All the tweets in posts are showing as “unavailable” although as others are quoting the posts and referencing the tweets I presume they can see them. Anyone else having this problem? I’ve no problem when I go on Twitter itself

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-67355475 Been having one of these nearly every day for the past few weeks. Tastes go in phases but this is bad news

I'll be going for a two week holiday to India in October, doing it the easy way on an arranged trip with all meals and accommodations, trips etc included in the price but we imagine we'll want to take some cash with us for if we go to local markets, coffee houses or whatever. Haven't a clue how...

I can’t think of any

I was talking with my son on the way in yesterday about the drive needed to keep winning and wanting more and mentioned to him that there are some footballers who earn a living from it but don't enjoy it. Who, he not unreasonably asked and well, I couldn't answer. But I know there are some. Can...

I believe I was born in Dulwich Hospital which looks to be half way between Millwall (the New Den) and Crystal Palace. Can't be doing with either of them but does solve the mystery of why I had a Palace shirt after I'd moved to Manchester. I'd never given it much thought before. Strictly...

I'd never heard of these till yesterday, a local version of the Munro's and much easier. Basically a list of 95 "hills, tors, edges and trigs" in the Peak District that you can "do". There's an app for ticking them off and marking progress. Is anyone doing them? We did our first yesterday but...

I saw the National at the Mayfield Depot last night, great gig but pretty poor venue. It might have seemed like a good idea to turn a big old empty building into a concert venue but not much thought seems to have gone into it. Little effort to work on the acoustics, portaloos and only one exit...

Originally posted this in the ticket forum but not sure how well read that is. My son is trying to get hold of at least one but preferably two day tickets for Leeds for Sunday.PM if you can help. Face value not silly prices. We’ll collect

If anyone has one going PM please

I've got a day ticket for Bluedot this Saturday, Mogwai headlining. Unfortunately Covid has disrupted our plans, my partner was also due to be volunteering at the event. I won't now be able to go, ticket has a face price of £53.78, it cost more with the booking fee but I'm looking for 50 quid...

Too much?

Don’t think we’ve got one. A space to discuss what live music you’ve seen or are going to see, whether it was any good or not, where the support bands better etc Any genre, classical included. Just an excuse really for me to mention I’m off to see Rolling Blackout Coastal Fever tonight...

Easy enough if you are from Manchester or London or even Liverpool to point to your musical heritage but what if you are from one of the hundreds of smaller towns around. Macclesfield has been my home for over 30 years and we don't do too bad, starting with Joy Division, even if all the members...

https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/uk-news/grandad-told-could-keep-mystery-22139285 Always more to these stories than meets the eyes. I don’t have much sympathy for this fella, I wouldn’t have the gall to spend money I knew wasn’t mine, no matter how much “reassurance” was offered

It’s a bit too close to the swamp for my liking but will be there tonight for Suede. Had a drive past last week and couldn’t see any obvious easy parking. Any suggestions?
