Took 20 years, but I finally found my favourite children's book. Now reading it to my kids.

@cutthecr @MarkMobile68 @razorblue @SkyNews Does that apply now we're not in the EU?

[Tim Diamond @retrogamesbox]

@IanDunt It's another "dead cat", I'm relatively confident they know this won't be legislated, but it turns the focus away from partygate for a few days.

@SarahKWilliam @schlo5 @JuddLegum I'm British, so this is a genuine question - could the literal cost of having a baby in America make you bankrupt if you can't for it?

[Tim Diamond @retrogamesbox]

@DreyfusJames The problem is people, and I include Rowling and the people on the flip side to her, don't apply this level of nuance. They probably all start off well meaning and relatively balanced, but eventually they all just descend into flinging shit at each other

@gillspencer8 @ErictheCollie @RedCollectiveUK I campaigned in Nottingham in both GE's when JC was leader, he came up a lot. The 2017 policies were very popular, but Jeremy wasn't in my experience.

@StarTrekFan79 @NumskullDesigns 3 Picard is good and voyager is probably my favourite series.

@TVKev The levy you talk about goes directly to support people on low incomes, mainly pensioners, to make their homes energy efficient and reduces their energy bills. I thought you'd be in favour of the Gov't supporting poor pensioners, guess not.

@iainlee People like Sandy, if they're not bots, desperately want people to amplify their message. Don't play that game.

@IainDale @campbellclaret @RoryStewart To be fair you've glossed over @RoryStewartUK so swings and roundabouts.

[Tim Diamond @retrogamesbox]

@KatherineEBoyle @iainlee and perhaps you and indeed all of us should take some pleasure that we part of that.

[Tim Diamond @retrogamesbox]

@KatherineEBoyle @iainlee but I don't there's a mainstream audience for it any more. I think #tlna will be last regular/mainstream speech radio show of it's kind, it's a shame, but it had some really special moments and some special energy (when you pre-recorded being abducted by aliens was my fave) 2/

[Tim Diamond @retrogamesbox]

@iainlee I'd imagine for most radio gigs nowadays you need to indulge in vastly oversimplified polarising bullshit that's got the potential to go viral. Amazing how much modern speech radio mirrors online discourse. As a kid in the 90s speech radio was at least in part fun.

[Tim Diamond @retrogamesbox]

Pft! And just like that we're back!

[Tim Diamond @retrogamesbox]

@Robbotron Imagine you stepped outside, you look back and there's a subtlety different you in the door way "alright mate, got your delivery, I'll leave it here" he puts the parcel down steps further inside and then boom gone.

[Tim Diamond @retrogamesbox]

The enquiry has been sent and now we wait.

I'm trying to get the rights to put on @GamesMaster live show, first choices would be teletext King @mrbiffo for the actual gamesmaster and @Zafarcakes as presenter. Thoughts @futureplc

[Tim Diamond @retrogamesbox]

@iamthearrison @GamesMaster @mrbiffo @Zafarcakes @futureplc Honestly? Yes, it would be about getting the right people involved so it captured the magic of the original, but reflected today's era.

[Tim Diamond @retrogamesbox]

@mrbiffo @GamesMaster @Zafarcakes @futureplc Kind of, but it's a different format whereas I want a purist revival.

[Tim Diamond @retrogamesbox]

We will be streaming this Thursday at 8pm, we're going for an absolute classic Star Wars: Knight of the Old. https://t.co/BagX7eoqZ4
