when they felt comfortable and secure.
It can be helpful to reassure them that they are safe and cared about where they are now.
You can also ask them about their home – where is it, and what is it like? You may be able to use this approach to divert the conversation to a different topic – for example, by asking about any loved ones they mention. You can also try talking about a new subject like food or music, or an activity like going for a walk or looking through a photo album.
By encouraging them to talk about why they were happy in their home, you might also be able to work out what they need to feel more comfortable. If they seem unhappy, try to figure out why.
Anxiety can be caused by discomfort, so it can be helpful to run through a mental checklist - could they be hungry, thirsty, too warm or too cold?
And finally, it can help to keep a log of when they ask this question. Certain times of the day might be worse than others, and if it happens later in the day it could be due to ‘sundowning’. If you see a pattern, you can take steps to lessen or avoid some of the triggers.

William Onyeabor – Fantastic Man
A one-man Nigerian disco showering his woman with compliments, but he wants to hear them back. A bit funky, a bit squelchy, and a bit eccentric; but a whole lot brilliant.
1979.
