History made at Flamingo Park tonight. Cray Wanderers, London’s oldest club, win a penalty shootout vs Bedford to reach the first round of the FA Cup for the first time in their 166-year history. Stockport County next up

@HackBlackburn Not to mention Manchester United and Lancashire being rubbish too. Well at least you've come to the right place to cheer yourself up and find positive thoughts...

The sad thing is they then take them down before New Year. I guess my campaign to honour Candlemas will have to begin earlier this year. (Actually, I’ll allow decorations to go up with Advent but they must stay up to February 2nd.)

[Sam Munnery @SamMunnery]

They are putting up *Christmas lights* on the trees outside the office and under the Shard. It is October 13th.

This is why we can't have nice things.

@WalkTheLinesLDN Hope the same company doesn’t do Beaulieu.

This may reflect what it has learnt from my interest in politics rather than my French accent but my lousy voice recognition software just transcribed Paris Saint-Germain as “Parris [presumably it means Matthew] Sam Gyimah”

This week on the Common Sense Revolution podcast, @gavinmegaw, @patrick_kidd and I look at the Conservative post-conference bounce and a week of Andy Burnham blunders.

@PaddyBriggs @Telegraph I agree

[Patrick Kidd @patrick_kidd]

Now we are 100. AA Milne's bear of very little brain hits his centenary. I look at some of his controversies for @Telegraph, from President Xi's social media ban to a slasher film via Dorothy Parker's acid wit. Paddington doesn't have to put up with this.

@DSinck Afraid such things are a mystery to me... I just file and hope they pay me these days...

@MorleyRA And your extract read by an actor from The Archers!

This evening’s Words and Music on @BBCRadio3, always a great programme, is simply divine. Some brilliant selections to celebrate the parish church. Highly recommend if you want 75 minutes of peace in a noisy week

Yep, I’m a pretentious traitor. Always suspected it but never realised it was how I write my sevens that gives it away

[Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah]

The Germans are caught because they cross their sevens, a thing that no British person did then but millions of pretentious English people do now, to be more European’.
