@IanCaine3 @PaulMcCartney @TheO2 Very envious.

Haven’t watched a full episode of #BBCQT in years. Most enjoyable to watch Farage getting his arse handed to him by Campbell over Brexit. But the star turn was this guy.

The South Central crew yesterday at @TheSUMHC and @SULHCwessex umpiring three matches and doing one L1 assessment (a pass). A fun if very cold afternoon/evening. @SouthCentralHo2

@GoddersSteve @WestburyHC_JB @Chippenham_HC @wottonhockey @WestHockeyOfcls @MarlowHC @swsportsnews I'm off to Lee Valley for a late start, so wind and rain under lights. However really looking forward to it

Special day today. I'm sitting in the @WimbledonHC bar, having just done my first National League Div 1 game. If three years ago you had told me, I'd be here, I'd laughed at you. Huge thanks to all those who have coached me, especially @SouthCentralHo2 and @NPUAhockey

@milford_simon @darkbluehockey @hockeyfareham @SouthCentralHo2 @swsportsnews Should be a cracking match, enjoy

Up in town last night to see @arooj_aftab at the @RoundhouseLDN. Stunning. Supported by the very interesting @sheherazaad_ . Shame the photos are crap!

@IanCaine3 Saves frustrating trip to Reading to watch them lose

[Alan Dow @maddx2]

Today's match was at @MarlowHC , L1 v @WitneyHockey L1. Tight game with Marlow winning by the only goal. Great to be umpiring with Harry Wood. Thanks to both teams for the match

[Alan Dow @maddx2]

Different venue for umpiring today. @LilleshallNSC for an England U18 Girls inter squad match. Great skills from the young women. Umpired with Summer Haylock from the Midlands Area. HHUA cerise (aka pink) shirt to match Summer

[Alan Dow @maddx2]

Fantastic gig @WindmillBrixton with the outstanding @melin_melynband . Great venue and wonderful music, more pleas

[Alan Dow @maddx2]

@katehporter A good day at @MarlowHC . An excellent advertisement of why the L1 got promotion last season and their ambition for this season. Well played and to @CliftonRobbies for a fantastic game of hockey

[Alan Dow @maddx2]

Brilliant evening at The Keep, Guildford listening to an excellent @acombsmusic . Great to hear him live again

[Alan Dow @maddx2]

@RobertMSterling The article is about price gouging, where companies exploit the public by having position. At no point has anyone said that the Government would stop companies being able to raise prices. The US Government has often stepped in to stop price gouging

[Alan Dow @maddx2]

Last night I had the pleasure of taking my far better half to @billyjoel at @principalitysta in Cardiff. Brilliant night. And thanks to @ElioPace for introducing her to his wonderful music

[Alan Dow @maddx2]

@Robbo8171 @LucasBall2211 @discoveryplus hockey commentary is best described as poor. Perhaps they should have read the rules and have an understanding of the game.

@IanCaine3 @quantick Yes to Courtney Marie Andrews. Highly recommended

@WriterMikeO @TeeDixie @BBCNews @bbcquestiontime @bbclaurak This is the same BBC that the left accuse of being puppets of the right. Viewing the output of the BBC through the lens of your own bias will give you the result you require.

@TeeDixie @VikkiThomaa @BBCNews @bbcquestiontime @bbclaurak One of the side effects of Farage being elected to the Commons is that all broadcasters will have to limit his time to show balance.

@E16731118 @BladeoftheS Buses have stopped because the majority stopped using them. Outside of cities how often do you see a full bus.
