Nebula by Derailed of Ludlow Brewery. One of the best beers I’ve had in a long time. Last one of the case. Highly recommended.

5pm last wk every single Latics fan left the ground feeling 10ft tall, brimming with pride at seeing our team #wafc give it a right go. Today we spilled out early in droves. Yes the clubs been to brink & yes we’ve barely got a pot to piss in but we deserve better than this drivel

I picked up this gem back in 1992 I think, and without question its still the best Indie Compilation I've ever bought. How many do you remember? #indie #the90s @indieover40.bsky.social

Day 7 without any Wi-Fi or TV from #virginmedia - never mind, they’ve only moved the date back 3 times now - great works guys. Out of the DVD box tonight is this classic from 1994 “Alan Partridge Knowing Me Knowing You”

Day 4 without any #virginmedia services. Not even an email to say works being carried out - thanks guys! 👍 Anyway, we continue ploughing through a box of old DVDs. Tonight it’s Charlie Says - British Public Information films.

Just read The Nanny State Made Me - in the spirit of the book and Maconies focal point, I borrowed a copy from Wigan Library. Nostalgic trips down memory lane of life on #Wigan Council Estates (many now gone), a brilliant celebration of the Welfare State. Go borrow a copy from your local library.

We’ve been blessed with the company of this 3 legged princess on our train from Newcastle to Carlisle. Not had a peep out of her until we pulled into the station, she then started shouting to tell everyone we’d arrived. 🐶🚂

Some community spirited folk in #Ince, #Wigan, started a foodbank (building previously CofE Church & been unused for Yrs) to provide much needed support for local people. A falsehood about the building becoming a Mosque circulated. Local Councillor didn’t quash these lies, arson was the outcome.

'We were powerful then; vast, grey, regimented council-house estates like mine were the citadels of ordinary men and women whose work conferred prestige and influence', says Stuart Maconie. My new post looks at post-war council housing in Wigan. municipaldreams.wordpress.com/2024/12/17/c...
