Did you spot this @bbc article about our news? We've been awarded a development grant by the #NationalLottery @HeritageFundNOR to develop detailed plans to transform this unique and historic Library into a more accessible and sustainable space: bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-ma…

Historic Manchester library wins £453k grant for revamp

The Grade II-listed Portico Library, which dates back to 1806, will use the money for a refurbishment.

Iredale has been done here... Scored better than Burrows but doesn't count because he played wing-back. #bwfc

Feel sorry for the Everton supporters. It's not their fault, yet, they're the folk it will affect most emotionally!

Did you know you can adopt a book at the Portico Library? We’ll be screening a new film by @‌JeremiahQuinn on our #AdoptABook process at the launch event for our new exhibition #BookendsAndBeginnings tomorrow. The film tells the moving story of how and why people choose their books. We’d love for you to join us for the event & screening on Thu 12 Oct from 5 - 7pm: theportico.org.uk/event-cale…

Well the Tories have been in power for 13 years, (Not you personally as you switched sides). Brexit was 7 years ago i.e. control of our borders etc. What is your solution to this? Be as detailed as you like.

I'd say Twenty Yards Behind from the Down by the Jetty album as Wilko sings the vocal.

RIP Wilko. He did it right.

So sad at the passing of the great Wilko Johnson. I first saw Dr Feelgood at the Hope & Anchor in 1974 and they did their first ever radio session on my @BBCR1 show a few days later. Wilko was absolutely unique. His energy and spirit were incredible. We’ll really miss him #RIP

Just had tinned fruit salad and evaporated milk for the first time in, I reckon, 45 years. It was 100% magnificent and I now realise I have wasted nearly half a century on Tiramisu and suchlike.

Just the music 🎵🎶🎸 Jimi Hendrix is ​​asked in an interview: Hey, Jimi, how does it feel to be the best guitarist in the world? I have no idea. Ask Rory Gallagher.

Myeloma UK@MyelomaUK1 Feb 2022
It can be hard to spot the signs of #myeloma.  You may feel fatigued, have easily broken bones and/or bone pain, or have low blood cell counts. Spotting it early is key to helping patients start treatment ASAP before complications arise. #wordle #wordlechallenge
