John Beverley

It probably is older but I never knew of it nor used it back then for sure.

The chart in question was 1970, which any mathematician will tell you is the last year of the sixties.

Seventeen year old me would be just as gobsmacked (a word that had not yet been invented) as the today me at the number of those acts still performing.

Nice.

One of the best.

I saw a live performance (the only live performance?) at Sheffield City Hall, including Alan’s Psychedelic Breakfast, with sausages fried on stage.

Amanhã, o meu quinteto com clarinete "Dos ramos à raiz" será tocado no Porto pelos Solistas da Orquestra Sinfónica do Porto Casa da Música 👌https://casadamusica.com/event/solistas-no-palacio-da-bolsa-20250428/ @uymp.bsky.social @artwayeditions.bsky.social - Palácio da Bolsa, 21.30h

It’s Beverley, not Beverely.

Early adopter.

An autumnal picture of a monument to the dead. Warm hues in the early morning sunshine.

Commonwealth war graves in Lawnswood Cemetery, Leeds just after dawn this chilly September morning.

Manchego is one of the great cheeses of the world. Eggs in a multitude of forms, tortilla of course, also revueltos a sort of lumpy scramble. The heavy bean and pork stew, Fabada Asturiana, best eaten after hiking on a cold day in the Picos mountain range. Fresh seafood washed down with fino sherry.

Spain has some of the best food. San Sebastian, Gijon & Sanlucar my favourites.

... but oddly normal.

A dramatic rock formation at Brimham Rocks under a bright blue sky with scattered clouds. White text reads: “4 Yorkshire Walks to discover this weekend…” with the Yorkshire Unscrolled logo in the corner.

The August Bank Holiday is approaching fast (the last one for a bit, so better make it count!) 🥲

From the dramatic rock formations of Brimham to the peaceful rolling hills of #Wharfedale, Yorkshire has no shortage of places to stretch your legs. Here are four walks worth exploring this weekend:

Helpful thread. I'm thinking of going electric and this is the sort of journey I hope to be making.

Likewise, but the greatest invention after central heating is the string that holds your specs around your neck when you take them off.

Third greatest invention is half-moon specs obviously.

Ditch the Duchies CHANGE THE COUNTRY FOR GOOD.

“Ditch the Duchies”

Short slogan, sensible message.

You are right.

Thank you to everyone who has shared or read Future North in its first week!

This week I have started with two pictures. But can you guess what they are and why they are important?

Short thread.

Beat the heat advice from our green doctor team

Most of are owned by super rich young men from the Gulf states that are vacationing in London. They swan around the West End parking wherever they fancy. If we are present we applaud when they are impounded. It is actually a bonding experience for Brits of all social classes to join in the applause.

Well said.

At first glance the shorts look incongruous with the weather, but actually its the boys in long trousers that are incongruous. We didn't wear long trousers until big school (11 years old).

I tried green when I read that the first head of MI6 used green ink, but settled on a very dark brown, it gave my scribbles an antique look. I used to be pretentious, probably still am.

Chamberlain’s back story is interesting. He didn’t fight in the First War, but he was very affected by the losses and the shell-shocked veterans who came back from France. He was determined not to let it happen again, but he made some serious misjudgements.

My handwriting is hopeless these days. Back in the day I would unscrew the lid of my Mont Blanc fountain pen and write notes in coloured (pretentious) ink.

Filofax was marvellous. I went upmarket, yuppie that I was, with a Lefax. Still prefer a scribbled diary to a screen.

You’re very considerate. I worked with his grandson in London, someone I had huge respect for.
