@tonyblackburn @BBCRadio2 @Ofcom I would so much love a Radio 2 Extra as alternative to the current, regular output. I don't feel that @BBCRadio2 caters for my choice of music taste except on Sat a.m. with yourself & @Mr_Oleary and in the evening with @commgardenradio

Reading RadioToday which is the industry online service for all things going on in the radio Industry every day a new radio station seems to come on but still @BBCRadio2 is not aloud to expand and have Radio2 Extra which I know would be fabulous. It seems so unfair that @Ofcom stops us from providing a service for the older generation with great music and much more fabulous archive material which only the BBC has. Such a shame. And so unfair not to allow competition.

@tonyblackburn I told the doctor that I was bitten by a wolf. “Where?” She asked. “No, just the regular ones,” I answered.

@NYCFireWire Was this the 4th alarm or was that a separate job?

This morning, while in quarters, Engine 79 went on fire. All members are ok.

@warringtonnews They were probably in Asda getting their lunch or grabbing a coffee. Not exactly noteworthy news

Incident response units spotted at shopping centre in Warrington ift.tt/c6DnB2F

@grahambrown999 Designed by the same architect? (They both look visually similar)

The correct answer is.. E23 East Greenwich And for a bonus point, was does East Greenwich & Beckenham Fire Station have in common???

Now.. we’ve not done this for a while.. So.. can you guess the fire station??

@warringtonnews You think I want to subscribe to read the article? Not likely, the majority of the pages are filled with trashy adverts like "People of Warrington are rushing to try this new miracle dental treatment" or irrelevant news from elsewhere

@tonyblackburn What about Brownsea Island or Sandbanks?

I hope Trump doesn’t want to buy the Isle Of Wight as it’s so peaceful there. I love it.

@DWFireControl hey what's happening in Shaftesbury please?

@LondonFire Bad link in the post

@BBCRadio2 scraping the barrel again on Saturday breakfast. @Mr_Oleary is off so they replace him with that part time travel news reporter with an inflated ego.

@rodgew1 @MrPitbull07 Neither a Mini nor a Beetle

@MrPitbull07 If your Hubby has been working on a Beetle, ask him what he's doing with a part finished Mini in his workshop. Maybe he has the VW tucked away so he can concentrate on his Mini.

“My husband just finished this paint job and he made me promise to share it because the people he showed it to ignored him or brushed it off. Here's why this matters. Seven years of severe depression where I watched the man I married disappear completely. Couldn't get out of bed most days, lost his job, stopped talking to our kids. Last year his therapist said find something to work with your hands, so he bought this beat up 1967 Beetle with money his dad left him and I thought he'd wasted it on junk. But he started working on it every single day in our garage. Some days all he did was sand one panel, but he kept showing up. And slowly he started coming back to us. Started smiling again. This paint job took three months. He learned from tutorials and some car groups who actually encouraged him, bought his custom paint from a maker in a shop who spent an hour teaching him technique over the phone. When he showed his friends and family, they left him on read. Just didn't respond at all. So he asked me to post it here because maybe strangers would understand what this actually means better than people who've known him forever. This car saved my husband's life. It's proof that broken things can be beautiful again if you just keep working. And the man I married is finally back.” Credit: Nice Pets/fb

@luckybeanzphoto @MrPitbull07 It's not a "classic" Mini. But it's the Italian version of the Mini

@MrPitbull07 Great story, but that ain't no beetle, it is a classic mini, and depending on the model, after he's done restoring it, it could be worth 3x what he paid. Good job man, keep the classics alive.

@marklaslett_NZ @MrPitbull07 Definitely not a Beetle, not even German

@MrPitbull07 its a great story but that car is not a 1967 Beetle - as in a VW Beetle. As far as I recall, the VW was the only care ever called that.

@SGarsino87124 @MrPitbull07

@MrPitbull07 You almost hooked me. It’s not a beetle.

@Divinedirtclod @MrPitbull07 Not an MG, not even British

@MrPitbull07 It's an MG, not a VW.. #BlessUp

@DGAlgie @MrPitbull07 It's the Italian version of a Mini

@MrPitbull07 Except that's not a beetle, it's a mini, and that's a professional down draught paint booth. So.....
