Hi John, you’re really planning to be in Irvine on 12th July for Tidelines?
Don’t forget your sash my friend…

Elon probably knew…
😕If Trump doesn’t know about a major incident involving his VP, Chief of Staff, NatSec Advisor, Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, Director of National Intelligence, and CIA Director, then who exactly is running the government?
That should have been the question by ALL reporters...

This must be the most Irvine thing ever. No wonder I enjoy reading the local paper online for headlines like this:
AN IRVINE man called police officers "Nazi dogs" and headbutted his own microwave.

I have just stopped at Hitchen en route to Cambridge via Letchworth… Why am I thinking about Chron Gen?

Shame there‘s no video… That would kick start anyone‘s weekend. I am hurtling towards Brussels by train to catch the Eurostar en route to Cambridge… 🚅❤️😀
We're playing Mack The Knife first thing on a Saturday morning. We're both singing along, while Penelope dances in the kitchen to Bobby's dulcet tones.
I'd like to see anyone kick the weekend off better than us.

All will be fine once Trump has invaded Panama and Greenland.
Christ these fires in LA look horrendous. Can't wait for Trump to wake up and say it's because they're not sweeping the forest floors properly or whatever fucking lunacy.

I am sure Niv will pay for any updates you need, given that some rich heiress wants to send him a fortune, if he divulged his account details…
Oh no. My Apple account requires updating. Fortunately someone else can do that for me, and all I have to do is give them my account details, including method of payment, and they'll sort it for me.
Just goes to show there are still decent folk around.
I don't have an Apple account.

John, you do know that whilst he may very well have impregnated someone, he is actually going to be the next French PM, after doing such a great job in the UK.
He will get Frexit done!

Oh god - he’s impregnated someone, hasn’t he?

But you know what Dave, it is exactly this that has shaped us as the kind of people we are. Everyone likes to feel important, but, “It’s not how big your share is, but how much you can share”… ❤️
We were very lucky with hindsight, weren’t we, Craig? Poor backgrounds but there were opportunities and encouragement to “get on”. It’s much harder now.

Hi Dave, can only agree 100%. I would never be working as an Archivist at a major European Institution without the possibility of a good free education and a bit of self belief on my part. Similar background, but if there is no opportunity then even those who can contribute get stuck.
This boy from a council estate is making polenta chips. WTF happened? I’ll tell you what: affordable housing, comprehensive education, free university, the NHS, in the 1960s/70s/80s. Everything the Tories tried to destroy while bleating empty slogans about “levelling up”, that’s what. And yes, some

I am not sure what is more beautiful, the Gretsch photo or this one 🤭
Post you from a different era. Twenty-six year old me not realising that this was as good as that face was going to get.
