Many years ago I shared a bill with PP, with her as the headline act

She was an anti-diva, made sure to come and talk to us all and was genuine, funny, and a total delight to work with

Nothing but respect for her

Possibly my favourite series of photos I have ever taken at a gig were of Gail with Belly at Shepherd's Bush Empire in 2018

Jane Goodall had branched out in ways I never expected! 😲

Rob Telford @robtelford.bsky.social · 7d

I promised I would get to another gig soon when we met at Martin Newell, and I *would* have seen you at my local venue, The Sound Lounge, except annoyingly I was on holiday in Paris 😄😲

Anyhow, looking forward to this one, The Betsey is always great

There were 63 mass shootings in the United States during the month of July, 2025 (when this happened). The "potentially operable" guns were described as "display stands." apnews.com/article/kash...

FBI boss Kash Patel gave New Zealand officials 3D-printed guns illegal to possess under local laws

On a visit to New Zealand, FBI Director Kash Patel gave the country’s police and spy bosses gifts of inoperable pistols that were illegal to possess under local gun laws and had to be destroyed.

I was working in the area from 2003 to 2014 and certainly St George's Wharf sign looked like it does now by then

The redevelopment work along Shad Thames was done in the mid-late 80s (New Concordia Wharf across St Saviour's Dock was the first IIRC)

I'd expect the redrafted signage to date from then, which makes it fairly unlikely to be a keyboard typo

LPA (@thelondonarchives.bsky.social) demonstrates that the b&w panels with wharf names were there in the early 1970s before development money arrived, tho' the letter forms are not the same
