@richfurness @joshpearson180 @anonymous_darts Literally spend £9 quid a pint to then throw it! Fools! That’s if it was beer they were throwing 🙈🙈

Going into this season with the hope it’s Ferraris year 🏎❤️👍

@NiallHarbison Harry my beautiful GSD who we adopted from Manchester Dogs Home in October 24. He was abandoned as a 14 month old on the streets of Manchester. He now lives his best life in the Lake District and has given me my purpose back after losing my other two rescues Marley and Dexter ❤️

My 2 rescue dogs in their Sunday best today. Hank and Chance. Wouldn’t it be cool if everybody who had a rescue shared them in this thread to show the world that rescue dogs are the best option. Shelters and rescues all around the world full of great dogs. Go for it👇

2 things happened this week… a good friend sadly had to put their lovely family dog down and someone told me there was no way they would ever get a dog because they were… “too much work”. It made me think about how much we love our Winnie. You start by getting a dog and think that you’re looking after them but the truth is they care for you. Dogs don’t worry about yesterday or tomorrow - they are kings and queens of living in the moment. ‘Pets’ doesn’t really cover it… they are teachers… they are friends. They mirror you. Their fear grows when yours does. When you are steady, they are at peace and, when something good happens… they’ll celebrate like it’s the best thing in the world. Your dog knows the sound of you coming home, they learn your walk, the rhythm of your laugh and the moment your heart sinks… you are their everything. You are not just their owner… you make them feel safe, you are their routine… you are what home feels like. Every walk is more than exercise… it is precious time with their favourite person. One day… you won’t hear them rushing when you arrrive to show you how much they love having you around. I am not looking forward to that day 💔 You are not just a part of their life… you are their life.

@ThrillaRilla369 Luke littler!

Without naming the place where you’re from, tell us something it’s famous for

@CrazyVibes_1 Well done he will be your most loyal friend ❤️

I walked into the shelter yesterday morning with a bag of old blankets I was donating and walked out holding a soul that had been broken and waiting far too long. This Rottweiler had been returned three times. The label on his kennel said it all. Too much. Too big. Too strong. Too misunderstood. But when I looked at him all I saw was a dog who just wanted someone to sit beside. The staff told me he'd stopped eating two weeks ago. Stopped wagging his tail. He'd just lie there with his head on his paws, watching the door like he was hoping the next person might be the one who didn't walk away. I wasn't planning on adopting. I'd just sold some furniture on Tedooo app and was finally getting my finances stable after the divorce. Getting a dog wasn't part of the plan. But then I sat down outside his kennel. Not looking at him, not talking, just being there. Listening to the silence between us. And something inside me whispered that he's not too much, he's just been without enough love for too long. So I stayed. No words. No treats. Just presence. Slowly, painfully, he moved closer. Laid his massive head on my knee. And finally let out this breath he'd been holding for months. That's when the shelter worker took this photo. Not a rescue. A reunion between two hearts that didn't even know they were lost until they found each other. Now this big boy rides shotgun in my truck. Sleeps beside my bed. Follows me room to room like a shadow stitched in loyalty. I'm calling him Bear because that's what he feels like, this gentle giant who just needed someone to see past the label.

Suicide. I'm choosing to be deliberately blunt and provocative in this post because it's necessary. Government, charities, football clubs are all pushing water up a hill in highlighting what is undoubtedly a major health crisis. You take a rope. You put it up in a garage or a tree nearby or far away. You're thinking about every loved one you'll leave behind as you put that rope around your neck. Then you drop. Some are decapitated. Some aren't. All are found by someone who has a lifetime of trauma that will never leave them. A son. A daughter. A brother. A sister. A mother. A father. I know 2 men who hung themselves. One was found by his Mom. One was found by his brother. Neither have recovered fully. 20 and 30 years on. A life sentence for people who were already worrying, terrified their loved one may do something. So just visualise the above and ask, "is there another way"? A segway for a moment. I do a few Q&A's every year. Tales of yesterday with a 99% male audience of my age group. After the stories and fun, my last question back to the audience is.. "Hands up if you struggle with a mental health issue". Nobody ever puts a hand up. Despite 1 in every 3 of 500 attendees statistically struggling. "Ah, nobody, that's fucking brilliant! Well I do! ". I then graphically tell people, stunned into silence about how a rope around my neck in the middle of nowhere jolted me to go home and cry like a baby to my Mom. After the Q&A has finished, something always happens. I'll be chatting to a few guys, saying bye and one by one, men will come over and whisper " I struggle". Or my mailbox the next day will have 30 emails from guys, their partners or kids saying " Dad/Uncle /Brother was there last night and what you said hit them hard". And that's how some people realise that it's time to speak to a pal or family member or even rant to me in an email. It works, I often get a follow up email a year or 6 later saying that they took responsibility for their suicidal feelings and are now flying. Humans are programmed to want to live, to have families and to keep the species growing and thriving. So for a human to want to short circuit that desire isn't normal, and it should never be spoken of as normal. It's the ultimate red flag. If you suspect your mate, Dad, Brother, Uncle is struggling mentally, they deserve your intervention. They deserve a " are you OK, please tell me what's up". They deserve an opportunity to get past wanting to hang a rope over a tree or in a garage and slowly struggle until they die and you find them. If you've been there and trust me I have plenty, then you'll know that text out of the blue, or a footie mate or one of your kids asking jow you are can open the curtains to some sunshine. Because when suicide is your only answer, the room is already dark, and you can't see a way out. So please, fucking pretty please, ask that husband, Dad, Uncle, Cousin, footie pal TODAY how they are. You may be shocked what comes back but extremely glad that you asked. For those who struggle, you're not alone.

@AlabasterMiss @BoothLyric @RealTimBooth This 💯 ❤️

@BoothLyric @RealTimBooth Looked in the mirror I don't know Who I am anymore The face is familiar But the eyes The eyes give it all away Inspired my daisy tattoo. Though these days I can't get through Moving On without a tear. My (little - 6ft2!) brother who lives in Australia both feel it #NBL

Which @RealTimBooth lyric has affected you the most? Did it inspire you, ignite a passion, give you a spine-tingle? Were there any lyrics you totally misheard? Interact with me, I’m bored! 😘

@MufcWonItAll2 totally horrific 😢

@burrow_geoff my son is raising money for MND at the Manchester Half Marathon tomorrow. He is just £22 short of £500. Hopefully he will get a few more to take him over his target. …ellgreatmanchesterrun2025.enthuse.com/pf/tom-earps?u…

Had an update visit, yesterday, to the Rob Burrow MND Care Centre at Leeds Seacroft Hospital. It is simply Amazing and will be open to patients very soon. Absolutely World Class facility. Thank you everyone for fundraising 🙏🙏

@NiallHarbison preordered ❤️ looking forward to seeing you on the 14th May! you do such amazing work ❤️

You can pre-order the book here around the world on this link. It will be delivered in 20 days on the 6th May... lnk.to/TinaTheDogWhoC… Every single penny I make goes to helping Tina's hospital 🥰🙏

Not everybody who follows me will know Tina but those who do know just how special she was. A one of a kind. That hammock shot is Tina with about 30 minutes left to live as we listened to this song. We were both so happy and even though she was still alive I think after a life of neglect and abuse Tina was already in heaven. For me this is more than a book. It’s been 18 months of extreme effort to get her hospital up and running, over 60,000 dogs sterilized since she passed and endless dogs saved. I have to be truly honest and say I’m close to breaking point in terms of exhaustion and the mental effort that has gone in. After this book comes out in 20 days and I do about 3 weeks of promotion for it in UK / Ireland and USA I need to take a little rest to think about Tina and how far we’ve come in shaping her legacy to help other dogs. A pre-order would mean the absolute world. Somehow i dream of getting it to number one in the charts and looking up at her big face in an airport stand somewhere around the world. I still miss her but I talk to her every day. She’d be too modest to think a book is about her but i think she’d love it. 💛🎾 (1/2)
