Horses, Dogs, Football and Writing. Probably in that order. My 4th book The Destruction Of Icarus Park is available now from the usual places.

One of my favourite photos. A fantastic, once-in-a-lifetime family day. Emotional.

Thanks to everyone for your birthday wishes! Sort of takes the shine off it these days since I found out that I share it with that orange buffoon in the White House!😂 But the perfect present would be for us in "Makerfield"to vote for @AndyBurnhamGM on Thursday! Good luck Andy!

@WigToday Why is this right wing bigot repeatedly allow to use Wigan Today as his personal propaganda platform?

Great day out @hexhamraces to watch No Regrets roll back the years! Many thanks to @NGRichardsRace and staff for looking after him so well and to @Danmcmenamin1 for a fantastic ride. And also thanks to all at Hexham for looking after us so well!

[At The Races @AtTheRaces]

The old boy shows us how it's done at @HexhamRaces!

At 12-years-young, No Regrets rolls back the years for the @NGRichardsRace team, jumping for fun an staying on gamely to gain a first win for two years...

@terrythomas1 End of an era. Worked across the road in Kirkless street for Dobson Park. Used to have our dinner in Bulldog canteen every day when we were on early shift. Food was good but we were only young lads and the canteen ladies terrified us!

@PKendrickWIG Yep, very good - ever thought about making a career out of this kind of thing? Seriously- a great summary of a sad episode.

@equinties Didn't receive again today. Clicked on the Web page and read the article but no access to today's paid for betting information.

@PWUPodcast @HarryAnders272 @UpThePoshcast Fame at last - a mention on the podcast!

@WiganNotToday Robust debate.😂 Sadly I broke one of my golden rules by engaging with a faceless coward. Never mind, hopefully we'll soon be like Australia and under 16s won't be allowed to access social media and you will be able to concentrate on your schoolwork.

@PhilRichards01 He was also IT manager for the Tote in Wigan - so knew a lot about racing. Nice bloke, met him a few times.

[Alan Rogers @gomonline]

@equinties Received fine today! Thanks.

@moonay97 @PKendrickWIG @Lalbonda @garkaaa @billyh1310 Yep, it's hard trying to remain calm(ish) at the moment Tony - but actually, that's probably what we need - a bit more emotion from certain quarters!

@WAFCRob @mikextics The recruitment in Maloney's last season was awful because he had no money to spend. If he had been given the funds that Lowe received- we could have seen different results.

@WhelansQuiz Merry Christmas to everyone involved with the quiz this year- the team who organise everything and the teams who turned up to take part. Big thanks especially to Barry for setting the questions- and asking them in his own unimittable style! Hopefully see everyone in 2026!

@LaticsFTBL We've won this League 3 times in the last 10 years - each time with a fairly average squad. But they were well coached. This current squad is also average- but Lowe doesn't know what to do with them. And just to be clear- we've won 3 of the last 17 competitive games. Pathetic.

[Alan Rogers @gomonline]

@WigToday @wigtoday's version of Kwasi Kwarteng seems to have a very short memory. We had 14 years of inefficiency, corruption and despair. The mess they left behind isn't going to be fixed overnight. I agree that the current lot aren't ideal - but they are better than the alternatives.

@terrythomas1 They really were good quality and we could never understand how our usually tight-fisted bosses shelled out each year. It was quite a while before we found out they were tax-deductable!
