@AmericaRecharge A Yes, was never going to benefit us by leaving and has been the single biggest factor in the subsequent rise of inflation.

@rugbyontnt any chance the commentary team can start getting the Gloucester skipper’s name right; it’s LUDLOW no Ludlam! 🙄

[Robert Desmond @bigbob1263]

@rugbyontnt Watching from my armchair today due to having the lurgy. Great try but interesting comment from the commentator “the whole of The Shed are on their feet”!
Aren’t we always? 🤔 😂
Love the TNT coverage as always but how long before Lewis Ludlow is referred to as Lewis Ludlam 🤔🙄

[Robert Desmond @bigbob1263]

@gloucesterrugby Looks smart yes, but not happy you’ve moved the clock, I’ve been standing under it for years! 😡

@topsy_ojo @premrugby Gutted, ypu guys are absolute legends 🏉👊🏼 🏉👊🏼 🏉👊🏼 👍🏼
I can’t see them successfully replicating such a winning formula 😞

I’d like to talk about my Dad.

He came to England from India at age 17.

He had a brutal childhood- he’s refused to talk us kids about it but part of his childhood involved living on the streets as a child in India

Coming to England saved his life. Literally.

He has worked - shop keeper, then taxi driver & has contributed to tax his whole life here. He refused to charge people for his taxi service when they visited hospitals, students who felt unsafe walking at night etc. He worked 7 days a week, and we lived month to month.

My Mum, at the age of 64, still works full
time as an insurance broker & has also paid tax her entire working life.

My Dad retired at the age of 70 during the pandemic as he was diagnosed with cancer. Thankfully he’s currently in remission 🙏

As soon as he was given the “all clear” he could finally pursue his dream - to feed those in need.

At the age of 70 he asked my Mum to teach him how to cook.

Every Tuesday he buys food to feed about 100/200 homeless people a week. He wakes up at 3am every Wednesday to cook the food, package & distribute it with a team of volunteers who also provide them warm clothing, cut their hair etc with nothing but love.

The volunteers are from all backgrounds, all colours, all ethnicities as are the people they serve.

He is the kindest, most compassionate person I know. To have people judge him based on the colour of his skin breaks my heart beyond measure.

Honestly, seeing this makes me happy. All over the world there is so much anger, violence & toxic behaviour between politicians. I prefer a world where we can disagree, but still treat each other with respect. 🤝

@FionaDolman @lailarouass The Lady is too modest but as always, as sharp as a razor with her witty response! Mind you, if that’s really your secret, are they available to hire privately (asking for a friend)😉 😂

[Robert Desmond @bigbob1263]

@FionaDolman @lailarouass You never seem to age @FionaDolman what’s your secret?! 🤔😉😂

@edslater Have a great holiday Bob Fella! ❤️

[Robert Desmond @bigbob1263]

@mpmwilko She’s a new breed Tory, Max. This type, unlike their more honourable predecessors, have a natural arrogant streak and respect no-one. It’s no surprise that respected ex ministers like John Major, Michael Heseltine, Ken Clarke etc want nothing to do with them!

[Robert Desmond @bigbob1263]

@chrishollinsTV I’ve said before, a true gentlemen of the game. Whenever I officiated his teams was welcoming & once took time to show a young guest I had with me, all around the ground before a QPR Reserve game finishing off with a kick around on the pitch. Happy Heavenly Birthday John ❤️

[Robert Desmond @bigbob1263]

@sam_carling_ brilliant interview on BBC Breakfast. Refreshing to hear you bring a younger opinion and a new dynamic to UK politics. Good luck and congratulations on your election 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[Robert Desmond @bigbob1263]

@mpmwilko Congratulations Max, totally deserved! On top of Saints getting promotion, this has been a year to remember for you, indeed!

[Robert Desmond @bigbob1263]

@gloucesterrugby Devestated to hear this. Such great player who always gave 110% and would’ve had more caps for England but for injury. Respect Aki, hope to catch up over a pint sometime 🍒⚪️❤️🙏🏼

[Robert Desmond @bigbob1263]

@SayeedaWarsi @bbcworldservice I’m afraid as a non-Tory voter, I can’t agree with the critcism you’re receiving. It seems to me though that you have found yourself in a party that is light years away from some of the ethical views you’ve verbalised.

[Robert Desmond @bigbob1263]

@FortheR93378109 Yes, that’s Mike on the left and Steve to the right.

[Robert Desmond @bigbob1263]

@FionaDolman Sincere condolences to you and all of your family 💔

[Robert Desmond @bigbob1263]

@Lance_Bradley_ WRU would do well to put him in charge over the bridge. Talks so much sense about the game in general as well as being a massively likeable bloke!
