Writer, hopefully. Into photography, gardening, Sci-fi, travel lit, travel etc. Bad knees, dodgy name, head like an egg. Northern, European. Everton, sometimes Boro. Same @ everywhere. Not the cage fighter.

โ€œLocation, location, location. Of few towns could those words be more appropriate than of #Stirling ... described as โ€˜the brooch which clasps the Highlands & the Lowlands togetherโ€™ and situated at what, until recent times, was the first crossing of the Forth.โ€ Stirling 1860 notes by Alan Godfrey.

Starmer is just a focus group in a suit. Heโ€™s running the country like itโ€™s the X Factor and heโ€™ll get voted out every week if heโ€™s not racist enough.

Trying to tell the JSA people that I have a change in circumstances...why is it only on the phone? Why can't I change my claim online?

As I'm trying to cancel my claim I get an email saying the process has started, but no link to it. Ach.

Urgh. It happened again.
On the phone to sort out a boiler repair. Towards the end of the conversation... *The Question.*
"So, your name...you heard of...?"

"Yes" I sigh, in a tired but kind way. "He has become a kind of inspiration to not be like him. He has my name and says such shitty things."

I know how wonderful you are through your words Cooper.

You're beautiful from inside to out, society tells us it's the other way round, but it's not true.

Sending my love and best wishes that you see yourself again soon x

Like many places in the NW of England, the shadow of Ireland looms large over Holyhead, as discussed at interesting length by Alan Godfrey on our Holyhead 1923 map. Unlike โ€˜the largest Irish cityโ€™ โ€“ Liverpool, few Irish seemed to have settled in Holyhead, passing on to other places, like London.

Are they taught about what the British did after that, with indentured Asians?

The British were, well, there's not a strong enough word.

Fellers, there's a reason I don't post my full surname. I feel the pain.

Few maps have changed as much as #Swansea (North) 1897, from one set of uses to another.
Unlike housing estates marching across fields, farms & forests, todayโ€™s map has radically altered from heavy industry into light shopping and entertainment. The beautiful #Cymric names are still there though.

I feel like it's a way to distract Trump. The goons are "check out this new gold, oh while you do, sign that yeah? Oh. Uh. Just the bill for the gold..."
