Back to the coalface.
#Newcastle bound (Gateshead crawl tonight).
Had this #fredperry workhorse for about 30 years now, still going strong.

Result!
Worth a follow I think

That’s a follow from me

Been to the Thirsty Duck at Burscough Wharf this evening. Sensational selection of continental beers.

Off to see Dave Rowntree of #blur in Hindley, #Wigan
Thanks to the efforts of #theearlydoorsclub

Call from Patrick “are you watching this?”
✅1st half 5 goals
✅ Neuer playing like his water bottle has been spiked
✅ goals & red cards in the dying embers before potential extra time
✅ GenZ dressed Kompany

Me “No, I’m at the Allotment AGM”

#UCL rejig 🔥👌

Last one washed down with a Cortado.
Fingers crossed H does another batch.

Turns out you still can be a Christian (Church of Rome in my case) and celebrate Easter without turning it into un-subtle right wing propaganda rhetoric.
As HE preached and practiced, peace by with you.

We took on a fresh plot on 01/04
Plenty to do, after a good tidy and weed it’ll start to look more like it.
Red cabbages just gone in. 🥬🌱🥦

Another tough day with the vet.
Resting in the back room, no telly, just tunes and snooze.

It’s our #allotment associations 1st Spring Show this weekend coming.
H road testing a lemon drizzle and a mixed Italian herbs loaf for the domestic category.

Without scrutiny, they’ll continue to lie through their teeth and simply shrug it off when it’s made abundantly clear.
They’re charlatans and sadly folk aren’t just falling for it, they’re lapping it up.

Not had the pleasure in our section of the 6.
Can’t wait for the locals, our top window can be seen from Gathurst Station as you head up the lane.
It’s going to boil some piss when it’s decorated in red.

It looks like a sunny & dry day ahead for the match here in #Wigan but I’ve still given my Ensign 👟 #NormanWalshUK a good spray of waterproofing.

Dear darling fascist bully boy, fuck right off.

He’s been to see the friendly vet, at 17 he’s got plenty going on BUT he gets to see another day.
Still got some spirit in him that’s for sure.

An article “More than one million foreign nationals are receiving benefits” (March 17, 2025) referred to the number of “foreign nationals” receiving benefits, and gave the rate of benefit claims for various nationalities. In fact, the particular DWP data on which the article was based recorded the nationality of claimants when registering for a National Insurance number, rather than the nationality at the time they were claiming benefits, so that some claimants might have since acquired UK citizenship, and would not be foreign nationals at the time they were claiming benefits. This correction has been published following an upheld ruling by the Independent Press Standards Organisation. Advertisement

Fully *one year later*, the Telegraph has been forced (by @ipso.co.uk) to admit that it was lying about foreign nationals claiming benefits.

Tickets were a November birthday treat. Been well worth the wait.
Had a great evening at the Lowry watching @zaltzcricket.bsky.social

John Fisher (86/91) old boys at Wigan Beer Festival last night.

Rarely bother watching live Prem games on telly, this Newc v Man U game, the commentators have spent more time giving out score updates on other games and confirming last nights results.
Is it an editorial/production decision to do so and spoil #motd highlights?
There’s no need!

Someone’s not feeling very sociable tonight 🐶🫣

As a Wiganer, I have first hand experience of how austerity and the abandonment by Westminster & the red wall has played out.
But I never anticipated such crushing levels of poverty or self destruction as this. #skol #wafc

Billy the Fish scenes in the Gosforth Hotel bar. #viz

Popped into #ludlowbrewery for dinner time pints and bacon butties.
You might just see Fudge on the scrounge. Might be blind and deaf but that nose is still pretty good.
