@salingergregor Because people want to know how to get to their final destination once they arrive in the capital or to double check where in the tube they need to change.

what does one need a London tube map for in Doncaster??

@MadsDavies @McCrimmons I think it is also true that many Anglicans aren’t happy about the clergy cutbacks and pastoral reorganisations, and ever growing Parish Share contributions, or about the CofE generally, sufficiently fed up are they, that people don’t feel willing to volunteer in key posts.

@MadsDavies @McCrimmons Personally I’ve never had anyone not become a PCC member or CW because of DBS. The problem is a dearth of volunteers full stop, from a diminishing pool of people (increasingly so as people are now retiring later and are often giving large amounts of time to (grand)childcare too.

Interested to hear from other church folk whether the DBS vetting is deterring churchwardens? (maybe the data breach last year didn't help?)

@oldmanradd @BBCNorthampton @NorthantsCCC @CalvinH_98 Disney Time. Blast from the past. You’re showing your age!

In the absence of Disney Time - The Cricket Show on @BBCNorthampton must be your Bank Holiday Monday choice. Reaction to yesterday's 2 Blast wins for @NorthantsCCC from @CalvinH_98 David Ripley and Mabel Reid - plus Jim Griffiths and a cricket-themed charity event. Join us from 6

@CameronYardeJnr @back_the_BBC This series was one of the greatest live entertainment formats. How Noel carried this off live every week I will never know, it was really quite something, given so much was unscripted, and even that which was scripted often went in unexpected directions!!

The unedited footage at the end of DLT's Gotcha where he swears constantly is quite something. But the Gotcha was merely the set up for the following week on Noel's House Party. DLT's revenge!

@thenugget375 @SkyCricket I’m surprised Sky has remembered they still have the TV rights. I’ve not detected that much enthusiasm from them.

@pw5219 Everyone is entitled to be off sick. Whoever they are.

If you are in Carla Denyer’s constituency, whether you voted for her or not you should write and object to her taking time off from Parliament Tell her if she cannot handle it she should call a by election to get a person who cares for you in place

@davidoncricket @Middlesex_CCC @surreycricket @HomeOfCricket @ECB_cricket We desperately need some County Cricket on network TV

It’s @Middlesex_CCC v @surreycricket at @HomeOfCricket It’s quite an achievement to take a fixture from 27,000 sellouts to an expected 7,000 today. Well done @ECB_cricket, all part of growing the game?

Please Secretary of State, just get Milton Keynes to Oxford up and running…

@glblathletichub Whilst I’m delighted to have the whole series FTA in the UK I do wish @BBCSport would use their own comms team, even if off tube from Salford.

Only tuned in for the last race, but calling the Olympic Champion ‘Maisy’ instead of Masai is purely amateur commentary. The Diamond League coverage is screaming for broadcasters/commentators like Ricardo Chambers, Alex Seftel & Scott Eburne to take over.

After today’s Xiamen Diamond League athletics currently in the Red Button, it’s Morocco next! Rabat is on BBC2 #bbcathletics bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

@GSR156_ @DavidFetteroll @itvfootball @ITV @ITVSport @IanWright0 The BBC list includes both the radio and Gaelic language commentary teams for the Scottish coverage tbf

@DavidFetteroll @itvfootball @ITV @ITVSport @IanWright0 This is nothing compared to the numbers the BBC are taking.

Introducing your 2026 World Cup team on ITV 🤩🇺🇸

@Radiojottings I struggled to listen to this at the time; he sounded so desperately ill. I seem to recall he was still talking about discussing future projects with the BBC.

@FinallyHuman Freeze in a bag for a few hours, scrape off anything that you can with a debit card or similar, and try dabbing it with acetone (nail polish remover)?

@FrGary1 That was the thinking behind the hand sanitizer

Sacristy help! I’ve got resin from the Thurible in my cotta (surplice, for those of a nervous disposition). It’s been there a while. Fairy liquid, Oxi stain remover, and hand sanitizer have all done little to shift it. Any tips?

@FinallyHuman Ah yes! I missed that!

@MLorenzoFS @ALucieSmith @FinallyHuman 14 priests in fact. Sufficient ordinations in the last decade to renew the churches that look currently to the Society Bishops. We will believe the same thing “in a few years” as our forefathers did 2000 years ago, such is the nature of the Catholic Faith.

@ALucieSmith @FinallyHuman Five ordained deacons and a dozen priests this year, I believe; but who knows what they will believe about women priests in a few years.

Are there any Anglo-Catholics out there who absolutely reject female ordination? My feeling is that most have made their peace with it.
