@Coops19891 @prodnose Yes, remember now. You’re right. Great show.

[Ian P @IanP01]

@JulianEllacott @prodnose Ah, possibly! I do distinctly recall a sausage sandwich game - think he asked football managers about it when they were interviewed!

@AnnaPalindrome @giftednumber10 True. Easy to forget the war was just 21 years prior - those players would have grown up in the immediate aftermath.

@dcrowleyprod Personally would change Moore to Spy Who Loved Me, Dalton to Living Daylights and Brosnan to Golden Eye. Otherwise sound.

@everymovieplug A great presence, but nobody was as good as this bloke.

Amazon’s delivery dispute page on the “customer care” page is diabolical. No option for “yes, it was delivered but to the wrong sodding address, because that’s not my front door in the photo”. I apparently now have to wait two days to raise a complaint. 😡

@alexwickham @DanielHewittITV This is a fantasy. Most folk don’t want to rejoin the EU once they realise we would rejoin under poorer terms than when we left (e.g. single currency and Schengen Agreement). Also, would the EU be enthusiastic about us rejoining?A Pandora’s Box most people have moved on from.

@jessalinecaine Yes, and also let’s stop calling Cabinet ministers Secretary (Surname). It’s the Secretary of State of whatever. Another Americanism that makes my teeth itch.

@CharlotteCGill Circumstantial evidence at best :) 🐕

@cazjwheeler @joerichlaw Why do a feel like I’ve read a version of this post almost everyday for past six months?

Larry the Cat will have outlasted 5 British PMs. It's time to start asking if the strength and stability we needed has been right in front of us all along.

[Ian P @IanP01]

@mattforde This is a good advice if you're out anywhere in public TBH.

[Ian P @IanP01]

Have no idea if this is true or not, but these sort of things have a habit of backfiring. Voters really don’t like being used in this way.

I am reliably informed that Clive Lewis will resign his seat to allow Andy Burnham a return to Westminster. The MP for Norwich spoke with Burnham this evening, following Angela Rayner’s statement. It remains unclear whether the Manchester Mayor would wish to stand in Norwich. Further updates on this are expected over the course of the week.

[Ian P @IanP01]

Angela Rayner about to release a statement apparently. Looks like the tectonic plates are shifting. 👀

@CharlotteCGill Amelda - our next prime minister. May she free Palestine 🥰

My phone updated itself last night and now I have to scan my credit card or driver’s license to continue using it due to ”UK laws”. WTF?

@For_Film_Fans This was a masterclass intro. Without a single word you learnt who these characters were, and their backstory in the space of about 2 minutes.
