Thatโ€™s a fab review @johnrobbofficial.bsky.social - Iโ€™m not a massive Oasis fan & I didnโ€™t go to any of the gigs, but itโ€™s refreshing to read an honest, unpretentious, down to earth review that didnโ€™t try to philosophise or apologise.

This is fantastic and should be echoed by every council in the country. I'm wholly, angrily sick of the divisive, whining grievance narratives that are allowed to fester and propagate on rotten platforms like Facebook and are all too often aided by certain compliant sections of the news media.

Judging by the current speed weโ€™re working atโ€ฆ.and other projects weโ€™ve also got to fit inโ€ฆ.Iโ€™m guessing Record Store Day 26 !

Trump bombs a country that poses no immediate threat to the US without Congress approval or reference to the UN and all Starmer does is whine about who is on at Glastonbury. We deserve much, much better than this.

FFS ! This is disgusting. At least I can say that Iโ€™ve never, ever listened to anything on Spotify, ever, or uploaded any of my music to Spotifyโ€ฆ.. not that it would make even the tiniest differenceโ€ฆ. โ˜น๏ธ

Whilst Iโ€™m not a massive fan of TG or P-Orridge in any way, I find it incredible that the Guardian thinks him โ€˜not seriously important in either art or musicโ€™ ! I saw PTV in the 80โ€™s & it remains one of the best gigs Iโ€™ve ever been to. The world is better for the likes of Genesis P-Orridge.

I am, right now, at a slide show of Robinโ€™s photos ! Thatโ€™s the back of Robinโ€ฆโ€ฆ
A total coincidenceโ€ฆ.Iโ€™m at a book launch event and Robin is here showing slides of his Middlesbrough images ! Theyโ€™re amazing !

Itโ€™s my favourite petrol station in the world. Iโ€™m pretty sure theyโ€™ve knocked it down. I didnโ€™t see it the other week when I drove down the A1โ€ฆ.but I hope Iโ€™m wrongโ€ฆ

You should check out the Leeds photos of Peter Mitchel at Strangely Familiar - same vibe and time period but mainly taken in Leedsโ€ฆ

We know Robinโ€ฆ..Weโ€™d been looking at those photos, admiring themโ€ฆ. And then we discovered Robin had taken them ! Blown away !

According to local โ€˜gossipโ€™ - โ€˜Pot Shop Paulโ€™ is in some very long running dispute with the council (I have no idea what that is about) & refuses to paint his shop or tidy up or make any effort in any way whatsoever - but continues to piss off everyone - including The Magpie next doorโ€ฆ.

Dear @theguardian.com - your new website design is rubbish ! There is now NO facility to โ€œHideโ€ sections Iโ€™m NOT INTERESTED IN - like Sport etcโ€ฆ.. Iโ€™m seriously thinking of going somewhere else for my news where I can choose which news sections are displayedโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ˜
