@mickeyundertone.bsky.social Lovely version of Come back my love by Darts in my youth. Was it their debut single? Great show in Oxford New Theatre in 1978! Saw an up and coming Derry band there the year after, as it happens....
I just signed the petition urging the Government to invest in research to help those suffering from Long Covid. Will you sign too? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/in...
@theguardian.com isn't it a bit supine, to have the Trump fact checking piece on theguardian/uk homepage but not publish it in the USA - at least, not prominently?
youtu.be/fDxzQJaA228?... When I #popmyclogs i hope someone plays this at my wake ๐ 2 immense talents, with an all-time classic performance. Look at the screen for some other monumental pairings - who do you see?

@joplatt.bsky.social a modest suggestion:
Here's an idea: get GP Practices to nominate one Dr to take an interest in the condition. In my GP's there's several with interests in gyn/obs, geriatrics, dermatology, hypertension, the list is long. Not one takes an interest in our condition :(

This is what most uk voters haven't yet grasped: for as long as EU accession remains rescindable by simple vote in Parliament and not a constitutional settlement, the EU cannot trust that another Brexit may follow the next Rejoining. Fair Votes will ensure that a) constitutional referendums need
Couldn't agree more. Reform of national media ownership & Leveson2 would be my top priority. Then an elected 2nd chamber. Like it or not, only realistic path back to the EU is via PR. Only way to demonstrate a political consensus. Without media Reform & elected 2nd chamber there'll be no PR.

Petition: Run a public information campaign on the climate crisis Communicate clearly: 1) the science behind the climate crisis. 2) the implications of going beyond this and what needs to be done to address it globally, nationally, locally and individually.
@6music.bsky.social even the Beccipedia on Guy Garvey's finest hour can't settle on the pronunciation of Ireland. It's goddam annoying when the letter R is glided over to make it island. Cop on you lot!
@corale.bsky.social hi coralee Could you clarify what the #noIrishunder1K means? Wouldn't the aim of growing a network be better achieved by the opposite - #OnlyIrishUnder1K...? I think I don't get it
