LFC, pro EU, music and film and can randomly quote. Occasional Quins fan. Kind of interested in international relations and enjoys history.
Perfidious Albion,a term used to describe Britain as deceitful and untrustworthy in international affairs, and its opinion regarding the democratically elected Spanish government would coincide with that comment.A British Navy essentially bullied and a government intimidated byother states #scw

Pretty sure I got this through Bulesky, and it was a slog. RFK and his bro were pretty bent, but he still championed important causes in US, if only he could have stayed around the States could be very different today

Terrance Stamp was fantastic and now no better time to dig up Ken Loach’s Poor Cow which was used for flashback footage in Steven Soderberghs The Limy

Released 56 years ago today, Sam Peckinpah’s 1969 western The Wild Bunch features an ensemble cast including Robert Ryan as Deke Thornton—hunting his old gang with a Winchester carbine, a dusty pinched-crown hat and brown herringbone 3/2-roll jacket, and a thousand-yard stare that says it all.
Robert Ryan in The Wild Bunch » BAMF Style
Deke Thornton bridges the old west and 20th century sensibilities in his black-piped brown herringbone jacket, pinched-crown cowboy hat, gunbelt, and boots.

Reading up on the seriously endangered Gobi bears from Mongolia by Douglas Chadwick. Fantastic book and the kind of dream job I dream about
