Stuck in traffic less than a mile from @VictoriousFest Portsmouth for an hour and waiting. Pretty useless organisation.

No self awareness from far-left protesters in Portland:

Chose the festive Turkey and Cranberry toasties at @CostaCoffee Big mistake. Looks awful, tastes awful, and limp - less a toastie than a soggie. #Horrible

Can't get @TicketmasterUK to respond to questions where my tickets for @IsleOfWightFest are but they have emailed inviting me to buy more! Funny that....

Hey @TicketmasterUK where are my @IsleOfWightFest tickets? Paid for them in March, still no show and - surprise surprise - no number to call and enquiries email - when you can finally find it- is 'very busy.'

@JaneArcherUK Couldn't agree more Jane. Strange decision for a government that supposedly wishes to go indie and welcome the world...

Cruise ships are being used as a punchbag for Scotland’s Covid virtue-signallers telegraph.co.uk/travel/cruises…

@emmacruises Celebrity - the Caribbean in mid-90s. We were cruise skeptics but cruise converts by the end of the week.

Which cruise line was your first cruise with? 😀💕 Mine was with Norwegian and I’ve cruised with them lots of times since, my ‘go to’ has always been to go back to Norwegian. 😀👏🏼 I’m convinced your first cruise line is always special. 😂🙏

Saying farewell to @CR_UK after five amazing years working for an amazing charity. Thank you to all the amazing patients, survivors, families, researchers and supporters I’ve had the pleasure to work with 💗 #togetherwewillbeatcancer

@JennyMakin1 @CR_UK Good luck Jenny - and well done on five fabulous years at CR_UK. You are a star!

@SallyTaylor_tv @BBCSouthNews Best wishes for a speedy recovery Sally

I thought I’d clear up a few things. As mentioned by my colleagues on @BBCSouthNews I’m recovering after a stay in hospital. Thanks for all the lovely messages- I will be back on Tv but not sure when yet!! #bepatient

"The UK media is not bigoted and will not be swayed from its vital role holding the rich and powerful to account following the attack on the press by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex": Robust statement from @EditorsUK following Meghan and Harry's interview bit.ly/3sYMRsX

"Three women who worked at a local news outlet were gunned down in eastern Afghanistan on Tuesday, according to local officials, adding to the bloody tally of Afghan media workers and journalists who have been killed at alarming rates in the past year." nyti.ms/3kDo0b6

Today is the 85th anniversary of the maiden flight of the iconic #Spitfire. Flown by pilots from all over the world, it helped change the course of WW2 and our history. We will have a fitting tribute to the aircraft and all who built and flew it in its home town #Southampton

@alisongow Autocorrect usually changes my name from Murray to Murky - which I can't really argue with...

As well as autocorrecting my name at every opportunity (people have received emails signed off Spain, Adoration, or even Sprain to name but a few) my iPhone now insists Alison is spelled Allison, Allyson or Alysson. Never, ever Alison.

Really sad news - Bob was a good friend to the BBC in Cambridge when I was Editor there - passionate about local journalism holding those in power to account...

@AdventureZandB Try smothering in English mustard...

@dankerins @milesSI Good luck on the move both. V brave in the middle of a pandemic - something to boast to the grand kids about

@Lordteazyweazy @ruthiemeech Hmmmm - enjoyed the film but historically way off the mark and every time Timothée picked up his sword I feared his arm would break. Henry V was brutally ugly having been struck in the face by a crossbow bolt at 16 and would have been a gym bunny of his day not stick thin.

@ruthiemeech Seen “The King” on Netflix yet? netflix.com/title/80182016…

@JaneArcherUK @pandocruises @SalcombeGin Trust you to find the gin Jane

A gin distillery on a #cruise ship? Well why not? I give you @pandocruises sparkling new #Iona and her very own Marabelle Gin. Cheers! @SalcombeGin

The US tv network ABC reported from London that people were staging firework displays to welcome the news that Joe Biden had won the presidency. No one told them it was Guy Fawkes night.
