@charlierad.bsky.social is spot on here. Thank you to @ecasalicchio.bsky.social and @politico.com for elevating our voices. We doff our caps to those of the greatest generation and hold them in their rightful sacrosanct position. However, let’s not forget our veterans of today.

Proud to represent Help For Heroes in their, ‘Send Hope To A Veteran’ Christmas campaign. Simply send a message of support, through H4H, and they’ll put it in a Christmas card for you. It’s that simple. Please help support those who might be struggling. Thank You. www.helpforheroes.org.uk

An experiment. Can you like this post if (and only if) you play and buy video games. Some people over on Twitter/X seem to think it's only game developers here. (reposts welcome to spread the word)

It’s been an enjoyable (but tiring) couple of days celebrating my first-born’s 16th birthday this weekend. Hugely proud of the young woman she’s grown in to with her kindness, enthusiasm, generosity and wicked sense of humour. Happy Birthday Evangeline xxx

That would be a cracking treat!

I word I intend to use more often. Thanks Aussies!

@claremulley.bsky.social Hope you’re feeling better this afternoon. Sounds rather dreadful over the last few days.

Colour me shocked, I tells ya. SHOCKED!!

The story of my life!! 🤣🤣 #chronicillness

VIP tickets booked for We Have Ways Fest V in Sept after such an incredible long w/e in July this year. It was scorching weather but plenty of great cider to quench thirst, whilst listening to great talks from people such as @claremulley.bsky.social James May and @almurray.bsky.social. Can’t wait!

I talked previously about issues with Veterans UK and their obfuscation, denials and failures with my case. I’m not the only one failed. This is the Independent Complaints Report about the handling of my complaint. It never came with security classification so, here it is! #VeteransUK #Veterans

I think she said the quiet part very much out loud. Dimmer than a 1 Watt bulb that’s switched off.

I’ve moved on to this incredible album by Pulp, purely because of my previous post! It’s tracks like ‘Acrylic Afternoons’ that, I believe, could only be made by a very English band. It’s sleazy, sexy and sultry. Brilliant live as well! open.spotify.com/track/5mJTv6...

Introduce yourself in 4 albums: #IntroduceYourself #MakeFriends #InteractOnBlueSky

Listening to another classic @thecure.com album whilst reading Wolf Hall. In need of relaxing as feeling a tad fed up with having a crappy body that doesn’t work! #chronicillness open.spotify.com/track/3nCgaA...

I think @larryandpaul.bsky.social pretty much sum up how I feel with the news currently.

In the yrs after medical discharge from the RAF, and yrs in and out of hospital, I began volunteering and taught myself how to do traditional coach painting. In 2011, I started a business doing this and had the chance to paint things like this! Fastest steam loco, Mallard, Flying Scotsman and an HST

Great to see @markgeminithwaite.bsky.social from MGT, Peter Murphy, The Mission and The Wonder Stuff here! Looking forward to seeing The Stuffies on tour in just a few weeks.

Morning all! I thought I’d use Sunday morning to talk about my challenges in accessing my disability pension from Veterans UK (Ministry Of Defence) after injury in service. The highlighting of unfairness in this system, the misapplication of rules by VUK and unnecessary suffering placed on veterans

Love Larry & Paul! Give them a follow

So, we’re supposed to post photos of our bookshelves and pets? I’ve already done the pets (this is 50% of the cat quota) and ‘some’ of the book collection. This is AFTER a large number were donated to Lytham Hall because I’d run out of space. Spy/Thriller/Crime/Historical Fiction/History and more!

@philipingrammbe.bsky.social Nice to find you on here Phil. Hoping to fight the good fight against Veterans UK here as well as other places. Hope you’re well.

Pet Shop Boys on Strictly!! Saw them on the Pandemonium Tour and thought it was one of the best stage set ups I’d ever seen. Incredibly original!

@kuntieplopkins.bsky.social Glad to see you here. Missed you on other platforms

One of my friends incredible images from last month’s Aurora Borealis. Go give @padams.co.uk a follow

As part of my every day therapy for my conditions, I really enjoy model making. Aircraft, armour, railways and anything else! Any other modellers out there? #modellers

Still my favourite album of all time. I’ve seen The Mission so many times and never been disappointed to see them live. A genuine deep love for this band.

Adding to the #cats with my 4. Recent additions, Olive and Juniper who are 4 months old, Amber (Queen of the house) and Willow who is my shadow. Love them to bits!

I’m a long term sufferer of Chronic Pain from failed L5/S1 surgery, SFN, Erythromelalgia, Functional Neurological Disorder, Sjögren’s Syndrome and other bits and pieces. Hopefully able to connect with others who live with long term conditions. #chronicillness

New to this so finding my way around. Still loving music I grew up such as: The Mission The Wonder Stuff PWEI Ned’s Atomic Dustbin All About Eve Suede The Cure Therapy? Radiohead QOTSA Elbow Kula Shaker Pink Floyd Pet Shop Boys Plenty of others! If that’s your thing, you’re in the right place!
