Ex pencil sharpener salesman. Now retired and expanding my waistline whilst reducing my handicap.

I thought the brexit vote was an ember of racism which is now bursting into the flames of hatred and violence we see in the riots over the last few days. The rise of the far right is alarming.

I have 3 Olympic suggestions. 1. Allow any body part which crosses the line first to determine the winner of races. 2. Have a slow motion replay on skeet shooting. 3. Give three points for a gold, 2 for a silver and one for a bronze to decide the order in the medal table.

@KyleSinckler sorry to say but you lost us the game tonight.

[Philip Lawson 🇺🇦 @Ivymillphil]

Sinckler lost us the World Cup.

Two things increased my excitement watching Eng v France tonight in South Africa. Having the electricity coming back on in time and listening to the tv pundits talking in different three languages in the same sentence.

I wonder if Brendan McCullum could also do the England Rugby coaching job? We used to be able to play cricket and rugby in the different seasons of the year...

I hope that Scotland can beat New Zealand at rugby union in the next three years. That way it won’t be twice my age until the Sweaties first ever win against the All Blacks... They had a chance today but fumbled the opportunity. Shame.

Pincher by name, pincher by nature. Johnson by name....

It's been an extraordinary day. English cricket records, British tennis success and some small but hopefully significant amounts of conservative conscience and contrition.

Kyrgios at Wimbledon and booing the kicker in Perth. No class.

[Philip Lawson 🇺🇦 @Ivymillphil]

Eagled the first. Birdied the stroke index 1. Six pars on the other 14 holes we played. It's a case of every dog has its day!

@zf0745johnnyh Sounds like a late midlife crisis to me...😁

Just a heads up to my handful of followers that if you book using trainline, the mobile app is very much cheaper for tickets than the browser page to the main site. My journey to Carlisle is £150 cheaper on the mobile app for the identical time train.

Tripadvisor's highest rated places in 2022 order: Dubai, London, Cancún, Bali, Crete, Rome, Cabo San Lucas, Istanbul, Paris, Hurghada.

I’ve not been to Bali, Cabo San Lucas or Hurghada, but of the others, Dubai is my least favourite, having just spent 4 expensive days there.

Some abstentions are from countries that you’d think would know better. An article from Kate Dent helps to explain the SA position. https://t.co/YiDc1Y8IwN

Good to hear that Coca Cola are pulling out of Russia, I was thinking I might need to change my preferred tonic from Schweppes otherwise. I still won’t be driving any JCBs after their Brexit support though...😁 Or going to any Wetherspoons ever. Or using a Dyson. They suck.

[Philip Lawson 🇺🇦 @Ivymillphil]

@zf0745johnnyh Good thinking. We’ve got Bananagrams with us, we could try that...😁

I’d like to do something to support Ukraine at this terrible time, but not sure what to do. I’ve donated. I’ve glared at the Russians at our breakfast. I’m thinking get up earlier and put Lego in their shoes.

[Comedy Station Comedy Club @blackpoolcomedy]

We genuinely didn’t think we’d need to say this, but Russia moving troops into Ukraine does not entitle you to a refund, no matter how abusive you are to our Box Office staff.

As far as we’re aware, Russia hasn’t invaded Hull yet 🤦🏻‍♂️
