chickentown.bsky.social @chickentown.bsky.social · 01/10/2026BTW just read your word up blog. No f**KS given. Brilliant. 110
chickentown.bsky.social @chickentown.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I agree Des. It all seemed to start with Thatcher and Keith Joseph. 110
chickentown.bsky.social @chickentown.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Thanks Des. All good here. Steel works,mines, heavy industry. It ripped the heart out of communities all over the country and nothing of any substance was there to replace it and give people hope and we are where we are now. Hopefully things are about to change. 110
chickentown.bsky.social @chickentown.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Hi Mairi. I think there has been a lot of complacency with this latest rise of the far right. People thinking Farage would just disappear, or was just a fool. Unfortunately he and the others have massive financial backing from all sorts of different donors. As you say the young can give us hope. 100
chickentown.bsky.social @chickentown.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Good morning Des. Fantastic photos. I wonder what the snowman had done to get chased by the police?🤔. Happy Friday and enjoy your travels in the van. 110
chickentown.bsky.social @chickentown.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Good afternoon Des. Late on parade today. Not in work until 2. Wonderful photograph. Must have been hard living near the steel works though. Have a great day. 111
chickentown.bsky.social @chickentown.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Went to see Tom Robinson last week in MCR. He said he's not in the best of health since COVID. At 75 he puts most UK politicians to shame by what he says and his deeds. Picked up some flyers for the MCR march on 26th. Shocked but not surprised by comments by people at work when I handed them out.☹️ 120
chickentown.bsky.social @chickentown.bsky.social · 23/09/2026That looks wonderful but sort of spooky at the same time. 010
chickentown.bsky.social @chickentown.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Afternoon Des.I love Whitby and that is a wonderful picture. I've walked up those steps a few times and it's worth all those steps when you see the view from the top. I hope you've been Des. 110
chickentown.bsky.social @chickentown.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Thanks Des.Just looking for it now. By chance I saw they are screening Quadrophonia @Home in Manchester. I've seen it many times. Got the record,the VHS and DVD but never got to see it on a big screen. I just need to convince my wife to come.😁 110
chickentown.bsky.social @chickentown.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Hope you enjoyed this. Going to have to find this. We have been to a lot of Hockney things and bought books and watched documentaries. Just such a wonderful character and artist. 110
chickentown.bsky.social @chickentown.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Yes I think I know what you mean 🤔. Although apart from the shard and the gherkin etc there are some bland new buildings. I just thought the tower looked like a spaceship had placed it there during the night and the woman is so shocked she's grabbed her things and made a run for it.😁 110
chickentown.bsky.social @chickentown.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I do like brutalist buildings but next to those houses and the beautiful way the lady is dressed it looks like you could draw a line straight down the middle and have two photos from two different times. Then again I think Brutalism was meant to clash and stir up strong feelings.😂.A fantastic photo. 120
chickentown.bsky.social @chickentown.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Good morning Des. I would love to step into that picture and walk that beach. It looks wonderful. 110
chickentown.bsky.social @chickentown.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Cheers Des. From the famous Stalybridge Buffet bar. 111
chickentown.bsky.social @chickentown.bsky.social · 11/09/2026PF That's one hell of a playlist. Packed with top tunes. 22hrs. Saved & Downloaded. Very much appreciated. 120
chickentown.bsky.social @chickentown.bsky.social · 11/09/2026Sorry only just seen the invite. I'll get my coat.😁 010
chickentown.bsky.social @chickentown.bsky.social · 09/09/2026I pay my TV licence to support the BBC. I've got the latest copy of Lifeboat to support the RNLI and got my Antifascist national trust member badge which this wonderful musician Johnny Campbell had made. Please visit his insta. www.instagram.com/johnny_campb... 110
chickentown.bsky.social @chickentown.bsky.social · 10/08/2026Been in there last year Des. Bought some vinyl and a couple of cassettes if I remember rightly. Had a very good night upstairs in Major Toms. Some great tunes were played too. 110
chickentown.bsky.social @chickentown.bsky.social · 10/08/2026Good morning Des. Good drying weather this week. My old Gran would have had that lot hung out and donkey stoned the step before half the street were up.😁. Enjoy the sunshine on your day off. 110
chickentown.bsky.social @chickentown.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Thank you for that information. I have looked up Grinling Gibbons and found out he has an early work at Dunham Massey only 30mins drive from our house. We now plan to visit next Sunday. Social media can be a wonderful thing. Thank you. 010
chickentown.bsky.social @chickentown.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Extremely parched around these parts too Des.We have started to get a veg box direct from a farm in Macclesfield. In his weekly newsletter that comes with the box he says they have completely lots 10k head of broccoli they planted. 110
chickentown.bsky.social @chickentown.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Stunning Des. The yellow,red and orange colours really pop out even though it's night time. It really shows what talent is. 110
chickentown.bsky.social @chickentown.bsky.social · 01/08/2026All well here thanks. We haven't done enough camping lately. Nice choice. I've got a soft spot for them too. The bloke who runs one of the local open mics has played with them as a backing musician. A real local character called Robin Sunflower. Used to run a very good veggie cafe. 110
chickentown.bsky.social @chickentown.bsky.social · 01/08/2026Morning Des do you have a favourite Tramp tune. Mines probably Give a little bit. Someone usually pulls out a Supertramp song whenever I go to an open mic night. Enjoy your camping. 100
chickentown.bsky.social @chickentown.bsky.social · 28/07/2026Wonderful photo Des. Grumpy Brummie such a brilliant phrase "free range children". Me and my mates roamed as far and as wide as we wanted until we got hungry enough to go home for tea. 120
chickentown.bsky.social @chickentown.bsky.social · 28/07/2026* nicking them .bloody stubby fingers. 010
chickentown.bsky.social @chickentown.bsky.social · 28/07/2026My sister used to write her name on the label of her records to stop her little brother ( me) knocking them....it didn't.🙄 110
chickentown.bsky.social @chickentown.bsky.social · 27/07/2026That's lovely & funny. Going to follow for more wonderful "canards"( I had to look that up). 130
chickentown.bsky.social @chickentown.bsky.social · 27/07/2026Good morning Des. I've often wondered if David Lynch & Melvyn Bragg used the same Barbers? 🤔 110
chickentown.bsky.social @chickentown.bsky.social · 27/07/2026The detail in some of the art work is stunning. For what is essentially a very affordable mass produced book the care in the paintings and text is wonderful. Using these books at school from the early 1970's I think we were very lucky. Thank you for your posts. 160
chickentown.bsky.social @chickentown.bsky.social · 27/07/2026Sounds just what I need. I will investigate. 110
chickentown.bsky.social @chickentown.bsky.social · 26/07/2026Also a very good soundtrack playlist. All credit to the maker of the playlist. open.spotify.com/playlist/1kU...open.spotify.comCoast to Coast soundtrackPlaylist · Malcolm Young · 20 items · 210 saves 000
chickentown.bsky.social @chickentown.bsky.social · 26/07/2026Obviously not as good as Dobie Gray but lovely all the same. Starts at 16mins.20secs. youtu.be/0Mj3T223O94?...youtu.beCoast to Coast (1987) - Part 2YouTube video by Nick Pike 110
chickentown.bsky.social @chickentown.bsky.social · 26/07/2026Erm, I do think that's rather lovely as Sgt Wilson would say. Nice choice Des. 120
chickentown.bsky.social @chickentown.bsky.social · 23/07/2026Would be lovely if the innocent young girl had written it.🙂 110
chickentown.bsky.social @chickentown.bsky.social · 23/07/2026Along with Blondie they wrote some class tunes. 110
chickentown.bsky.social @chickentown.bsky.social · 23/07/2026Excellent choice Des. Obviously a man of taste. Enjoy your day. 110
chickentown.bsky.social @chickentown.bsky.social · 17/07/2026Is that James Nesbitt in the barbers chair? 🤔 110
chickentown.bsky.social @chickentown.bsky.social · 17/07/2026Afternoon Des. I really enjoy looking at your MH Oxfam photos. It always looks like a great choice of 70's classic rock vinyl. Couldn't afford to pay big money for a record now though,£1500.😳 Finding CDs far better value in charity shops and fairs these days. 210
chickentown.bsky.social @chickentown.bsky.social · 14/07/2026Looks beautiful. Have a fantastic post punk day yourself. 110
chickentown.bsky.social @chickentown.bsky.social · 12/07/2026Fantastic album. No filler on this one. 010
chickentown.bsky.social @chickentown.bsky.social · 11/07/2026Nice plaid shirts they're wearing. Look like cardboard.😁. Unbelievable song though. 010
