@Puggster I’ve played rugby for 40 years. There’s nothing like it for inclusiveness and building a team spirit. It allows for people of all shapes, sizes and speeds to play a part in the team. Keep going Alfie…I reckon you’ve got another 30 years’ playing in you yet!

@russrook @PhilipGWall @Dean_Pallant @EikonChris @goodfaith Congrats @russrook. That’s awesome recognition of all your hard work. Presumably your football skills in the quad at PGS were also a contributing factor?

@magdalenoxford What a wonderful account of two heroic men and their families.

@awdorset @PortsCityMuseum I actually remember teas like that with my Great Aunts in the 1970s. Mr Kipling’s fondant fancies were made for this. Slightly intrigued by dessert: sherry trifle with shot glasses (presumably for Harvey’s Bristol Cream!)

@awdorset I used to spend a lot of time running around the Hot Walls and the Camber Docks playing with friends. There were fewer tourists and cars around so lots of fun on bikes and almost no danger

@awdorset My home!! Well, I grew up in Old Portsmouth and my parents still live there. Your photos have brought back some very happy memories.

@jonathan_michie @BlavatnikSchool @KelloggOx @UniofOxford One of best things about being a graduate student at @UniofOxford is the large number of international students. Provides greater diversity of thought / conversations during studies and an amazing global network afterwards.

@ilikeoldbooks Not Sloane Square but….Ladbroke Arms in Notting Hill and Windsor Castle in Kensington are two faves of mine. Good food and beers / wines.

@willpooley Surely it’s the kebab circle of life? ‘Dust to dust, ashes to ashes, spikey pole to spikey pole’…..

@william_whyte @NewCollegeChoir Top chorister names!! Good luck, chaps. My 4 years as a cathedral chorister were fantastic. Amazing music in stunning surroundings.

@DrNadiaChaudhri So very, very sad that a life ends so early. You have become a massive inspiration to so many people. Sending condolences and best wishes for the future to your Sun and Moon.

@CarenzaLewis @robhedge @MedSettRG Fantastic drawing! What would they have done with their waste - would there be a midden, and if so where would it be?

[David Powell @dpowell_real]

@SocialHistoryOx What have you got against Brasenose?! Fabulous college. Much better (at non-academic stuff) than Merton.

[David Powell @dpowell_real]

@alex They always have special offers on. I think I’m paying US$10 a month.

@wozke @CarenzaLewis Biggest question is, ‘Did Stuart buy a round?’

[David Powell @dpowell_real]

@MagdLibAndArch I think I can make out ‘gruffalo’ on the title page, so maybe an early Julia Donaldson work?

[David Powell @dpowell_real]

@ilikeoldbooks Not the moon, then?

[David Powell @dpowell_real]

@DrNadiaChaudhri You are utterly amazing. I know that I couldn’t face what you have to with the same grace and humour. We are all rooting for you!

[David Powell @dpowell_real]

@alex Looking very much like ‘old England’!! Beautiful.
