Finally deleted Shitter from my phone.
Will log in via tin can and string every Preston Guild.

@EadeDebbie I like New Year’s Eve apart from singing Auld Lang Syne.

@WriterHannahBT A massive mixed flock of fieldfares and redwings, wondering why the winter weather is broken.

@_AndyHemming @elonmusk Yep.

Today is probably it for me on the old Twitter. I will miss it and all of you, but the picture sums up the last straw.
@elonmusk if your plan was to shoo away people with moderate polite opinions then well played sir, well played.

@katie_jr Keep going Katie. You’re an inspiration. See you on the other side. 2024 and BlueSky

All being well, this is my last New Year’s Eve in the U.K. after returning 5 years ago when my dad was diagnosed with cancer. That rolled into mum’s diagnosis and 5 very difficult years all said.
As an Irishman who was brought up in the U.K. I’m hugely fond of the British. There’s nobody funnier anywhere, and I think deep down it’s a compassionate and caring nation. That said, returning here after many years abroad, I found I’d come back to a totally different country. I was fortunate enough to miss the entire Brexit debate but let me tell you it’s created a huge chasm between people who ordinarily rub along just fine, and having stepped away and then come back, it’s crept into everything and now millions of people are suddenly outraged on demand over something that was designed to do exactly that. Divide and rule, and at any cost.
The people who designed Brexit, and forced it through won’t be at all affected by the economic plummet, rising inflation, intolerable mortgage rates etc, and yet oddly I observe people cheering them on with an empty wallet and an empty bank account.
If I had one wish it’d be that when I next return to the U.K. that people would finally have gathered themselves to the extent that at least an honest debate can be had, and one without tropes, slogans, and the likes of Matthew Elliott and Dominic Cummings quite literally ruining the country with ostentatious falsehoods and jingoistic tripe. It’s actually heartbreaking to see a nation tearing itself apart clinging to this new footballification of politics where facts no longer matter a jot. I do fear for you guys and hope a path of repair can be found. You’re a really good bunch and you shouldn’t be at each other when you need to be united….
Anyway enough meanderings from me. Just to wish every single one of you regardless of your politics, views, colour, sexual preference, or pronouns a very happy and healthy New Year 2024. From me and Alfie. Love to all ☘️🐝 🥰

@osgamer74 It’s nothing to do with nerd culture. It certainly doesn’t feel like any game of D&D I’ve ever played in. Hugh Grant is just Lord Farquaad from Shrek. By half way through I was desperate for Chris Pine to get gutted by a orc.

It’s just not a good film. Really disappointing,

@katie_jr I’m mostly on StoryGraph now because Goodreads is Amazon.

@clownf1st I’m just off to the bog to experience it first hand.

@ZackAttackP1 The live set on Ummagumma is one of my favourite Pink Floyd records, the studio is patchy, but The Wall is all patchy. I’ve owned two copies and either both pressings have been slightly duff or the production is off.

@batcountry1980 You always felt that he was talking specifically to you. Loved it when he played records at the wrong speed.

The Daily Mail has started a campaign to get books banned in schools.

If you would rather see The Daily Mail banned from the UK, give this a RT.

Jeremy Hunt "I don’t think people at home are remotely interested in personal tax affairs."

Hunt is commenting about his own and Rishi Sunak's tax dodging.

I call him a Lying ****

If you are interested RT.

@AnnieChave As a fan, it’s like watching the director’s cut of the best film, in the best cinema, with the best audience.

As a player, it’s how I learn to be an actor on the biggest stage.

We’re only talking plans with Nigel.
