@SouthamptonFC I am not sure you took this seriously enough. Birthday was lovely until 8pm thank you.

Scary Easter Holiday reading from @johnsweeneyroar and now following avidly for latest updates. Great, brave journalism 👏

[Claire Hewitt 🙋‍♀️ @clairehewittsim]

Thoroughly enjoyed The Satsuma Complex. It's a jolly nice book. Found myself reading internally with voice of @RealBobMortimer which seemed to fit and not only added to the enjoyment but also made myself chuckle. I recommend it wholeheartedly.

@ShawnMichaels My husband bought me your book for my 40th birthday and I really need to know if this is actually signed by you because it would make my year!!

Thank you @SOuLupdate for our fantastic playscape!

@J_Tanswell Fans have given up. If this performance had been under Jones there would have been uproar. Just so depressing.

@secretHT1 @NAHTnews It went into my clutter/junk so I only found it when I went searching. Some may have missed this!

@RogersHistory I'd like to see NJ be a PE teacher in Wales so he was very far away from Southampton. Though pupils may get frustrated with him changing the seating plan every week.

Great job by the School Council using the UNCRC to voice their opinion to the county council @hantsconnect

[Hamble Primary @HamblePrimary]

@GretaThunberg Our School Council would like to share their letter with you about a proposed gravel extraction site next door to our school. They have used the UNCRC to express their views, just like you did! Thank you for inspiring the next generation. https://t.co/rpgU7DdHQv
