Things I won't miss from this World Cup; Stupid half time shows. Americans may have the attention span of a goldfish, but the rest of the world does not. Save it for your pointless superb owl crap 👍

@andyburnham You start taxing small businesses even more, then you're a dead man walking. Support the people who support Britain.

The next few days are about more than changing who governs Britain. They’re about changing how Britain is governed.

Two years ago we made history in Clacton. Now I am asking you to vote for me and do the same again.

@sscmark Yes, although it seems to be getting more use than a lot of people would have you believe. It's a big improvement for my commute & I look forward to when it is finished.

Heading down to old Laaaaandon Tawwn today to Wembley to see a gig I've waited over 20 years for and I've genuinely never been so excited for a concert 😂

@au_tom_otive Yeah, seen that, but I'm a sucker for the Gulf colours. Will have a ponder

@sscmark Wouldn’t be the first! I pondered wrapping mine in Renault Williams blue and fitting gold Clio rims and decals on mine… 🙈

I’m not into bikes, but I’ve had this Sunbeam S7 for maybe 10 years. It came in part exchange a long time ago. Anyway, if any of my followers love old bikes - it’s in pretty mint condition and we start it every year and it runs great. Please like and share and put your bid in the comments!

@DaleVince @JeremyClarkson Correction.....you put an electric drive train in a Lotus Exige, you didn't "build an electric car" you swapped the powertrain on an existing car. Any fool can do that.

.@JeremyClarkson once famously described me, in his column in the Times - as the man whose name he can’t be bothered to remember. That was after we had just built Britain’s first electric car (the Nemesis) and he kicked back at the whole idea of electric cars - of course. I took it all in the spirit of old dinosaur\bufferdom it was intended in, right?..:) Fast forward a little over ten years, Clarkson has been so infected with the eco virus - we built a windmill on his farm….:) @DiddlySquatFarm @britwind

I utterly detest @MercedesBenzUK service centres. Our daughters Smart ForFour has a minor gearbox issue, but because there's no fault code @SytnerMB Bristol are unable to repair it, despite their tecnician having experience the issue when on a drive. This is the same service centre who were unbale to repair the GLA 3 years ago, (it kept misfiring & going into limp mode on the motorway) as there was no fault code. Modern tecnicians are ultimately useless if the computer say no.
