@ruskin147 Oh big big phew!

[Anne Oxborough @OxboroughAnne]

@sociabledog @fedupofSuffolk Genuine question - what’s the advantage of long line over retracting/extending lead?

@ruskin147 How lovely that she stops barking. My terrier doesn’t!

@VikingBooks @richardosman @bookpage On holiday in Corfu - this book is by some distance the most popular book being read on the beach.

@campbellclaret The people who go to lit festivals- and who go to an Alastair Campbell event - are bound to be mostly left or central in their leanings. But as a left winger living near Exeter - God I hope you’re right.

@VictoriaCoren Perfect - thanks for sharing

@jennyeclair Someone stole my melodically from inside my desk. I was devastated

@DebbieElse1 @katemosse Well done and quite right. Interviewing you was a privilege- and your work ethic (and the talent ) is astonishing.

@NReclining @jordanbpeterson @caitlinmoran I mean the comment by Event Horizon. Pete Paphides is a lovely guy

[Anne Oxborough @OxboroughAnne]

@NReclining @jordanbpeterson @caitlinmoran What a mean comment.

‘This summer about 54,000 students are sitting an A-level in English, down 40% from just under 90,000 in 2012’
No good will come of it!!!

@OldFortunatus @LRB A ‘gracious’ reaction from ES too

[Anne Oxborough @OxboroughAnne]

@branwenjeffreys There’s huge irony that a school is branded Inadequate largely on a Safeguarding issue, which may well have been a paper error (easy to spot for a triumphant inspector) and yet the H&S of Head and staff on receiving such a damning one word label is ignored.

@jennyeclair Nicely and neatly put

[Anne Oxborough @OxboroughAnne]

@VictoriaCoren @BBCTwo Re the egg - total and utter sympathy- but not empathy..as yet

[Anne Oxborough @OxboroughAnne]

@ruskin147 Completely tho metaphorically lifts the heart

[Anne Oxborough @OxboroughAnne]

@bardfilm @OldFortunatus Reading on a book - I hope

[Anne Oxborough @OxboroughAnne]

@OldFortunatus Wonderful book. Informs and entertains - perfect.

[Anne Oxborough @OxboroughAnne]

@Humanists_UK @OnlyConnectQuiz @VictoriaCoren It was a joke (tho essentially true) for God’s sake…or not

@RichardEGrant @caitlinmoran It was so moving I bought myself the Chopin E Minor music as it’s a relatively easy piece to play - but putting feeling into each chord is vital and not so easy. Your words inspired me - and made me cry. Thank you.
