@DAZNFootball sort out the commentator's microphones at Kidderminster vs Macclesfield, this is dismal

[Chris Watkeys @ChrisWatkeys]

@thesilkmen it seems to have gone quiet on tickets for the Brentford match - do we know when ticket details for non season ticket holders will be announced?

[Chris Watkeys @ChrisWatkeys]

@TransportForWM the 49 bus from Shirley station to Solihull at 6.17am did not show up. I had to get a taxi to make my train. Any comments?

@CanalRiverTrust Hi, does the following mean that Derwent Mouth Lock will now NOT be closed, until further notice?

@Betterhelpers Thanks for your reply

[Chris Watkeys @ChrisWatkeys]

@Betterhelpers there is a fitness class - Group Cycle - at Mile End Park Leisure Centre. It is in the 'Virtual Cycle Studio' - what is that? Do you have pictures or a link?

[Chris Watkeys @ChrisWatkeys]

.@julianknight15 Please support funding for our canals & not the reduction government has announced which could lead to their decline and the eventual closure of some parts of the network. Please speak up for your constituents & #KeepCanalsAlive

[Chris Watkeys @ChrisWatkeys]

@CanalRiverTrust why do you continue to use images of boats in areas where you have now unfairly banned mooring ?

April is 'Stress Awareness Month' - CRT cause huge amounts of stress by threatening boaters' homes for mooring in exactly the area in this photo. Shame on you

[Chris Watkeys @ChrisWatkeys]

@CanalRiverTrust can you explain why you are using pictures of boats in all your promo material whilst at the same time continuing to pursue anti-boater policies? Boats have been banned from mooring at the location shown here; it is now less safe for the public as a direct result

[NBTA London @NbtaLondon]

While @CanalRiverTrust continues to persecute boaters on the River Lee in the name of “safety”, this apparent member of @TheLeaRC is brazenly destroying the means by which people can rescue themselves from the river. Absolutely disgusting.

It's January, that darkest of months, that month bereft of hope.

Why not divert yourself from that small but growing sense of doom by immersing yourself in a wonderfully bright and cheery new short story?

[Chris Watkeys @ChrisWatkeys]

What's that thundering sound?

It appears to be a frenzied throng of publishers stampeding to my door upon hearing that I've churned out a new short story:

@RobbieCumming Coverage in the Guardian https://t.co/wLIcauA93F

[Chris Watkeys @ChrisWatkeys]

@RobbieCumming Hey Robbie, have you heard about the CRT removing hundreds of moorings on the Lee in London? https://t.co/ehzjHrJ21o

[StopTheBoatCull @BoatCull]

We have music & creative acts lined up for the day in celebration of boater culture JOIN US, BOATERS AND TOWPATH WALKERS! #StopTheBoatCull @WeLoveHackney @LondonBoaters @TimeOutLondon @EastLondonRadio @HackneyMuslims @EastLDNtweets @heartofhackney

@sarahelizlamb Hi Sarah, good to meet you at the #stoptheboatcull meeting today - here is the CRT meeting video I mentioned: https://t.co/A6p8zC9ve3

@TravelodgeUK Hi, do the standard double rooms at Birmingham Central Moor Street have baths?

[Chris Watkeys @ChrisWatkeys]

@VisitThanet Hi there. Is the Spitfire & Hurricane Museum still closed?

[Chris Watkeys @ChrisWatkeys]

@Se_Railway Hi. There are no trains listed for Ramsgate > London on 31st August. Can you confirm there are definitely no trains running that day? Both National Rail Enquiries and SE customer services "don't know" and advised me to call each other.

[Loud And Quiet @LoudAndQuietMag]

Balls. Our donate link wasn't working. Hopefully this one does - https://t.co/AG8RM48Ltf Thanks for the tip off @ChrisWatkeys
