Ian Roberts - The Beard

@Bob_Fischer I'm having that.. Bob: "Oh go on, gainsay Beardedian" Uncle Harry: "I don't think I can gainsay him"

@utb_smith Do they open the batting for the West Indies?

@matthewsyed What a ridiculous episode of Sideways this week.

“Paul Gascoigne is outside with a fishing rod, 4 cans of lager and a chicken sandwich, sir.”

@johndredge Ahhh, Barcelona

I love old showbiz. The new stuff means nothing to me whatsoever.

@Matt_VickersMP No she's not. Something might happen in the autumn, which has been on the cards for years.

🚨 Rachel Reeves is hiking fuel duty — while wasting billions on Ed Miliband’s mad net zero plans. It doesn’t make sense. Motorists face a double whammy: Rising petrol prices. Higher taxes. Time to axe the fuel duty increase!

@SirSimonClarke So pleased that whoever was in charge in the past ten or so years took decisions that would improve our life now

This is *exactly* how the UK has ended up with so many of the problems we have. Sixty months is nothing in the grand sweep - it hardly feels a moment since 2021. Any rational UK energy strategy at all needs to focus on maximising North Sea extraction, whatever your view on the ultimate destination.

@BillinghamTown You Watt?

46' | BILLINGHAM TOWN 1-1 Sunderland West End. Charlie Watt

@GeoffNorcott Lucky Mrs Norcott

I got it up late yesterday

Love the new track from @jaymoussamann just played on @BBCTees introducing. #Ding

@Official_Darlo Can we move Saturday's game to the Riverside in Boro?

@beatroute66 @quakerette Surely the impact of playing today on the chances of a future match going ahead shouldn't be part of the considerations

@quakerette That's frustrating for you, Ruth. I get it. But no way could the game go ahead tonight given everything and, even if it did go ahead, it would probably mean that Saturday's game would be in doubt.

Based on what the pitch will be like today following the weekend's rugby fixture, the constant wet weather since the weekend (and in the previous weeks too...) and that we have a big home game on Saturday to consider, I think the right decision has been made. ⚫️ ⚪️ ⚫️

@BillinghamTown Good, cos @Official_Darlo have just called off tonight's match

GAME ON! Tonight's game is kindly sponsored by Picky Bits Catering. Join us at the Sovereign Supply Chain Services Ltd from 6pm tonight Picky Bits Catering: facebook.com/share/16oMtMwY… #UTT

@utb_smith Best comedy on TV

@Matt_VickersMP Oh, come on, Matt. How many cronies did your lot appoint?

Keir Starmer appoints his mates despite the fact they are not fit for high office. It's not just Mandelson. He put his Communications Director in the Lords despite his links to a child sex offender. It's time for Labour MPs to call time on this sorry mess.

Thank St George for Sam Curran #ENG

Good first half of @GeoffNorcott @arcstockton.
