Comms Director in the film technology world. Don't let on, but I love the countryside way more than movies. And I believe the Olympics should be held annually.

@AmazonMusicUK Sadly, as others have mentioned several times to @AmazonHelp, you have ruined the fundamental user experience. Now a reasonable music app has been rendered utterly unuseable. Want to listen to a specific song and skip past ones you didn't ask for? Good luck with that...

@arthurshackle @paulwaugh Very much alive. And a quick check would have shown he last tweeted only two days ago...

@paulwaugh Late, great? You mean the "very much still with us Smokey Robinson"?

@MotoClark Mazda's been making the Bongo since 1966.

@bensamuelson @PolestarCars Where's the Saint when you need him?

@BritishGame @LNJStokes @GunsOnPegs Great news - and well done. Educating shooting visitors about what best practice looks like on the ground is hugely important work. More power to you.

[Alastair Balmain @AlBalmain]

@MotoClark It's the definitive no-brainer.

Here you go, Monday morning Twitter. Cheer yourself up with a look at the lilies I gave to my wife two weeks ago and still going strong today... #BlueMonday

Love this. I always felt smug parking my old 1973 Lancia Fulvia coupe... much smaller than today's Mini hatchback (significantly less impact protection, too). Automotive innovation should be directed at making cars less flabby and less resource-heavy.

@dwusher Could not agree more, Dean!

If Boris's bike ride a few miles from home is wrong, we should fine all of the 100+ cyclists going through our village out of Basingstoke/Winchester every day as they're all at least 7 miles from home. Or we stop all this puritanical nonsense.

@chrismair Have you considered a goldfish?

The best thing about 2021? No-one can legitimately use the expression "In this unprecedented year...".

I'm getting all nostalgic about those halcyon days when Brexit was the only thing on the news.

I've been able to shop at Tesco, Homebase, Halfords, Wickes, Mole Country Stores, Shell and Pets at Home in the past week - but my children can't go back to school on Monday. #backtoschool

[Alastair Balmain @AlBalmain]

When they said it'll all be over by Christmas, did anyone actually think to ask "Which Christmas?"...

[Alastair Balmain @AlBalmain]

@CA_TimB @Beretta_1526 @GMKLtd Excellent choice.

[Alastair Balmain @AlBalmain]

@jcjeremyhobson Pretty sure I'd rather have the winter wonderland today, instead of this faintly uninspiring morning!
