Note: The question wasn't 'In the most commercially available set of dominoes...', which would probably be the double six version, but 'the most commonly used set of dominoes', which Wiki suggests is both the six and nine versions of the game.

[Ian Thompson @IanThompsonUK]

Not sure I agree with one of the answers on today's Egg Heads. Q. In the most commonly used set of dominoes, what is the greatest, total number of pips or spots on a single domino? A. 18 (Double 9). This was called incorrect by @theJeremyVine Thoughts? #Dominoes #EggHeads

@YorkCastle It's a reclining figure by Henry Moore (or should that me 'ye old reclining figure'? Who cares lol).

You know it's a good book when you get up at 5.45am to rattle off a few chapters before starting work! I think I'll be sad to get to the end tbh. #TheThursdayMurderClub

@RealTimBooth I nearly died when you walked up to me in Sheffield back in Dec 2016. I've still not washed my right hand. Lol. x

[Ian Thompson @IanThompsonUK]

@RealTimBooth OMG, when? Please, please, please can you sing 'She's a Star' for my long suffering girly? x

Having something to believe in is more important than fame, adulation and trophies. That's what the England team means to me and I'm going to keep on believing. Respect to each and every one of you. @England #proudtobeenglish

Parkgate's (Rotherham) very own partial solar eclipse. @Hudsonweather Ok, technically it was a UK wide event but I was deffo stood in my garden when I took them. Lol. #solareclipse2021 #3SIXTY5Photography

@rotherhamtiser Yet they approved plans on Westfield Road, Parkgate, leading to extensive flooding and property damage. I wonder if any of those voting live in those lovely big houses?

[Ian Thompson @IanThompsonUK]

@TogetherHousing @RMBCPress @rotherhamtiser @JohnHealey_MP AND, might I remind you that we're living in a national lockdown due to the COVID situation. The only place of safety, 'should' be our homes. A safe, stress free sanctuary from nightmare. Not somewhere where we sit awake at night worrying about the damage the rain will bring.

[Ian Thompson @IanThompsonUK]

I'm sad and angry to learn that one of my neighbours, and close friends, was flooded again last night because @TogetherHousing have failed to complete remedial work on their housing development in Parkgate, which was built without adequate drainage. @RMBCPress @rotherhamtiser

[Ian Thompson @IanThompsonUK]

@TogetherHousing @RMBCPress @rotherhamtiser Maybe @JohnHealey_MP should get involved and protect his constituents. You can't continue to build new houses and sacrifice the homes of others. The fear of flooding is cemented in this small community because of the contractors willingness to cut corners.

In these shitty times it's the little things that matter. Take the young lad on the green bin collection round this morning. My bin had disappeared so he left his station to find it for me with a smile on his face and time to have a little banter. #ExcellentService @RMBCPress

@MattHancock Is the following advice correct: If you develop new symptoms within 6 weeks of a positive test you do not need to be retested or if your household member develops symptoms and/or they test positive you can continue working and do not need to self-isolate again.
