There are SO few good tunes about horse racing but here’s one!! youtu.be/sRHZjSm1l6o?si…

@thepinkchapel Good point!

@tykeyram I suspect that may be down to the matching of available paints, and skill of the painter! When you are into the realms of historical colours, primrose, rose etc there will always be variation (as I suspect there would have been in the racing silks)

My lovely wife bought me this for Christmas as Lord Rosebery’s colours but I’m not convinced they really are - can any knowledgeable #HorseRacing people here help?

@thepinkchapel Oh I adore it!

@tykeyram I would add that this is a wonderfully thoughtful gift; in good condition and boxed which that one evidently is they are quite valuable

@thepinkchapel It’s a gift I’ll always treasure but the colours on the silk are one yellow hoop, not repeated, and the ground colour is more lilac than rose pink?

@tykeyram They most certainly are - the full complement of family colours registered were as the enclosed photo shows

So my wife has just started using a Garmin Vivofit 4 - can anyone explain why the graph states she has walked almost 13km but the distance summary states 8.2km? #garmin

@FloellaBenjamin How have I gotten old while you’ve never aged?

Happy to be celebrating #BlackHistoryMonth across the country with Humpty looking through the round window at many of my #Playschool Babies 💕

@tonyblackburn @TheBBCtv I burst out laughing when you were in the bar; and that’s the effect you have Tony; you just make people so happy. You have more positivity than a bag of anodes.

It was great meeting up with my poperdoodletastic friend Paul Whitehouse and Bob Mortimer last night on Gone Fishing on @TheBBCtv they are such lovely people.

@drfc_official My 90 year old Dad remembers rushing from school to watch Donny play Barrow in the awful winter of 1947; missed the first half hour, Donny were already 3-0 up and won 8-0! Snow was so deep adults were giving piggybacks to the kids to get them over the road to Belle Vue ❄️

TEAM | Your Rovers side to face Barrow this evening Five changes from the weekend as Joseph Olowu, Billy Sharp, Harry Clifton, Patrick Kelly and Ephraim Yeboah come into the XI 🔴 #drfc ⚪️

@NoContextBrits Good eyesight & a mirror.

Men, what’s preventing you from dressing like this?

@JoePorter1990 Actually King Credo was owned by, and ran in the colours of, James Bolam’s wife Susan Jamieson. Bolam’s colours were yellow & black halved as carried by Credo’s Daughter.

Owned by the actor James Bolam

@theAliceRoberts I was following you (I’m related via marriage to someone you know well) but was surprised to see that I’d been ‘unfollowed’ !!

My followers are crashing... Because people are leaving this place? Because the algorithm is working against me? Because this site is blocking people from following me (that's already happened)? Please help me reach out to followers I've lost by RTing. And let's try to keep this a positive place to share news, views, science, history, kindness and love.

Every time the #BBC do a piece on Adam Peaty they describe his hometown of Uttoxeter as being in Derbyshire. IT’S IN STAFFORDSHIRE!!!

Victoria Derbyshire to replace Laura Kuenssberg on the BBC? RT if you agree. #bbclaurak

@thebedfordfox Thank you for passing this on; I just can’t stop trying to imagine what he’s going through.

I spoke to John a few minutes ago. He sounds amazing and he wanted me to pass on his sincere thanks to each and every one who has expressed a message of love and support, on X or elsewhere. He knows that he has so many people taking every step of this journey with him.

@eeyore94 @henleysghxst I’m so sorry for your loss. Si’s tweets were always concise, interesting, worth reading and (unlike many on here) never unpleasant or confrontational. I’ll raise a glass to him this evening.

Hi all, this is Si's niece. I wanted to let you all know that Si passed away unexpectedly at home early Sunday morning. I know how he enjoyed talking to you all on here. If you want to message me, I'm @henleysghxst. Thanks all for keeping in touch with him over the years x

@graysonscolumn I found him on YouTube! She made a very fair point that it was odd ‘Mule Train’ was the only tune he could play…

@tykeyram Did you give her an illustrative demo? And if yes, how many of everything can you currently see?

I hope his victory speech included a quick rendition of Mule Train. #iykyk

@Peston Christ, the last two Prime Ministers had no vote share whatsoever!!

I asked the new prime minister a) what he’ll do if the state of public services and the public finances are worse than he expects and b) whether the culture and practice of his government will be influenced by the mismatch between his huge parliamentary majority and his relatively small national vote share. This is what he said

@HarjapBhangal I f*cking love this

Scenes at Edgbaston where India are playing Pakistan but people are watching the England game. 2 sets of rival supporters united by their love of England! #PakvsInd #ENGSUI #comeonengland #england
