@TheRegencyCook Mrs B and I - breakfast generally takes over an hour. Chatting, Instagram, patience and Wordle, mainly. Radio 3. An hour and a half isn't uncommon. Mrs. B: orange juice, Weetabix, coffee. Me: coffee, smoothie, tea and toast. The sequence never varies.

@cbnewham Am assuming it was like Toy Story and that all was still while you were present... no clattering of skull jaws, etc.

@SoVeryBritish Land safely.

@SoVeryBritish Indiana Jones and the Mini Cheddar of Confusion

@Dempster2000 Sorry to speak ill of the departed, but... John Noakes. Apart from being intensely irritating, the poor chap was onto a loser from the start as his presence denied this ten year-old lad of more Valerie Singleton (major crush) screen-time.

Fascinating bit of 'behind the scenes'

[All Quiet On The Western Front @allquietmovie]

@BBCNews What is it that trans women identify with most? The glass ceiling? Lower pay? The menopause?

@OnThisDayShe So a possible contender for the longest-lasting mark made by a human is an impression in sand? Blimey.

@ephemeracity 'Upcycling' - 1) someone being 'creative' with a bit of crap in the delusion it's going to look better than when they took it out of the skip, or 2) vandalising a beautiful antique until it looks like something that came from a 1960s student squat.

@michelrouxjr What debate? Right and wrong is beyond any debate. Jam first. Obviously.

@rorybremner @jennyeclair @mrmarksteel @grammyhowes Do you remember we did a show at a Masonic Lodge in Edinburgh (1976, I believe!)? Was it this one?

@typejunky @MirandaWhiting Twitter's always defaulted to a random pile of rubbish, but it used to be OUR random pile of rubbish.

@SoVeryBritish To people who use teabags - why?

@Morris_Oxford Look like base metal (once plated?), so would guess sports medals from the same club.Unlikely to be lots of different designs for watch fobs? Decoration very much in keeping with items sold by trophy suppliers.

@icod Just glower. Worked wonders for me, voice or no voice.

There is a wonderful, very affectionate programme about him by someone who must be one of his biggest fans, KT Tunstall.
