@Boothyray1 @TheNorthernEcho @NorthFarmerMag @DandSTimes @SedgefieldShow @Lanchestershow @ShowWolsingham @CanonUKandIE Very nice Boothy, the shows were always fun although I don’t miss spending three hours typing out all the prize winners!

@topcat767 @TPExpressTrains Well spotted, thanks!

[Duncan Leatherdale @DuncyLeaths]

Another day, another unpleasant journey on a rammed @TPExpressTrains train, two for two this weekend, shambolic doesn’t do it justice

[Duncan Leatherdale @DuncyLeaths]

@drac_uk @TPExpressTrains 100%! It was entirely feasible to predict and prepare for, and for “discomfort” it should really read “totally dangerous” given the number of people having to stand

[Duncan Leatherdale @DuncyLeaths]

Hey @TPExpressTrains why is the 9.42 from Doncaster to Liverpool only 3 coaches?

[Duncan Leatherdale @DuncyLeaths]

@TPExpressTrains Thanks, it’s rammed and was already 95% full with reservations, with more passengers having to use this route to get to Manchester from the North East plus football fans, adding more coaches seems like a no-brainer with a bit of planning

[Duncan Leatherdale @DuncyLeaths]

Fantastic Phoebe and well deserved!

@MLB @Topps A great card for a great player!

[MLB @MLB]

Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s #Postseason dominance continued last night 😤

Repost and reply for your chance to win this @Topps autographed relic card!

@SheldonTarpey Fair enough, but I think it’s a well known enough show for people of different generations to get the joke, and it’s an amusing advert riffing on that. I’m sure it’s not the only marketing the uni has done to sell its many qualities, for me it just shows they can take a joke

[Duncan Leatherdale @DuncyLeaths]

Good work University of Lincoln, bus wankers!

[Duncan Leatherdale @DuncyLeaths]

@SheldonTarpey So you don't think they would get the reference?

[Duncan Leatherdale @DuncyLeaths]

@SheldonTarpey Have you seen The Inbetweeners?

[Duncan Leatherdale @DuncyLeaths]

@felixwhite #basescoveredlive what is the hardest position to play in baseball? And how do batters actually aim/control where the ball will go (beyond just trying to whack it)?

[Duncan Leatherdale @DuncyLeaths]

Once again, @CrossCountryUK doing its absolute best to make travel as difficult as possible. Train to Stansted has been abandoned at Cambridge because there is no driver. Good luck to anyone relying on this shambles to get them anywhere

[Duncan Leatherdale @DuncyLeaths]

@lordheber Haha thanks Mike, all pedantry is welcome, I shall seek to change it!

@ThePerlmanator It is quite possible looking at the sentencing guidelines. If convicted it could be a maximum of 10 years with a range of a discharge to four years (if I have read it correctly)

[Duncan Leatherdale @DuncyLeaths]

@ThePerlmanator So it looks like destruction is covered by the criminal damage charge

[Duncan Leatherdale @DuncyLeaths]

@ThePerlmanator Sorry Anthony, have only just seen this! The short answer is I don’t think there is such a charge as “destruction”? I could well be wrong and please do correct me if I am!
