@spenley sorry to hear that, here's to your next 'it was 20 years ago today' tweet in 20 years time

Every episode of The Leftovers makes me wonder why this isn’t brought up as one of the best things of all time. Should still be in the cultural conversation.

@emil_franchi Absolute star! Cheers

@thepetergough Glad to hear it! And hope you're still playing cricket (I was until 1997 which is a while ago now I admit)

[John Plunkett @johnplunkett149]

@thepetergough not THE Peter Gough surely? The great Threshers robbery story that never was (in the News Shopper at least)?

[The Rock Revival @TheRockRevival_]

With Glastonbury kicking off this week, it’s only right that we remind you of the time The Killers & Johnny Marr performed ‘This Charming Man’ back in 2019 😍

@DannyDrinksWine wanna know the scene now!

@JamesTCobbler Walked past this the other day. Looks expensive and inordinately niche - how many people actually need a watch repaired? (as opposed to just a new battery). Not sure the 'watch repairs' is helping - now it looks expensive AND cheap

[James Timpson @JamesTCobbler]

I’m after some advice…we opened a new Watch Lab shop in St Albans a few weeks ago and it’s not doing as well as I’d hoped. In fact yesterday it took no money at all! We have added a simple sign in the window saying “watch repairs”, but do you have any other ideas?!

@Otto_English @UtterBolloxPod driving on a dual carriage in N Cornwall, screaming woman on the verge with a look of such abject despair, chilled us to our bones. We even called the police (must have sounded bonkers), turned round when we could but no-one/nothing there. Still gets me thinking about it

@Andr6wMale So many by the Decemberists but I'll go with Lake Song

[John Plunkett @johnplunkett149]

@BillyReevesOK Hi Billy, I'm afraid not but thanks for coming back. Ah yes I remember that Pulp story, amazing. All the best

[John Plunkett @johnplunkett149]

@BillyReevesOK Hi Billy, I edit the Poke, would you mind if we featured your bands thread on the site? Fantastic! Thanks

[John Plunkett @johnplunkett149]

@harrisonjbrock Nice list, on 6 music right now

[John Harris @johnharris1969]

Karl Wallinger: what an amazing musician and songwriter he was. So many songs to choose from, but World Party's Ship Of Fools has bitterly and wondrously soundtracked the last eight years, and more
