Steve Cook

@GavinSmith50 @nedboulting I can’t see the result being much different, tbh

@nedboulting For posterity, I recorded every episode of the highlights show last year. Might just watch them again in 2026 instead of the live race

@keithcolville @irishpeloton He’s being paid to pretend it’s real. Not for the first time

@irishpeloton Has he had a sneaky beer? I am a fan of Cav but we all know the game with these. It just seems odd

Is there a more handsy-headsy-movey-roundy person on camera than Mark Cavendish?

@3_Digit_Number Am I going mad or is that O’Connor?

La Vuelta 25 🇪🇸Etapa 7: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dunbar ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Frigo, Verona, Fortunato, Vingegaard, Ciccone ⭐️⭐️ Almeida, Hinley, O’Connor, Harper, Soler, Poels ⭐️ Hirt, Lecerf, Kuss, Romo, Vine, Kelderman, Vansevenant #LaVuelta25

@virginmedia @DannyMonez It’s every channel

@DannyMonez Hello, we're aware of an issue affecting Sky Sports at the moment. Sorry for any inconvenience caused and we'll aim to resolve as soon as possible.

Anybody else’s Virgin Media just gone mad. Pixelation on every channel? Sort it @virginmedia

@TSB Not to worry, I logged out & back in and it was working

@Country_Steve Hi Steve. I'm sorry to read this. Can you please DM more information about this? When did this start happening to you and is it still happening to you right now? Rich twitter.com/messages/compo…

@TSB guys is this a known issue? A concerned customer 😔

@TSB @NorrinRadd Are you sure it’s not a known issue?

@NorrinRadd Hello. I'm very sorry to read that. We aren't aware of any issues around this at this current time. Could you DM us with more information around how long you've not been able to view your account on the app and which device you are using please? Courtney twitter.com/messages/compo…

@stela1312 @ActualNames1 That’s where the word ‘crap’ actually comes from

From The Servant (1963) @ActualNames1

@buntyhoven The ‘advert’ in the middle suggests they also knew it was too much time to fill

@poppymoppet You really should check out the African Queen

I must admit , the only Humphrey Bogart film I have seen is this one. It’s rather good. Mr.B was #BornOnThisDay 🎬🎭

@Sonicanne1 @YouTube Fantastic. Do you know the version from Phil Manzanera’s 801 Live album? It’s thrilling! youtu.be/xB1gyzP7Hmc?si…

Brian Eno - Third Uncle (1974) youtu.be/0Ci6ADZEByM?fe… via @YouTube

@Obla_da_obla_di @o_reachtaire @TheLostRecord I wasn’t being deeply serious

@Country_Steve @o_reachtaire @TheLostRecord He still plays stadiums. He just happened to do an advert because he wanted to write an ad jingle.

The albums that just missed out on Mojo's 1995 Top 100 albums of All-Time list along with personal favourite albums picked by contributors that didn't trouble the final list. These albums are often the most interesting.

@TheLostRecord @o_reachtaire The greatest artist of the previous thousand years. Proof positive that people shouldn’t be allowed to vote

@Country_Steve @o_reachtaire The mind boggles Steve

@o_reachtaire @TheLostRecord Remember when Robbie Williams was voted ‘artist of the millennium’ at the close of 1999? He does cat food adverts now

@TheLostRecord There can be a massive recency bias in these polls. I remember OK Computer winning one of these polls around the turn of the century in Q magazine. I doubt it would trouble the top fifty now

@mduchesn @lucasaganronald …if less effective. I’m sure the sponsors would love the wet weather kit to be in full team colours - that they are not tells you how difficult they are to produce

@mduchesn @lucasaganronald These are not softshells or ski jackets. They are single layer jackets that are both waterproof & breathable. Might change next year - Gore (and I presume other brands) are no longer making these fabrics, because it has some eco impact, so what follows may be more colour friendly

Wout van Aert is again back on the bike and he was having a ride on a Ronde van Vlaanderen course with his teammates yesterday. 🐝

@mduchesn @lucasaganronald These technical fabrics are black when they’re manufactured and, because they’re so liquid-resistant, they are hard to dye in other colours

@lucasaganronald Man, this I know! The question is: Why black?

@SarkySodRyan @mrjamesob He reunited a stolen bag with its owner

@mrjamesob Deleted what? What have I missed? 🤣

Job done. Deleting now.

Fantastic. And if you haven’t seen the Negativland documentary on YouTube, I highly recommend it. Not an easy watch by any means, but ultimately very beautiful youtu.be/JWYVxDmdrfg?si…

@BraidenGB *does funny handshake*

@Country_Steve Indeed, Brother

Hope everybody’s settled down & ready for the never-dull Lord Mayor’s Show #WhyTheHellIsThisOnTellyEveryYear

@BraidenGB Freemasons as far as the eye can see

@Country_Steve Ach aye the noo. Or as we might say, 'but yes now'
