One of the mandatory stops ⁦@AudreyCollins23⁩ would make when she visited me in Boston. I stopped by today for a bit and let many wonderful memories sweep in.

@Dave_Lifelines @Sarah260363 Tube is OUT

@Sarah260363 @AudreyCollins23 It’s just lazy.

@LazyLoverUK Sorry to hear that - if it's any consolation, that was me last year. All the best to you and the cats 🎄🎅🍷⛄🌟

@CarolDelCol1 I'm a book behind you! Maybe I should have asked for the next one for Christmas

Having swallowed my own body-weight in pills (as usual) and sorting the next few days supply in my new pill-sorter, I am rewarding myself with a couple of biscuits, an ‘Richard Osman’s House of Games’ on BBC iPlayer. Today was a good day 😊

As a Scot living most of her life in England I can heartily agree with you! No explanation though, except that in my experience a lot of Scots and English people have a pretty poor knowledge of parts of their own countries, let alone other parts of the UK

@katemurdochart Thank you - lovely to hear from you. Happy Christmas to you and your family

@AudreyCollins23 Good to hear, Audrey! Enjoy the biscuits. And Merry Christmas from me & Pete. x

@JoBriggsTweets I would have been happy for any if them to win, they were all worthy of it, and there was no-one I didn't like.

@AudreyCollins23 I think any one of the four could have won to be honest, it was a really good final 🥰

Radio silence is over - was avoiding spoilers until I watched the Strictly Come Dancing final I recorded last night.💃🕺

@JoBriggsTweets Yes, I really enjoyed it - and the result, of course.

@AudreyCollins23 It was a cracking final 🙌🏻

@alliethinks Off camera, he may well have found himself wearing it! 😆

If I were Stevie Nicks, Lindsay Buckingham would still be wearing that tambourine.

1/3 I’ve been working with @UkNatArchives to develop an educational resource that examines some of the key events that contributed to the tragic and ‘bloody’ Bangladesh War of Independence 1971, where so many lives were lost. @shamtchK @PartitionGroup nationalarchives.gov.uk/education/reso…

@extreme_rice 🤣🤣🤣

I remember watching Pop Quiz while we visited my Grandad in hospital one of the lyric round questions was "Despite the limitation of his poor co-ordination, he knows he'll show the world a thing or two." My Dad confidently said it was David Bowie and the answer was... Mr Bobby

Thrilled to see you there, too, along a couple of other people I know, all very well-deserved. Congratulations!!!

@Dave_Lifelines @GenesBlog @SoVeryBritish Chance would be a fine thing 😆

@AudreyCollins23 @GenesBlog @SoVeryBritish You're clearly going round it too fast!

Where would be the worst place to go in Britain if you were terrified of roundabouts?
