30 years ago today, John Smith MP, Britain's Prime Minister in-waiting, passed away.
One of Parliament's finest ever orators, he cut his teeth, like many of Scotland’s politicians, on the floor of the Glasgow University Union's Debating Chamber, winning the Observer Mace in 1962
Favourite Speccy games...
Star Wars, 1987
A surprisingly late title on the Speccy given ROTJ had been in the cinema 4 years earlier, but to take on Tie Fighters & fly the trench run on the Death Star was incredible - really good vector gfx on the Speccy #zxspectrum#retrogaming
@shadreNcs@AndyBurnhamGM@BeeNetwork Over 3 decades of public transport systems in place @shadreNcs ,you would have thought,they would get it right by now,but no,it's even worse now than it was in the 1980s 😳🤔
@WC2512@AndyBurnhamGM @FirstManchester @BeeNetwork It doesn't surprise me regarding no show buses or late ones,under @AndyBurnhamGM who promised so much,but failed to deliver on public transport,yet he expects to be relected for a third term this coming Mayor elections?🤔

@WC2512@AndyBurnhamGM @FirstManchester @BeeNetwork The @BeeNetwork isn't fit for purpose in my view,so much for all these promises about reliability and being on time and more regular,so far it has materalise in my view 🤔
@keiran_okeeffe @AnthonyBulloug3@AndyBurnhamGM@BeeNetwork Is it just the 2.6% of buses not operating at all that concern you there ‘pal’ not the punctuality issues? Get a grip

This is @AndyBurnhamGM's 'World Class Transport System' tonight..
The 1914 83 was a no show. No sign of an 84. Now the 1930 83 shows up and look at the queue!
It was never this bad with @FirstManchester last week or previous months/years.
@BeeNetwork!
@AndyBurnhamGM@BeeNetwork What will those vague improvements be? I very much doubt there will be a single change to my local service which under the bee network is never on time and always over crowded due to the tiny buses and punctuality issues?
@AndyBurnhamGM The @BeeNetwork where I live,isn't practical and hasn't got any better since it was rolled out in 2023,quite often they come at irregular intervals or not at all @shadreNcs so I can say it isn't fit for purpose 🤔
@keiran_okeeffe @AnthonyBulloug3@AndyBurnhamGM@BeeNetwork If you think there’s any excuse for this level of service then you need serious help, this is an absolute disgrace
@BeeNetwork As being a bus passenger for over 30 years,I have to say the bus service has been very unrealiable and not fit for purpose since you rolled it out last year,and I am not the only bus passenger to say this 😑 😒 @shadreNcs@AndyBurnhamGM
