This is out now. I couldn't be more thrilled; part retrospective, part new songs, but they all fit the title.
I really need this to fly, and I think it deserves to. Please share and support if you can.

It's desperate Matt, not sustainable. We played some nice stuff 2nd half, but cocked it up almost every time.
This year is about not finishing last!

Everyone celebrating Trump not winning should take stock and realise how far down the hell hole we really are.

Someone made a lot of money through insider trading. On the international betting site Polymarket, the eventual winner of the Nobel Peace Prize Maria Corina Machado went from rank outsider to 70% favourite in the early hours of Friday before the award was announced.

For a long time, the US extreme right was held back from ruthlessly pursuing its goals by the notion that "someone" would stop them & punish them.

Trump 1 taught them nobody would stop them, & Biden taught them nobody would punish them.

And here we are.

Can you think of a single movie in which there is a video from the government denouncing its political opponents playing on a loop in public spaces in which that government was the good guy?

A new Noem video is being played at airports trashing Democrats.

Young lad came into the local bar earlier. He'd got his Almería shirt on and a scarf, so he'd obviously been to the match.
Instant connection, just reminded me of my boys and my younger self.
Universal language of football, and a lovely moment.

Quelle surprise!

As ever, just follow the money.
Getting to hate on trans people is a pleasing corollary for the reactionary right-wingers who run the fossil fuel empires. The aim is to divert attention from their ongoing role in climate change.

Fossil fuel billionaires are bankrolling the anti-trans movement

An investigation shared exclusively with Atmos and HEATED finds that 80% of anti-trans organizations receive fossil fuel funding.

This could get very messy. Glos are all over the place!

I had no idea! As you say, awareness is absolutely better!
The injury list is a bit ridiculous at the moment.
Could be a wild ride at The Rec!!

Finally, sensible politics.

Being from Birmingham, they loomed large in my early life. Their style was so different to most other bands I knew too.
As you say, John made his mark. RIP.

Way back, I had a brief foray into online dating. My profile said "you should be more of a Tiswas than a Swap Shop person".
It's a maxim I still apply. 😁

I'd have gone "Baker Street", but in hindsight, "Careless Whisper" is a much better solo choice.
I'm in Madrid next week, I'll look out for him. 😁

Emma Gee Flowers Music ☘️ @emmagee.bsky.social · 1d

He's not looking very happy about it. 😁

Emma Gee Flowers Music ☘️ @emmagee.bsky.social · 1d

Brilliant, thanks. It's a Paul Reed Smith (PRS) Tonare, all mahogany.
Lovely guitar (in the right hands of course).

Emma Gee Flowers Music ☘️ @emmagee.bsky.social · 1d

It's a brilliant hat idea though.

I love this little montage. I have a great friend who lives in Keynsham, and I'm always thinking of ways to invite myself there!

I know. I really don't like our no filter society anymore.

Emma Gee Flowers Music ☘️ @emmagee.bsky.social · 1d

It should be easy really - but we are dealing with some seriously stupid people.

Really? Why am I surprised though?
