    A date for your diaries. 2028.

    Best Western theme music - The Big Country

    Haven't seen this in ages, and it's on today. Worth it just for the overwrought theme music by Jerome Moross.

    £8m in funding for Green Hydrogen transport projects? Not quite what it seems, Ben.

    Interesting to compare the BBC release (no doubt there was a hi vis photo to go with it): https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1d7jj1p4ero With the NE Bylines article, which digs deeper. Don't hold your breath on this one. https://northeastbylines.co.uk/houchens-hydrogen-hype/

    Matt Vickers MP

    Another one examined by NE Bylines and found to be lacking in basic competence, as well as dishonest. https://northeastbylines.co.uk/matt-vickers-mp-stocktons-parmo-populist/

    Dehenna Davison MP

    Another example of someone shamelessly using politics as a form of showbiz. Self-promotion doesn't even begin to describe it. NE Bylines strike again. https://northeastbylines.co.uk/dehenna-davison-mp-what-happened/

    Ben Houchen and Green Steel

    Wasn't there a thread about this earlier? Or maybe I'm confusing it with the Gazette PR job. Anyway, NE Bylines are once again on the case. https://northeastbylines.co.uk/ben-houchen-and-his-lucky-green-leprechauns/

    Football today

    Stockton Town vs Scarborough 3pm today in a pre-season friendly. Good value for those in need of a footy fix. I'll be keeping an eye on the test match and trying to avoid Tour de France spoilers.

    Teesside Freeport

    How's this little project progressing? North East Bylines take a peek, and they're not convinced: https://northeastbylines.co.uk/12-reasons-why-teesside-freeport-is-dead-on-arrival/

    Ben Houchen's green con

    Another article from North East Bylines, this time investigating Big Ben's devotion to spurious green causes. Obligatory hi vis and hard hat photo. https://northeastbylines.co.uk/the-green-con-of-ben-houchens-emerald-city/

    North East Bylines: rail travel in Teesside

    They've got some clear ideas here about improving the local network. And it needn't cost the earth, just a billion or so. https://northeastbylines.co.uk/tees-valley-rail-beyond-2024/

    Ruby Wedding celebration

    Could The Board suggest anywhere suitable in Stockton/Boro for a buffet lunch? I'm a bit out of touch and just starting to Google.

    Help needed- ask the FMTTM family.

    I'm trying to find a shop or firm in or around Guisborough/Great Ayton to deliver a hamper to a farm up that way. Does anyone have any suggestions please? Thanks in advance.

    Friday beer and music thread. Where's Wee Gord?

    In his absence I'll start by drinking Punk IPA and playing HMHB.
