Memories of The Pogues today. Gigs with @bfitzie1 and @friscondo Brixton Academy, Wembley and maybe the most brutal gig I've been to at Electric Ballroom, Camden.

@Rainmaker1973 Makes me think of the song "The Man Who Fell To Earth" by @WillVarleyMusic haunting and beautiful.

This is the last picture of Keith Sapsford. He was a 14-year-old boy from Australia who tragically lost his life in 1970 while attempting to stow away on a Japan Airlines flight from Sydney to Tokyo. Keith had run away from home and was determined to see the world, but he never made it to his destination. He managed to sneak into the wheel well of a Boeing 707 jetliner. He climbed into the compartment and hid there while the plane prepared for takeoff. As the plane lifted off and soared into the sky, Keith was exposed to extreme temperatures and low oxygen levels, which proved fatal. Tragically, Keith's body was discovered by photographer John Gilpin who was on the ground taking pictures of the plane. Gilpin didn’t even realize the tragedy he had photographed until about a week later when he developed the film.

@VirtualAstro Sunderland. Really looking forward to it.

Do you all see my posts about my show in Bradford, Sunderland and other places? Are you coming? 😀

@biggytimmkins Hi Jimmy. In my head I was always going to buy a physical copy of TCHOW when I saw Vega Bodegas live. Obvs that won't happen now. Any ideas where I can get a copy? (vinyl pref if it exists)

@chrischirp If you restrict this to NHS, you will effectively exclude the care home experience.

All types of role included (nurse, doc, allied health, GP etc). Pls just say in own words how it felt, and/or longer term impact on you/NHS. It's not much, but I'd like to help bear witness to what happened in as far as I can. And this is one way to create a record.

Too many think that, in the end, NHS coped fine with covid I'm planning a substack on what happened from 2020 to 2021, inc ICU I'd like to include ANONYMOUS quotes from FRONTLINE staff on what it was like, to bear witness Please fill out & share! surveymonkey.co.uk/r/PKH9MRT

@PhilipProudfoot That sucks. I picked up 2 singles London to Sunlun with railcard for £121 1st class for 22nd dec just last week. Grand Central always seems cheaper than LNER.

Trying to go home for Christmas (2x adults with rail cards). Love this country. Love it.

@Thevegabodegas Right, that's it. Unfollowed.

The Vega Bodegas 2016 - 2023 It’s been an absolute pleasure making music for you, but the time has come to say goodbye! Thank you Marc, Jamie, Jimmy and Nathan Remember “there’s more to life than just eating chicken.”

I hate the Israelí government. I do not hate Jews.

Partial eclipse today in N and S.America. So, yeah, we're in Havana.

Mammal Society announces a series of U-turns on mammal conservation. In an effort to win over the general public, CEO, Matt Larsen-Daw announced changes to the way we reverse the steep decline in mammal populations in a way that is fairer to the British people. #NetZero #Satire

@implausibleblog This is completely lost on me. What is the point of growth if acheiving it makes life worse for the majority of people?

Liz Truss: "Reduce benefits, raise retirement age, start fracking, abolish the windfall tax, diverge properly from the EU, delay net zero commitments, abandon replacing gas and oil boilers. This will not be easy but it will be worth doing." Bonkers. Completely and utterly bonkers.

@AJohnsonuk @snb19692 Of course there have, but that's not my point. Show me a post by any otherwise sensible person, celebrating those attacks.

Oops! Careless smoking!

A totally local and largely underground playlist at Shields tomorrow. Well done.

@KHarveyProctor If someone says you shouldn't say something.......freedom of expresión issue. If someone says you're wrong......no freedom of expresión issue. Simple.

People castigating me for having an alleged problem with freedom of expression with regard to my tweet re EU flags at Last Night of the Proms. Firstly, & quite simply, what about my freedom of expression? Secondly, my issue is with the BBC allowing the event to be used as a PR campaign for the EU. The ‘be kind’ left are showing their true colours - ageist, homophobic, anti-Conservative attacks who do not like opinions which deviate from their own.

Picked up a wowcher deal to get Theo to Malta for his 60th. Upgraded to the best suite in a good hotel. Sometimes stuff works out fine.
