A little part of me wants to believe that a very young Bob caught a whisper of this in the ether...

Good evening Bluesky gig-goers!
A probably really obvious Q&A, but I have to ask anyway: Is there any seating at gigs in the Piece Hall in Halifax or is it (as I suspect) a standing deal only?

To this, I would also add that I can’t recommend the book, “Ghosts of Spain” enough.
A great reminder of the dangers of teaching a sanitized history www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Spain has too rosy a view of Franco’s regime. Let’s remind ourselves of its horrors | Giles Tremlett

“The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which”
Labour are now the "darker forces" Mahmood is scaremongering about. Depriving people who have fled unimaginable horror the ability to rebuild their lives in safety and security, which this does, is sickening. Labour is sickening.

Well, on the bright side, it turns out that there’s a very good reason why I screwed my back up earlier this week and we’re stuck at home, instead of watching Bob in Leeds tonight. #flood
