@bberrybeth365 The fact that these obnoxious, privileged, racist little feckers will be running Britain in a few years is even more scary.

Or will they sign up for a dose of what they've been hating/envying since 2010?
One tip lads: If the new owners advertise jobs revamping the stadium maybe best not applying. #MCFC #nufc #lfc

Will all those Liverpool fans who moaned about the immorality of oil money, unequal competition sportswashing and human rights abuses now stick to their principles and take the short walk across StanleyPark? #MCFC #lfc #nufc

@roisiningle Sound. Really shoddy journalism well called out.

@bifana_bifana @Joanne_Lake @LBC Though a long-term Labour voter I recall being impressed with some of the old style Tory gents. Paternalistic, yes, wrong, yes but they had decency and sincerity. This new breed of chancers, carpet-baggers, swindlers and entitled toffs are, as they say, "different gravy".

@AntiToryCoalit I believe the sequel is going to be called "Into the Brown" #ThickLizzie

@Jaybirdjenny I don't think my larding was as neat as your man's. But as Jane Grigson said, it's meant to be a humble, basic terrine. Mine looks pretty humble.

[ernie whalley @forkncork]

Spent an absorbing day making terrine de campagne using a combo of the old and the "newer" -inspiration & ingredients from Jane Grigson's reliable "Charcuterie and Pork Cookery" + sous vide techniques from https://t.co/Fn6OVIkRt7

Righty-o, that's 3 #mcfc posts. Better write summat about food & drink. Just finished a splendid pig's head brawn sandwich with Dijon mustard on (tho' I say it as shouldn't) a rather superior white pan maison. Old Speckled Hen & an own-roast NIcaraguan flat white to help it down.

Big shout for the #MCFC youngsters who played so well tonight - Rico, Cole, Josh, well done. And to Sergio Gomez and Julian who both put in a real shift. And cheer up Jack the Lad. Play like that and the the goals & assists will surely come

If you are looking for a definition of 'hyperbole' then "ex-Man United ace Luke Chadwick" is about as good as it gets #MCFC #mufc https://t.co/oxt39M3Qpx

Shocking customer service from @ElectricIreland. No response to phone calls despite promise to get back; 30-50 mins delay on helpline; money taken out of our account while query in progress.

@UmamiDublin Did you also have the siu mai, Patrick? I thought they were wonderful.

[ernie whalley @forkncork]

Very reluctant to publicise a restaurant that's already, after 2 visits, a favourite. But CN Duck is simply the best roast duck purveyor in town. Nice people too.

@jockthumper @domjoly @trussliz What makes you assume that #ThickLizzy would know that wheels on buses are or go round?

@jayrayner1 Ain't that the cross critics have to bear.
Phineas T rules OK.
