Why is he strangling her?

I’ve just been to the cinema to watch the film I Swear. A true story. Funny, sad and educational.

No one would leave the cinema until the lights came up. Thank the lawd I brought a tissue with me.

I watched the Lorraine Nash and Dan Sealey, (ex-OCS), tour tonight, two days on the bounce. Two artists thrown together for a tour by their agent.

Two different styles, but it worked so well as they’ve built up a friendship that is very evident on stage, and duets inevitable.

Both greats nights.

I have the 1964 wolfhound coin from this site. It is a thing of beauty!

Watching the BBC “Nine Bodies in a Mexican Morgue”. Episode 5 has a very badly lit/cgi scene. Looks awful!

Fun fact: The DeLorean speedometer only went up to 85mph in the US.

So sad to see him go away

Early morning drive to Manchester on little sleep.

Amazingly wide awake, and the traffic was good. Will catch some zzz’s on the plane.

My Dad’s anniversary!!

Get yourself a twofer

I’ve just had two great trips to Ireland in the last week. However, as much as I like live bands, the limited range of cover songs is a spoiler. #MixItUpABitPlease

YouTube video by The Guardian Patrick Stewart sketch: what has the ECHR ever done for us?

A good time to reshare this?

Definitely, define your own moment, and don’t borrow someone else’s spotlight!

Good point. A section of the north of Ireland …

Someone help me to understand this, especially from the chanters. What is the actual stance being portrayed here?

Because the people of the Republic supports the harm to the Palastine people, the north of Ireland needs to support the Israel genocide? Odd.

Of course there will be FBI records if this to prove it

Reminds me of the Julian Clary “Who Do You Think You Are” episode. Right at the beginning his mom said, “I hope you don’t find anyone foreign”, possibly reported slightly inaccurate, but the feeling is there.

Both grand parents on mom and dad’s side were German!

It’s on YouTube if you want it

All the worst people. Where do they all belong?!?

Thoughts and prayers!

Well #MoseleyFolkFestival, that was a great weekend. Some great choices of bands and entertainment. Too may to mention. Bring on 2026!

Overwhelmed today from the love of my now ex-colleagues.so many presents, including 5 bottles of whiskey. That’s breakfast sorted!

Absolutely in tears at several points during the day, especially during my speech, which caused several people to cry, including me!

The start of a big weekend for me, retiring today after 45 years, and 1 day #AJobForLife. Then Moseley Folk for the weekend to celebrate!

Just been to a friends family party and upset at the life I never had!

Guinness robot barmaid machine

#speirgorm Went to the #FontainesDC in Wythenshawe, Manchester. Great gig with 4 great bands, but was disappointed to see that #Guinness had replaced the bar person with robots

#speirgorm Interesting fact on the BBC programme Union, by David Olusoga.

Due to An Gorta Mór, in 1861, New York was the largest Irish city in the world, due to the number of people escaping the famine.

The author, 61, drinking from a dubious mug

6 and 1, 61.

Went to an open mic evening. What a plethora of talent!

An old Blockbusters card

Found my #Blockbusters card (UK) version. I’m off there now. Anyone want anything bringing back? #vintage #vhs #dvd

Candi Staton, #YoungHeartsRunFree came on the radio whilst I was driving. Volume up, and singing my heart out. If, I’d only listened to the advice within the song I could have saved myself a lot of heartache along the way!
