Spill the beans, too many people are "exposed" for what they are (or were), when its too late, if they were unkind, feels like Karma to me...👍
Hypothetical question. If you were writing a memoir & a high-profile, much-admired person had done you a disservice, which still sticks in your craw… would you spill the beans about it, or would you wait until they were no longer with us to do so? Asking for a friend.

Heavenly birthday thoughts for my Dad, John (Jack) Evans, who would have been 100 years old today. His smile and humour has certainly passed down through the generations into our children and grandchildren. Thinking of you Dad x🙏

This was the last text I ever received from my 34 year old Son, Edward. It was exactly a year ago today. Within hours he was gone. He decided he wasn't "OK" and he took his own life just after midnight. He was fighting on many fronts- Relationship problems, financial worry and issues with self esteem. I think about him 100 times a day. I'd do anything to get him back, even if it was just for 5 minutes. I'd say all the things to him that I didn't say when I had the opportunity. It's too late now. Please take care of your loved ones. Watch over them. Many are struggling. Many are thinking dark thoughts. Many will take the decision to end their own suffering. They need help and understanding. They probably won't get it from the "system" so it may be up to you. Give someone a call today to ask how they're doing. Tell them Edward suggested it.

This is how you do it..👇👇👏
Lots of humour in The King’s speech. All delivered with a twinkle in the eye. Content aside, simply as a public speaker, I’m not sure any British politician can match him

Men, read this and do not ignore it 👇👇👇🙏
Chris Hughton has revealed he was diagnosed with prostate cancer last year. Prostate cancer is curable if caught early, but early-stage prostate cancer often has no symptoms, so it is vital that men know their risk. Men are at higher risk if they are over 50, Black or have a father or brother who has had prostate cancer. @ProstateUK

A mind-melting fact is that the eulogy at Stan Laurel’s funeral was given by Dick Van Dyke, who was already 40 at the time
Stan Laurel died this day 1965. Here's the ONLY colour footage of Laurel and Hardy. Please RT and like to help show other people ❤️

My late grandads brother (Mark Tippey) died on HMS Natal on 30th December 1915, age 21. I promised my grandad I would keep his, and all others who have served our country memories alive. #lestweforget2025 🙏💜

The Eagle has landed (at Ferryhill!). Just over 40 miles of trouble free operation over 3 days celebrating the bicentenary of the Stockton & Darlington Railway. Would have been impossible to deliver without the amazing support of @networkrail
