Sorry for another smug middle aged #topical post, but ...
These are definitely the massive pair of jeans worn by the now skinny Slimmer Of The Year in the obligatory tabloid pic. "Sid Prentiss lost an incredible 9 and half stone! These days he's got a trim 28 inch waist and a trim 25 year old girlfriend!"
Introvert kid? No future in being quiet or thoughtful. Only room for the pushy mouthy blaggers. The world is a giant Cockney market stall 🗣️
For too long, confident spoken communication has been kept for the few. Now, it will be the right of every child.
Here’s what I’m changing👇🏻

Every year I share this,
For those of you that haven't seen it before it was drawn by my Dad,
Who was there,
Not digging for coal,
But digging for children,
This is his abiding memory of that day,
He will never forget,
And neither should we.

Takes me back to my tour down the Seine on a cold crisp autumn day in the 1980s. It was exactly like this. What a weekend! The Champs-Élysées, Saint Michel and old Beaujolais wine (cont'd Substack,🗼).

#OTD Oct 18 1968: Bob Beamon set the world and Olympic records for the long jump on his 1st attempt in the final at the Mexico City Olympics with a Gold Medal winning jump of 29 ft, 2 1/2 inches, breaking the previous record by almost 22 inches. At an altitude of 2240 m, Mexico City's air had less resistance than air would at sea level. Prior to Beamon's jump the world record had been broken 13 times. His record stood for 23 years until Mike Powell broke it in 1991, and it still stands as the Olympic record (56 years later).
