My self employment went pear shaped when my landlord sold the building for redevelopment without telling me. I saw an advert in the paper for an IT job at St Theodores (Teds) on Ormerod Road in Burnley. Got the job from 12 applicants whittled down to three. Three months later I was Network Manager a...

Not seen but heard on the news on the morning radio. Apparently the government have decided to fast track apprenticeships. They are reducing the time served to be qualified to 3 MONTHS! In my book this begs the question as qualified to do what? I cannot think of any trade that you could learn compet...

We watch The Chase frequently and they quite often have contestants whose names make others when they are lined up.

I was gifted a new book at Christmas, a Sunday Times Best Seller. "Bletchley Park Brainteasers" over 100 puzzles, riddles and enigmas inspired by the greatest minds of World War II. It has a byline at the bottom of the front cover, "Would Bletchley Park have recruited YOU?" The f...

A long time ago when I was about 17 and camping in the woods at Bowness we met an American lass who was 22 years old. She was amazed that we were allowed to do this at our tender age. She came across as a very sheltered individual and very naive despite a five year gap in our ages.

Saw one on the news today witch apparently shows Peter Mandelson in his Y fronts with a woman.

I used to mend Mary's TV, she lived in Salterforth in one of the houses on the left of Earby Road before the former railway bridge.

Yes electric was off most of the day and was still off at 6pm in our shop on Ellis Street. I think it is the guys working on the paving at Post Office Buildings that did the deed.

Today's funeral of our friend and comrade Alan Newbould. He was 82 and a Barlicker born and bred. No more party tricks of "Albert and the Lion" or "The Magna Charter" which he could recite from memory, usually presented at our socialist friends get togethers at Christmas. He was ...

Yes, fingers crossed for a good outcome.

What attracted my attention yesterday was our gym class where one of the exercises, the sled push/pull, (the length of the studio), 40 secs, 10 sec rest 40secs again was ramped up to 125Kg!

I think they are obliged under new legislation to ask about advertising on their platforms.

Came via Sally who grew up in Carleton. Only a spit away.

What about "glep" used to describe a quick look at something.

If you Google the word it comes back as some modern quite weird green critter.

I had a quick glep.

Its a Meta (Facebook thing) platform specific. I think I got that last week. Just followed it through, job done.

I believe his legally owned handgun was holstered and secured.

Last nights news showed a map of the US where ICE and other armed personnel are distributed around the country. Looked a bit like what a normal sane person would call Marshall Law. They seem to be practising it with impunity.

You can pay a decent price for milk if you use a local milkman, delivery at the door and supporting a local independent trader. No trekking to the supermarket to buy it cheaper and in plastic. Its a principled thing.

We have just booked "The Buddy Holly Story" at Bradford Alhambra.

Well, they have just given another constituency to Reform! Candidates should be chosen and endorsed by constituency labour party members. It has always been so, glad I am not part of this any more. One thing that strikes me is the fact that the NEC has dozens of delegates from, unions, the PLP, cons...

Sorry Stanley! Got quite a good oven spring on this soft Sourdough Sandwich Loaf. It was at the rim of the tin when I put it in the oven. 30 mins covered, 10 mins uncovered. Tested it this lunchtime.

So do I works a treat.

Not heard anything from Roger yet about his sourdough journey. Back from my gym session and I have just lifted my soft sourdough loaf mix out of the fridge for warm up before forming it up for the tin. It has been arguing with itself overnight to mature. Another hour or so after a final rise and it ...

Draft dodging coward.

Just a heads up, we currently have just short of £25.00 in the treasure chest for paying our dues to IONOS.

Catch up interview with my gym mentor Kyle this morning at 10.15 before our class at 10.30. I think I will lift my sourdough starter out of the fridge for a warm and feed before loaf production this afternoon and evening.

Glad to hear it Kev. How about this? https://www.oneguyfrombarlick.co.uk/app.php/gallery/image/18032/medium This was Laura my neuro physio and two others, notice the larger lass at my side, there to stop me moving about too much. Laura noticed that I had a dropped scapula from an old dislocation inc...
