There has been so much praise heaped upon this story about the history and legacy of Coreff by @anahlcq.bsky.social and you know what? It's fully deserving of it all, and more. Have a read with your morning coffee: www.pelliclemag.com/home/2024/1/...

Pinched from the i paper

So Harry Maguire gets caught doing 85MPH in a 50MPH zone and gets a 56 day ban! Anybody else would likely get a 12 month ban! It’s not what you know!

Such a shame

So we need money to pay the WASPI Bill and the Winter Fuel? Stop paying the Sovereign Grant to the Royals. They have enough funds to last years without the UK people giving them anything at all. @elonmusk-joinx.bsky.social likes interfering in other nations sovereignty get him to cough up

Why are the media saying the deadline for claiming Pension Credit has passed! Only passed if you wanted to claim winter fuel allowance for this winter! People can still claim Pension Credit! @teamlabouruk.bsky.social

Reminder that this image is real. From a million miles away, NASA captured Moon crossing face of Earth.

Today is the Winter Solstice, soon be summer!

This is my hot water bottle “old school” and extremely effective - toasty!

The Kings coronation cost the tax payer £72million! Why the hell couldn’t he pay for it himself! All the money he has made from the NHS etc for parking “services”! Never mind anything else. The Royal family are a sponge on the country.

An afternoon out to Wigan Central where the sun is shining!

It’s snowing in Costa Del Salford!

Guess it must be Christmas? Pity the beer is not as good as the decorations!
