The COVID lockdowns actually improved my social life

I live in a rural area, don't socialise locally. All my friends from my before life in London were dispersed, so my social life was after work stuff generally

Lockdown hit, so I started an online community radio show and chat group. It was wild, folks loved it. I reconnected with old friends and we talk most days now. Connections I thought I'd lost

We meet up and do shit now. Work drinks a distant memory

Thank you, whoever ate that bat

On oldie but still hits this poem. Hard relate some days.

Nobody heard him, the dead man,
But still he lay moaning:
I was much further out than you thought
And not waving but drowning.

Poor chap, he always loved larking
And now he’s dead
It must have been too cold for him his heart gave way,
They said.

Oh, no no no, it was too cold always
(Still the dead one lay moaning)
I was much too far out all my life
And not waving but drowning.

Not waving, but drowning - Stevie Smith

Show was great. Not seen them live for nearly 30 years so it was good to reconnect. A lot of love and good vibes in the room, as expected

Good to meet you briefly in meat space sir. You're much bigger in real life than you look on my phone

So it's again with the theme

My offering is not so much a live performance, more a work of art. Blows my mind every time I watch this

In context, on British TV in the 60s, a Black man, a rare sight in itself at the time, with a bone through his nose, providing a frankly terrifying performance of a voodoo waltz. Jay leant into colonial prejudice. I can only imagine the amount of tea spat out watching this

Music lovers in the UK

I have a FREE ticket to see African Head Charge in Brixton (London) on Saturday 8pm-2am

One of my group had to drop out so it's available to anyone who wants it. No charge (excuse the pun) I just want it to go to a good home

I can email the ticket so no need to meet me in person and it be all weird

I live in a house that is about 350 years old. Not long after moving in I discovered this carving in one of the bricks outside. I'm always charmed by the style John has tried to use to leave his legacy with

The brick is about 3 and a half feet from the ground so I suspect he was probably a child. I often wonder about John, did he get a spanking for defacing the wall or was he allowed to do this by a sentimental parent, leaving his childhood mark on their home

Think about John a lot. Wee scamp!

    I'm (at least) half Welsh and that is where my core socialist influence comes from. English by birth but my heart is always with Wales and Michael is one of the greatest living Welshmen. When he speaks I'm ready to storm the barricades ✊

    Yes, magic that was

    Strangely he doesn't seem to draw nearly as much flak as other dissenting voices from the right wing headbangers. Gary Linekar can't tie his shoelaces without creating a shit storm

    I had an "Uncle" Billy (he wasn't blood family), my Grandads best friend from the war. I saw him every year, he'd come and stay for a few weeks, he eventually lived with us until he died

    He was the most Scottish man I've ever met, accent, turn of phrase, porridge for breakfast every day

    On his deathbed I learnt he was actually Polish, came after the war to join his sister who was a refugee in Glasgow

    How nobody ever mentioned this I don't know

    @fkamiah17 @Henrysbridge @MadeyeTheCarnaptious

    Will give it a look

    Farage and the Gammon army like to ignore how many Poles fought in the RAF, inconvenient truths

    Edit: Farage not Garage. Though I'd happily drive my car into him

    I'm not a religious person but do occasionally ask myself this question

    What is your purpose?

    Twoclownseating, to random
    @Twoclownseating@ravenation.club avatar

    I've been a bit dragged down lately (2019 onwards), as I'm sure many of you all have

    So with this in mind. Who are nice people you know or have met?

    You can have more than one, it's not finite, just big up good people

    I have a friend, Steve. When we were young (15) he was proper cool, me not so much. He didn't do the mean girls thing, he clued me up. Introduced me to so much music, literally my foundation. He remembers my birthday, my kids too. As a man this is borderline superhero territory

    @Twoclownseating@ravenation.club avatar

    @iraantlers

    He truly is. He also serves as my memory backup as he remembers EVERYTHING whereas I forgot most of my life, so as long as I tell him it's recoverable 😂

    We haven't talked in a bit, my bad. You always seem so loved I feel like an interloper, butting in to conversations. You're a jewel in my timeline and I'll make sure to pipe up more often

    What is one of your best rainy day memories?

    My Cousin Sarah and I got to stay at our Great Grandma's house together, and it was raining, and she told us we didn't have to be cooped up, we could go play in the rain. This was very exciting, because it's not something our parents would have gone for. So we twirled around and leapt in puddles and licked raindrops off rose petals. When we were done our Gran put us in a hot bath, and made us hot tea and treats. She brought out a big bag of costume jewelry and let us go through it, we tried everything on, and thought we were very fancy, and she let us keep our favorite ones.

    I'm British but one comes to mind

    2012, the weekend of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, there was a flotilla of boats parading down the Thames river in London, including the Queen, on a gold boat waving to the plebs and bootlickers waving little plastic flags. It fucking pissed down all weekend, torrential rain. Literally pissed on the parade. Magic

    We went camping in the woods with kids (7 and 5). As miserable as it was we had fun. Rain on a tent is a wonderful sound. Plus, wet plebs

    It only takes a tiny random trigger for me then off we go. I see a sign in a shop, that phrase sounds a bit like X, X pops into my head. Sometimes the connection is like a clue off 3-2-1 (really showing my age there) but then bang, listening to East 17 or Johnny Mathis for the next 3 hours
