Midge Ure, the lead singer is touring and we're going to see him in May. Can't wait ❤️

I am showing my age though, it got to no.2 in the UK chart in 1980. It didn't make no.1 because of an awful song called 'Shaddup your face' By Joe Dolce.

Vienna by Ultravox. To this day if I hear anyone say, "this means nothing to me", I respond with "Oh Vienna"

Absolutely. A lunatic in America, and I don't even have words for the useless so called leader we've got 🤦‍♀️

Much needed zen at the moment. Thank you 😊

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.

Whenever I see Hassett, I think of this guy, Leyland Townsend from the series Evil...

I take comfort from hugging my dogs at times like this. I hope cats work well in these situations too🐈‍⬛

I watched this last night. What a truly courageous and wonderful woman. Although very few women will have shared her experience, I would hope, I imagine that many will identify with aspects of her story, myself included. Her strength to rise above it is an inspiration to us all ❤️

There's a church less than 200 yards from where I live gone up for sale. I would guess that less than 2% of the population round these parts is Muslim. First comment, 'it's going to be a mosque'. Instant outrage. It isn't, never was, never could be, but the seeds are sown. I hate it.

This happens a lot on Facebook groups in my area, Sheffield. Anytime that a shop or pub closes, or a new building site is announced, the first comments are always, it's going to be a mosque, houses for illegals, etc. I think it's done purely to plant the seed of outrage. Sadly it works🙄

But it's only funny if it's not me! Pretty sure I'd not be the only chosen one to say that..

I would pay to see that!

We Need Your Help! The arrival of 2026 has been rather a damp affair so far with little respite from the grey skies and relentless rain. But it's not all bad, Spring is just around the corner, honest! Plus, work has...

Girl with one eye for if I'm angry, I can sing along with venom. Dog Days was my go to song of joy, but Guardians of the Galaxy 3 added trauma to that, so now it makes me cry.

I agree, we have a great team at the Sheffield Tribune. It's just frustrating that the mass media is so skewed that truth has to be searched for elsewhere, and sadly many do not bother to look.

Good grief. Is there a single politician, not being manipulated by others, out there? Is there any media, other than Byline Times, out there that is honest and truthful?

We had a French rat overwinter in our garage one year. We decided he was French because of the huge mound of empty snail shells he left at the back of our chest freezer.
