Keith Ambrose

@LeighNYA Fabulous news Leigh. Many congratulations.

Some personal news I can finally share. Unbelievably, I’ve been awarded an OBE in the 2024 Kings Birthday Honours list 🤯 for Services to Young People. 30+ years of working with young people and every day it’s a privilege to push for better services for young people. Thank you to all who have inspired me and for your unwavering support over the years.

@adplacksports I’d take 3/1 on someone not on your list.

My fair prices for Masters post Players Scheffler 5/1 Rahm 12/1 Koepka 15/1 McIlroy 17/1 Clark 20/1 Schauffele 20/1 Zalatoris 22/1 Hovland 22/1 Cantlay 24/1 Spieth 28/1 Aberg 30/1 Niemann 30/1 Thomas 30/1 Morikawa 33/1 What's the best bet?

@SnookerInfo147 Six the same but Murphy and Williams instead of zhang and Carter.

With the Masters snooker starting tomorrow, let’s play a game. Predict the 8 winners of round 1. Let’s see who gets the most correct! I’ll go: Judd Trump Ali Carter Mark Selby Mark Allen Ronnie O’Sullivan Barry Hawkins Zhang Anda Jack Lisowski #snooker #147sf #Masters

@TalkingSnooker I have been watching snooker for fifty years and in the “old days” you knew as soon as a ball hit the near cushion it wouldn’t drop. Now it’s common place for balls, from tight angles, to hit the near cushion 3 or 4 inches from the angle, and still drop. Makes better TV I guess.

‘Not quite. Ohh. How did that red go in? It hit the cushion about the baulk line.’ Dennis Taylor can’t believe this red from Ronnie O’Sullivan dropped in. What do you make of it?

@MonkeyOls Hi Ol. Let me have four grand and I can make it go away.

Looks legit

@SkyCricket if the difference between balls and runs is 12, the batting team need 4 fours, not 3. A four will reduce the score by four, but the ball count also reduces by one, so the gain is only three. #JustSaying

@alexelliottgolf I take part of that comment back. I was delighted to see Rory play so well but only he will know if the wedge in to the par five was a poor shot under pressure or a gust of wind. The bogey there, when Clark got a birdie was the difference.

@alexelliottgolf I would love him to win, and I hope he does, but Rory has proven too many times that he can’t perform when it matters on a Sunday. His best Sunday major rounds in recent years have been when he is out of contention. When he’s in the mix it just doesn’t happen. 73 or worse today.

Rory means business 😎 🤝🏼

Knock out.. 😮

@RachelS59039892 Hi Rachel. Sure thing…07967342793. Keith.

@Curtly07 Hi Keith, I'm Rachel Smith, the daughter of Ruth Smith, your form teacher at campion. It's my mums 80th birthday in June and I'm trying to make a video of old friends. Could you let me have your phone number so we can WhatsApp?. Cheers.

I know I am getting old but is there anyone who can open a packet of crumpets with their bare hands?!

@PicturesFoIder I would add 27 to 50 (=77) then take away 2 (=75)

How do you do it?

@waitrose I’m afraid so but the burgers were delicious and I made my own sauce, so no dramas!

@Curtly07 Oh no Keith, was the garlic & aioli drizzle missing from the packet? ^Sophie

@waitrose wot no sauce!

@qikipedia My suspicion is that it is illegal but the law turn a blind eye because they realise how much income it generates.

As it is illegal to purchase alcohol in the county where Jack Daniel’s whiskey is produced you have to drive to the next county to get it. You can only buy ‘commemorative’ whiskey at the distillery itself.

@qikipedia I’m not sure. I was there last year - I tasted JD in the distillery, I bought a bottle in the shop and I had a beer in the cafe in the town. I asked the waitress how come I could have a beer as I was in a “dry county” and she gave a weird answer about there being “dry” & dry.

@RevRichardColes 1979 - 1982, Sunday round, two hours work including walk to and from the newsagent, started at 50p, rose to 75p by the time I left! It used to keep me in a snack a day from the school tuck shop though!

@SDavies348 Gout - “the pain of a thousand needles”. Naproxen is a cure. Montmorency Cherry juice every day is a prevention. You can get a bottle of cordial or get it in tablets. Can also be managed by diet. ukgoutsociety.org is a good source of info.

I can honestly say that gout is the most painful thing I’ve ever had. Any tips other than the normal ibuprofen would be helpful.

@sarajcox I used to work in the automotive industry and I had a colleague who was called to a “very important strategic meeting” with a Japanese car manufacturer in Tokyo. 20 hours there, 20 hours back and you’ve guessed it, meeting lasted 20 minutes!

5 hours by train, 90 mins by car, 2 sprints with rucksack & an overnight stay all for a (albeit very LOVELY & FUN) chat with Naga & Charlie on breakfast. Tell me the longest journey time/distance you’ve done for the shortest task once you’d arrived 😅

@ally_ambrose3 I think you should change West Virginia, Mountain Mama to Rutland County, multum in parvo
