Great to see and hear the fairground organs in action in The Quarry again this afternoon. A bit surreal though to hear traditional tunes such as “Bless ‘em All” and “William Tell Overture” alongside Barry Ryan’s “Eloise”! 🤣 #Shrewsbury

And we all used to laugh at Kim Jong-Il propaganda. Yes, this is real. How utterly classless.

Shropshire is changing, and is fertile ground for the Liberal Democrats. I'm very glad that Reform hasn't made anywhere near as much progress as they'd hoped. Farage was in Shrewsbury, pleading for votes. The countryside isn't bigoted, and I'm glad to see liberal and progressive parties make gains

NatWest profits soar 36% as full privatisation looms. After the 2007-08 crash UK govt bailed it out for £46bn. Tory/Labour sale of shares expected to recoup £25bn. Another state subsidy to the City/rich. Natwest could have become UK's public bank to revive the economy, but govts lack vision.

UFO. One of the most underrated bands of the 70s / early 80s. This gem reaches a fantastic climax and is one of my favourite rock tracks. open.spotify.com/track/4v6F1p...

Just been nearly mown down from behind by a mobility scooter. No warning, no acknowledgment, no apology. Driver was tearing along on a narrow pavement on her mobile phone. Different / no rules? Certainly no courtesy.

I see that vile, loathsome Lucozade (c)rap advert featuring Jude Bellingham is back on. Ironic given that we’re watching a 70s memories programme featuring some of the greatest ads of all time.

I don’t usual bother with any of this “commenting on people’s clothing” bollocks, but given Trump’s form for criticising Zelensky on this issue…

Budgie. One of those bands I missed first time round. I remember seeing their albums everywhere in the 70s but for whatever reason I never got round to trying them. Making up for it now. Top stuff! 👍🏻👏🏻🎼🎸🎸 youtu.be/x_BO4THp1BU?...

Are there any of my #Shrewsbury followers with a good knowledge of music from 1990s to present day interested in making up a team for a music quiz?

In the same week Trump has attacked President Zelensky for upholding Ukrainian sovereignty, he can only bring himself to describe Putin's deadly missile strikes as "bad timing." This tells you everything you need to know.
