Oh…Here we go…@miketyl.bsky.social has rediscovered #TheSimpsons. What an early evening treat. @noiseresearch.bsky.social

Don’t know if it still runs, but Eddyline (Eddy’s an Eisen fan) used to run a relaxing 4 hour boat trip from Central Berlin to Koepenik for FC Union Berlin (Eisern Union) home games. A plane delay once meant we missed it by 15 mins. @spiral-tat.bsky.social was very annoyed.

Some pictures from last night's Focus gig at the Stoller Hall in Manchester. First time I've seen them despite being a fan since 1974. They were brilliant and you could tell they were really enjoying themselves! #focus #manchester #gigs #progressiverock

Saw Focus with @miketyl.bsky.social & @noiseresearch.bsky.social at Stoller Hall last night. Brilliant performance from, originals, Thijs van Leer & Pierre van der Linden.The guitarist Menno Gootjes and 6-string bassist Udo Pannekeet were outstanding too. #Focus -Hocus Pocus- 🎼🎹🪈🥁🎸

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but if you are having an extended text message conversation with someone while you are sitting on a crowded train, you DO NOT NEED YOUR PHONE TO GO PING EVERY TIME THEY REPLY.

A peaceful world starts with how we treat the most vulnerable.

Nighty night pals, I loves me cuddly lobster you knows 🐱🐾 #nightnight #cats
