Patrick Kidd

@MadsDavies Been to some good funerals there. And a huge fan of the vicar.

@patrick_kidd Made the mistake of not arriving early for their journalists carols and it was standing room only! Their choir is stunning

Lovely @patrick_kidd piece on Fleet Street, marking ten years after the last journalists left thetimes.com/uk/london/arti…

@CertusCC @MadsDavies Only online I'm afraid but if you click the photo in what Mads tweeted that is the link. I still pop in the Times when they'll have me, and now elsewhere too.

@MadsDavies @patrick_kidd Is it in the print edition? Can’t find it online. So miss Patrick in the Times.

@MadsDavies It's not a very long walk, but there are plenty of things that make you stop along the way (and not just the pubs). I didn't even say much about St Bride's but, as you would know, a chat with Alison (and a tour of her crypt, if lucky) could fill 1,000 words on its own

@patrick_kidd Inspired me to do a mini walking tour following your piece!

@HackBlackburn Always felt exercise was bad for you

We were so robbed

@devicesadesires I’m disappointed Geoff Hoon was passed over

@patrick_kidd @Blackheath_1858 Were you celebrating the great rugby victory or the return of Brown and Harman to the inner circle of power ?

Blimey, we won. No try for Billy Harding, for the first time this season, but he created the first try as @Blackheath_1858 beat Plymouth 22-10 to reach the Championship accession final. I love these guys.

@devicesadesires @Blackheath_1858 I’m told that 616 pints were sold at the pop-up bar beside where I stand. I did my bit

@patrick_kidd @Blackheath_1858 Congratulations. Celebrate mightily !

We’re graced by the presence of a former World Cup finalist and grand slam winner for this afternoon’s big match. (And Mickey Skinner is watched over by a portrait of @Blackheath_1858’s most famous fictional player, Dr Watson)

“This is your Everest, boys.” After their best season in my 21 years of watching, @Blackheath_1858 today have a chance to return to level two, which we left in 1999. In my programme column I burble on about how we need a Jim Telfer moment from our Albert zee-on.com/article/that-t…

@Lambpie1973 @Blackheath_1858 Thank you. Cheer loudly from there!

@patrick_kidd @Blackheath_1858 I’ve got everything crossed for them. Sadly it’s a bit far to make it from Gloucester to Well Hall

@HarryTaylr From one person facing an anxious big playoff match today to another: good luck!

Finally on route to South Shields for the playoff final. Come on Harriers, let's do this.

Newcastle-under-Lyme was the first council won by Reform in the elections. I went there for @ObserverUK to find out why the Red Wall was turning to rubble. Aptly for their withdrawal from the field, the Labour HQ is based on a road called Dunkirk observer.co.uk/news/national/…

@WalkTheLinesLDN If we don't include Tim Southee

@patrick_kidd @HomeOfCricket Think he’s still the only main point of the compass Test player, yes?

Marcus North chosen as the new England cricket selector and they’ve already named a gate after him at Lord’s. Prescient by @HomeOfCricket

@patrick_kidd @HomeOfCricket But spare a thought today for the runner-up, Trevor Bicentenary.

Commiserations to Sir David Attenborough on his 100th birthday, as he is now too old to be allowed to play with LEGO.

I hope Reform are going to deport all these potholes that have come over here in recent years
