The Ballad of Ken Kersley of Mixenden near Halifax

 

So.I have been reinstated ( after appeal ) to both facebook & instagram. With only a few minor & temporary restrictions. Although strangly they did remove one post that contained photos of me the other week in Halifax out drinking on my Birthday with Marc Pepe & Bryn . They said i was " Impersonating " which-on some levels - is fair enough!

 One perk of my 10 days sin-binning was me using an alternative facebook account .Now for the past year I have been blocked by Ken Kersley .I have known Ken since 1971 .You might remember many photos of him here over the years . 

Ken stopped speaking to me soon after our mutual friend Phil died last year. Ken has never explained why & i havn't a clue for his reasons .Most strange ..... 

Anyway , i spied on his facebook account last week and he posted this. it's probably not directed at me ...but it does shed light on his thinking? 

Social Media seems awash with memes like this. Pretending to be "enlightened " but maybe just a justification for selfishness.....?

Maybe the "Drama" was not me at all , but Phil's death?

Just A Thought........

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 ........

Mark Tyndall from Rochdale

I am sad to report news of the death of Mark Tydall.

 I heard via Jim Stridgen that he died a couple of weeks ago of Cancer. he was 62 .

 His funeral was last week.

 I first met Mark in the mid-80's at Rochdale Turkish Baths.

 A good lad.No harm in him at all. Very sad news
