A nearly retired Toolmaker, no really, I am. Trout Angler, space geek, AFC Telford Utd fan. Love a bit of heavy rock tempered with a splash of prog. Here for debate, not argument. Oh and a grandad too.

So glad Bluesky is cracking down on impersonators and parody accounts.
NOTE: Since no one can prove God is real, I am therefore not an impersonation or a parody.

Ok, spending less time on that hell hole of a place that was once Twitter, and checking out this place.
It may take some time to pick up those I followed, as they seem to favour one over the other..... Threads or here.
Hoping others I follow will see the light so I can close my old twitter account
