I’ve written a novel. ‘“Not-something” has re-written the rules of science fiction comedy’, said absolutely no-one. Paperback and hardback coming soon. https://t.co/m6zRhDqNV9

@RyanSoapKing25 So much better - proper chefs judging - gone are the cliches - big improvement

@MrJamesCosgrove @ITVRugby Get used to it - sadly the ad world is convinced ‘it’s the future’

Pitch-side punditry just doesn’t work. It’s so obviously too loud and distracting. Don’t kid yourself it adds atmosphere tv producers - it’s crap tv - I can’t bloody hear #GuinnessM6N

@jdpoc @ChrisMasonBBC Well, I don’t know him well but I knew him a bit at the BBC - he’s just a lovely guy - v smart - and nice to deal with - so that’s a first hand experience rather than the bollocks you talk.

THE NIGHT SKY ON MARS LOOKS INSANE

Imagine standing on Martian soil under a sky so dense with stars it feels unreal.

That’s the view - no atmosphere to blur it, no city lights to drown it out.

How long until we’re the ones under that sky?

@dhruv_rathee It was grounded after the battery fires. It may have NOTHING to do with this awful accident but it is a fact. I know because I covered the story as the BBC’s transport correspondent. They fixed the issue by putting the batteries in fire proof boxes.

@airmainengineer Hurricane, surely?

@DirtyLyle It’s like he’s read, “how to speak like a commentator” - good knowledge, zero authenticity.

[Richard Westcott @BBCwestcott]

@pistol147 On another note, fantastic commentary analysis Mark. I learned a lot about modern tactics/mindset. And a few good gags.

@WeahsCousin Forget the commentators - the camerawork was ABYSMAL - missing key moments, losing the ball, no replays of key things, did Rory clip the top of the fairway bunker of not, no idea because they missed it. Open coverage is in another league compared to Masters. Shocking and shite.
