And we’re meant to be celebrating the centenary of Thatcher’s birth! The root cause of much of what is wrong with this country.

Forgotten classic

Easy to write him off as an idiot but he’s a dangerous idiot.

A one off! Hence sharing it.

Many years ago, late 90s, I was being shown around a house in higher Beb by the seller who waited until the end of the tour to deliver what he thought was the clincher- ‘this house used to belong to Patricia Routledge’ - unimpressed, we didn’t buy it.

Great top 5 singles, but Big Fun at 6??? Are they trying to be funny or was it genuinely thought bought to be a classic?

I can think of one person who’ll make the effort 😉

The trains were off earlier. Broken down train under the river. Hope it’s sorted.

I’m new to this. 693 today, my best from 3 attempts but sadly 8 points short of victory in the household

Magnificent stuff, great research, I’m glad you’re not wasting your leisure time.

One of my fave Manc pubs. Probably make an appearance in there tomorrow.

Similar to mine with the exception of of Mogwai.

Walking up bold street on a Friday night is a bit grim these days. It used to be one of my favourite parts of Liverpool

@theshipbuilders.bsky.social at Leaf 18/7/25, excellent as always

Take care, best wishes to you and your family.

People think money has ruined football but the sight of a rapist dictator standing next to a corrupt football official in front of a big gold trophy at a competition bankrolled by Saudi Arabia reminds me the game still belongs to us.

Know the feeling. Just been packing for holiday to be told ‘ well that shirt doesn’t go with any of your shorts etc’

I’ve spent the last couple of evenings in Greek tavernas with the young lad in the Jam T-shirt. Suffice to say, at our age, no dancing took place.

Sometimes I think cricket was better when Syed Kirmani would come in at 8 or 9 and on a good day graft his way to 35.

New EasyJet destination from Liverpool. Mrs J wants to go, I’ll make sure we avoid your gang of bad boys.

If I was George I’d be strutting around like a peacock not asking for an apology

Great tale, didn’t know they were at school together.
