paulgiv.bsky.social @paulgiv.bsky.social · 12/10/2026They brought back the DS brand and that didn't go too well. The original Citroen DS will be my big lottery win purchase one day. 110 0

paulgiv.bsky.social @paulgiv.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I've not been inside since the mid 70's but I did recently buy a copy of Bruce Downie's excellent "Loved and Lost" book from there. When the book arrived they had kindly put in a load of Govanhill postcards, gratis. 120 0

paulgiv.bsky.social @paulgiv.bsky.social · 29/09/2026No...it runs diesel cars fine for a while but because it lacks the additives that forecourt diesel has...it trashes the engine's head and valves after a while. I have friends who have done this. One had a lovely 6 cylinder BMW...ouch. 111 0

paulgiv.bsky.social @paulgiv.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Good and bad memories of my time there. Remember we played football in the playground with a lump of coal from the boiler house. On a good day, someone would produce a tennis ball. Also the cruel Mr Collins with his "belt". Not a nice man. Other teachers were great. 010 0
paulgiv.bsky.social @paulgiv.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Given how it looked 20 years ago, the modern glass section is a small price to pay. Better than having it demolished and replaced by something glass & steel. 230 0

Reposted by @paulgiv.bsky.socialProf Christina Pagel @chrischirp.bsky.social · 10/09/2026I just signed this open letter to RNLI volunteers saying that Britain values their service. In case anyone else wants to sign act.38degrees.org.uk/act/rnli-tha...act.38degrees.org.ukAn open letter in support of the volunteers and staff at the RNLIThis is a disgrace. Brave RNLI volunteers being called scum for risking their lives to save others at sea is just plain wrong. So I've signed an open letter of thanks for the RNLI letting them know th... 10266152 0

paulgiv.bsky.social @paulgiv.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Mate, your spaniel might be happy with the odd treat now but if you keep putting her in your social media posts, she is going to want a bigger cut. She's probably on the lookout for an agent as we speak 😉 130 0

paulgiv.bsky.social @paulgiv.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Such sad news. Even without meeting her, it was obvious that she was such a decent person. Her generosity during Covid was one example. I'm not really a country music fan but her recent "Rockstar" album was amazing. Not many would know it was her singing if they hadn't seen the album listing. 020 0
