For some unknown reason decided to look at the cricket county championship tables for the first time in decades. Good to see they're doing such a great job making them so clear and easy to understand

Essential #RollingStones news from @AdeTinniswood in his majestic new book about country houses, #NobleAmbitions (out Oct 7 from @JonathanCape – a must buy!)

#ripfrankworthington, not strictly speaking a novelist or author, but still a bringer of great pleasure to millions and star of the first ever #LCFC match I went to

If you're one of those people who swore you'd get your reading back on the road by the end of Feb, but STILL haven't done anything about it, a message for you...

Amazing to think that if you were born on the same day as Jesus and were somehow still alive, you still wouldn’t have seen Leicester win the FA Cup. #RightThisHistoricWrong

Buying a book-loving friend a subscription to @StrongWordsMag for Xmas. I can’t get work out how @Needham014 does it; a one-man show which is so beautifully turned out, full of great features, witty, quirky sidebars & high quality pieces on about 100 interesting books. Incredible

Am appearing on #OpenBook on R4 Sun (Nov 11) to talk about @StrongWordsMag. Do not miss this inevitable fiasco!

@SkyHelpTeam Calling for help - recorded message says "Call back after 7am". It is 8.46. ??

Cometh the hour, vanisheth the man, eh, Jeremy?

A character in the new Girl in the Spider's Web movie has an awesome name. Those nuclear codes have no chance

So pleased to see Jonny Bairstow come back with such determination

Because you can never have too many #books and always need suggestions on what to #read... An excellent magazine @StrongWordsMag. Thank you @NicholasKarides

Fancy a lost weekend with A* weirdos but can't be bothered to go out? Then @StrongWordsMag urges you to try this immense and brilliant graphic Warhol bio, by Typex via @SelfMadeHero. Can you wig it?

Collective noun fans – if you read @MikitaBrottman's brilliant "An Unexplained Death" about a strange case in a creepy old Baltimore hotel that she lives in – you'll discover that the CN for vultures is "a wake"

Happy Publication day to the luckiest guy alive, Doctor John Cooper Clarke (@official_jcc)!
