@BothersBar I remember working with Colin on the Lakeside darts coverage more than a decade ago, and he was so genuinely enthusiastic about Countdown. The perfect host and a fine permanent appointment.

@Anthony_Etherin Belated thanks! This is very cool 😊

@sewateruk Good morning! Quick question in light of the #hosepipeban: why is it not permissible to use a hose to refill a children's paddling pool when it *is* permissible to refill a hot tub? That stinks of elitism – or a wealthy bigwig at SE Water looking after their own needs!

@valleypress Best wishes, Jamie, at the end of this chapter of your own story. From “Crispy” 🙂

@ColinMurray @susie_dent @RachelRileyRR A few years ago, I was your runner at the Lakeside World Darts, and I fondly remember you in the portacabin office waxing lyrical about your love of Countdown. It's one of my favourite shows and you're not just the presenter it needs, but the one it deserves. Good luck!

@Specsavers I've just seen a complimentary tweet towards you, and it's reminded me I've been meaning to write to you for weeks about how excellent your service has been for me at two different branches. Is there an email address where I can share how happy I was with your team?

@Specsavers Did you hear about the cross-eyed teacher? He couldn't keep control of his pupils.

@hitandhope0 Don't worry – the World Seniors snooker starts on Wednesday! Stephen Hendry, Ken Doherty and Jimmy White amongst others… though probably fewer centuries and less ‘naughty’ snooker than we've enjoyed for the last couple of weeks.

[Chris Philpot @ChrisPhilpot]

@hitandhope0 I had the same dream, except any time the waiter or your dinner guest approached the table I had to write down the exact time of their arrival, down to the second. The bizarre thing is that I had a similar dream about Luca Brecel three years ago… 🤦🏻‍♂️

[Chris Philpot @ChrisPhilpot]

@bmitch53 @BTTFmusical Mine is top of the to-do list after the snooker!

[Chris Philpot @ChrisPhilpot]

@hitandhope0 🤞🏻 He's one of my favourite players on tour and a pleasure to log!

[Chris Philpot @ChrisPhilpot]

@bmitch53 If I hadn't the other day then I would have today! Nothing lasts forever.

Nooo! It all comes to an end. Just too many options, and with hindsight, an apt word on which to end my streak. Ah well! It was fun while it lasted. #wordle

@roxiqt My answer would have been “ready salted crisps or ginger beer, depending on how I'm feeling”. They're rotten things and you have my sympathies!
