I love Twitter because everyone's always polite and no one ever takes anything you say literally, never.

This week on my podcast I'm joined by @MarinaPurkiss & @jemmaforte as we discuss many fascinating topics PLUS an exclusive peak at Mike Concrete's sacking video.

@IainDale The term ‘batters’ was officially adopted by the MCC in September 2021 and was in general use much earlier. Have we really got to the stage when English broadcasters are unaware of the most basic cricketing term? What’s become of this country? It’s Woke gone mad.

@GeoffNorcott Or his son becomes one and at the start of every shift he says ‘My father was a Prime Minister’.

[Mark Steel @mrmarksteel]

@HLTCO Wonderful he is.

I would like to join in demanding that the country that is being bombed indiscriminately, doesn’t engage in the unforgivable practice of bombing indiscriminately, which is never justified which is why we must stand by our allies as they bomb indiscriminately.

[Mark Steel @mrmarksteel]

Well I’m having a rum

[Mark Steel @mrmarksteel]

@GeoffNorcott It’s all they have. They’re like an abusive bloke when their wife threatens to leave, yelling ‘you’ll be nothing without me’.

[Mark Steel @mrmarksteel]

@bonettpa Sounds like you’re breezing through it.

[Mark Steel @mrmarksteel]

I’m hearing Crystal Palace have sold their goalposts to Brentford as they were out of contract at the end of the season. And the eagle has gone to Fulham, though as replacement we have got a chaffinch on loan from QPR.

[Mark Steel @mrmarksteel]

After watching us lose again, I’m not sure who’s going downhill the quickest from self-inflicted pottyness out of Palace and the Labour Party.

[Mark Steel @mrmarksteel]

@JohnApplebyLD Hee hee

[Mark Steel @mrmarksteel]

I’m slightly worried that Crystal Palace could currently be described as a failed state and we could get Donald Trump sending marines here to manage us for the game against Chelsea.

[Mark Steel @mrmarksteel]

It’s the next day and I’m getting some perspective on Palace’s defeat, and I feel we were so awful that the Macclesfield players should all be fined for not winning by at least four goals.

[Mark Steel @mrmarksteel]

@kevinhunterday I think we’re missing Joel Ward’s prayers.

[Mark Steel @mrmarksteel]

@Alitheeagle1 Wonderful!!!!!

[Mark Steel @mrmarksteel]

Had to wait for that brilliant Gary Anderson darts match to finish, before popping to Selhurst Park for Palace v Tottenham. I know I’m over-doing it but I’ve always been a high achiever.

[Mark Steel @mrmarksteel]

If England want to be really classy, they’ll bat the next 3 days for 5 runs to get a draw.

[Mark Steel @mrmarksteel]

This Test Match is ridiculous. At least one England player will use a tortoise as a bat. And there will be five overs underwater.
