“#AMAZON is Rarely Best Value on Many Items!” My latest blog-post…
As this is the first time I have linked my #blog here, it is entitled #Crippled #Queer #Anglo-European #Ranter, from which I take my #NomDePlume, #Criquaer. It covers #disabilities, #health, #travel in #Europe, #food & #cuisine, non-partisan #politics - but I am anti #UltraRightWing parties, and various #Personal interests.

“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, Death: The Final Stage of Growth (1975)

“#Covid19 Bereaved Families for Justice UK said: “The evidence from the inquiry is clear, and while it is vindicating to see #BorisJohnson blamed in black and white for the catastrophic #mishandling of the #pandemic, it is devastating to think of the lives [c.23,000] that could have been saved under a different prime minister.”

If you have not heard nor seen “#Berghain” by #Rosalía with #Björk & #YvesTumor, prepare for something very different. The song was released on 25th Oct. and is already a hit in several countries. The video is outstanding and a genuine #artwork. If one is aware of Rosalía’s three previous albums, the new one, “#Luz” may change your opinion of her abilities, both as singer & songsmith.
DO NOT LISTEN/WATCH if bad-language offends!

The proposed #UKGov #PIP Law actually appears to be unlawful!
‘The legal opinion says: “there can be no doubt that the reforms are regressive in #HumanRights terms. Therefore, in accordance with the principle of non-retrogression, they are presumed to be prohibited under #UNCRPD, #ICESCR and #UNCRC. Accordingly, the burden falls on the Government to show that despite the regressive nature of the reforms, they are complying with their obligations under the Treaties.”’

Scouring personalised programme-recommendations, I encountered a production I did not know existed "#JoannaLumley's #Danube" - and what a great first episode.
Places I myself have visited include #Hofbräuhaus in #Munich, the #Wachau vineyards of #LowerAustria and #Schönbrunn Palace in #Vienna. I am not going to ruïn all the lovely surprises, but have tissues to hand just in case.

#Channel4 used to let one view much more from their archives. Over the years I have periodically viewed "Max Headroom: 20 Minuutes Into The Future" (1985). This time I had to search the web. Post-apocalyptic #cyberpunk set in the world of deadly #TVratings. Love it. #MattFrewer went on to reprise the role of #MaxHeadroom in the #TVseries "The Max Headroom Show" (1985-7). Memories...

The #EurovisionSongContest #ESC banned Russia from entering the competition when they invaded Ukraine. Yet despite the #genocide in #Palestine, the #EBU did NOT ban #Israel from #ESC2024. They have again permitted an Israeli entry for #ESC2025. As in 2024, I shall again be boycotting all official #EUROVISION media. Apparently last year the EBU insists no member objected to Israel being pemitted to join in. #Slovenia has objected this year and has threatened to withdraw.

For the past few days I have been re-watching #Ultraviolet, a #Channel4 production aired in 1998. Although the word is never mentioned, it is about #vampires - so if you do not like the sight of blood, this is not for you!
It is full of famous actors, including #IdrisElba, #JackDavenport, #FionaDolman, #ColetteBrown, #PhilipQuast, #ThomasLockyer & #StephenMoyer. Plus cameos by other well-known actors.
If you are in the UK, it is available to stream via Channel 4:
