I'm heading away for a while, so I couldn't commit but would donate a few copies of my first book. If that would be of interest, Neil.

I'd happily donate a couple of my offerings to that endeavour. Feedback may be painful but...hey-ho πŸ˜€

As we approach the 40th anniversary of Live Aid, why not take a nostalgic trip back to Paisley, Glasgow (and Greenock), London, Berlin, and 1985 with Cal Lynch
It all happened... honestly...

Tomorrow, the truth is waiting for you...

This is a tremendous read by a top journalist who explored his own family past. Covering family and community bonds, which are then torn apart by fracticide. The wounds run deep. Well worth being picked up.

Britain renamed German biscuits - Empire biscuits...they still taste great.
Anything else names got changed?

the lesson of this isn't that tucker carlson is actually good but that you should ask these people basic factual questions instead of bullshit about politics

Maybe the world will realise that America is too powerful and needs to be called out.

Who is taking these people? Where are they taking them? On whose authority are they taking them? What is happening to them? And why the fuck is the American media not screaming about this outrage from the rooftops?

Hi friends, would anyone be aware of any Scottish/UK publishers that are open for submissons for a short story collection?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Great article, I'm sure I got five days off, which was hardly enough. I also think the paid leave for mothers should be increased. The norm now seems to promote nursery places for babies, another cost, as parents need to return to work as soon as possible.
