Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

Stevie Nicks was my undoing today.

Fascinating episode. Would like to hear more on where the supply chain is headed in Europe, US and Ukraine both re scale and tech. Nowhere fast seems to be the case in the UK

I found it rather inspiring and his playing was impressive. A deserved winner of the heat in my book, which isn't always the case.

Healey will have the opportunity to do what he demanded, no excuses now.

What a fascinating programme. I can't wait to visit Italy for the first time later this year.

I hadn't come across Mr Crudup previously, but thoroughly enjoyed a thought provoking interview with an erudite, informed and interesting man. If he comes on UK TV I'll definitely look out for him.

Robert Jenrick helpfully lists all the things he didn't do during his 10 years in government.

I'm sure you could add proper chocolate, beer and chips to your list of Europe's relative merits.

Fantastic. Head and shoulders her best dance.

Richard Wardner @craigo18.bsky.social · 01/11/2025

Oh dear. I've voted for Alex every week, but I didn't feel this suited her. Competent but no more. I'm sort of glad the judges disagree with me!

Richard Wardner @craigo18.bsky.social · 01/11/2025

I loved that. The music, intensity, the footwork, just great. Maybe 1 off for the pirouette.

Richard Wardner @craigo18.bsky.social · 01/11/2025

Nice light feet. I like it when the focus is there rather than striped off top half.

Richard Wardner @craigo18.bsky.social · 01/11/2025

Agreed, week after week, year after year.

Fantastic! Katya deserves a massive pat on the back too, she's such a clever choreographer, as well as a fabulous dancer of course.

Richard Wardner @craigo18.bsky.social · 01/11/2025

Very enjoyable. 8.5 from me. Proper dancing bravo.

Richard Wardner @craigo18.bsky.social · 01/11/2025

The choreography was rather over-focused on Alexis for the second week. I think George has more potential than had been visible thus far.

Richard Wardner @craigo18.bsky.social · 01/11/2025

For me this was the first time that I believed in Ellie's dance, much improved.

Richard Wardner @craigo18.bsky.social · 25/10/2025

We all love an AT so feel extra saddened when it doesn't hit the spot. Not helped by inappropriate music.

010

Richard Wardner @craigo18.bsky.social · 25/10/2025

Ouch. I thought Ellie was way more flat footed and had their scores the other way around. Alexis's steps are so quick and precise they do make it difficult for an amateur partner.

First dance off where I wasn't sure who I thought should go through, based on the dance off alone.

Definitely not for me this one. Strutting about and pulling silly faces. Backwards from last week.

Richard Wardner @craigo18.bsky.social · 04/10/2025

Best dance of the night for me, which is quite something for someone without a dance background. For me George's topline was bob on. Alexis an excellent addition to the troupe.

It was a suggestion that Cheshire's linkages were divided between Manchester and Liverpool, and my contention that Cheshire more Manchester (Liverpool more Lancs). We could split the difference and call it Gtr Warrington 😂

Richard Wardner @craigo18.bsky.social · 18/07/2025

Absolutely, although nimby resistance would be stiff.

Richard Wardner @craigo18.bsky.social · 18/07/2025

Nothing wrong with it, if it's your cup of tea, indeed my wife is a scouser. Nonetheless, when I go into a city, whether for transport links, culture or entertainment, it tends to be Manchester (or Chester).

Richard Wardner @craigo18.bsky.social · 18/07/2025

I'd like a tram extension to South Warrington please, or a train station (we don't have a local stop).

Even if the only alternative on offer was Liverpool?

I can only apologise Rich. Have you considered moving south of the Mersey ;-)

Richard Wardner @craigo18.bsky.social · 18/07/2025

I also cross regularly, to walk in the Clwydian hills. The psychological barrier may seem bigger the further you get from the actual border (not just along the A55 in Wales, this may be a universal).

Richard Wardner @craigo18.bsky.social · 18/07/2025

I don't think the citizens of Chester would necessarily argue. The Welsh though wouldn't see it the same way I suspect

Richard Wardner @craigo18.bsky.social · 18/07/2025

There's quite a lot of prosperity in North Cheshire TBH, I don't think it is an island, but I do agree that Chester's M56 location and history are both suited to a linking role.
