@OfficeShoes Hi. Can you please provide a status on order #W72074627. Bought online 9 days ago, awaiting confirmation it has arrived at the store for collection.

@minsterman No argument here. But if we're compiling "greatest f-you songs" then GYOW has to be in the conversation.

@minsterman (and with my middle-aged Dad hat on, I'd also throw "Go Your Own Way" into the mix for "greatest f-you" song)

[Andrew Jefford @andyjefford]

@minsterman It's a really minor part of how great this is, but for some reason the way it goes straight from the first chorus to the second verse without a gap always grabs me.

[Andrew Jefford @andyjefford]

@GrahamtRuddick Likewise (without the Graham bit). His massive partnership with Hussein against Aussies at Edgbaston in 1997 is my first proper international cricket memory.

@British_Airways Hi. How early can I check in bags at Bordeaux airport? I’m on the 23:20 tomorrow to LGW. Thanks.

@willgkelleher @TimesSport 1. Kick-offs no later than 3pm (limits drunks, easier journeys home for families).

2. Cut music + geeing-up - atmosphere has to be organic.

3. Higher proportion of tix distributed via clubs. RFU organised coaches from further regions.

4. Fundamentally: play better rugby.

@RufusTSuperfly @alexmassie a well-known opponent in the Sussex cricket leagues too. Many an over-enthusiastic young batsman seen off by his looping deliveries at @RottingdeanCC

If you don’t care about hedge fund millionaires using underwater robots to hunt for Nazi treasure, I’ll be honest, my latest story probably isn’t for you. With @oliviasolon and @jonny_browning

@KitChellel @oliviasolon @jonny_browning This is great.

@ojngill @cricketworldcup @hatcherdavid England grounds generally much smaller than in India though, of course, and some judicious use of likes of Taunton (3 games, 12,500 capacity) and Cardiff (4 matches, 15,600 capacity) helped avoid emptyseatitis.

[Andrew Jefford @andyjefford]

@ojngill @cricketworldcup They weren't. @hatcherdavid and I went to Sri Lanka v Aus at The Oval and was pretty much a sell-out if memory serves.

@ojngill @lavuelta The rain they can do nothing about. The timing, however, was stupid. How any rider could safely navigate a wet road in that light is beyond me.

@BuxtedParkCC @AshesUrnie Yes Steve! 💯

@Ed_Stocker I was the other way round! London Fields as a teenager, Money much later. Both fantastic.
