Shows you're loved. And cared for. And know lovely people! Who own cars!! Omg. Nice car owners can be so helpful.
Cute is as cute does. It's eternal with the right heart behind it. You've got it in Spades. Bridge reference I've never understood. I'm a bit concerned though about how many of your pals need to be redacted over such a long period. Do I need to inform the MET?

Hopefully I'm going to see him next Friday in Glasgow. Treatment dependent. I can buy life as poetry. And dance. Thanks for sharing.
Great photo.
Love the fact you are up to mischief, but you have such a great, innocent, butter wouldn't melt face.
Great photo.
Angeline from Parson's Green, grows her own potatoes. Dropped lines from the beginning of Moses Supposes.
Nonsense. I believe the phrase is, this is the content I'm here for. Can't wait for the photos of you as an academy award. Roll on June.
Damn auto correct. Neebs!!!
Needs. π
Blimey! π₯
18 working in a local pub in Fife. 2 Glaswegians during the holidays at the bar realise they know a guy in common. Him? Aw what a fantastic cunt. Really decent cunt. One of the nicest cunts I ever met. Just a pronoun. And a Tom Leonard poem. It's an ill wind that blaws nae cunt fuck all good.
Yup. At his best on the pitch it was absolute poetry. Anyway. I must pop off cos I've just put on Bad Day at Black Rock. Forget how good it is from minute one. Spencer superb. Lee Marvin superb and hell of a specimen. And Robert Ryan's trousers are too short. Hope you're feeling less blue V.
Cor. As a younger man obviously. And the talent. Pretty sure there was a tv programme early 70s where he taught us youngsters how to play. Didn't work with me.
Meant to say earlier that there were a lot of girls at school who liked Paul Nicholas. Blonde and smiley. Suddenly occurs, no footballer crushes V? Alan Rix? Liam Brady?
Oh sorry but that made me chuckle out loud.
Not quite sure what to make of the assistant. Kind, helpful, honest? Deeply insulting and thoughtless? Excellent line either way.
#OtD 24 Feb 1909 anarchist Ethel Macdonald was born in Motherwell, Scotland. Her exploits during the Spanish Revolution caused the British press to dub her the Scots Scarlet Pimpernel stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9642...
Sorry to hear this. That photo is lovely. Bags of personality.
Nothing strange about David Essex. Gorgeous. Those eyelashes. Mate had his poster up when a teen. She became quite prominent in her work. Was being interviewed on Radio 4 in a studio with a window. Mid serious point, David walked past and winked at her. She totally lost the plot. Blushed. Stammered.

@ande91.bsky.social the other window in lovely Flux, Leith.
Music! Music!! Good grief. Rachmaninov's 2nd. I start to well up BEFORE the finale begins. Why? How does he do that? Then I actually cry. Every single time. Yes I'm a soppy date who greets just thinking about scenes from movies, but it's still astonishing.
Ah. This is why today is Twin Peaks day.
Photo of Jocelyn Bell Burnell in front of a radio telescope dish in the 1960s. She is a white woman with dark hair.
#OnThisDay, 24 Feb 1968, Jocelyn Bell Burnell - along with her male supervisor and three other men - published a paper confirming the discovery of pulsars. She had built the array, picked up the signal and argued it was not an anomaly.
