Some good spells and nice incisive forward passing at times from @HSV_English but either snatching at chances or needing too much time in the box. A point fine here but will need more against Stuttgart on Thursday.

LEGO James Bond returns! After many of you enjoyed LEGO Thunderball, the lockdown home-schooling project with my kids (aged 6 & 4) has continued. It's taken a while to complete, but Ollie, Alice and I proudly present... #TheLegoDaylights

Should have been off to Marseille this weekend. Hey ho.

When you realise we would have been heading into European Cup finals weekend in Marseille.

Excellent response from FC Schalke's Head of PR to @thetimes who claimed that Hitler was a fan.

@horgan88 I believe that all demands from the UK have been made public today; which will be interesting to read. Position seems to be as you say, UK wants to use versions of existing deals to get it done quickly, EU wants to tie us up in knots to prevent others leaving?

Re UK:EU negotiations. Posted because it is interesting and feel it should be shared, with no opinion, comment or desire for reproach or discussion.

Earlier, I asked how folk were doing amidst the current crisis. I got this from a serving cop:
"I’m exhausted. I’ve worked harder than normal, not able to take leave, seen my job vilified in the shitty media. I’ve had a headache for a week"
So to all police; a huge 'thank you'!

Daytime quizzes in the 80s/90s: going for gold, 15:1. 2010s you’re playing hangman and 2p machines. Who says Britain is dumbing down?!? 😂😂

The RCAF has suffered another tragic loss of a dedicated member of the RCAF team. We are deeply saddened and grieve alongside Jenn’s family and friends. Our thoughts are also with the loved ones of Captain MacDougall. We hope for a swift recovery from his injuries. - Comd RCAF

@matthewsyed I enjoyed the game. Didn’t feel it lacking for not having a crowd, though it was strange. I was chatting to friends about the game during the first half but not the second. I suppose it comes to whether personal enjoyment comes technical appreciation or is more experiential?

[Chris Long @ChrisLong007]

@Owen_Rees15 I can’t find the irony he is claiming anywhere.

[Chris Long @ChrisLong007]

@jamesinsurrey Those are not tests, they are slogans. Ironic that an education union appears to have misunderstood what a test is.

A maternity ward and a funeral. What cowards these terrorists are.

[Johnny Mercer @JohnnyMercerUK]

Reminds me of a time when two kids with a wheelbarrow packed with explosives approached a patrol of UK soldiers and someone remote detonated them amongst the patrol. Afghanistan - a beautiful, beguiling but tragic and brutal place. Will it ever end? 😢 https://t.co/sA42c4Bjxt
