This used to work before... You know... But trying: If you're a freelance writer in Cannes next week, or a writer up for some freelance, DM me asap, you've got a commission. Please RT.

@patrick_kidd @ASBlackheath Haha. Bowled in the right place, fielder in the right place, easy game, really... That was fun. At Barnes CC.

@edccraig @ASBlackheath I will always remember you for holding three catches off my bowling in the Journalists Ashes match! All on the deep mid-wicket boundary!

Today is my last day on staff at The Times after more than 20 years and I see that the clock @ASBlackheath stopped at 5.25am. A nice tribute by the Almighty (or Auden) but we did only have it serviced yesterday morning and now I’ll have to shin up into the tower to give it a kick

Tied Test incoming #ENGvSL

If Bazball wants to be true its Bazball ideology, England should declare #EngvSL

@StocksC_cricket @iPaperSport This is spot on. As an MCC member, I believe the club should do more to spread the game around the country... Like not hosting two matches every year, and maybe even none some years! Given Durham a chance in July or August (for instance).

England play six home Tests a summer. So why does Lord's, a bastion of elitism where ticket prices are sky high, get two of them? Piece for @iPaperSport inews.co.uk/sport/cricket/…

@edccraig this might bring back memories for you 😁

The ending of Joyce's "Eveline" is worth a mention here

An Olympics story.

@adambecket read your piece on following cycling with non-cycling fans. Lovely read. Try being a cricket fan / journalist on your own, explaining 'five days and no winner'. All the best sports are mad and make no sense – till they do.

@christhebarker He was everywhere. Like a rash. We needed a cream for him.

@edccraig He wasn’t in the studio though?

Unless I’m mistaken, this is the London 2012 Daily programme team watching (I believe) Bolt qualify for the 100m - knowing full well we’d already sent the next day’s cover to press with Bolt on it… Look at all those pages on the wall too. 2012 was twelve years ago.

@paulpunter @christhebarker @JarvoB *selling

@paulpunter @christhebarker @JarvoB When I went to the games, I kept pestering the people seeking the programmes, asking if people liked them, or if they'd sold lots. I basically wanted to say "me me me" at them. #noiinteam

@christhebarker I remember SK taking a load of video on, erm, an iPad. Not sure why. I guess he thought big screen = big camera. I bet he's still got the video. 12 years...

And I think this is the only picture of me from then. Can you imagine taking on a project like that and not filming at least some of it? The world has changed a lot in those twelve years.

The moment you find out Dominic Raab isn't your MP any more... And you realise.... We made it MONICA!!! #Esher #WaltonOnThames

To represent the people of Finchley and Golders Green is the honour of my lifetime. Thank you for the trust you’ve placed in me. I promise to be a local champion and public servant, whomever you voted for. There is so much that needs doing. We had better get to work 🌹

They didn’t stand up and fight for Penny 😢

@legsidelizzy Best take and makes me feel a lot better (see you Sunday)

My prediction is that even if they do get 13, they’ll be down to half a dozen within a year because of unearthed scandal, infighting or them realising that you actually have to do some work as an MP and not just bloviate racist crap.

Super special moment. First time vote for my daughter and she’s voting for her mum! Vote for a #FreshStart for our young people. Vote for a brighter future. Vote @libdems #EsherandWalton #MakeItMonica #GeneralElection2024 #Hope #PollingDay
