Absolute legend. So sad :(

[Billy Rice @dangerrice]

Terribly sad news about Kenny Jackett. Was always very good to me when I worked with him. #qpr

[Russ Cockburn @Dwarfio]

Gutted. A true footballing gent, who brought us back from a really low point with grace and solid management. Thanks for what you did for Wolves Kenny #wwfc

Absolutely love this! Prince William’s punditry 🤌

@tomhfh Fair, but more interestingly - why do we never see baby pigeons?

From England Para to #TheTraitors!

Best of luck to Jake Brown, who represented our England Cerebral Palsy team at the 2014 CP European Championship and 2015 CP World Championship, for the final week of the @BBCOne series.

@seethelizards Midnight Mailbox was an absolute treat. I flirted with doing something similar on my sites but couldn't get an idea that made sense ☹️

My whole career was inspired by Ceefax and Teletext (and the criminally-underlooked NickText and PText - if you know, you know).

[BBC Archive @BBCArchive]

#OnThisDay 1974: CEEFAX - the world's first teletext service - went live, with a whopping 30 pages of information at your fingertips.

In 1972, David Wilson chatted to project lead Stanley Edwardson about this newfangled service, and got a sneak peak at a CEEFAX prototype.

[Neil Wilkes @neothecat]

I spent hundreds of hours as a teenager reading and often copying some of the pages on to paper (!), which led to me creating @digitalspy in a similar short-form format, and later @SportsMole too. It was the internet before the internet and its impact can never be understated 2/2

@briantylercohen I have improved it somewhat

@tomhfh More importantly, Tom, they're eating the dogs.

“In Springfield, they’re eating the dogs, the people that came in, they’re eating the cats, they’re eating the pets of the people that live there.”

What’s most impressive about Mondo Duplantis is how he turned his family’s humble Chicago sandwich place into a fine dining restaurant

@mrnicklevine "queer stories" are just stories - and this show needed something like that, as any drama would. What it did was allow sion to shine - and brilliantly, as the actor is straight but he did the part so much justice.

If there’s one thing i’ve learnt from today, fucking cherish life. You only live once and it can be taken away in a flash. For the short period this man was here he made himself loved by thousands. Matty I will fucking miss you boy. All love to his family and friends. LLMS20 🇲🇪🦁
