@thesturge @absoluteradio Picked TP track cos it had back in it!

@DougandGoblins @absoluteradio awww sorry to hear that - ouch! Can't play Tom Petty tonight, I think it's in the next show. Shall I play you another fine classic rock anthem?

Afternoon! Standing by to fill Easter Sunday evening with amazing tunes. What can round off a day of choco overindulgence? (or is that just me?) Request an indie disco dance-floor filler or a classic rock anthem below. And I'll see you from 6pm on @absoluteradio #RequestShow

@xam459 Your GD is teaching us a whole new vocabulary

Out for a walk with GD2 earlier as usual non stop chatter, lots of picking up grit from the path to put into little piles then kick or throw 🙄😂. Poking stuff with a stick “Let’s leave that sweetheart, it’s a cigarette end it’s horrible and dirty” “Oh ok it’s hobbalull” 😂❤️

@xam459 @MuscularEnglish Didn't Malcolm Muggeridge get his knickers in a twist over this,

@MuscularEnglish Considered so blasphemous by some that many local councils banned it. My local town at the time did just that. Many other cinemas had protests outside. You are talking out of your backside.

Also correct me for this but when Life of Brian came out Christians didn't go off their rockers and call John Cleese a "Christophobe" Muslims need to learn that mockery, criticism and questions or comments they don't like are part of living in the West. They're not special. They're just one group with one ideology that is as open to scrutiny, mockery and scrutiny as any other.

@xam459 @triffic_stuff_ @go_command Haters gonna hate. I despair of our education system

@triffic_stuff_ @go_command You’re full of shit nobody is upset about Easter. You’re talking out of you arse. Those pictures are from one specific shop from two years ago. 🤡

🚨CADBURY DITCHES EASTER: NOW SELLING “GESTURE EGGS” 🤬🍫 Britain’s 1,400-Year Christian Heritage Erased to Pandering to Certain Communities Who Might Get Upset ✝️ For more than fourteen centuries Britain has been a Christian nation. Through invasions, wars, the Black Death, Reformation, civil war, two world wars, and every kind of hardship, one thing remained constant: the joyful celebration of Easter. Yet in 2026 Cadbury, a brand built on British chocolate and long associated with Easter, has quietly removed the word “Easter” from its chocolate eggs in outlet stores. They are now labelled Gesture Eggs” with the vague corporate line: “From Cadbury this season.” What season exactly? It is Easter. These are Easter eggs. They are sold for the Easter season. Cadbury is perfectly happy to pocket record profits from the single biggest chocolate sales period of the year, a period driven almost entirely by the Christian festival of Easter, but apparently too frightened (or too cynical) to utter the word itself. This is not an innocent rebrand. It is deliberate pandering to certain communities who might get upset at the sight of a Christian holiday being acknowledged. Another small but telling sign of how mass migration and the relentless push for “inclusivity” at any cost is slowly erasing English and British identity. The same company that once proudly printed “Happy Easter” now seems allergic to the word. Meanwhile the product itself has been quietly degraded for years: lower cocoa content, more palm oil and vegetable fat, less milk, smaller bars, higher prices. Now even the cultural meaning and name of the occasion they exploit is being scrubbed. So Cadbury gets the Easter windfall while pretending Easter doesn’t exist so nobody, especially not newcomers or activist pressure groups, might feel momentarily uncomfortable. That is cultural cowardice dressed in corporate PR. They are Easter eggs. It is Easter. Say it. Shame on Cadbury.

Absolutely definitely the last working day for Max and I today. Except for maybe one day in May. He’ll be 10 in a couple of months so time for us both to call it a day

@alarchwen1968 @TorstenBell 1 station in the North and the rest in south east - west and mid misding out again

@TorstenBell Nothing near Swansea (you know. that city your parachute brought you to).....and all in the run up to Senedd elections where Labour are guaranteed to be TOAST. You buggers don't care about Wales and you personally don't do anything for Swansea.

This is huge. A generational investment from the UK Labour Govt to modernise our railways and create 12,000 jobs across Wales. Fantastic news for people and communities across Wales who have long deserved better. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Mae landlordiaid fel arfer yn cael gorchymyn meddiant gan y llys cyn y gallwch gael eich troi allan. Yn aml, ceir gwrandawiad llys i’r barnwr benderfynu a ddylid gwneud gorchymyn mediant. Byddych yn siŵr o’ch hawliau os wnaiff hyn ddigwydd i chi: shorturl.at/EUtU8

Most landlords have to get a possession order from the court before you can be evicted. There is often a court hearing to help the judge decide whether or not a possession order should be made. Make sure you know your rights if this happens to you: shorturl.at/EUtU8
