Ahh, I’d forgotten (or almost erased?) the ‘joys’ of Jamie Carragher commentating on an #LFC match 🙄

Geographer at heart, head often in the clouds but feet firmly planted on the ground! Some work stuff, but all views expressed are very much my own...
Ahh bugger. What a damned shame. An absolute legend whose music and wider legacy will shine on.
Doing my best to concentrate on reading papers in the face of high grade kitty 🐈 distraction techniques. Louis is very practiced in his art… #cats

Utterly depressing that the only focus here seems to be on shareholders. Absolutely no consideration for passengers - the folk that ultimately provide the revenues.
Not sure what’s burning in Ditton / Widnes area, but it doesn’t look too!
Hello! It doesn’t cost anything to repost but it helps me spread the word about my small business. My online shop is full of bold & colourful prints, homewares, T-shirts and cards. I’m also available for freelance design work and art licensing. gailmyerscough.co.uk
Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...
Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning
Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

Why exactly would a Thailand-based economic migrant secretly give Nigel Farage £5 million as a 'reward' for delivering Brexit? I won't get to ask either of them this question but every single journalist & broadcaster granted access could...
The idea that Reform, run by public schoolboys from the south of England who want to cut taxes for the rich, have anything to offer people in Hull or Barnsley is just so mad I don't know what to do with it
Spent much of the day in Manchester today. The skyline there continues to change. I wonder what Engels would have made of it all…
Fortunate enough to have time to call in to the Catholic Cathedral while in Liverpool this morning. I’m not a particularly religious person but I find the space there remarkable, especially on a sunny day.
👇 excellent list to which I would add Iranian revolution Lockerbie Piper Alpha disaster 7/7. 2012 Olympics (especially being there for ‘Super Saturday’).

You wonder what #1 would make of today’s insane rant from #47. Suspect he would be spinning in his grave.
Louis is doing his best to ignore the damp weather and wider world events this morning. Ear scritches seem to fix everything #furryfriday #cats
It’s amazing the difference some blue skies, sunshine and birdsong can make to your mood. If you get the chance, get outside for a bit today. You’ll feel better for it!
As a former sufferer and in light of the awful Meningitis outbreak in the UK, sharing @meningitisnow.bsky.social and a handy symptom poster to raise awareness. Don’t take any chances if you suspect you or someone else may have the symptoms. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
Lucky to spend the morning in a gloriously sunny #Liverpool this morning. Great view of the two cathedrals. Reminded me that they are joined by ‘a street called Hope’ - something we need more of at the moment.
At the risk of sounding a grump, whilst I am loving watching the opening days of the #winterolympics the camera drones are providing really annoying!!! It’s like a giant mosquito buzzing around behind the athletes!
Feels very much like a ‘walls and tumbling down’ scenario just now. I fear though that what will remain will be a huge pile of rubble and not some new Jerusalem (sorry if I’m mixing metaphors) or any real justice for Epstein’s victims.
So once again we’re facing 12 men on the pitch tonight. Brilliant challenge by Ibou and foul given. Bah.
Not some long lost impressionist painting but the state of TNT Sports 1 at the moment. Not impressed as #FCBvsRMA was hotting up nicely!
I wonder if I can train my cats to polish our floors like this?
