Hello, we're back to spread the news
And see what's happening
And get some views.
So keep checking in
And ask what you want
Because when it comes to quality and service
We're right at the front

February 2nd,
A day that inspired a hit.
In the cinema we all watched GROUNDHOG DAY
For today it really is it.

On this day in history
Back 1547
Good King Harry did depart
And possibly to Heaven

History says many things of him
Some nice, some quite obscene
A dodgy bloke to have around
Especially if your job title was "Queen".

Back in 1793
It was all kicking off in France
Louis the 16th was in bother
& the peasants were not taking a chance

He was tried & convicted by the people
And the court their sentence read
Didn't end well for Louis
He was taken, and so was his head.

@LynnBaines2 has Tweeted
A mention of the East Lancs Road
A highway taking us there and back
And a story to be told

It was King George 5th who opened it
Back in July 1934
The same day he opened the Queensway tunnel
But did he open it after or before?

[BottleGlassRainford @BottleGlassRfrd]

You won't believe what today is
It has been since 1972
It is NATIONAL NOTHING DAY
Amazing and silly but true.

You see everyday is something or other day
But January 16th had none
So a chap came up with the idea
And now it's a day when nothing gets done

@hun_rob has done a job,
He's been and become a donor.
His convalescent plasma
Will soon be on its way to a new "owner".

He's just one of many to be thanked
Thinking of others after a bout of the virus
Like so many people in these times
Doing acts that truly inspire us.

Prison time for Johnny Cash
On this day in 1968
But not for anything naughty,
He was invited by the state.

FOLSOM PRISON BLUES
Was the song he chose to start
Many great songs followed
Including FLUSHED FROM THE BATHROOM OF YOUR HEART

We shall go back to 1913
To check out today's birthday chap.
He brought gossip, scandal and criminality
& almost let the others take the rap.
So who is it that today we celebrate?
Well why don't we take a look?
It's Richard Nixon the ex-president.
The man who said "I'm no crook".

January 8th is a day on which many were born
And some of them are not fun
1984 saw the birth of "Rocket man"
The one and only Kim Jong-Un
But if we go even further back
A chap who brilliance kept us all talking
This day in 1942
Saw the birth of Stephen Hawking.

[BottleGlassRainford @BottleGlassRfrd]

Today in 1994
Rivalry went a bit far.
Some friends of Tonya Harding
Went & hit Nancy Kerrigan with a bar.
There was fuss & outrage & menace
And the sport lost a bit of its glamour
Was there really any need to do that
To help Tonya win a medal in Lillehammer?

[BottleGlassRainford @BottleGlassRfrd]

We've not gone away
Although it does seem so far
Until the wonderful folks and friends
Can once again order from our bar

Hands face space
& a vaccination to rid us of this evil
So when invited pop along to your GP
And see it's just a little prick with a needle

[BottleGlassRainford @BottleGlassRfrd]

It's a special anniversary today
A wedding one we're told
But the celebrations didn't go on too long
As the story does unfold

Henry 8 and Jane Seymour
In 1536 the couple did get wed
He'd already sacked the first wife
And the 2nd...well she'd lost her head.

[BottleGlassRainford @BottleGlassRfrd]

Polling day across the land
Your choice, if you're heading to vote
Make sure you check the weather 1st
You'll need a brolly & a coat

Part of a great tradition
One to be proud of in this nation
You can also put the dog on their lead
And let them take you to the polling station

[BottleGlassRainford @BottleGlassRfrd]

Well good day to you all
It's been a long since we spoke
It passes so quick
And April disappeared at a stroke

So what can May promise us
To keep us happy with our ways
Well there's sport a plenty as usual
And a couple of Bank Holidays.

[BottleGlassRainford @BottleGlassRfrd]

We're a week into April now,
% finally we get some sun.
So let's see what's on and around
& get out to enjoy the fun.

Well it's the last day of the circus
That's over in Sherdley Park
The clowns and acrobats and folks in top hats
Have clearly left their mark

#chipperfieldcircus

[BottleGlassRainford @BottleGlassRfrd]

So suddenly it's April
Lots of events to come
It's the Grand National on the 14th
& the 22nd for the London Marathon

It's Bowel Cancer Awareness Month
& from St Helens, lots to tell
Eg the same day as the Grand National
It's the @stevienimmo Trio at the Citadel.

[BottleGlassRainford @BottleGlassRfrd]

I'm still not fully recovered
Someone stole an hour from my clock
But I'll let it pass for now
To celebrate the birthday of Mr Spock

That's right, the one with pointy ears
Illogical as he thought it may seem
Leonard Nimoy was born today in 1931
A vital part of the #StarTrek team
