@AvantiWestCoast No problem at all. Thanks for your help.

@AvantiWestCoast hi there. I’m trying to book Edinburgh to Preston on Monday 13th April. Avanti website says advance tickets are available for that date but no direct trains come up when searching. Are there disruptions that day?

[Stephen Norbury @stenorbs]

@AvantiWestCoast Thanks for the quick reply Bipasha, I’ll find an alternative route. I did check that link earlier but FYI, it only mentions a route amendment for a single service and that’s well after Preston. No mention of longer-term disruption.

@AAKanchelskis I’ve worn my 95/96 away shirt with your Dad’s name on the back to 3 games this season and we’ve won all 3. Every time, at least 3 people have stopped me to compliment me on the shirt and say what a great player he was. After 50 years, he’s still my favourite outfield player.

@XMartinsMusicX I love that song but why did they make everyone mime at Montreux? I’ve always found that odd.

@fesshole You sound like you’ve got access to the kids but they don’t wanna see you…

@davidnorbury9 @andynorbury I probably won’t show this to the family.

I have spent the last hour shaking with rage and punching my phone screen. This is without question the most shameful moment in our country’s history. Time Person of the Year is supposed to be ONLY for Americans who pulled themselves up by the bootstraps and succeeded on their own accord.

Literally no one knew who Tyler Swift was until two months ago when she showed up uninvited to one of Travis Kelce’s games, and now she’s ridden his coattails to fame and fortunate. She was also caught SWEARING on live TV and will never be as good of a musician or role model as Ashlee Simpson, Kris Kross, or Demi Lovato. And she’s Canadian, so not eligible for Time Person of the Year to begin with.

America: 1776-2023

@EvertonDirect the GK socks I ordered for my son’s birthday haven’t arrived with the rest of the kit and your chatbot isn’t much help. Can you help me please?

I don’t blame anyone for feeling overwhelmed by the news and just wanting to switch it off.

However, if you can bring yourself to read just one more thing tonight then let it be this insightful and humane piece by @Ike_Saul

@HLTCO @SkyNews Cutting from an active war zone to cover the ‘Breaking News’ that some non-entity will no longer be sitting on a sofa presenting a vapid programme for pensioners and people with ‘Live Laugh Love’ signs on their walls.

All perfectly normal in the U.K.

HS2 is absolutely vital. Totally agree w @andy4wm. Post Brexit we must be AMBITIOUS for our country and hungry for our economy. What signal would it send if we cancelled our highest profile infrastructure project and weakened our commitment to share prosperity around the country?
