Storing Winter Garments The clothes are clean and ready. 🐥 "I got the position!" Elara exclaimed, dashing over to him and wrapping her arms around his neck. "Clara gave it to me right there! I begin next week! I'll be working as a graphic designer at the art gallery!"

Crown Posada, Newcastle 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 4th visit. Quiet Sunday early evening. A good example of a city institution that hasn't rested on its laurels. A good beer selection on cask, keg and in the fridge. Both traditional and yet in shape and design utterly singular. 👍🍻

Hello again a chairde Gael - we have come number 2 in the British Charts.

We've been pipped at the post by someone called Michael Jackson....

This is the highest ever Irish language chart position there. 💚🤍🧡

Fine Art came in at 43 two years ago, some jump for FENIAN and we appreciate all the kind words and reviews.

Massive thanks to everyone for the support we sold a massive number of records/cds/tapes all across the lands.

We have decided to give all our earnings from these sales away to three organisations; The Palestine Solidarity Campaign in London and Glór na Móna & Cultúrlann McAdam Ó Fiaich in Belfast.

Special thanks to Dan Carey & Jeff Barrett and all at Heavenly ❤️

See you all in Belfast at the end of the month for AVA and London in June (Crystal Palace).

Fuck Kier Starmer!

Free Palestine 🇵🇸
Free the 6 counties 🇮🇪

WOOHOOOO!!!!! One of the best days of the year is upon us. The 8th May is very special every year for it is the average return date for swifts ! Also, 100 years ago today, as the swifts returned, Sir David #Attenborough was born. What a day!!! Have you seen any swifts yet?

Remember and use this special ballot box if your thinking of voting for Reform UK on Thursday 👍

@TycjanC Great to see them back. Though I saw plenty in Malgrat le Mar a few weeks ago straight in front of my hotel balcony.

First #swift of the year just flew over my garden. Easington Village. Here's hoping for many more.

Men will watch this video of German riot police stuck in the mud at a coal mine protest and suddenly get the battle of Agincourt.

9 days ago #NetworkRail agreed to removing the mortar to unblock the swifts nesting sites. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE YET meanwhile swifts are returning home earlier than normal. 📧email CEO Jeremy Westlake asking him to unblock them: [email protected] #SaveOurSwifts

Absolute disgrace @networkrail should be prosecuted. The ‘heartbreaking’ race to save Britain’s swifts from Network Rail https://t.co/GnrstcyGRG

British comedians mock President Trump's Easter message on #HIGNFY

Chris McCausland, "Has there ever been a bigger u-turn than we're going to liberate the people of Iran from an oppressive regime, to, we're going to obliterate an entire civilisation"

Ian Hislop, "On Easter day Trump compared himself to Jesus, and then let other people suggest he was the messiah"

Chris McCausland, "How did he compare himself to Jesus?"

Paul Merton, "Similar height"

Ian Hislop, "Trump said they call Jesus a king, they call me a king. Well that's a nice Easter message"

Paul Merton, "Perhaps we can keep the parallel going and crucify him"

First Swallow of the year. Well there were quite a few, with Sand Martins, over Brown Moss, near Whitchurch, North Shropshire. @MarburyBirds @CornerForNature

Swifts spark joy….. thrilled that swifts have more airtime in #TheGuardian this week as they start their return journeys HOME. https://t.co/iUMT0Ze1VY
