I will be on BBC Radio Guernsey and BBC Radio Jersey on Sunday 24th just after 11am talking about why being a citizen of a neutral country in the German occupied Channel Islands wasn’t such an easy life as it is sometimes portrayed. Why the Irish got a raw deal post occupation and more. 🗃️

For anyone who knows @strangelyhappy.bsky.social and the @whwnorthernic.bsky.social they will know what heroic efforts this gent has put in to the logistics of organising us to a wonderful amount of events over his 3 years at the helm. No amount of thanks are sufficient. Enjoy your retirement.

I smoked when I was younger I packed in at 21 and it’s not something I will be doing again. I will never back a government wanting to ban it completely however. It’s not the governments place. Worrying times when you have to wonder what’s next?

What a player even as a Wigan fan you couldn’t fail to respect that. However more importantly what a man. The awareness he spread and the funds he raised whilst battling the terrible illness will forever be an inspiration. Rest in peace Mr Burrow the defences of heaven will be terrified tonight.

I was worried about two weeks with my feet up but 4 days in and I think retirement could suit me. Dog seems all on board with it as well. Wife not so much. Apologies to anyone reading this at work I’m aware it makes me a total git.

Such sad news. RIP Ian Lavender. If I was on a desert island dads army would always have been my box set. I was raised on this program. At ease Pike.

Morning all. Angina appears to be playing up. 16 hours in A&E yesterday finally got a bed on a ward during the night. Will see the cardiologist today and go from there. Good news is I feel a lot better today. I’ve also ordered a three course lunch which I am sure won’t live up.

Keep trying with Bluesky but the last few times I’ve logged on it’s becoming to the left what twitter has become to the right.

Quick question for the modelers I’m going to branch out and do some napoleonic stuff. Best figures/places to get them would be very much appreciated

At the start of the year I set myself a challenge to read 52 books with a caveat that this massive work would be my last read at the appropriate time of year. I have just finished book 51 so here goes. I’ve been looking forward to this #histbookchat

Well it was a good few weeks on here before it became a political cesspit. So in joining in what’s plan B when voting out the Tory’s doesn’t magically fix everything? Plenty of problems one can’t argue but not many solutions being proffered

Winning the November 'Spirit of Jon Hughes' award at the We Have Ways IC NW pub meet, Erik channelled his inner aristocracy for ' Cambridge man meets Northern ale'. Sadly we can only aspire to the regal aura of our favourite Southern chum. Plus no servants present. Sigh. #WeHaveWays

After the numerous sporting disappointments that occurred yesterday I’m off to St H***me to watch England rugby league. Last time I did this it was at the emirates in the World Cup semi final and I can confirm it was also disappointing
