@Radiojottings @tvark Paddy Feeny. Top bloke. Briefly worked on World Service Saturday Special. In it's heyday it had a vast and very very loyal audience. Paddy was a proper celebrity in ex-Colonial parts of the world.

@tvark The Anne in question being Anne Shelton, with 'Patrick Feeny', better known as Paddy of World Service Saturday Special and later Top of the Form fame

Ask Anne was an 11 episode entertainment series broadcast fortnightly on BBC tv from 30 April to 17 September 1961. Anne and her guests sing and perform songs that have been requested by the British public who are interviewed by Patrick Feeney.

@iancbeavis Perhaps it arrived on an incoming train earlier??

I've just liberated this poor disorientated Holy Blue butterfly that fluttered down & settled on the floor of the concourse at Charing Cross Station. No one else noticed it & it would likely have been trodden on. So I took it to Tunbridge Wells in one of the pots I always carry

@ConfessionsPete Honestly, you really don't care.

I've been pretending I don't care but can someone summarise what has happened with the I'm A Celebrity Stuff.....who was wrong, who was right etc?

Gordon Greenidge and Barry Richards walk out to bat for Hampshire in 1973. I don’t envy whoever was the county pro who had to open the bowling against them.

@1968Tv Know traditionalists won't like it but it's a shame the FA Cup Final didn't move with the times and copy some of the entertainment caché of the Superbowl. It might have become a worldwide watch and saved the glorious old competition.

FA Cup Final Day in the 1970s was special! #MUFC #SaintsFC #FACup

Seems quite early for a bee swarm but one high up in our nearby ancient oak this afternoon 🐝🐝

Ok it's only apple blossom but it brings a proper feel good factor. Spring is here again at last 🍎🌸🍏

@hantscricket Amazing cricketer and widely liked within the game. Many years ago we made a short documentary about his life for ITV Meridian. Sad that he's not around to impart his knowledge and skills to future generations. @theprowt

Join us in celebrating one of the finest bowlers to ever play for Hampshire, Malcolm Marshall, on what would've been his 68th birthday He took a staggering 8️⃣2️⃣6️⃣ First-Class wickets for Hampshire at an average of 1️⃣8️⃣.6️⃣4️⃣

bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… Have to say this echoes my recent experience with huge queues at passport control in France and the plane leaving behind schedule as a result. This new system might work eventually with automatic machines but manually it seems very slow and cumbersome

Bit of excitement here this morning in Odiham with an unexploded grenade being pulled out of the Basingstoke Canal by someone magnet fishing! Safely detonated by the Army in a nearby field

Thanks to a cancelled flight the chance be amble around the centre of Bordeaux this afternoon. Lovely setting with the Gardens and City Hall among the highlights

@shotsremembered And the coolest penalty taker we ever had too

35 Years Ago today, a 0-5 defeat at Torquay United brought a final end to the Len Walker era. It ends a phenomenal combined 22 years of service, which saw Len make 489 appearances a player, and return to oversee a total of 512 matches in the dugout. Aldershot Royalty.

Stunning Spring weather here in Limousin with successive days of temperatures up to 26C and cloudless skies. Glorious

@StuartA56595020 @carryontitterin It's a very close run thing. Both quality comedies

@carryontitterin Can't believe I forgot this one Pompeii Salute Naughty naughty Up pompeeiiii

Robin Askwith and Sid James shooting the Carry On film that never was - the film version of Bless This House (1972). What are your thoughts on this film?

@AlfieHouseEcho Refs make decisions based on what they see. That's how it is. It's part of the game, stop moaning and get on with it.

Eastleigh boss Richard Hill has accused EFL referee Matthew Russell of being "not fit for purpose" after his side's defeat to Sutton. Russell sent off Spitfires keeper Nick Townsend inside six minutes, before Hill deemed his performance "not acceptable". dailyecho.co.uk/sport/25967457…

Just watched a glorious old episode of TSW's "Secrets of the Coast" on @rewindtvuk . Peregrine Falcons, Heath Fritillary butterflies & a very young King Charles all starring. They don't make em like that anymore, sadly.

@carryontitterin Great film. Carry On engine with honed bodywork of Bless This House characterisation.

@MatthewOates76 Good news but early June is madness.

Purple Emperor larvae are remarkably advanced, having come through the winter in good numbers. Some started to feed last week - very early - by 'bud biting'. At this rate the butterfly will be on the wing by early June - numbers could be very high...

The European Eel is a quite extraordinary creature. It's disappeared alarmingly over the past few decades. We need to act ...

@80s_Kidz Aldershot Woolies was the best. Bring on the Brasso!

What's the first thing you think of when you remember Woolworths
