Steve is 70 and proves Punk is not dead. He had energy on stage and gave it everything. If you criticise this then f off to BGT in Blackpool.

I think I have got to the age in life where I really can't be arsed travelling to gigs!!!!

Tonight we are off down Manchester to see The Stranglers which I am looking forward too but not travelling so I suspect this will be the last travelling gig, sticking to local gigs now.

This ruling is a joke.

PPE Medpro will go bankrupt and the Government won't get a penny.

Michelle Mone should have to pay the Β£122m personally.

RT if you want to see her pay it all back.

Last hour or so spent in the kitchen cooking a Chilli-con-carne
Apparently in 34 years I have not cooked this for my wife before πŸ€”
Oh well it is in the slow cooker now and thought best to prep the other bit too.

We need to deport Nigel Farage back to his owners in the USA.

It won't take much effort, he goes to the USA every single month, just cancel his citizenship while he is there.

Tough luck USA you bought him, no refunds.

Patriots celebrate "taking are cuntry back" by crayoning red crosses on walls and pissing in public Yesterday saw the largest gathering of flag shaggers in human history as Tommy Robinson supporters marched in London to finally "take are cuntry back" and "save are women" from brown people.

They're making me beam with pride x

So in 60 days time, British Summer Time ends, the dark nights are rolling in and 60 days following that father Christmas will be dropping your pressies off.

Enjoy your day peeps

Knackered!
Spent the afternoon in full sun taking the old plastic corrugated roof down in the bar, rebuilding the structure ready for a new wood/ felt roof I will fit tomorrow.
Currently due to building the bar is shut, good job I remembered to put some tins in the fridge.
Oh and some old PuNk music

Last Friday our grey bin was damaged by Enveco bin men, I have been told I have to buy a new bin because it is 18 years old and it is classed as wear and tear.
@chriswebbmp.bsky.social how does that constitute wear and tear when clearly they damaged it.
Blackpool council are a joke.
