I think in a court of law, I could prove that scoring a last min winner to win the league … that it was probably not excessive.

The most fantastic piece of music. It always reminds me of Gazza in Italia 1990. And of my Dad. And of having this as the first dance at our wedding. Very happy memories.

[Mark Knopfler @MarkKnopfler]

'Going Home (Theme From Local Hero)' has been synonymous with the Great North Run since the 1990s as its official theme song. This year's coverage was soundtracked by Mark Knopfler's Guitar Heroes special recording of the track.

A fabulous vote of thanks from Kevin Sinfield.

[University of Leeds @UniversityLeeds]

A passionate fundraiser, he has raised more than £15 million for charitable causes through marathons and endurance challenges inspired by his friend and former teammate Rob Burrow, who sadly died this year.

Watch an extract from his vote of thanks 👇

The happiest memories watching this with my Dad.

Such sad news about Rob Burrow. A true Leeds legend.

[Catherine Dickson @DuchessNutkins]

@stu6wright I consider this an unacceptable level of shithousery!!

[Martin Garrity @mjgarrity72]

It’s the hope that kills you. We all knew how it was going to end. That’s #lufc for you.

@WalkerLabyrinth @Barlick_CofE This is where I was confirmed. My parents still live nearby.

Congratulations @chris_kammy Best of Wakey!

Delighted 🤩 Honoured, and it’s my great pleasure to accept this award. Thank you Wakefield 🥳 Means so much more than just being able to take this lot 🐑 to the Town Hall 😂🤣

I put this question to darts legend Bobby George this week. He replied "tiddly winks is a sport". But this is gold ⬇️

[Catherine Dickson @DuchessNutkins]

Ah, this is really sad news. Loved Matthew Perry as Chandler.

It's quite a relief to know I'm not alone in feeling this! This is a great read.

I’ve written a piece on holiday emotions, what to call them, and why they’re not always rays of sunshine. https://t.co/rFCp6fv635

So true about the bits and bobs! These comments made me laugh out loud!!

[Catherine Dickson @DuchessNutkins]

I love this and hope my daughter leaving year 6 in a few weeks time follows this brilliant advice.

As requested, this is the letter Laura wrote for the @BarrowfordHead Yr6 leavers. She was a wise old thing and we miss her every minute ❤️

The start of Italia 90 and the BBC give us one of the greatest World Cup Theme Tunes of all time.
Great Memories!

@shitscaredmum @ladbible @BrainTumourOrg @ourbrainbank @Lionesses @Chloe_Kelly98 That last sentence is so powerful and should make us all reflect. She's amazing. Sending Laura and her family so much love.

I absolutely love this music and watching these beautiful boys dance so was delighted when Hamza Yassin danced an equally fabulous dance to the same music last week on Strictly. I picked a good week to tune in for the first time this series! https://t.co/DCHz1nY9XP
