“Tommy Robinson flees UK claiming he's 'a priority target for ISIS'”.

1. He is not that important
2. Stop spreading division
3. Why do all bigots become what they despise? They don’t think Black or brown people should flee to here, but they want to go wherever

In 24 of our 25 years, we’ve never bothered with Valentines Day. We sort of thought we had to for our 1st, so cards exchanged and an hour in the pub occurred. That’s that

Finally been the GP for a foot problem I’d long ago self-diagnosed as gout. It is gout. Dr has prescribed medication and issued advice on reduced alcohol and eating less meat. To which I was thinking ‘shut your dirty mouth and give me the tablets’. I absolutely am going to die early

Right, down tools, take the lift up from the pit, clock out, log off. It’s ’fuck ‘em o’clock’, as a former workmate of mine used to say.

Happy Friday all!!! 🎉🥳🎉🥳

A fabulous thread
It’s February. And, every day this month, to help catapult myself towards the optimism of Spring I’m going to share a daily clip of something that makes me laugh.

Age verification?

I used to ring the phone box on our street and ask whoever answered if they’d go and get my mum from number 7 AND THEY WOULD

I used to play role playing games by POST.

Ah, 9 February. The 358th anniversary of Samuel Pepys reading a dirty book, and explaining to his diary that it’s all right for a gentleman to read something like that, but not for, you know, those common people with their filthy minds 🧵

Spent the day doing a murder mystery puzzle thing round the landmarks of Edinburgh. Solving clues as we went with ‘pitstops’ between. The ratio tipped more towards ’pitstops’ than solving clues as the day progressed and we’re now fucking hammered. Huzzah!!!

What "core British values" has "the left" not defended? Can someone ask this sentient fucking saucepan what he means?
Keir Starmer attacks the racism of Reform and Matt Goodwin but then adds that "Britain has also been let down by a mindset on the left of politics that is too slow to defend core British values"

In a pub in Blackburn, 25 yrs ago on Monday just gone, I asked a work colleague to go out with me. She said no and ran out the pub (🙃). 2 days later (25 yrs ago today), she asked a mate to knock on my door and pass me her number. We arranged to meet that night.

Happy 25th anniversary Mrs G ❤️

Day drinking tomorrow with former colleagues, who I haven’t seen since I left that place 6 months ago. Can’t bloody wait
