  1. Enjoyed #RoyalNorthernSinfonia at #StGeorges in Cullercoats tonight.

    The church is lovely too, but oh, why didn't I sit on a kneeler? The duration of a concert sitting in a pew was a test of endurance.

    #Vivaldi #FourSeasons

  2. No sooner had I completed the transfer of £s than he started to tell me that the garage roof and the roof of the kitchen extension wouldn’t last the winter.
    He quoted a price which if I trusted him might have been fair but I can’t be certain. And of course I have no clue if his claim that the work needed doing is true.
    I was in quite a turmoil last night and it’s pretty much the first thing I’ve thought about on waking.
    At 07.43 he sent me a text reducing the quote by £500!

    I haven't heard anyone focus on Cameron/Osbourne's austerity and the Johnson government's legacy mis-handling COVID.

    I haven't looked, but should research the reasons for the increasing numbers disabled by their own government.

    They clearly think the plebs are expendable.

    Thank you for watching it by the way. VicD is fabulous but Streeting makes my stomach heave.

  4. I liked #PaulMcNamee of #BigIssue 's contribution to 'Newsnight' following the poisonous Kendall's stoking hatred towards the vulnerable. Bit late posting this, but until the narrative changes it's still worth mentioning.

    Listen from 11.11 onwards

    I've more images of tugs on my 'phone than you can imagine!

    You have your opinion, I have mine.

    By your calculation, #NorthShields #Tynemouth #Cullercoats and #WhitleyBay should all be classified as #Newcastle too.

    I suppose by your logic you’re from Sunderland.

  7. "Successive UK govts have expected the City of London to revive the economy. This faith is misplaced."

    "In 2024, £25.3bn new shares issued on the London Stock Exchange
    £92.1bn paid in dividends
    £57.1bn paid in share buybacks."

    "Companies sweat assets, leads to low productivity."

    "Yet no govt reforms."

    Thanks.

    I follow Richard already.
    I'll follow #PremSikka now.

    Once my fellow Australians have made sure we can criticise any country that is committing war crimes, I'll repost that "corporations" article.

    Very cloudy here tonight in #WhitleyBay where that image of #StMarysLighthouse was taken on some other dazzling occasion.

    You generally can’t move in the car park when people start sharing images on social media. It makes a lovely backdrop if you’re amongst the first there.

    See my profile for a daytime image.

  14. @snigdha do you realise you’ve posted an image of a spot a mile from where I live?

    If you look at my profile you’ll see what #StMarys #WhitleyBay looks like in daylight. 😀

    We have the privilege of frequently observing nature’s lights display.

  15. Increasingly frustrated with #Aon, the #pension provider for thankfully a very small portion of my working life. I'm so glad not to have made any decisions dependent on a timely payout.

    I completed a review search out of curiosity. They score 1.1. Hah!

    I've telephoned several times to be told payment will be made "Soon". A complete waste of time.

    I'm in receipt of three other pensions; all paid my benefits beginning on my birthday in February. 🤷🏻‍♀️

  16. @Geri

    Invisible or just dispensable?

    That’s what we ‘plebs’ are to our ‘masters’.

    I can’t abide injustice. I’m sick to death of trying to get a resolution for a family member. It’s exhausting.

    It’s a frustrating, distressing, stressful situation but it doesn’t begin to compare with #Grenfell

  17. @alexadeswift @therightarticle Starmer has already 'burned his boats' as far as I'm concerned.

    I wouldn't trust him in any situation. I don't think any "arse kicking and dragging" can fix a lack of integrity.

    He needs to go. Not that I'm suggesting it will happen. Unless in power he makes a bigger mess than Sunak in which case heaven help us all!

  18. It was excruciating watching Anneliese Dodds doing the media round this morning, with her squirming semantics.

    Nothing can justify admitting Natalie Elphicke to the Labour Party.

    She said she learned of the move 'when everyone else did.'

    If this is his handiwork, the charmless wonder should offer justification.

  19. I didn't intend to watch it... it was on in the background and I was quickly hooked... 'Ambulance'.

    Some humans really are heroes.

    How UTTERLY FABULOUS is Omar?

  20. @2legged

    I’d laugh, but these self-serving morons are f@cking up people’s lives, vilifying the vulnerable and encouraging fascists…

    I have a disabled family member who lives in fear of what will come next, what their life will be as rights and support continue to deteriorate.

    I’m old enough to remember life before #Thatcher . It’s been nothing but decline since.

    Be well. (Don’t get ill, grow old etc in this society or else… 🤬)

  21. Wish I could console my ASD person. They’ve failed their driving test for the second time. They’re an able driver, since obtaining an automatic, but the stress of being tested by a stranger… 😱

    Apparently in the feedback the examiner said that generally they were a “good driver”. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    And then there’s the problem of obtaining another test. It’s looking like May unless someone cancels and they happen to check at the ‘right’ time. Then we’ll have the stressful build up all over again. #DrivingTest

  22. @TheConversationUK

    An aside.

    Why can’t the BBC (national, not local news) stop reporting that Sam Fender is from #Newcastle ? He’s not. #NorthShields

    If someone was from Croydon it wouldn’t be reported as London, would it? Is it really beyond southern media to report accurately on items in the north?

  23. @randahl @LordWoolamaloo we say 'haar' in north-east England too, notwithstanding 'the fog on the Tyne' (Haar wouldn't have scanned in the song.) #NorthShields #HerdGroyne

  24. @andymoose @patrickhadfield

    Let's hope so...

    As an aside, it seems the UK Labour government is still trying to cut support to those who need it (per morning interview with Pat MacFadden). They're just squirming to find 'palatable' ways to achieve cuts.

    All part of achieving an environment that demonises the vulnerable.

    (And yes, I know that doesn't include all autistic people, it's just I have a family member who will probably never be in employment.)

  25. @benjamincox

    I have a disabled family member who could not possibly work, who lives in a constant state of anxiety, if not terror, of losing their only meagre income.

    It makes me furious. I hate feeling so helpless, but short of winning the lottery, there's not much I can do.
