@ArthurPDen52570 @hellothisisivan I have a copy of Defoe's Journal of the Plague Year inscribed to Eva from Uncle Jack in 1911. I wonder how her life turned out

@hellothisisivan I get old annuals sometimes, often inscribed by grandparents as christmas gifts back in the 1970's. Makes me slightly teary as they must be long gone by now, also they often have the same handwriting as my old gran and shes been gone 30 years.

Inside the book I’m reading. Where are you now, Beverly Sharp?

@NoContextCounty Murray Goodwin hitting a 4 down to long leg to give Sussex their first ever Championship. Champagne in the stands and for the batters. SBTS over the speakers and I remembered my dad, who'd have loved it

Name a County Championship moment you'll never forget

@TouchlineX That's not true. If it was "Only six teams have played in every PL season and not been relegated", it would be. But that's not what was said. As it was written, Brighton and Brentford have never been relegated.

🚨 𝗗𝗜𝗗 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗞𝗡𝗢𝗪: Only 6 teams have never been relegated from the Premier League: • Arsenal • Chelsea • Manchester United • Liverpool • Everton • Tottenham

@PictureSporting It's not lost though, it's still there, just not used for county cricket. Now, Hastings, there's a Sussex ground that's really been lost

Another lost outground ... the Manor Ground in Worthing hosted 43 first-class matches, with Sussex holding a week there between 1935 and 1964 However, in 1964 the wicket was poor with only one innings in the two Championship games passing 200 and Sussex being bowled out for 23 by Warwickshire. A few weeks later Sussex announced matches scheduled there for 1965 had been moved to Hove because the pitch was "not of a first-class standard" and they have not returned

@lining_laura @joey_hann @its_The_Dr Rugby refs do. I fully expect that every time I carry out a nail check before a women/girls match there will be someone whose nails need clipping. If I'm reffing a female game, I'll always carry some, most refs I know do

@joey_hann @its_The_Dr But why carry nail clippers around on your keys? Cutting nails is something you do as part of your personal hygiene in bathroom etc .I certainly wouldn’t enjoy somebody sitting in my office or over dinner cutting nails.

I don’t have a clue what that little hole is for do you?

@WG_RumblePants It's a lovely ground to play on, but given its location, there is always a decent crowd watching you - it's not the place to drop a goober.

Today’s beautiful cricket ground is Kew Green, home of Kew CC

@ChrisJG06 @WG_RumblePants If Stokes has had enough, I'd pick Simpson as a stopgap captain, until Brooks is up for it ( don't think he's ready yet). Simpson won't go on for years but he's transformed Sussex and would be just the person to pull England together.

@WG_RumblePants Simpson a fine keeper and in great form with the bat over the past two seasons but maybe slightly too old now, which is a shame

For what it’s worth, this is who Chat GPT would select for 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 based on Championship results in 2025. Some I like. Some I wouldn’t pick. Haseeb Hameed Dom Sibley James Coles Saif Zaib Rehan Ahmed John Simpson (wk) George Hill Tom Taylor Kyle Abbott Jack Leach Jamie Porter

Just received my latest copy of County Cricket Matters - a great read, as always. Thank you @AnnieChave. Perhaps the travails of England in Australia should remind us of the importance of red ball cricket.

@nimishdubey @alawyerwrites @DaveRob13699163 @fredfertang @CraigNelsy @tds122 @WG_RumblePants @Koushik_laribee @indranil9 Interestingly, only three of the players pictured on that front cover played in the opening test of the series - and WG retired from international cricket after that game. Only two of those pictured played in the 2nd test

Remember them? These handy books used to come out just before a major series, and used to feature "Tit-Bits about play and players" and featured, "batting & bowling averages, fixtures, etc."This one was published just before the 1899 Ashes. Of course, WG Grace is front and centre

@MattOakleyMojo It really bugged me that they didn't give us the answer to that question. I'd have said 14, but it could have been 15 (if you count Hamlet's dad). But someone on another group said it should be people who died on-stage, in which it's 9. It was a terrible question to ask

“I’m off to check how many people died in Hamlet" sounds like something Jim Royle would say as he exited the living room with a newspaper under his arm. #CelebrityTraitors

@SanjayK27310177 @nimishdubey @alawyerwrites @DaveRob13699163 @fredfertang @CraigNelsy @tds122 @WG_RumblePants @Koushik_laribee @indranil9 Collie Smith died in 1959, Muhammad Ali was an unknown amateur boxer then. I agree with the above that this was in 1966

@nimishdubey @alawyerwrites @DaveRob13699163 @fredfertang @CraigNelsy @tds122 @WG_RumblePants @Koushik_laribee @indranil9 If I am not wrong Collie Smith is standing behind Sobers. A brilliant career which was tragicaly cut short.

The Greatest with...well, the Greatest. Muhammad Ali. Gary Sobers. 1966.

Here's a paradox, as the world gets more and more connected, it's getting harder to contact people. Companies make it ever harder for customers to get in touch but @Aegon take it to the limit - no email address, no phone number. You have to do better than that

@ZoharAtkins @gregorykennedy It's a great quote but it was from Shelley's In Defence of Poetry, not by Keats. It will be good to see more companies acknowledge the worth of content providers

@gregorykennedy “Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world.” - Keats

Overheard in Palo Alto. CEO: "This copy sucks." CMO: "We fired all our content people and just use ChatGPT now." CEO: "Well, hire them back."

@Bobby_Seagull Well said. Some disgraceful comments being made

If you watch a quiz like #UniversityChallenge and your first instinct is to go on social media and attack quizzers, you have a problem.

@CCalcistica @TFHBs Is that Di Stefano, half hidden, behind Yashin's hand?

@TFHBs At this point in time, these would probably have been regarded as 3 of the 4 greatest players in history? (alongside Di Stefano)

Start your day with an amazing photo - Stanley Matthews is carried by legendary goalkeepr Lev Yashin and Hungarian icon Ferenc Puskas after his testimonial match. (1965) Colourised: George Chilvers

@charlesarthur Have you heard Senor Coconut? Kraftwerk songs done Latin American style? One or two sound good but the joke wears thin after a while.

Really stoked for my idea of a folk band doing covers of Kraftwerk songs.

I know that England's performance has been a bit of a horror show, but, Virgin Media, should a test match really require a parental pin to watch because the programme started after 9 o'clock?

@OfficialBHAFC, your Rainbow Laces survey is an object lesson in how not to do research. If you ask a question where 'none of the above' is an option then you're asking respondents to lie:what's the point of that? Your demographic options are poor (& learn to spell 'separate')

@pitchblacksteed It's my favourite series. The Witchsmeller Pursuivant episode was brilliant (Frank Finlay really enjoying himself) and the episode has Peter Cook. What more could you want?

Poor old series 1 #Blackadder often gets a battering on here. I started this page because of my admiration for that series. It’s clear many fans hate it, some tolerate it and those with good taste love it. I say it’s a masterpiece. Fans, send me some love for S1.

@albionroar @POF_POD @OfficialBHAFC @KieranMaguire @kevinhunterday Good to see you too, Adie. Fascinating evening

@maxcooter @POF_POD @OfficialBHAFC @KieranMaguire @kevinhunterday Good to see you Max 👍

Really interesting to go to live @POF_POD session. Fascinating stuff, especially to hear that @OfficialBHAFC are currently planning up to 2030; for some clubs, that would mean 8.30 tonight. Thanks @KieranMaguire and @kevinhunterday
