Looking for new things to do this year. There's this from @carltonreid.com's boy* Josh that just caught my eye: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4om0... 🤔 A Tyneside Dawn Patrol taking in the city centre and the Tyne Tunnel would be pretty awesome!

Don't you hate it when fighting age men flee their own country, leaving their families behind, then expect other people to give them a handout.

@trudieskies.readindiefantasy.com Remember the t-shirt from the m+m shop in London?
