@ArchiveWembley @wembleystadium Foyster played in the game when Paul Rideout scored a hat trick. I remember a banner in the crowd; Foyster never Fumbles

@whimbrelgirl @oldpicposter @transnouveau The Jacy cinema became a church. I remember being taken there when I was little. Think it might be at the bottom left of the photo, when it was still a cinema

RIP Brian Glanville, one of the great football writers. I was given this book on my ninth birthday and have read it again and again

Great win for Liverpool in the #UCL but the highlight was the bloke right behind the commentary box singing all the songs

@ellygriffiths @QuercusBooks I’ve been looking forward to reading it for ages. And I do like an Old Fashioned!

[Buskins @BookshopMike]

Many thanks to @QuercusBooks for this much anticipated proof. I was hoping for a copy but I didn’t expect my favourite cocktail and some everlasting ice! @ellygriffiths #TheFrozenPeople

@Smylers2 @GroveBookshop Thanks, we’ll have a look at it tomorrow!

@BookshopMike We popped next door to the tiny St Peter's to see the merman font and got a free masterclass of Orlando De Lassus motets from 3 singers from the Cambridge Early Music Consort. Absolutely breathtaking. They are there each Thursday

@OldFootball11 Three different shirts and a great range of invalid carriages!

Wise words from Sam Rayner of UCL about what bookshops bring us, and the real challenges inherent in running one - Bookshops are bucking the high street trend. There are lots of reasons why https://t.co/rSxMqWUt1j via @ConversationUK

Happy International Left Handers Day to those that... celebrate.
