Here’s us, howling it out at our own VE80 bash. It was bloody windy indeed.

A few well-fed faces here. Don’t spose (like my dad) they had to go through 27 military tribunals for a war pension for extreme disability. It’s an unequal society when the great & good live in luxury whilst every day people grub around making end’s meet. I believe we need to change that somehow.

This is as close to my relationship with my mum as you could see in a comic strip. Made me emotional to look at it. Mary Fry 13 years over the rainbow 🌈

Hello Blue Sky community! I have just got here :) Please introduce yourselves - I might know a few of you already. I'm a gigging musician so that's my main interest. If you are too, or are a venue / promoter, then maybe this is a good place to all hook up for all our benefits... :)

This show. Not broadcasting now but still in the archives of WFMU.org. It goes back to 2001 and ends in 2022. Each show 3 hours. Freeform Roots music, folk, avant garde, old country, blues and world genres. I’ve listened to every one of them. Took 18 months, learnt masses 🌹 www.wfmu.org/playlists/SP

Back when, as a military fella, I knew these contraptions pretty well. Made in the early 50’s they were still in use in the late 60’s. Unreliable, contrary and, in some cases, plain dangerous😐 I guess we got the best out of um with some skill hopefully.

The EU has told Donald Trump it won't cut ties with China and it won't let the USA's criminally low standard food in. Well done.

You probably 'remember' that Corbyn was Putin's stooge, when in fact, as Peter Oborne points out (former Telegraph journo), 'no politician has been more consistent or more prescient about Putin than Corbyn'. An example of how history and memory is rewritten by the centre and right.

This sounds EXACTLY like the Brexiters – right before the EU starting cutting the UK out of its supply chains. #MAGAmerica 😂

Like many secondary school boys who bombed the 11plus, I learnt to use a small Myford in Metalwork class. Nothing like this magnificence mind. Precision forged by skilled hand, where metal meets mastery. The manual machinist’s world: no shortcuts, just pure craftsmanship.

The Man Who Built Titanic Stan Fraser lived in Inverness & was fascinated by the sea & particularly boats. All sorts of sea-going craft. But his favourite was Titanic. So Stan decided to build one, only a scale model of course. Titanic was 880 ft (270m) long. So Stan settled for 1/10 scale. 1/15

“He made 2.5 million today and he made $900 million. That’s not bad.” Sounds like market manipulation to me. That’s bad.

North Sea oil and gas is like a toxic ex - best left in the past. Britain needs to focus on its future, which is green and full of growth. Where to start: lowering bills for working people.

Privatisation hasn't failed, it is Profitisation. Taking something owned by you, transferring it to them, and then robbing you forever. It should all be taken back from the thieves with no compensation.

I’m off North of the Border with this one tomorrow. Walking, scoffing and experiencing the scenery around Loch Lomond. Excited don’t cover it.

After getting some rest, I am in awe of everyone who continues to lift their voice and speak out. This is a moment for our country, and we must make a choice about the America we want to be.

“When you blame yourself, you learn from it. If you blame someone else, you don’t learn nothing, cause hey, it’s not your fault, it’s his fault, over there. That is the hardest thing of all. That’s a grown-up. You’ve gotta grow up in this world.” Joe Strummer

As you’ll see from my bio above, I call myself a cook. I screwed up a little pan making semolina a couple of days ago very royally. Its unlike me tbf but I’ve never made this gloopy stuff before. An hour boil on the stove with Bio washing powder in the water restored my old milk pan. Made 1980 btw😎

Apparently two weeks ago, a journalist was accidentally invited to a top-secret US military strategy group chat. You could not make this up.
