@LAJwriter @bushontheradio Do you eat a lot of toast? 😁

Our 7 year old Thea has declared that she's bored of the same old spreads (marmite, peanut butter & jam) what else should she try on her toast?

@stephenRB4 Always.

Do you read the acknowledgement page/s of a novel or just skip past?

@sharrond62 @AmandaPCraig I've been done by them so many times. I no longer fly them. Nor Queasyjet.

Ryanair pays staff to catch big cabin bags. It’s working! Reason I won’t travel Ryan air, after many cancelled flights this 👎🏼My daughter travelled recently, she asked at check in if her bag was ok was told yes to be told no at the gate & £60 demanded! thetimes.com/article/e6c4c6…

The highest quality video of the moon was just released… this is so beautiful.

@sturgios Come on, try harder..

Decided to go for a more austere and understated look for the simnel cake this Easter

@richardaeden Joyrnalists have been saying this for 40 years! No one could ever stand it up though!

Is royal biographer Andrew Lownie going much too far? He's now claiming that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is not Prince Philip's son. Lownie alleges that the former Prince Andrew is the son of the late Queen Elizabeth and her racing manager, 'Porchie', the 7th Earl of Carnarvon

Céline Dion, Scott Mills, mobile phone crime, the truth about the Cyprus tourism industry, original rock PR Keith Altham, and the true meaning of Easter: all in my column today @Daily_Express, with thanks énorme @MattNixson & Kat Hopps. 🐰

@bushontheradio A Pink Floyd album?

I love you, Ray. But having known the subject in real life is not the primary pre-requisite of biography, is it. None of William Shakespeare's biographers ever met him. Clare Tomalin never knew Charles Dickens. A competent biographer conjures a life by researching the subject's life. Having known the Fabs for real, your fine accounts are effectively memoir. Again, I love you. ❤️❤️

Most authors who now write about the Beatles weren't there and didn't know them. I was there and I certainly knew them. amazon.co.uk/s?k=ray+connol…

@mrmarkdolan April Fool! 🤣❤️

🚨MARK DOLAN STATEMENT: I got it wrong and I’m sorry ⬇️

Can I express a hope British journalism as whole gives more airtime and space to the deaths of three journalists in Lebanon than the social media scuffle about an interview on Newscast.

Orchids in America

@saniyafatma1278 It's gorgeous. Wear it and be damned. ❤️

I'm sitting in my bedroom staring at my grandmother's 1950s wedding dress, and I honestly don't know what to do anymore. Found it in her attic last month - sixty-four dollars was all she paid for it back then. The moment I saw all that delicate lace and the full skirt, my heart just melted. It felt like finding buried treasure. But apparently I'm the only one who thinks so. My sister took one look and said, "You're not seriously considering wearing that old thing, are you?" My best friend was even worse - "Nobody wears sleeves like that anymore, and that neckline is way too conservative. You'll look like you're playing dress-up." Their words keep echoing in my head, making me second-guess everything. But when I put this dress on, I feel connected to something bigger than trends and Pinterest boards. I feel like I'm honoring the woman who raised me, who taught me that real beauty doesn't need to scream for attention. I already found this incredible seamstress on Tedooo app who specializes in vintage alterations. She was so sweet when I explained the story, and she's going to take in the waist and adjust the hem while keeping every bit of the original character intact. I've already paid her deposit, and honestly, even if I hadn't, I don't want to change a single thing. Posted about it in a DIY group yesterday hoping for encouragement, and while people offered suggestions for "modernizing" it, I realized something important. This dress doesn't need to be fixed or updated or made trendy. It's perfect exactly as it is. I'm done asking for permission to love what I love. If walking down the aisle in my grandmother's dress makes me happy, then that's exactly what I'm going to do. Sometimes the most beautiful choice is the one that feels right in your heart, even when everyone else thinks you're crazy.

@RefindPhil @mikeparry8 We did! Indeed, I miss it too!

@LAJwriter @mikeparry8 I remember you covering this story on PlanetPorky. The podcast is still very much missed! x.com/y2kpopart/stat…

@sturgios Followed by sackloads of cash? It'll be loan sharks next ...

New Jason Statham film project just dropped

I’m not happy about the creep of ‘gotten’ into common usage. I’ve read it several times in the last few days, including in The Times (The Times, forsooth!) Come on now, we’re not American.
