@ronsterd89 Waking up after a craniotomy to remove a brain tumour - never had a headache like that (exactly the same type as Davina McCall’s). It sent me cross-eyed.

[Shorty66 @short_pj]

I went though exactly the same treatment scenario back in 2002. It’s a very exclusive club 3 in a million. Good luck - Davina McCall having surgery for rare brain tumour https://t.co/b62EYrlVSd

@terrychristian It’s embarrassing but he’s oblivious to that because his blustering responses make it so.
Look over there, they’re worse than I am.
Entitled and embarrassing 🤬

@bardenblade @EFL He’d already been sent off, this was in the scuffle after the red card. Osmajic will get a 10 game ban like Suarez did 👎

@YorkshireTea How a bigger box of decaf in these new “enlightened” times?
80s ain’t big enough

@DittaBasharat A perfect example of saying that by under staffing call centres in the name of profit is somehow acceptable - it isn’t 😬

@GHodgsonSport This is what is wrong with Lowe - he hasn't got a clue whether it was or was not a penalty. But then he makes a statement that shows what an intellectual dwarf he really is. Says it all if he thinks it was a wrong decision 🤬

The best types of tea:

-The tea brought to you in bed on a Sunday morning
-The tea that comforts you after bad news, gives you the energy to carry on
-The leaning on the worktop after cleaning the kitchen tea (usually held in two hands)
-The “struggle to take a glove off as someone hands it to you” gardening break tea
-The tea you almost forget to drink when you’re in a rush but you remember it just in time
-The hotel room tea
-The tea with a cooked breakfast
-The recovering in hospital tea
-The tea on the freezing sidelines of a Sunday League football match
-The back at the desk after a long meeting tea
-The first tea of the day
-The first tea of the new year
-The tea you take to bed
-The tea while slapping a new coat of paint on the walls
-The tea in the shed
-The tea while staring out the window on a rainy Saturday afternoon
-The tea you celebrate with (and calm down with) when you’ve just received very good news
-The tea you didn’t expect to be offered
-The tea in a museum cafe
-The free tea
-The tea after an argument
-The tea that gives you an excuse to open the good biscuits
-The tea with a view
-The tea with buttered toast
-The “afternoon tea” with lots of little sandwiches and cakes
-The tea in a tent while camping
-The tea from a flask on an Autumn hike
-The tea while reading a book in an armchair on a rare day off with not a care in the world
-The tea after a hard day at work
-The tea after getting in from a run / bike ride
-The first tea back in your home after a holiday
-The picnic tea
-The ‘break up a long car journey’ tea
-The tea you make for someone and they say it’s a really lovely cup of tea, one of the best teas they’ve ever had
-The tea made by your Mum/Dad

My best friend is now 60 years old, we are becoming “our parents” 😬

@iankallison @UCLan Sorry I missed your send off. Hope to see you soon at PGC 👍

[Shorty66 @short_pj]

Worry about only those things that you can control 😬
Worrying about what might go wrong didn’t prevent this, but a positive attitude got us though it. I can smell croissants 🥐 and coffee ☕️🇫🇷👍

[Shorty66 @short_pj]

Not the best of beginnings 🙁

Nice evening vista from onboard the MV Seven Sisters 🇫🇷😎
