Mike McGunigle @gixer71.bsky.social · 3hThe original 2CV was designed to be a work horse. The boot was designed to be the right size for a bale of hay. The axel widths wide enough to run in a ploughed field, with suspension able to cope with driving through fields. This is from memory. I vaguely remember from watching a documentary 172

I’ve sold 30 tickets in a 400 seater in Birmingham, and not much more elsewhere. If you like musical comedy, if you like standup, then please come see my show! And spread the word!

Mike McGunigle @gixer71.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Probably Alistair Sims "Scrooge". Does that count though being a festive film? 010
Mike McGunigle @gixer71.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Doesn't everyone do that? My dad did it, I do it, erm my wife and kids don't 🤔 But then the DVLA make a fortune selling plates that closely resemble words. 000
Mike McGunigle @gixer71.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I made Damson Brandy last month but unfortunately put too much brandy in, so had so sup some from the top of the kilner jar. It's going to taste blooming amazing come Christmas. 020

Mike McGunigle @gixer71.bsky.social · 14/09/2026How about the short people turn up early and watch the support act instead of standing at the bar drinking until the main act come on and then moan they can't get a decent spot. No I'm not letting you stand in front of me cause you can't see. 140

Mike McGunigle @gixer71.bsky.social · 04/09/2026We want to go to the Isle of Arran with our micro caravan. Is it easy to get there? Half looked into it and already stressing about the ferry. 000
Mike McGunigle @gixer71.bsky.social · 03/09/2026That's easy. @sensibleswos.bsky.social will agree that it's Sensible Soccer. Looks better than modern football games and plays better too. 120

Mike McGunigle @gixer71.bsky.social · 27/08/2026The detail in the tat is amazing. Tenko Tattoo in Preston. Done by Doris, who is so lovely. All young people working there so no BlueSky presence. Loads on Instagram though. 010
Mike McGunigle @gixer71.bsky.social · 27/08/2026The Monkey King. Finally. I wanted a Monkey tattoo for so long, but couldn't get it quite right til now. 110
Mike McGunigle @gixer71.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Went to #TenkoTattoo in Preston on Tuesday for a day session. It was a very good experience. Lovely people working there, all very friendly. Each tattooing area had a TV. A clean and modern looking studio, unlike some of the places I went in my youth. I had a massive grin seeing my finished piece. 000

Mike McGunigle @gixer71.bsky.social · 15/08/2026A good win for St. Helens this evening. Bit touch and go during the first half, heart in mouth. We're still 4 points outside the playoffs. I know we can do it though #coys 000

Mike McGunigle @gixer71.bsky.social · 08/08/2026I think it was an Alcatel 9109 in yellow. Line rental was £20 a month and calls were 50p a minute. Quite steep for 1995 000
Mike McGunigle @gixer71.bsky.social · 06/08/2026I went to a Charity dinner. Eric Sykes had to cancel last minute due to filming and Jimmy Cricket was his replacement. Groaned, and wasn't looking forward to his act. He turned out to be absolutely hilarious, much better than when on TV. 000
Mike McGunigle @gixer71.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Vine an entertainer, that's stretching it. I thought BBC kept his programme on so Radio 2 staff could have an extended lunch break as most people switch over to other stations when he comes on. 020
