@danny_robins Malvern. Please. We have a lovely theatre. For believers, we have the ‘Wyche Cutting’, we have the nearby mystery of ‘Who put Bella in the Wych Elm?’ and, for sceptics we have a lot of scientists. Just come. It’s magical. Also, free spring water!

AN #UNCANNY ANNOUNCEMENT…

I’ve read a couple of great books this year and wanted to share some of my favorites so far. What have you been reading this summer?

@deathofbuckley Even though the implication is that he is waffly versatile?

@RoryStewartUK @BBCRadio4 Just wanted to Tweet how very much I enjoyed this series. Important and timely, but also hugely accessible and informative. Have been recommending to friends and colleagues.

1. Arguments divide us + shatter societies. 2. But arguments are - paradoxically - the only way to save democracy. 3. Humans need to rediscover how to argue truthfully + well - and how to listen too. Tuesday 19 July at 9am on ⁦@BBCRadio4⁩ - bbc.com/mediacentre/pr…

@IamHappyToast @Jolly_Jack Agree with HT. Trailer is fun, like getting round the table with your mates and rolling for initiative. Looking forward to trailer for movie adaptation of ‘Call of Cthulhu’ RPG, 90 seconds of people screaming ‘RUN!’ set to a jazz score.

"D&D can be whatever you want it to be" Why have both movies decided to be something that MOCKS the source material?

Lovely to read the word ‘Thatcher’ outside the context of the PM leadership contest.

So that’s where @neilhimself got his look from. Fair play.

Alan Grant & John Wagner

We are devastated to hear the news that we have lost Alan Grant, a giant of comics whose wit, humanity, and talent made 2000 AD what it is. Our tribute: bit.ly/3B79wL2

@IamHappyToast An immense talent, a great loss.

Right, so, I have read John Christoper*, John Wyndham and Max Brooks, so thought I was prepped for the apocalypse. Turns out, not. Still like the idea of take-away, no matter how hot. *Yes, I know.

@IanDunt Also, they might have to put on an ‘Inspector Morse’ instead. Ah, poo, that would be ITV. Er, put the on a footie match then. Or cricket. Or some other sport that was much, much better in the BBC.

I for one am glad that the Tory leadership candidates are pulling out of the TV debates, because it means I won't have to watch them.

@DeborahMeaden Hoverboard (BTTFII edition)? Badger with a firework? Heelies (Now that I would tune in to see)! A chariot drawn by woodland folk (apologies, LOTR crossover, also, cruel!) Or, if your German car is getting tyred (geddit?). Get a Morgan. An electric one. Yet to be built.

Don't have one Paul.Try again.Ask me about air Travel...keep going I am quite sure you will find a gotcha moment and if that makes you happy..

@2000AD If that’s this week, this is next week. Crikey.

Being reminded of this cover more often in recent years than we're comfortable with... (From 2000 AD Prog 34 (1977), by Trevor Goring)

@2000AD The Supercover Saga behind the Supercover.

@deathofbuckley I got my first real six-string which I bought from the five and dime, I played it until my fingers hurt a bit, it was the summer of. Oh, apologies, wrong summer.

Johnny Ball was my first co-presenter on #Playschool 46 years ago and it was lovely catching up with him at #RHSChelsea Flower Show yesterday 💐

The crèche is full today 🧡🦊
