@ArthurVyvan @MannGeorgia @BBCRadio3 Suggest you buy a soundtrack album and listen to the REAL versions not those with added unnecessary 'twiddly bits'!

@kimleadbeater You mention in a BBC article about democracy. MP's voting based on their own opinions without finding out what their constituents think isn't democracy it's dictatorship. They are saying 'We know better than you so shut up and do what you are told!'

#bbccricket Congratulations to Worcestershire on winning. I’m ignoring the made up figure for their target as only someone high on drugs could image it’s fair to expect them to score sixty more than the other team did in the same number of overs!

@blackburnbusco How about recruiting some software engineers to fix the abomination you call an app. It’s obvious that it runs inside an iOS or Android wrapper not natively as it doesn’t store tickets locally. Makes it useless in rural areas or in town when the phone company data link is down.

@burnleybuses That's one heck of a diversion, I think you mean the M65!

#bbcf1 Just noticed the error at 06:38 where you say Michael Schumacher had 6 poles but give 8 years! 6 is how many times he won, not poles as he didn’t win from the first two poles. Martyn Clapham

@raibgovuk Reading the report and there appears to be a discrepancy on page 24 of the PDF version. Figure 9 shows the connection from the NR pump to the permanent pipe going via the pump house, the third bullet point of paragraph 61 implies a direct connection.

@BenHouchen One way to make us better off is to make a rule that unless the winning candidate in mayoral elections gets the vote of 30% of the electorate ( not those who turn out ) the post is deemed to be unwanted by the public and abolished. Would save millions each year!

@BBCBreaking Those looking for the ex-president may want to check Flightradar24 as it shows a Syrian flight from Damascus to near an airbase near Homs and an Iranian flight from Tehran and back that stayed in the same area for quite a while. Coincidence, I don’t think so! 😀

@kitmalthouse What do your constituents think of this? One assumes that you will do your primary duty as an MP and vote in accordance with THEIR opinions and NOT your own!

@DonnaWarburton1 So you would be happy for the age that offenders have to attend adult courts to be lowered to 16 then? If someone is mature enough to make decisions that affect thousands of others, they are mature enough to take the FULL consequences of their own actions.

[Martyn Clapham @Pendlemac]

@AnnieBentley90 @BBCRadioStoke No point. The idiots would just ignore that as well. Symptom of the modern age, people are now taught from school age that actions don’t have consequences so don’t think they have to use their brains to keep themselves safe.

@INDYNXT @NashvilleSuperS @17LouisFoster In that case, why is the guy 16th in the overall points starting in fourth? Also wish you used the second practice times for the order so that Jamie was in front of the guy whose lousy driving knocked her out of the race the other week.

@VirginRadioUK @TheAntonDuBeke Is Chris aware that the app he is plugging, while free to the public, costs corporate users including the emergency services a subscription each year. This would be better spent on people and equipment given that most mobile devices have GPS built-in and using it is free to all.

@SianWeather Typical journo. Post something without checking the facts. The rest of the customers were there for a quiet meal when those divots decided to disturb things. They would have been told to stop whichever language they were singing in!

@brobson_sport F1 was never meant to be a team sport, it was created to find the best driver. Just because some idiot added a manufacturers title several years later does not make team orders legitimate!

[Martyn Clapham @Pendlemac]

@HarryScarfe22 @NikolasPapathe2 @McLarenF1 So Lando suffers because McLaren stuffed up the other pit stop? Yeah, really fair. He needs to find a team that doesn’t fix races.

[Martyn Clapham @Pendlemac]

@ZulTheBear @McLarenF1 What team game? F1 is all about best DRIVER!

[Martyn Clapham @Pendlemac]

@McLarenF1 Big fine and massive points deduction due for race fixing! The drivers championship is most important. Manufactures championship should not exist as F1 is supposed to be about the best driver!

@ReadReceiptOnX @TNLUK @BrainyNewSexySH There is a LOT of stuff between your device and the Lottery servers. Could be your ISP or any of the links. Retrying will make the routing software try sending the data a different way, so actually useful.
