Bertie Wooster's account of Boat Race Night - Fact or Fiction ? https://t.co/4jyhV4aDkk

@Vpedrosa @JohannaTC Anthony Burgess himself used to regularly recommend this little-known work of genius which being a comic novel was automatically underrated.

@TSnooker102 @M18Snooker @fouldsy147 You can’t compare statistics between eras. You know how many centuries Ray Reardon made in his entire pro career ? 54. Alex Higgins made 86.

[Clive Beautyman @ACBHammersmith]

@Thedude72339515 @TheRealJimmyM @GWSnookerTips Alex Higgins only made 86 centuries in pro tournaments in his entire career. Ray Reardon made 53.

Interested to see @SimonCallow mention Sacha Guitry in The Times - a largely forgotten playwright in UK. I wrote a bit about him here: https://t.co/TUvONYXWXK

@The_R_a_v_e_n Ref needs to stop it -Moody taking too much punishment.

@BrigadierBurma @NeroWolfePack Robert Conrad was a different actor whose real name was Conrad Robert Falk not to be confused with Peter Michael Falk who played the detective Columbo.

@TSnooker102 Class of 92 star Stephen Lee’s ban runs out in October this year. Wonder if he’ll return for the Seniors or exhibitions.

[Clive Beautyman @ACBHammersmith]

@jonboy_avfc @WeAreWST @mrqbingo I think he’s even less likely to win anything with Ebdon sitting there in his big jumper taking notes the whole time. I guess Selby for the Masters at this point.

[Clive Beautyman @ACBHammersmith]

@jonboy_avfc @WeAreWST @mrqbingo I take your point but even to compare them flatters Lisowski. White lacked that final 1% sure, but Lisowski lacks about 10%, they are in a different league.

[Clive Beautyman @ACBHammersmith]

@jonboy_avfc @WeAreWST @mrqbingo Bit harsh. White won 10 ranking events including the UK and Masters. That puts him 11th on the all-time list. He reached 6 World finals. Lisowski has won no ranking events (6 finals) and his best in the Worlds is QF. "Failing" at the Worlds is not like failing in routine events

@StuartHumphryes Me too. The images look even better on the printed page than on screen. Thanks for your hard work producing it.

[Clive Beautyman @ACBHammersmith]

@patrick_kidd No. But quite a poor effort presided over by William Bull MP in Hammersmith for the 1902 coronation.

@JonnElledge If you rotate Norway around Oslo it stretches down to Milan.

@RealPaulPutner Anyone offered Patrick Mower yet ? I see he's 84. Jesu, the days that we have seen.

[Clive Beautyman @ACBHammersmith]

@RealPaulPutner @Leitmotifferent https://t.co/eLLKKkMHzy I wrote about that here. Muir & Norden gave their old scripts to Talbot Rothwell to help him out. First Caesar to say the line on radio was Dick Bentley (according to Muir) or Jimmy Edwards (according to Norden).

@dli_odoir @Doctor_J_ @DocRods He did. Jerome Garfunkel.

@richardwharvey Thanks for this lecture and your past Gresham lectures which were thought-provoking and entertaining - I saw them all one way or another. Pleased to see Simon Thurley appear as a deus ex machina to thank you !

[Clive Beautyman @ACBHammersmith]

@rickblackman01 Actually I still have the programme for Ducking Out. You can have it if you want, adds a bit of interest to the plaque. DM me your address if interested.

[Clive Beautyman @ACBHammersmith]

@rickblackman01 I saw him in Ducking Out, 1982. Kevin “Curly Watts” Kennedy was in it too.
