I wrote this a year or two ago (seriously, what even is time anymore?), on why nothing is better than Be My Baby, and how it was Ronnie who made it soar.

@UnfilterTennis The Ronettes’ Be My Baby is the correct answer.

@oasis @TicketmasterUK @Twickets Then why are Ticketmaster themselves trying to sell “in demand” standing tickets for x3 face value

[Clare Thorp @thorpers]

I wrote about Oasis, Definitely Maybe, 90s nostalgia, and how those lads from Burnage made you feel

@scottygb Dare I ask… any sign of Hacks s3?😭

[Clare Thorp @thorpers]

Looking to speak to people who have been to #BurningMan - especially if you're got strong views either way on the festival and what it stands for. #journorequest

Andy fucking Murray ❤️ #Olympics

@RachelARich I mean, if all Tory voters did the same as the couple in the fourth story it might help with the housing crisis.

[Clare Thorp @thorpers]

Going from Andy Murray’s retirement ceremony into that exit poll is one hell of an emotional whiplash.

@siany_humphries Thank you! Yes, she was quite something.

[Clare Thorp @thorpers]

I wrote about Suzanne Lenglen, the original tennis superstar.

@DomUtton I did, don’t worry.

@J_Rogan1 @RoganProduction @londondan73 Thanks so much for talking to me, James. So interesting to hear about a different side of the ABBA story.

[Clare Thorp @thorpers]

ABBA will be celebrated in Sweden tonight, but 50 years ago their win massively divided people & led to 200,000 protesting on
the streets of Stockholm. I spoke to the director of new doc #ABBA: Against The Odds about their bittersweet Eurovision victory. https://t.co/8M7Eky1wki

I mean…

Looking out my bedroom window and seeing the Northern Lights. What an absolute trip.

[Clare Thorp @thorpers]

@scottygb he got called Richard Curtis at one point, too

[Clare Thorp @thorpers]

#TheJinx: Part Two will never live up to that bombshell first season, but I still think it's compelling - a fable on how the rich and powerful get away with things for so long, and those who help them. Wrote about it and the issues of the true crime genre

@JohannaTC It's not new, but The Worst Person In The World is fantastic if you haven't seen it (a *bit* like a Norwegian Frances Ha). And if you haven't seen it yet, the lovely Past Lives is on Netflix now.

@JessicaGulliver Me too!
