@SVG__Collection Composed by English-born Guy Wood, lyrics by Robert Mellin. Another great version by Doris Day from the classic Duet with Andre Previn.

@malcolm_reavell The triple lock determines the increase in the post 2016 state pension and the pre 2016 basic state pension. I think the real target is the state pension.

@indyscotnews @JohnCooperDG @AndrewBowie_MP @CommonsScotAffs Compared with HS2, Murrell's pilfering - a serious crime no doubt - is chump change, chicken feed, a mere bagatelle, peanuts, pocket money, pennies. The high speed boondoggle has gone for years with no action or charges.https://t.co/GpJ3MyoaTX

Provocative insight in James Hawes' Shortest History of Ireland. Forget the cliches of ancient hatreds or tribal sectarianism. These were introduced from England. The same was done to the Middle East.

@RMTunion The difference is if these disappeared tomorrow we would not notice.

[Ken MacIntyre @kn_maci]

@JamesMelville One factor is that simple memorable melodies disappeared from popular music over 30 years ago.

@East_Cheam_Lad Still the best Archers parody.

@carryontitterin I remember Ian Hislop saying that when Monkhouse appeared on HIGNFY, he and Merton were ready to make fun of the smarmy gameshow host, as they thought. Bob arrived early with his gag writer. At rehearsal, he was fully prepared with answers, jokes and quips crisply delivered.

@RRussellDavies Well rollock me fossett and gridle me nodes! Will it be coming to Surrey?

[Ken MacIntyre @kn_maci]

My short video on Culloden based on my recent talk.
Personal links: MacIntyres served under the Appin Stewarts. My parents were married yards from the site of the Appin Murder, part of violent resistance for years after the battle. All new to me.

@SuzJamieson The Westminster PAC's remit does not cover devolved administrations or the SNP.

Was there ever a more beautiful sound than the Blanton Webster band? Every time it went into the RCA studios ovwr 1940-42, they produced three or four masterpieces.

@RRussellDavies Interesting. A watering stop for steam trains. Jelly produced a raucous, cacophonous tune echoing the clank and hiss of a locomotive showing what a brilliant impressionist composer he was.

[Ken MacIntyre @kn_maci]

@RRussellDavies An interesting collection with one of the all time great titles, Jelly Roll Morton's Tank Town Bump. They don't write 'em like that any more.

@jameshawes2 Which was the objective of the Jacobite Risings of 1715 and 1745.

@georgegalloway @Record_Politics @peteratcmc What is Tom Johnston, Scottish political giant, thinking? (His portrait was placed in Bute House by Alex Salmond.)
