I’ve copied this from someone, but how poignant: The Wizard of Oz movie is now 87 years old. If, in 2026, Dorothy met men (or any gender) with no heart, no brains, and no courage, she wouldn’t need to be in the fictional land of Oz, She’d just be in Westminster. 🙈

@smokelessworld @SmokelessWord @BorisJohnson Seriously? His team partied whilst I craved time with my children and grandchildren and was refused entry to my aunties funeral.

New episode of The @SmokelessWord is live. @BorisJohnson on leadership, liberty, and the cost of locking down a country. From the Napoleon of Notting Hill to No. 10 - what does it take to lead through crisis? Listen now.

So much bad stuff going on in the world, but who can we all believe? I now only trust my youngest grandchildren, their unbiased innocence is the truth that I need. 💪

@Fatbaldbloke1 Honestly, I promise

Fry's Turkish Delight

@swanabi Enjoyed that tonight!

DUBLIN 🤩😍🎯

@dougiedonnelly Final score isn’t a true reflection. Two great sides made a game that was a pleasure to watch. 🏉🇮🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Many positives for Scotland from this championship mate.

What a great game- credit to both sides.

I know it isn’t the original, but I finally made it to the cavern club! ❤️👍

@markwil147 @rossie7dj We talked about it, but did Jo get you on the beach sunshine?

@welshref @rossie7dj LOL on way back from the Maldives PC

@rossie7dj despite working all over the world for over 30 years in my roles in snooker, I’m spending my first ever full day in Liverpool on Thursday, with my wife. Recommendations please? 🙏💪👍

@snookerbigman @rossie7dj I’m there in two weeks for tour champs.

@welshref @rossie7dj Get the train to Manchester Paul 😉

@JohnnyG12345 @rossie7dj My wife says cavern club is nailed on! I know it’s the other side of the road now….

@welshref @rossie7dj Have an hour in The Cavern Club if weather goes against you.Never fails to deliver.

@markwil147 @rossie7dj As if I’d be found in a bar? I thought you were on your way to Yushan?

@welshref @rossie7dj The bar

@stefanie_ladley @rossie7dj Rossie often gives the world snooker champion of the year as a clue, I wish he wouldn’t, as I generally get the year through that clue!

@welshref @rossie7dj Guess the year then? 🙂

@Exsnookerpro @rossie7dj I did a Premier League night on the outskirts of Liverpool around 1999. Drove up, refereed 16 frames live on SkySports and drove home, all in a day (I was young then!). I remember at least four of the crew went home minus their car radios! Newport was as bad at the time though 🙈

@welshref @rossie7dj Take your car into the venue with you, PC😂

@rossie7dj Thank you! My old mate, John Parrott, recommended a restaurant in the dock that I’ve booked, but the Georgian Quarter sounds great. We are leaving home at 10am for the drive up, but I’ll listen to you in the morning, as usual, while the Mrs takes 3 hours to get ready 🙈

@welshref Well Paul it’s a wonderful City with so much within, definitely a good walk around the Albert Dock , so much history, places like Hope St , Georgian Quarter including the 2 Cathedrals ,Castle St has a lovely vibe too , depends what food you like for Steak I like Meet Argentina 👌

SHEEHAN HITS 1⃣0⃣8⃣7⃣ BREAK AT ENGLISH BILLIARDS CHAMPIONSHIP! Huge congratulations to Peter Sheehan who has compiled a break of 1,087 during his semi-final against Jonathan Marwood at the 2026 EPSB English Billiards Championship at the Landywood… dlvr.it/TRMlld

@swanabi 🙈

This may well backfire spectacularly here but I think Danny Noppert is one of few right now who is more than capable of competing with and getting the better of Luke Littler in a match of this sort of distance. Deserves so much more credit.

So many years of Professor Higgins shaking hands before kick off, seemed odd this one! I don’t do politics, obviously, but can’t wait for this match (not confident of a result by the way, just want a performance) 🤞🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇮🇪

@JiffyRugby Try living in Newport!

Easier getting out of Alcatraz than Mumbles in the morning #roadworks #traffic
