@oitappin @DavidLloydRADIO Not that he needs me to defend him, but that’s not what @DavidLloydRADIO said at all. He avoided giving a political view, and said public money should always be spent wisely. He DID say that he’d do a better job with £100m budget - but that’s just stating the blindingly obvious.

@HouseofHelpers Day 5 of waiting for my next day delivery. Still no sign of my order and still no help from House of Fraser.

[Lee Stone @LeeeStone]

No new clothes for tonight’s party - despite ordering on Tuesday with @HouseofHelpers and next day delivery. Stuck with Evri and neither company helping despite me messaging since Wednesday. Expected much better.

@nogbad47 @Swaino @thegoalzone And… ‘If that ball had gone in the back of the net Tone, it would have been a goal!’

[Lee Stone @LeeeStone]

This made me laugh. The stories about Butler, sometimes unbelievable now, were all true.

[Swaino @Swaino]

@thegoalzone So sad Tom. I remember the greatest phone in call ever, involving Tony:

CALLER: Alright Tone …..?
TONY: Is that it?
CALLER: Yes Tone.
TONY: OK son!
END OF CALL 😂

RIP Tony

[Lee Stone @LeeeStone]

1. Get out your prayer mats
2. On yer bike
3. You aye arf a good bloke

Never short of a catch phrase, parodied by Jasper carrot, inventor of the football phone in - RIP Tony Butler, you legend.

Mad day yesterday, the most intense media attention I’ve ever seen - following our appointment of Hannah Dingley as @FGRFC_Official's interim Head Coach.

It all happened on the day of our first preseason friendly game and afterwards we had a press conference - I felt at times like I was in an episode of Ted Lasso - and told them that.  

We knew this appointment was a first but had no idea just how much of an impact it would have, on the media. I reckon that means we’ve done a good thing, even though it was incidental (Hannah was the most qualified for the role at our club) - this media attention tells me just how big a barrier there has been on women coaching in the men’s game.

Not anymore, the lid is off. And that’s the (bigger) impact we can’t yet see, on the girls and women watching this, either in football or not - who will now think, why not me?

@tchil23 @AfricaFactsZone @AriseIIP @SPIROEVs The climate emergency 🚨 is happening fast as witnessed by rising temperatures, droughts, fires and other unusual weather around the world.

This is why SPIRO and it’s backers in countries across Africa are moving at speed to scale up their solutions 👏

@annakingradio @NickyHorne @DavidLloydRADIO @LucyABeaumont It was a pleasure to work with you Anna, but also to listen to you for so many years. You’ve been a soundtrack to a lot of Gloucestershire lives. 37 years eh? You must have started very young…! ♥️

[Lee Stone @LeeeStone]

Genuine Emergency Alert question. What happens if I’m hiding from a terrorist when this goes off?

[Lee Stone @LeeeStone]

@marieklennon You’ve been, and will continue to be, fab. You’ve been one of those presenters who is completely authentic and unique on and off air. And you’re more than ready for whatever comes next. But I think you still owe me a Baila coffee. I keep count of that stuff. Xx
