Lowe's post-match press conference:
Wigan win: "The players carried out my game plan".
Preston win: "The players failed to carry out my game plan".

Probably fair enough.

I don't think too many supporters of any club would disagree with this sentiment. Salah is on an extremely lucrative contract and is (or maybe was) adored by LFC's support. Poor way to engineer an exit. Alexander-Arnold is probably looking on with bemusement.

Quite a moonrise this evening.

Controversial stuff from @belfasttelegraph.co.uk - Wigan is not a valid word...... 🧐

WITCHCRAFT.

“Nothing ever seems too bad, too hard or too sad when you've got a Christmas tree in the living room. All those presents under it, all that anticipation. Just a way of saying there's always light and hope in the world.”

This is how Chris Mason, like a child filled with wonder, described "the choreography and theatre that surrounds a Budget" in Feb 2024, when a male Tory Chancellor was in post.

"Plans, or even just options, can be floated... Reaction to them can be tested. Opponents can be teased or wrongfooted." 👀

No they're not for me either. I've read the odd horror story where people have used them on holidays/short breaks and they've ended up with some skin complaint, either wrong chemicals or none, or perhaps not even clean as you said.

Very decent and potentially important final wicket partnership at close there.

On Paul McGrath’s birthday, a reminder of one of the great defensive performances of all time.

Italy. Giants Stadium. 1994.

Unfit, but utterly unbeatable

There was another one in the early hours a few years ago. It left a crack in our bedroom wall. Mrs H was bracing for Armageddon while I managed to sleep right through it and missed the whole thing.

Coronation Street - written by Peter Whalley (3rd December 1980). Stan returns home from the doctors with some disturbing news - for medical reasons, he needs to give up beer.

Women being allowed their own institutions without being compelled to admit blokes is a good thing right? I mean unless you're into coverture and all that old regressive stuff.

Claim Reform UK 'changed atmosphere' at Lancashire County Council amid social media storm Lancashire County Council says a meeting between political leaders and the police about concerns over some councillors’ use of social media was “productive” – and designed to encourage “high standards...

A lesson in turning out to vote in local elections. Apathy led to this shower of shite getting elected.

😄 Fantastic Geoff. There's so much history in those walls. 1978 alone had ACDC, Blondie, Motorhead, The Clash, The Jam, Judas Priest and Hawkwind...

£9m refurbished Blackburn King George's Hall to reopen Autumn 2026 The famous venue will reopen next Autumn after a £9m renovation, Blackburn with Darwen Council says.

KGH in #Blackburn is a superb concert venue. I'm delighted to see this. Probably the best medium-sized gig venue in the NW and a worthy rival to those in the cities.🎸🎶

Don't panic, they've clarified it wasn't a cobra on the loose in Burnley, just a rattlesnake. Phew.

A scenic rural landscape featuring gently sloping hills divided by multiple dry stone walls forming irregular, terraced fields. The foreground and midground display lush green grass, while the upper hills transition into muted brown tones with patches of exposed rock. Two small, traditional stone barns with pitched roofs are scattered among the fields, blending into the natural setting. Several leafless trees stand along the terraces, and a few white sheep graze on the grass. The sky above is overcast, casting soft, diffused light across the scene, creating a calm and pastoral atmosphere.

Ancient dry-stone walls and field barns are defining features of the Dales landscape - shaped over thousands of years by people and nature. This view is from the edge of Grass Woods (Grassington) looking in the direction of Conistone.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that there's possibly more to this story than the patient has suggested to the newspaper 🤔

Happy #LancashireDay. To be ecumenical, here's Yorkshire Street, Oldham, Lancashire, c.1935, painting by Harry Rutherford, 1903-85 (Gallery Oldham).

You don't even need to read the article to know how this ends. Next Week - Puma seen prowling Oswaldtwistle. Being chased by a cobra probably.

Some folk seem very angry about younger people and lower earners having a reasonable standard of living.
