My Instagram & Facebook

 Just a very brief update regarding me & facebook   /  Instagram .

Sunday afternoon ( 10th August) i received these messages. Totally out of the blue .No explanation about the actual reasons . Plus ( despite what those messages might say) I cannot directly contest their actions.

However, I did find ( via a google search ) an email address for facebook's Community Standards and have sent them an email ( no reply yet ) .

I  am genuinely nonplussed about their actions. Now,  I do post a lot of "political stuff" on facebook. And recently these have been receiving lots of "likes" & "shares ".That's all I can image the reasons to be........who knows?

 I do know a doppelganger  ( a very nice chap )  who is kindly letting me share his facebook page . Drop me a message if you need the address of that.

I am actually more upset about also losing my instagram site. Will we ever see it's like again?

Things To Do After Your Dad Dies.

A nice photo of me & Bob.

I attended my friend Bob's Funeral in Oldham this morning 
 He died about 5 weeks ago but , partly , it had been delayed because his son Neil (aka Nodge) McRoberts had been in the USA due to Business. attending a Conference in Stamford, Connecticut and ,prior to that. talking to Netflix Producers about summat or other !.
 He has his own podcast  Talking Scared   which includes Interviews with the likes of   Stephen King  &  Margaret  Atwood .He writes stuff for The Guardian : Esquire and Vogue Magazine . His first Novel comes out soon . pre-order  https://www.wildhuntbooks.co.uk/books/p/goodboy/9781068563102
A busy lad !
needless to say, he spoke very well at today's funeral.


I have known Bob & his son for over 15 years.
 And I have some empathy with Neil's situation of being abroad knowing your dad is dead. 40 years ago I was abroad on Christmas Day in  Marrakesh when I heard my Dad had died suddenly .
Sadly , they had no American Footballs in Morocco ........
