Kudos to Neanderthal women for realising human men are best avoided approx 40,000 yrs before I did
A clip from a news story about evidence indicating male Neanderthals and human females were more likely to interbreed than the opposite

If you live in the #GortonAndDenton constituency and haven't voted yet, but don't know who to vote for, the best tactical vote to keep out #ReformUK is the #GreenParty. Vote #Green for hope not hate. tactical.vote/gorton-and-denton #UKPol #UKPolitics #GortonAndDentonByElection

This is a very good idea, thank you. We already have the kids full short sleeve kid and adult small long sleeve top on the way, I actually hadn’t thought of combining them at all in all the panic 😅. My mum sews to a pretty high standard so tailoring in time is v possible too. Miracle achieved?!

Thank for the reposts and help! Looking for kids 2015/16 Barca kit, shorts and long sleeve top, horizontal stripes, 8-14y (ideally about 10-11y). The specifications are part of his deep and pervasive autistic special interest in football gear, not just him being a brat, promise!

Ali Panting @alipanting.bsky.social · 12/12/2025
Just checked and it doesn’t look like it, we’re looking for kids size, full kit with shorts, long sleeve top (his autistic special interest is football kits, hence the specifics). Thank you though!

Ali Panting @alipanting.bsky.social · 12/12/2025
Anything from 8-14 years would work, ideal would be about 10-11 years. Even if nothing comes of this it means so much that strangers are being so helpful, thanks again

Ali Panting @alipanting.bsky.social · 12/12/2025
Ah yes we have found this one but I think it’s adult sized and no shorts

Ali Panting @alipanting.bsky.social · 12/12/2025
Not essential! I think we could probably get it added in time or do iron or letters or something. Thank you again!!!

Ali Panting @alipanting.bsky.social · 12/12/2025
If this was long sleeves it would be perfect. Thank you so much for your help!!

Ali Panting @alipanting.bsky.social · 12/12/2025
Thank you so much! Just for extra details it’s long sleeve top kids full kit with shorts somewhere between 8-14y

Thanks! Looking for kids size and full kit if at all possible but this is helpful!
