#Farage advocating the relaxation of gun laws in the UK. His Ltd Co “party” alleging that the UK is too violent and lawless. Doesn’t compute. But I guess the hard of thinking will agree with the frog faced loon. www.theguardian.com/politics/201...

Our local MP Tim Farron has been very supportive of us during the last few years. We met him in Grange yesterday to bring him up to date with the plans for our Lido when we get on site after the current works are completed. 1/2

Can’t help but wonder why the other place is full of posts blaming anyone other than tango man and his ludicrous sidekick for the Oval Office argument. Nothing to do with #Musk and his algorithm of course.

How to deal with scam callers #101. Junk caller “I’m calling about your Microsoft computer”. “I don’t have a Microsoft computer.” “It’s about your computer” “what computer?” He said “how many computers do you have?” “what’s a computer?” Reply “Sir, you’re a d***head” and he hung up. Result.

Anyone else getting very tired of the news reporting what #ElonMusk says? His comments are ill informed, ill judged and inflammatory, and only serve to stir up trouble. Goodness knows what he will be do when his puppet Tangoman is inaugurated.

Our perseverance will pay off and we will bring swimming back to the Lido.
This was taken in 2022, offering a glimpse into the history of our lido - but also showing how neglected it had become since closing in 1993 💙
It was in dire need of some TLC to help it shine once more. 1/2

The jump 🏊😍
There are some fantastic photos of our lido in its heyday, including this collection taken of bold swimmers diving into its waters.
Did you visit our lido - and were you brave enough to try the diving board?!

Ok. Think Biden has erred in pardoning Hunter now. Should have waited until Jan 20. Gives Trump an excuse to pardon all and sundry about Jan 6.

Beginning to think it’s me. Been to see @barrowafc.bsky.social four times this season - they’ve lost two and drawn two with only 3 goals scored. Should I stop going? 🤣
