@claremcdonnell1 @bbc5live @BBCSounds Oh, @claremcdonnell1, you're brilliant whichever team you are working with, but we do miss you and @tonylivesey on Drive. Hopefully after the Olympics? Please!

What a bunch. @bbc5live Breakfast @BBCSounds

@Mr_Gnome @RGCWbaritone @cheltfestivals 🤣

I know I’m going to enjoy tomorrow’s recital in Cheltenham, but having looked closely at my ticket I’m very slightly apprehensive. Let’s hope singer and accompanist don’t appear masked and gowned… @RGCWbaritone @cheltfestivals

@susie_dent What beautiful words. Thank you.

I love how the word 'atone' wears its heart on its sleeve. It began as 'at one', because to atone is to bring back unity. Atonement is really 'at-one-ment'. In the same way, 'alone' began as 'all one'.

@susie_dent Every single day!!! I'm so glad there's a word for it.

Word of the Day is ‘limbeck’ (16th century): to fatigue the brain with attempts to extract something useful from it.

@Mr_Gnome @valmcdermid Dear Mr Keegan, can you recommend something short(ish), contemporary and a good starting point for someone who wants to get back into reading?

I’ve been saving this to be my first read of 2024. And, of course, Val McDermid has delivered magnificently. Yes, an intriguing plot, believable characters, but also a remarkable awareness of the complexity of human life. Perceptive, poignant and passionate. Hurrah! @valmcdermid

@BunburyHarry Hello mate. You are right in your element here.

@bethtweddlenews Like it was yesterday...A beautiful memory. Beth the best

Can't believe it was 17 years ago. Will never forgot the feeling that evening. Memories to treasure.

@annaefoster @BBCNews Grateful as always for your reporting. Take care @annaefoster

The fears a new northern front could open in #IsraelGazaWar if Hezbollah decides to get involved. It’d be a devastating escalation that would draw in the whole region. Our @BBCNews report from the Israel-Lebanon border on the military build-up and the families already fleeing.

@bbcf1 I think you are still broadcasting on the on-line live stream. I can hear one half of a conversation!!

Strange, to have Middle East Correspondent @annaefoster reporting on the Crooked House pub fire and demolition. Always good to hear her on the radio and TV.

@bobgreaves_x Brilliant Beau

Matchplay champion ❤️

@OfficialPDC @Betfred Can't wait!

The 2023 @Betfred Women’s World Matchplay takes place in Blackpool this afternoon... Fallon Sherrock is bidding to retain her title, with top seed Beau Greaves set to headline at the Winter Gardens! Tournament preview ✍️👇

@Ruthmac9969 @armholes11 @bbc5live @tonylivesey @gigi_salmon @claremcdonnell1 And our's

@armholes11 @bbc5live @tonylivesey @gigi_salmon @claremcdonnell1 I agree, Mr Livesey is a legend in our house. I hope he just having a break this year and back next year ..

WimbleDrive won't be making a return this year... 🎤🎾Wimbledon veteran @TonyLivesey won't be joining @Gigi_Salmon and the 5 Live team this year, he's handing the mic to @ClareMcDonnell1. 😂Tony gave Clare his advice on working alongside 'professionals' during the tournament.

@Lionesses Not sure there is anything much better in football than a free-flowing, winning Lioness team.

Another brace from Michelle Agyemang and a goal from Ava Baker helped England seal their place in the #U17WEURO semi-finals 💪

@LemanWalters Just listened to Klaus Nomi perform The Cold Song. Oh my word! Need to explore some more of this extraordinary talent. Thank you for the introduction.

@KattyKay_ what a surprise and delight to see you and @CFraserBBC together again on the news channel. Really miss the special relationship you two shared. Hope all is well.

@rebeccarobins0n You lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky... I was only yesterday re-watching highlights of Euro 22. Hope she's on the mend.

@LemanWalters Cheers. I will check out the Purcell and the Klaus Naomi cover. I'm sure they will give me a different insight on this piece. Not surprised people walked out, it's tough going, but ultimately worth it. You have cool parents!

@imagerybyjake Oh absolutely! My mum and dad loved this piece from when they saw it in the cinema (a fair few people walked out apparently) and I’ve came to it from the film. Based on The Cold Song by Purcell, defo check that out if you haven’t (and the cover by Klaus Naomi)

The sound of irrevocable tragedy. youtube.com/watch?v=SjIObp…

@LemanWalters Have you seen The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover? If not, it's a bit difficult to watch in parts but worth the effort in every minute of screen time. The colour palette is beautifully curated and Nyman's music is essential.

@imagerybyjake Fantastic! I know nothing else like it
