Cathedral Volunteer Verger, Glamorgan cricket supporter and one time political aide. Going boldly. Somewhere... All views mine.

@mrrobosborne Will anybody ask Mike Hedges what he thinks about it all?

[Crispin John @CrispinJohn]

@GlamCricket This is why we absolutely deserve to be in the top flight. Fantastic perfomance all round. An epic match. 😍

[Crispin John @CrispinJohn]

@nickwebb2017 @BBCSport Brilliant commentary throughout the day, thank you Nick. Although at tea I have no fingernails left. Fantastic showing by both teams.

[Crispin John @CrispinJohn]

@robphillipshere @GlamCricket Thank goodness for a momentary respite with the tea break. I haven't got any fingernails left.... 🤩

[Crispin John @CrispinJohn]

@tfwrail Thanks so much for coming back to me, that's very helpful and most kind. 👍

[Crispin John @CrispinJohn]

@tfwrail any idea when the lift on Platform 8 at CDF will be back up and running, please? There wasn't anyone around earlier to ask for help and it must have been about a week now? 🤷‍♂️

[Crispin John @CrispinJohn]

@tfwrail Thanks so much. I managed with a bit of a struggle but would be good to know.

@HuwDavies1998 Amazing how a Standards report gets "leaked' when it's about someone the establishment might not get on with. If it's the other way round, it gets wrapped up in cotton wool. Anyone would think they have an agenda...

[Crispin John @CrispinJohn]

Wouldn't make a bit of difference. Most previous anti-devolution voters have become accustomed to the norm and many remaining devo-sceptics don't feel strongly enough to turn up and vote in an election.

Reform not ruling out scrapping Senedd, MS says https://t.co/DCdbu2yfZC

@BethRigby Reform UK spinners will be incandescent with rage as the Starmer reshuffle will undoubtedly knock Farage's conference keynote speech way down the news cycle.

@nickwebb2017 Just up the road at Llandaff Cathedral, the sky has turned awfully grey. I'm going to put a word in with the boss...

[Crispin John @CrispinJohn]

@tfwrail Since you've slashed the services from HHL, residents are now getting bombarded with train horns. I get safety, but the regulations don't support excessive non-emergency use in built-up areas. What next in your brilliant plans to generally annoy people?

[Crispin John @CrispinJohn]

@transport_wales This makes no sense. In what way are Lisvane and Llanishen "connected to" the Coryton line? So now you are going to run fast trains bypassing Cardiff suburbs instead of there being a strong possibility the train from Heath will be cancelled, you are now virtually guaranteeing it!

[Crispin John @CrispinJohn]

@Cardiffbus Amazingly poor, regulating a service when the preceeding one has failed, when there is only one bus every 30 mins anyway. Presumably this also explains why the next service is also very late and absolutely jam packed. This must be one of the worst performing routes in the city.

[Crispin John @CrispinJohn]

Morning @Cardiffbus Any idea what's happened with the inbound 28/29s? Looks like two consecutive services have been cancelled. Not very good for people who rely on the bus to get about.

[Crispin John @CrispinJohn]

@christiancalgie He won't be saying that when someone reminds him about the seats and cash they may well end up with after the next Welsh Senedd elections...

[Crispin John @CrispinJohn]

@christiancalgie Not the caption I was expecting tbf....

[Crispin John @CrispinJohn]

@ScholarPriest Happened to me 20 years ago and it broke me. The result, 20 years of wasted lay ministry, let alone what the questions about what might have been. Fortunate to be back in a cassock now at Llandaff. Would I go through discernment again? No, probably not. That's the tragic reality.

[Crispin John @CrispinJohn]

@Josie_Godfrey Well, it's a good excuse for smoking the place out with incense! I see your pigeon, and raise you a magpie, as locked in at Llandaff the other day.... I was not on duty.... Good luck!

[Crispin John @CrispinJohn]

Cleaned this splendid C16 tomb at the Cathedral today. Found remnants of the original 1540ish paint, and a shard of Victorian stained glass, blown out in 1941, hidden up Lady Matthew's sleeve. Not sure which I am more astonished by. Over 400 years of history, in a mere dusting.
