@Bill_Linnane Where are the Christmas cakes and hot cross buns Bill?

@Bill_Linnane No mate, it’s been on the market for yonks, and absolutely no bidders …

As a child I held Sir Gary Sober’s hand when he turned out for the International Cavaliers at (I think) Stratford Upon Avon. What I remember most is the kindness and warmth towards a very overwhelmed and frightened little boy. #garysobers #cricket

In the Oval Pavillion a day of heavy winter coats, lacy tops, scarves, bobble hats, light jackets (me), sunglasses, shorts, Berghaus anoraks, Panamas, fingerless gloves, sleeveless t-shirts, opened-toed sandals and ski-boots. No one got it right #theoval

Ive been trying to kick the habit for years … but its so hard. Like the poem says ‘They fuck you up, your mum and dad’. But even if I only try and listen to The Archers once or twice a fortnight I have one burning question: why is Tom Archer such a dick? #thearchers

@TheRealJamieKay Jamie, it’s mince and potatoes, or in the North British vernacular, mince and tatties … delicious either way!

@GilesMacDonogh I always wanted one of these. Wasn’t there a half-timbered Mini too?
