@BDSixsmith The idea of a battle where only one side is invited is endearingly Carrollian.

@SteveE32042299 @Theleaguemag I celebrated by watching Each Day Despairing my favourite feel good film.

@GBbooze The chap that owns this establishment Guy something recently moved next to me in Compton Abbas.
A rum sort of cove.
I believe he made his money in the Rotherhithe scrap metal business.

@carl_thompson70 "Ere Darren you see that group on the poster the Tubes, they got a song called White Punks on Dope.
Look Gary I told you right we`re going to see Sir Coxsone"

@Paul_Heron_ The GDR state tourism agency which arranged tours by western visitors discouraged visits to the popular nudist beaches on the Baltic.
Much to the disappointment of my form master Doug Wifffen.

@skulthorp We had a chap called Sculthorp in my year at Sherborne.
Son of a Barley Sugar magnate from Accrington.
We used to show him pictures of Hylda Baker and say "That`s your mum that is".
I have grown out of sort of thing now.

@admcollingwood I trust you will remain steadfast in your admiration of the Ukrainians as a martial race.

@Paul_Heron_ Tito had a great admiration for the English arising from his fruitful encounter with Evelyn Waugh and Randolph Churchill.

@hellothisisivan @CuriousUkTelly What else is in this boxset and what is it called?
I think I need to invest in a Blu Ray player!

@CharlieFBBaker1 Look on Martins blog for his piece on Rodney Coe`s list of basic unspoilt pubs and his piece on rural pubs in Herefordshire.

@OldRoberts953 Gareth is the type of satirist who would flourish in a totalitarian regime of any colour.
in another time and place he would have been a star contributor to Krokodil.

@hellothisisivan Is this on BFI Player?
Sounds right up my Stryd.

@carl_thompson70 Think about poor Unlucky Alf who could not afford the steam train fare.

@ReynoldsArthur My grand niece Agripina has taken on the lease of a flat roofed council estate pub in Yeovil.
She is firmly of the opinion that Carling Black Label and Bull Terriers represent the true culture of working people in the English Countryside.

@skulthorp Some of your confreres seem protected by their sub Waugh/Elliott religiosity.
Others are enthusiastic combatants in every culture war kerfuffle.
You seem to be a more liminal case and unsure of your place in this milieu.
Who do you want to be?
Dominic Sandbrook? Douglas Murray?

[Sir Austen Cambridge MC KC WC @Austencambridge]

@skulthorp Fred old chap
May I enquire as to the causes of this anhedonia?
A life as the purveyor of mordantly cynical observations verging on the ghoulish and limited to a narrow range of topics which depend on the caprices of patrons cannot be easy.

[Sir Austen Cambridge MC KC WC @Austencambridge]

@Paul_Heron_ This regrettable tendency began when the Portsmouth Sinfonietta were forced to record 20 Classic Rock Classics in 1978.

[Sir Austen Cambridge MC KC WC @Austencambridge]

@subyroy @theiaincameron To what?

[Sir Austen Cambridge MC KC WC @Austencambridge]

@DAaronovitch @Alistair1965 I would advocate for the Green Party to adopt the Composite Resolution which served the Labour Party so well for so many years.
Either that or a wholehearted move to Democratic Centralism.
