Hello world.

@smacca1975 @TobyMckimm Hi mate - sorry to hear this. I went down to Tooting last Sat and watched Toby keep a clean sheet and secure a spot in the play offs. He’ll be a big miss for them but will be back soon and hopefully playing for Tooting at a higher level 👍🏻

@TallinGrizzly @suthersuk @CAFCWomen Well deserved recognition for you both. Congrats Keith 👏🏻

1970 Brazil in 4K is quite the experience. 🇧🇷

My dad Brian Rootes worked on The Bill for many years - I’ve just found this page from a 1995 script which I thought might be of interest.

@IllegibleMe @Bob_Fischer He piled up stuff outside that shop front more times than he cared to remember

Merry Christmas from Noel Edmonds and Feargal Sharkey.

I remember tuning in on Christmas morning as an 11 year old, and being disappointed not to catch a sight of dad, but he claimed 12 hours work at triple time which came a some consolation to mum and my brother who did well for presents that year.

Happy Christmas everyone!

40 Christmases ago, my dad Brian, who was a BBC Production Operative, missed the unwrapping of presents and his turkey dinner as he was aboard a 747 flying low over the UK for Noel Edmonds’ Live Live Christmas Breakfast Show which was aired on Christmas Day morning.

[Michael Rootes @MichaelRootes]

The plane flew at a low altitude of 2,500 ft so the live links would work, and it was dramatically struck by lightning which you would expect to dampen the on-flight festivities for a while, though dad said the kids were so loud throughout you wonder if they even noticed.

@WalksLulu @KitNerdUK Legend thank you!

[Michael Rootes @MichaelRootes]

@WalksLulu @KitNerdUK I have no idea sorry. Enjoyed my time at Leatherhead and I came down to watch the recent win over Hanworth Villa. Great to see the club in such good shape

[Michael Rootes @MichaelRootes]

@WalksLulu @KitNerdUK No worries - I wore that back in the 1999/00 season
