3 wins from 22 games. Rock bottom of the league and going into the new year 11 points shy of anything that can be loosely termed as 'safety'. We need to pull our socks up. #pvfc

I’m not doing Black Friday this year. I’d rather be honest with you than try to compete with big brands. Every purchase genuinely makes a difference to my tiny business. Shop independent this Christmas. www.gailmyerscough.co.uk
I’m not offering Black Friday discounts this year because I’m a tiny one woman business and I can’t compete with the likes of Amazon. What I can offer - unique designs, high quality UK made products, customer service from a real person, a warm and fuzzy feeling because you are buying from a tiny independent business.

I'm old enough to have grown up with family who fought in WWII. They rarely talked about it and when they did it was to warn, not glorify. Remembrance Day was a time of quiet, sombre reflection. They would be horrified at the twisted celebration it has become.

If only more people had thought that openly at the time. In his memoir KR admits that he was "trying it" with the album to some extent (no single etc.) but yes it was routinely nitpicked over and slagged off at the time, probably for KR's "crime" of not being Shane MacGowan. I regarded it as genius.

Feeling overwhelmed? Here’s Rembrandt (Self-Portrait 1660) painted when he was 54-bankrupt, his studio closed, abandoned by his friends and pupils. Yet his hat is still sitting jauntily on his head, his eyes shining, head held high. Never lose hope #workswelove #artquestnyc 📍Metropolitan Museum
Ruthless self-portrait by Rembrandt wearing a black hat on a dark green background most of the light is concentrated on the face with thick paint showing texture of flesh on face, heavy pouches beneath eyes, double chin, with shining eyes and hat perched jauntily on one side of head. Wearing a red waist coat with heavy brown coat over it
