This is a magnificent thread,like the old days on Tw*tter,do take a look.

@noscoredraws.com my son thoroughly enjoyed receiving the AFC Bournemouth mugs from you,(from me obvs.)He particularly liked the depiction of Evanilson (nightmare time !)

Just re-upping this so that yesterday's unpleasantness isn't at the top of our page. Literally 100+ people on here were unbearably nice to us yesterday, it honestly means so much. And some of you maniacs even bought a wall chart to sully your actual homes and workplaces. LOVE YOU. Thanks so much xxx

Always a pleasure to work with indie booksellers, and Simon at Big Green Books is one of the best.

FORE! A Russian businessman looked at buying a Lake District golf course that sits next to the rail line serving the UK's shipyard where the nuclear-power Aukus attacks submarines will be built. Then the FT started asking questions... www.ft.com/content/19a3...

A trip down memory lane with this one - so long ago I barely remember it. I do know it’s a linocut of a tube station, although I can’t quite place which one, and I’m drawing a bit of a blank on the title too. Must be getting old… #linocut #londonart

Do you wish to read a parable about how the far right weaponises rural politics and a faux desire to protect the aesthetics of the countryside? Here is another incredibly necessary piece from @jon-moses.bsky.social :

It is a sunny #SaturdayMorning here in our part of the world so I'm very thankful for that. As is my wont each week, here's our traditional start to the day & week-end: "Interior" by Brynhild Parker from 1930: it just seems to fit the moment! #BrynhildParker #EastLondonGroup

they got the Church of England supporting the Pope now

Yay,finally got to use it 👍

If you return unwanted Reform local election leaflets to their party headquarters using their free post address, then it will cost the party £2.50 per envelope. Please don’t share this information; it could cost Nigel Farage a fortune.

For those tyre enthusiasts out there - and I’m sure there are many of you - today, in 1923, Firestone started producing balloon-tyres for cars. Which leads neatly on to my linocut of some cars, sadly lacking, as I am, in any artwork that includes bunnies, lambs or eggs. Happy Easter everyone! 🐣

Celebrities of Scotland: Hercules the Bear at the Loch Lomond Bear Park Festival with Pete Shelley of Buzzcocks, Lee Brilleaux of Dr Feelgood and The Stranglers' Hugh Cornwell. (1979)

Incredible substance here from @chrischirp.bsky.social. The 2nd wave of COVID-19 in the UK was a) devastating and b) avoidable. Take time to play the clip of Prof Kevin Fong who breaks down when describing the scale of death and its impact on ICU staff. christinapagel.substack.com/p/the-uk-cov...

'New Day Dawning' by UK printmaker Gail Brodholt #WomensArt

Might as well post this

Moira would like to point out that she is NOT a sex addict. (And GO MOIRA!)

I’ll buy some one a copy of Jon’s book.

I have TWO more wonderful offers on today's #buyastrangerabook day. @jonnelledge.bsky.social will buy one copy each of Borderlines by Lewis Baston and This Way Up by the Map Men for me to give away. I've added blurb to the pics. If you'd like either of these, just get in touch. UK only.

Happy Seventh Birthday to Nigel Slater not being a fucking travel agent.

Tell me something – a small thing – you really really love. Mine is this quote from an interview with Mackenzie Crook about his writing shed: “It’s not a ‘man cave’, there’s no calendar of saucy ladies or beer cooler (although I do have a fridge where my tortoises hibernate in the colder months).”

Just a brief reminder for any of you who might be interested: we still have some copies of "From Bow To Biennale" for sale at a reduced price of £20 + P&P at £4.50, whilst stocks last here:- eastlondongroup.co.uk/books/p/from... If you haven't already got a copy....... now's the time to buy!!

I would happily pay more council tax if my council replied to imbeciles in this way.

Thanks for taking part in this week's #OnlineArtExchange 💫 We're back next week with the theme 'renewal' for Ashes to Fashion at Ulster Museum#OnlineArtExchange 'The Cathedral Rocks' by Samuel John Peploe (1871–1935) 📷 Fife Cultural Trust, on behalf of Fife Council

ALSO - if you missed out on your childhood measles vaccine and haven't had measles, you can get *free* MMR vaccination from your GP! (whether as an older child, teenager or adult). I got my MMR about 10 years ago! www.nhs.uk/vaccinations...

Today would have been Brynhild Parker's birthday as she was born on 10th February 1907. Attached herewith are her paintings of "Saloon Bar(1931)": "Appledore(1932)": "Islington Street Scene(1935)" & "Windy Day on Marine Parade, Southend(1930)"ex the collection at the Beecroft Gallery, Southend #botd

This should be wonderful.

This is "Sunday Morning, Farringdon Road" by Cecil Osborne from 1929. It is in the collection @BrightonMuseums where it is currently on display. Cecil lived almost opposite Corporation Buildings (the subject of the painting) & this was the view from his window. #SundayMorning #EastLondonGroup

How very true.

Today would have been Harold Steggles' 115th birthday as he was born on 8th February 1911. Very sadly, he died, tragically young, of leukaemia, aged just 60 on 13th October 1971. I have attached a few examples of his work along with a lovely photo of him. #HaroldSteggles #botd #EastLondonGroup

Another #SaturdayMorning has arrived &, as many of you will know, we start each week-end with this painting because it has always seemed to me to fit the remit so well! This is "Interior" by Brynhild Parker from 1930. #BrynhildParker #EastLondonGroup

Get in touch with lovely Simon and give him a follow if you're not already. FREE BOOKS! NO STRINGS!! Honestly!!!

It's #February! Endless January is done, and Spring is, maybe, just around the corner! It's also #StBrigidsday, and here she is by the Irish master, Harry Clarke, in Castletownsend, #Ireland, with St Brigid's fire and an oak sprig from the tree where she founded her church in Kildare.

It is the first #SundayMorning of February already: my mind is in a spin: where does the time go?! Here's our "usual" start to the day: "Sunday Morning, Farringdon Road" by Cecil Osborne from 1929. It is in the collection at Brighton & Hove Museums where it is currently on display. #CecilOsborne

Guess the next defection to Reform www.salisburyjournal.co.uk/news/2579537...

I too have seen Segovia Julian Bream And Don Mclean Herman’s Hermits The Proclaimers (Not in that order )

Gie fools their silks, and knaves their wine; A Man’s a Man for a’ that: For a’ that, and a’ that, Their tinsel show, an’ a’ that; The honest man, tho’ e’er sae poor, Is king o’ men for a’ that. --- Robert Burns #BurnsNight
