Kepler-186

There’s a clip in black and white of kids in Kirkby getting interviewed and they still had the sing song lilt to the accent.

There is no alternative, Bruce, old boy.

Not linking the Mirror as the site is practically unreadable but in March 23 it quoted he later wrote on his website: "When I started out, nearly everything I tried was a total failure. "My business partner and I tried exporting marmalade to Japan – which flopped. We tried building children’s playgrounds – that failed. "We tried to run a business setting up guides for foreign tourists – that folded too. "Eventually we hit on something that worked – we started publishing student guides to help people find the right college or university." Should’ve done what his ancestors did and imported a load of mitsubisis for the Chinese market.

Jeremy Hunt set up the company Hotcourses in the early dot com days. By all accounts it was a cunt of a company to work for. When 9/11 hit and people were gathering to take events in up popped Hunt out of his office to ask people to quieten down as it was distracting the sales team.

Fido K.19 has a folder with classic TV shows on that don’t need to be searched for or linked to RD.

RoboDoc (2023) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5759360/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk 4 part mini series documentary on the making of seminal 80s film RoboCop. 9 bitches leave out of ten

A bit of FF on the GF. 2 fellas groundhop and visit supporters’ groups and discuss the unmentionable, politics and history around the world. Recommended.

Cheers for that Stronts, good to get a bit of perspective. Good luck to the kid it he’s getting paid, that’s the name of the game.

They’re definitely getting the gang back together. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/feb/06/germany-tractor-neo-nazi-economy-politics

“Looks like class war’s back on the menu, boys!”

Done quite a bit of the Russian revolutionary period on Revolutions but have started Age of Napoleon , and it’s great. Only 4 episodes but this was quality. This is a series of final lectures from one of Ireland’s leading professors on the Irish Revolution. Recommended.

Great read this about the Fox Street apartments and recent fire. https://open.substack.com/pub/liverpoolpost/p/village-of-the-damned-inside-the?r=7i95q&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=post Don’t think it’s paywalled, but if it is let me know and I’ll copy and edit a version.

Going round on Telegram apparently.

Culture War? Completed it, mate.

Good stuff mate, thanks for that. Peter Hooton does a Liverpool music tour now visiting old places and talking about the different scenes.

Only heard about this band when the lead singer passed away a while ago. One for some of our more senior posters? Also stumbled across this.

It looked like authentic footage rather than anything from the series. Were they called rhubarbs the fighter sweeps? Anyway, there’s the Paddy Finucane film to look forward to.

Saw a clip on FB off B-17 pilots reacting to the Me 262 turning up. I might be wrong but didn’t the RAF initially give partial cover over the channel into France and Belgium but no further?

There were no Yanks in SAS Rogue Heroes because there weren’t any serving there as they only turned late 1942 in Operation Torch. The 8th Air Force flew from British airfields and would’ve had at some points escorts from RAF squadrons with British and Commonwealth pilots.

“Frakking toasters are skin jobs now?”

To help you get through the day ”I've travelled this old world of ours from Barnsley to Peru, I've had sunstroke in the arctic and a swim in Timbuktu, I've seen unicorns in Burma and a Yeti in Nepal, And I've danced with ten-foot pygmies in a Montezuma hall, I've met the King of China and a working Yorkshire miner, But I've never met a nice South African! (Chorus) No he's never met a nice South African, And that's not bloody surprising man, 'Cause we're a bunch of arrogant bastards who hate black people!”

I’ll link the article below that features the above YouTube report on how Roblox is exploiting child labor and being massively rewarded for it. Videos about 16 minutes long. Didn’t know much about Roblox but there’s been a raft of mergers and layoffs across the gaming industry. Article is a lengthy read but if you even know a little about how big games like Fortnite and CoD work using in game currency and items it’s quite a revelation. https://open.substack.com/pub/peewee/p/the-addiction-economy-seeks-to-create?r=7i95q&utm_medium=ios&utm_campaign=post
