Ouch

During Covid lockdown, if you had family round on Christmas Day the police could force their way into your home and make them return to their own homes. Does anybody know if this service is still available and, if so, do you have to book it?

⭐️ Thomas Watson - a star is born. Local lad and academy product scoring a brace at 18 in the Championship. You love to see it. That performance was a pleasure to watch today. Take a bow, son! #SAFC

“Taking Britain out of the Erasmus+ programme was a huge mistake. Labour must rejoin and accept the EU’s offer of a youth mobility scheme” 👏👏👏

19-year-old Lewis Koumas opened the scoring for Stoke City. 19-year-old Jobe Bellingham assisted 18-year-old Tom Watson for the Sunderland equaliser. Then Tom Watson scored the winner for Sunderland.

It has been an amazing year at the Fire Station Sunderland - over 200 shows and fantastic performances. So, from now until the end of the year, we'll look back on some highlights from 2024. In November, Waves Festival brought us TOM A SMITH youtu.be/Iyye75PcDJo?...

This. The most effective way to 'smash the gangs' is by offering safe routes for refugees to get here.

And THAT is exactly how people with a huge sense of entitlement regularly behave when they get caught out. #JeremyClarkson

Greetings from Sunderland! 👋 Is it still better than Twitter on here? I keep meaning to return! Anyone I know on here? ❤️ #Sunderland

Many people have fled X, but still valued the political insight on the platform. Good news! Many big accounts have now arrived on Bluesky. Here is a starter pack with the Top 50 UK Political Commentators, based on their follower numbers. Hopefully helpful for new arrivals here. Feel free to share.

SHOCCKING. They've laid the chemtrails in Carmarthenshire dangerously low this morning. ☠️☠️☠️

Day six of following all Sunderland fans back on Bluesky. Really enjoying it on here so far compared to the other place. Drop this post a share so we can all find each other. #SAFC

Surprising to see a picture of the place where I grew up on a CNN post. Penshaw monument is a folly in the North East of England. I grew up within 5 minutes walk of this. The picture is of a supermoon setting behind this iconic structure.

Pretty humbled to have so many follower on here after only four days. Cheers all. I was following loads of ace people on t'other place too. If you were one of them, please holler with your bank details below and I'll make sure i follow straight back.

Day five of following all Sunderland fans back on Bluesky. Drop this post a share so fellow supporters can find you. #SAFC

I’m totally blown away by how the #safc fanbase has come together this week on here. We really are a force for good Ha’way @safc.bsky.social you’re missing out…❤️

We’ve just arrived on @bsky.app and are looking forward to making friends and lots of pleasant chats. I’m “owned” by three spaniels and a traditional sweet shop. #Dogs

*Some personal news* I’ve written a book to raise funds for the Sunderland Community Soup Kitchen. ‘The Mackem Cewkbewk’ is a celebration of the role of food and drink in Wearside culture. You can pre order here: lnkd.in/e2b8rGHA

The more this place reminds me of why I liked social media so much the more I realise that I stopped doing so a long time ago. It’s extraordinary what happened. The volume & violence of posts from accounts you had never shown the slightest interest in just exploded. It *must* have been deliberate.

Twitter is dead. Long live BlueSky. iandunt.substack.com/p/twitter-is...

First vid on Bluesky, an Armageddon-contemplating run on the cliff tops….

Second day of following all Sunderland fans back on here… Spread the word. HWTL. #SAFC

Hello everyone. I am now on this platform for social media. Do please repost this message so that more people can find me!

So if it's a trade choice between: a) chlorinated chicken, plastic cheese, nasty chocolate and b) European food, beer & wine... ...I confess, I have a strong preference for the latter.
