@bigchriselmer Why is she on? Completely mad, going on about how disappointed Labour will be with a mere 170 majority! Desperate spin

@Tim_Vickery I laughed! Classic Tim, I thought. Keep up the good work.

@TheMysterines £6 for shipping an £11 CD is an awful lot though!

@holland_tom The Menil Collection is well worth a look too - there's a beautiful votive figure from 2900 BCE Iraq! also the chapel nearby with Chagall windows. And of course a trip to NASA!

Hi everyone, I’m afraid I bear some sad news. Most of you will know Dave has been fighting cancer for the past couple of years. Last night, on 28th February 2024, with Lili, Dave’s wife, his family, close friend David and myself by his side, he passed away peacefully at home. All who knew Dave are devastated at his passing. His beloved wife brought him such happiness as did her children, Iza and Sergiu who Dave loved like his own.

Personally, I am not sure I can put into words on how I feel at the moment. My best friend is on a journey that for now, I can’t follow. I will miss him every day and the bond and friendship we shared over half a lifetime. I wish you god’s speed brother; you are and will remain a beacon in this world. See you on the other side. Love ya.

I know Dave and his family would want me to thank all of you who sent messages of support in recent times. It meant the world to him, his family and all The Hairy Bikers team. I am sending you all much love and gratitude for those simple acts of kindness, generosity and spirit. We are eternally grateful for them.

May I ask you all for one further kindness and allow Lili, his wife, his family, close friends and I some time and some peace to process our huge loss. I am sure I will see you all soon.

Love Si x

@TheWansteadtap @prodnose Never had the shoes but my brother had the album & loved it so much I had to eventually buy my own copy rather than "borrow" his!
