@brianmoore666 Moore-O. I loved you when you were snarling at the French front row…..and I love you now!

[Tom Turner @TomTurnerro]

@willgkelleher @TimesSport 75 minutes waiting in the ‘queue’ and then they ran out of beer 15 mins before the half!🙄

Marseiile, did RWC take u by surprise? #rwc23 # ridiculous lines

[Tom Turner @TomTurnerro]

@venkyganesan And of course Kipling would have been proud…

[Tom Turner @TomTurnerro]

@venkyganesan I thought exactly the same thing. He’s not always my fav character but he was a total class act in defeat (and only barely defeated - what a tennis player!)

[Tom Turner @TomTurnerro]

@AndrewGourdie I don’t normally respond to nonsense on social media, but why should @SamCane7 ever feel the need to apologize for tripping a pitch invader. Get a grip people! Good on you Sam, I heard you played a blinder too.

[Tom Turner @TomTurnerro]

@brianmoore666 Good men to be with in a tight spot, whether that’s on the pitch or in a dodgy bar on Leeson Street! Miss watching them play.

After 12 days in and out of Turkish and Greek airports, @BostonLogan airport is far and away the worst baggage system of them all!

@SBarnesRugby @thetimes @SBarnesRugby I thought your Farrell v Smith article was right on. Reminds me of a similar debate from 30 years ago about an incumbent #10 and the ‘maverick’ fly half some of us wanted to see given his fair shake :-)

[Tom Turner @TomTurnerro]

@Peggynoonannyc @Peggynoonannyc you speak as beautifully, and truthfully, as you write.

[Tom Turner @TomTurnerro]

@Peggynoonannyc Thank you @Peggynoonannyc you captured her perfectly. Your words help to explain the sense of loss I feel today.

[David Polansky @polanskydj]

I don’t wish to sound apocalyptic about this, but one has the sense that at present our society is simultaneously characterized by wildly disproportionate accountability for trivial transgressions and zero accountability for profound institutional failure.

[March For Our Lives @AMarch4OurLives]

Together, we rose up 4 years ago. 1 million of us demanded change. We built a movement. We voted for new leaders.

And the gun deaths increased.

Now is the moment we march again. Can we count on you to be there June 11?

Text MARCH to 954-954 to RSVP and learn more.

A reminder that in close to six months it will be the 10-year anniversary of the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting and since that day Congress has not passed a single piece of gun control legislation.

[Tom Turner @TomTurnerro]

@venkyganesan It’s like you showing up to an East Coast Board Meeting 😃. Made my afternoon!

[Tom Turner @TomTurnerro]

@adrianmckinty I’m at 3 too and I think they’ve nailed it. Jackson Lamb and Di Tavener casting is amazing (particularly Kristen Scott Thomas!).

[Tom Turner @TomTurnerro]

@TCITourism you need to have people down at @plsairport explaining what is going on. If you have a capacity issue at your airport, get in front of it. Instead you have 100s of frustrated people who are having their last experience of your island be hectic and stressful

[Tom Turner @TomTurnerro]

@plsairport @TCITourism you have a beautiful island, with lovely people, but this is a horrible last experience for someone leaving your island. No communication about why we are standing in line for hours

[Tom Turner @TomTurnerro]

@plsairport you have to find a way to fix the mayhem! At least have clear communication about what people should expect!!😳

@tjobbe @londonirish @ExeterChiefs @davidflatman Watching in the US on Peacock

[Tom Turner @TomTurnerro]

Watching @londonirish play @ExeterChiefs (great game) and I’m amazed by @davidflatman ‘s ability to carry the whole game in terms of comms. Technically astute, appreciative and funny. Well done Flats
