That looks good

The WHW Northern IC NW Pub Meet can now fully endorse Burnley curry!
Superb evening in Burnley with a fantastic curry, the odd Cobra, much waffle and many books. Even some fashion discussion. Ahem.
Next pub meets...Preston Wed April 23rd and Warrington Wed May 28th. #WeHaveWays

I will be on BBC Radio Guernsey and BBC Radio Jersey on Sunday 24th just after 11am talking about why being a citizen of a neutral country in the German occupied Channel Islands wasn’t such an easy life as it is sometimes portrayed. Why the Irish got a raw deal post occupation and more. 🗃️

For anyone who knows @strangelyhappy.bsky.social and the @whwnorthernic.bsky.social they will know what heroic efforts this gent has put in to the logistics of organising us to a wonderful amount of events over his 3 years at the helm. No amount of thanks are sufficient. Enjoy your retirement.

I smoked when I was younger I packed in at 21 and it’s not something I will be doing again. I will never back a government wanting to ban it completely however. It’s not the governments place. Worrying times when you have to wonder what’s next?

What a player even as a Wigan fan you couldn’t fail to respect that. However more importantly what a man. The awareness he spread and the funds he raised whilst battling the terrible illness will forever be an inspiration. Rest in peace Mr Burrow the defences of heaven will be terrified tonight.

Morning made. Sat in the conservatory with a brew and got a fly past.

And English 🤪

I was worried about two weeks with my feet up but 4 days in and I think retirement could suit me. Dog seems all on board with it as well. Wife not so much. Apologies to anyone reading this at work I’m aware it makes me a total git.

Such sad news. RIP Ian Lavender. If I was on a desert island dads army would always have been my box set. I was raised on this program. At ease Pike.

There is no finer group you will ever meet than the @whwnorthernic.bsky.social

Sat in the conservatory with a good book and the sun. Dog is back in her favorite spot. Some equilibrium is restored.

Update. Meds amended and being sent home later today with instructions to rest and recover. Cardiology specialist appointment hoping to be moved forward from June.

Update cardiology have changed my meds and want to monitor me for 24 hours. If no pain I will probably be sent home then. If I have pain it will be transfer to the cardiology ward for further

It’s a good start nice easy romp.

Morning all. Angina appears to be playing up. 16 hours in A&E yesterday finally got a bed on a ward during the night. Will see the cardiologist today and go from there. Good news is I feel a lot better today. I’ve also ordered a three course lunch which I am sure won’t live up.

The Feb Northern IC NW Pub Meet has moved!
Now on TUESDAY 27th February, still at the superb Ye Olde Hob Inn, Bamber Bridge, Lancs.
All very welcome for an evening of the finest nosh and waffle. Ask for info. #WeHaveWays

Keep trying with Bluesky but the last few times I’ve logged on it’s becoming to the left what twitter has become to the right.

Hand over the steak sir, you’ve had enough.

Never forget

Merry Christmas everyone!

Sorry for the late reply I didn’t get a notification. Yeah I really like it and I haven’t managed to find a book yet that it doesn’t recognize

#histbookchat this years challenge is completed. The last book I read is recommended for any lovers of historical fiction. napoleons spy by Ben Kane

Sometimes you just step back from life and remember how fucking lucky you are. Having This boy is the best thing I ever did or will do. Bugger all else matters!

Yeah really good gig and lucky to have two of my favorites playing together

Brilliant night out last night to watch madness and lightning seeds. Lightning seeds was my first ever gig as a ten year old

A brilliant performance by Charlie in not one but two shows yesterday. Lad can sing and dance. He does not get either of these things from me.

Happy thanksgiving to my American friends and the rest of you. Enjoy the 12 hours of football

People moaning about the Napoleon movie but the bit where he takes out the dinosaur with the PIAT is fucking cool

I’m just developing a cold for that night 🤣
