@Tim_Burgess @thecharlatans CUD. It was the first gig I ever went to, 1988 I think? CUD were supporting The Wedding Present, I’d never heard of them before but they brilliant, and i spent the next year pretty much living in a CUD T-shirt.

OK, let’s have ‘em Who have you seen as a support band that you then went on to love and become a fan of?? Or someone who became HUGE - or both. Answers below please…

I’ll share stage times each day but if you can, please head to the show in time to catch The Cords, we think you’ll love them Nearly every big band you love started out as an opening act - us included. Please support the supports! Tim x

In a fucking coma from 2019 to 2022 were you?

@WG_RumblePants The two greats in that lineup, Root and Stokes, have arguably caused the most headaches for the selectors over the years. If Root had knuckled down at number 3, and if Stokes had been a reliable 4th seamer, life might have been easier?

Bethell Duckett Smith or Rew Root Brook Rew or Smith (wk) Stokes When you write it down, it doesn’t look bad as a top 7 🤔🤷 I’m not even convinced myself that this would be the way to go. It’s just something I’m mulling over. And, yes, I know that Bethell’s not an established opener and I do remember the failed Dan Lawrence experiment 😬 I’d counter that, however, with the fact that Lawrence isn’t even a number 3 — he’s a number 5 or 6 — and that Bethell’s probably a better batter than Lawrence and has a (gulp) “higher ceiling” 🤦 What do you reckon? Have I gone mad?

@JohnCleese Your massive male ego has struck, again.

It suddenly struck me as odd, that at a time when the world is totally fucked by massive male egos, we are all being told of the advantages of a religion which glorifies and inflates and enables the male ego and protects it from any criticism

@TheBarmyArmy Sid Lawrence

You can pick ONE player to have an injury-free career (from beginning to end), who are you choosing?

@ScarredForLife2 The Crowman was like the most terrifying teacher you ever had, but would be there to tend your wounds and put you back together after a beating from a bully.

It's Sunday afternoon - time for Worzel Gummidge! How about THE CROWMAN (1979), an episode which saw Worzel don his infamous Handsome Head and propose to a female scarecrow, who proceeds to beat him with a broom and dismember him. Folk horror fun for all the family!

@tds122 I reckon sharing a dressing room with Ronnie Irani, Dermot Reeve, and Phil Tufnell would have become tiresome.

Bit boring . Let's make it more interesting - send me your cricket pricks XI

@tds122 Mark Alleyne, captained a ruthless one day outfit which dominated domestic cricket for 7 years, but did it in such an unassuming lovable way. A great guy.

Who would make a true Gentlemen of cricket XI ? i'll start - Kane Williamson

@WG_RumblePants Ray Illingworth, no nonsense, play hard, however tough the opponent he’d have the doggedness and backbone to win.

Imagine you’re a newly capped international cricketer. You’re a bit nervous, very excited and you’re ready for your first international match. Which player or former player would you want as your skipper on your debut? Who would get the best out you? Rather predictably, I’ll go with the innovator, PGH Fender. Arguably one of the best captains England never had. Marvellous cravat too.

@joshtoole91 Wanker

Thoughts with those that wanted a fatality in the grand national today. 34 horses set out and 34 back home. Yes a couple of battle wounds but that’s the same With any horse race

@5liveSport Drama? Drama invented by weirdo animal abusers, I’m sure the horses wouldn’t choose to be whipped over high fences until exhausted for your drama.

🐎 "I Am Maximus - what a performance!" 🎙️ Here's how John Hunt called the 2026 Grand National at Aintree... 🤩 Commentary to match the drama!

@rachlytham94 You gamble with its life for a few quid, what tears will you be shedding when it doesn’t survive this abhorrent race? Scumbag.

Lots of happy tears with Iroko finishing 2nd in the Grand National😭. So lucky to have the privilege to play a small part in his career, giving us days we will never forget. An absolute gentlemen and loved by everyone around him. Iroko the whole team love you so much ❤️

@BroadcastMoose @WillieMullinsNH If the horse doesn’t die before he whips it over the winning line then maybe. Abhorrent.

Well done JP McManus, @WillieMullinsNH & Paul Townend, and of course I Am Maximus on winning today’s Grand National. Can he equal Red Rum’s record of 3 next year?

@holybulll There should be nothing like the Grand National, it should be banned, you cruel weirdo.

Love or hate the Grand National, there is still nothing like it. I was sat in a packed pub in a small rural town and everyone was there to watch the race. The bar sweepstake sold out (got the last ticket for Beauport!) and there were about 5 racing posts strewn across the tables. This is still the race that stops a nation. Long live the National!

@liamcsc You’re definitely wired wrong.

They are specifically created and bred for racing. The horse would never be born otherwise. I don't understand the hand-wringing about this stuff. Life is suffering. No living creature is owed a comfortable existence. The horse served it's purpose, put it down and stop crying.

@declanmeagher76 @BobbyBailey77 Wanker

All horses and jockeys ok after the Grand National. The animal rights brigade will be gutted.

@BHAHorseracing God, if they’re is any justice you lot will be whipped over a finish line with a broken back for eternity in hell.

James Given, the BHA's Director of Equine Regulation, Safety and Welfare, provides an update and explains the circumstances relating to the sad loss of Gold Dancer this afternoon. More info on safety and welfare in racing: horsepwr.co.uk

@talkSPORT How many times have we got to listen to Lizzie and Rupert’s bs defence of animal cruelty on your station? For as long as betting companies fund you, and you lot enjoy a free piss up I suppose, fucking scum.

Lizzie Kelly insists "absolutely no way" Paul Townend knew Gold Dancer broke back before tragic death #Echobox=1775833562" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">talksport.com/sport/4175813/…

@prodnose That office setting looked so modern back in the day, open plan, suspended ceiling, bright, light, and a hive of activity. Totally opposite to the dark brick cubby holes of British office blocks. Now we’ve caught up, the prototype of every Call Centre, and they’re bloody horrible

Every time you see clips from movies like this all you want to do is watch the film from beginning to end again. In the case of ATPM - is there anything like this still being made?
