@Santokie89 That’s agreed

[Dominic Warne @Warno1973]

@CaribCricket That’s because CWI like all nations gets a share of the broadcast and sponsorship money which is distributed annually. The prize money is for the players and management staff

[Dominic Warne @Warno1973]

@CaribCricket @joseph_reenel …and management team

[Dominic Warne @Warno1973]

@CaribCricket @joseph_reenel It goes to the players

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Carole Cadwalladr, "My ongoing frustration with Nigel Farage he is seen as this English figure, wears tweed, goes to the pub, we see him through this lens"

"He has received almost no journalistic scrutiny throughout his entire career till very recently"

"He's not that cuddle cosy golf club English pub figure"

"He is in a relationship with the US far right and with the European pro-Kremlin far right"

"What happened in Brexit, we saw that money that force that influence, those networks coming together"

"It was the first real political campaign in the UK run through these online platforms"

"They ran a mock, blasted through electoral law, data law, and we're living with the consequences of that"

"Our constitution changes, the shape of Europe changed, our national security changed"

"And here is Nigel Farage in this pole position now, to potentially take power and we're not understanding the consequences of that"

"If you look at what Trump is doing in the US, the way he had a plan of what to do in office"

"Farage is now working with the same people"

"There is going to be an all out assault in the same way on the rule of law and our institutions"

Zack Polanski, "It's already happening"

Carole Cadwalladr, "The stakes of that are unfelt by most people, it's an abstract"

"We have to see what is happening in America and learn those lessons"

@Stewart09322559 @BoringBiz_ No we don’t. We have plenty of energy . How can you believe this nonsense. So easy to check the facts

@chilternrailway
Afternoon, what's the best way to find information about delays and train disruption as they happen?

[Dominic Warne @Warno1973]

@IconHQx Watch Glen Hoddle videos and then come back to us.

Rest in peace, Patricia Routledge 🙏🏻

In memory of her, I encourage everyone to read these words of hers from February last year.

Whether young or old, you're bound to get something out of it.

*****

"I’ll be turning 95 this coming Monday. In my younger years, I was often filled with worry �� worry that I wasn’t quite good enough, that no one would cast me again, that I wouldn’t live up to my mother’s hopes. But these days begin in peace, and end in gratitude.

My life didn’t quite take shape until my forties. I had worked steadily — on provincial stages, in radio plays, in West End productions — but I often felt adrift, as though I was searching for a home within myself that I hadn’t quite found.

At 50, I accepted a television role that many would later associate me with — Hyacinth Bucket, of Keeping Up Appearances. I thought it would be a small part in a little series. I never imagined that it would take me into people’s living rooms and hearts around the world. And truthfully, that role taught me to accept my own quirks. It healed something in me.

At 60, I began learning Italian — not for work, but so I could sing opera in its native language. I also learned how to live alone without feeling lonely. I read poetry aloud each evening, not to perfect my diction, but to quiet my soul.

At 70, I returned to the Shakespearean stage — something I once believed I had aged out of. But this time, I had nothing to prove. I stood on those boards with stillness, and audiences felt that. I was no longer performing. I was simply being.

At 80, I took up watercolour painting. I painted flowers from my garden, old hats from my youth, and faces I remembered from the London Underground. Each painting was a quiet memory made visible.

Now, at 95, I write letters by hand. I’m learning to bake rye bread. I still breathe deeply every morning. I still adore laughter — though I no longer try to make anyone laugh. I love the quiet more than ever.

I’m writing this to tell you something simple:

Growing older is not the closing act. It can be the most exquisite chapter — if you let yourself bloom again.

Let these years ahead be your TREASURE YEARS.

You don’t need to be famous. You don’t need to be flawless.

You only need to show up — fully — for the life that is still yours.

With love and gentleness,

Patricia Routledge

Once more, rest in peace. 🤍

@wembleystadium if you can't bring in backpacks to the stadium, is there a safe storage, bag locker operator at the stadium to store a bag safely during a match/event?

[Dominic Warne @Warno1973]

@c2c_Rail Thanks

[Dominic Warne @Warno1973]

@c2c_Rail What age do you need to be to purchase an adult ticket, please

[Dominic Warne @Warno1973]

@LangmanVince I would think the exact opposite actually

What a lovely surprise on the Father Time Wall at Lord’s – massive thanks to the guys at @HomeOfCricket for this gesture, really appreciate it! Today is my 114th Test working for England. Honoured and a privilege to do this role. 🦁🦁🦁

@JoJoFromJerz And his ear has no scarring whatsoever

[Dominic Warne @Warno1973]

@GoApeTribe Hoping for some help. I want to book a treetop adventure for myself and 2 children (14 and 10 years). Can you advise which locations are best and if there are any restrictions . My daughter (10 years old) quite small.
