@pompeychris87 @jakemeyers2015 Have a rule where if you pull out for injury, you miss the first game back for your club.

@mrdanwalker @chrishoy I was lucky enough to be offered the PSA test by the nurse at my doctor's surgery when I went in for another routine blood test.
It's actually surprising how many people I've spoken to since don't know it's now a blood test and they'll go and get checked out.

I don’t know if you know but… it’s Prostate Cancer Awareness Month.
I have been reading about @chrishoy this week and he has inspired me to post this.
Cancer is not a nice word. It sends fear into most people and so many of us are touched by it either directly or indirectly.
Last July I had a prostate screening blood test at the Canon Medical Arena in Sheffield. My dad has had prostate cancer before and now it’s back. His experience has made me far more aware of the risks and the worries so visiting the @LivingCareGroup centre felt like £15 and 15 minutes well spent.
They had 200 appointments available - all subsidised by a local charity. I posted on my social media and spent much of the day reading through the thousands of comments.
There were so many people who were struggling to get an appointment with their doctor and they just wanted that level of reassurance that comes from a simple medical test.
There were hundreds of comments about the need for a national screening programme and many more were pointing to the fact that 1 in 8 men will get prostate cancer at some point in their lives.
One email stood out above everything else for me. I have read it quite a few times.
Dear Dan,
I would like to thank you so much for talking about your visit in Sheffield for an inexpensive PSA test.
My husband lost his paternal grandfather to prostrate cancer and his cousin has terminal prostrate cancer. Although my husband used to have tests, he hasn't over the last 10 years.
Your post prompted him to go along to Living Care and take the test. After a second PSA test, an ultrasound and an MRI scan, he has been diagnosed with prostrate cancer.
It was quite a shock, but had you not posted about it that day, I don't know when he would have got tested and the cancer may have been found, not just at a later stage, but at a catastrophically later stage, like his cousin.
Obviously, it's still a worry, but I’d like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the nudge you gave him, giving him a better chance of survival.
Yours, truly gratefully…
That for me is what Prostate Cancer Awareness Month is all about. It’s about helping each other. It’s about people like this lovely lady and her husband.
It’s about simple tests.
It’s about changing lives and saving lives.

@MarkHopgoo46439 @MikeKeegan_DM Non league football is worth watching, but at a financial level it is also suffering badly. Look at the teams who have gone out of business or asked to be removed from a league for financial reasons.
Football is in a financial mess from the top to the bottom of the pyramid.

@MikeKeegan_DM Sadly it’s broken, in part, due to Sky creating the prem and I subscribe to it which doesn’t help. I love my hometown club, but I am enjoying watching non league football these days. Football has lost its magic for me.

@unitedutilities if you're telling us that you're planning work and plan to cut off the water for 3 hours, maybe have the decency to tell us that you've not started the planned work and our water isn't going to be switched off.

Conor Chaplin was undoubtedly a marquee signing for #Pompey last summer. John Mousinho on why 'it just hasn't clicked' so far. 9 games left. portsmouth.co.uk/sport/football…

@thetrainline @hayleyxnfr No they aren't. @TPExpressTrains are still not running through as there isn't the platform capacity for them even though the upper station level has reopened.
English

@hayleyxnfr Hi Hayley, I can see on our website that trains are running from Manchester Piccadilly to Glasgow Central today.
I recommend searching to see which journeys are suitable for you. Thanks, Keith

hi @thetrainline again is the manchester to glasgow service running now ?

@rcolesooner @PGATOUR @McIlroyRory @TheMasters Yes, the previous years winner gets to choose the menu for the Masters Dinner for all previous champions

@MayorofGM By raising my part of your council tax bill by a whopping 19%!!!
English

Good growth means new homes, jobs, sports facilities, green spaces, and even better transport for your community.
Today, we're taking the next step to bring good growth to every area in Greater Manchester.

So @MayorofGM can you justify the 19.4% rise in your part of my council tax bill please?
Given the current rate of inflation is 3%, how do you come up with something that is 6 times that rate?

@Footballtweet And once we get to the knockout stage, we'd still be shit!!

If Liverpool win the Champions League and Aston Villa win the Europa League (and finish outside the top five), then the Premier League would have SEVEN teams in the Champions League next season.
It would mean 7th place Brentford would qualify for the Champions League.
Imagine this happened… 🤯

@pn_neil_allen Who does our medicals when we sign players? Surely this needs to be looked at among the multitude of failures at the club regarding signings etc

Another set-back for the unfortunate Harvey Blair. Which explains his absence from #Pompey's squad against Derby last night. portsmouth.co.uk/sport/football…

@altrinchamfc The actions of a very small minority causing this. Just get those cars removed when they block driveways etc

@shrimperjon @altrinchamfc If Tesco is full, there's also a pay and display outside the ice rink. Same distance to the ground.

@altrinchamfc So we are driving nearly 4 hours to get there on Saturday and may have to park where exactly? Any suggestions? Surely the police and local authority won’t allow this to happen.
