@camsell59.bsky.social A cursory look at Derek Dougan's Wikipedia page suggests that he led a very colourful life. It says that he was a fan of psychedelic rock but I have also read that he is on the cover of a live Rory Gallagher album, a front row face in the crowd. Surely this is a unique feat?

@weareterriers.com The podcast, your analysis and assessments, are always spot on. Don't worry, you are still hitting the mark and I look forward to every episode and email. You are spot on though- people are getting increasingly angry, and frightened, and football is the escape valve.

@jessphillipsmp.bsky.social Just want to express solidarity with you & acknowledge that the standards of decency in politics have declined to such an extent that you have been failed by many MPs on the Oppn. benches. You have always worked tirelessly and effectively for women throughout your career.

@msmirandasawyer.bsky.social Just finished 'uncommon people'- an amazing glimpse into a very special time in music and a treasured time for many people. No major errors- should read Clint Mansell not Clint Boon from PWEI. Now back to my Britpop Spotify list!
