Fifty years ago today, Mr and Mrs Eye were married at Holy Trinity Church in Boston. Since then, we’ve lived and worked in London, Spalding, Lincoln, Skegness, Spilsby and Horncastle, but retired to Boston 25 years ago. Thanks to all for their good wishes.

@LincsReporter This is a job for Specsavers rather than Ghostbusters!

How does this work then? The headline reads that we give tips on badger baiting in exchange for a reward. Surely not!!!

@BBCPolitics @ChrisMasonBBC @BBCRadio4 @BBCSounds Another early night beckons … I imagine that’s why I’m yawning!

@nicola_mb @southkesteven Never knew that turkeys’ genitalia dangled from their noses until now!

@LincsReporter “This small increase…” is 20%.
What does Coun Foster consider to be a large one?

[Boston Eye @eye_boston]

Sorry to see that Clownty Hall (aka @LincolnshireCC ) couldn’t manage to mention Boston’s Blackfriars panto in the County News “featured events”. Still, we all know that Boston doesn’t “feature” with Lincoln at all!

@Bostonboro We also found Bank Street access through the Market Place blocked - but no-one bothered to mention that!

@politicshome I’d just slap him for no reason at all!

@Gambba_Jones No problem at all - just my phoniness detector. You make it sound like a great honour, when I believe it has to be paid for. And what’s the point? What does it do for Boston? Some senior officers would faint at the sight of a stone with Boston written on it!

@michellesacks2 Beyond excited?
By a game of Monopoly?
Oh dear - and I thought I didn’t get out much!

@robnitm Do you have any more of this area please. My father was born at 22 Whitmore Gardens in 1918, and my grandparents lived there from around 1912, through WW2 and into the 70s. I discovered that their street was built after many in Kensal Rise on the site of a huge sports ground.

@Bostonboro How much trouble would it be to remove ‘hallowe’en’ and make your tweet current, rather than just a repeat? #lazyblobs

@LincsReporter Polspeak bollocks personified.

@LincsReporter Time for a new stock photo.
The statue has been cleaned, and is now a credit to the Market Place.

@iredalepolitics @samuelteale @kimleadbeater An exclusive peak is a private mountain.
An exclusive peek is what you’re offering.

@LincsReporter With an address like this, I don’t think I’d be worried about ignoring them.
Has scam and racker written all over it!
