@eddiemacbawa @smiley_cfc @ChelseaFC Fair point

@tim_rolls @smiley_cfc @ChelseaFC Does "our Brian" from corrie count as a celeb ?

On this evening in 1988 was at Hammersmith Odeon to watch @ChelseaFC in play off game v Middlesbrough. Despite picking out the winners in Save the Bridge lottery, Coronation Street actor Chris Quentin made mistake of celebrating Boro second goal...and got chased out of theatre...

@StephenPie @anon_opin Oi, Hampton Wick is my station and we have enough delays as it is...😉

@anon_opin They should go back to old train compartments and we should all be 11 minutes late due to signal problems in Hampton Wick

Trains should have "Business Class" instead of "First Class". Better sets standards of behaviour. It's not a social class thing, it's a shush thing.

@robertrea @FlickRea Very sorry to hear that, Robert. Condolences to you and your family.

I’m very sad to have to say that my mother @FlickRea ,who served with distinction as the Liberal Democrat councillor for Fortune Green ward on Camden Council for 35 years until her retirement in 2021, died early this morning at the age of 88. She’d been ill for some time.

@NiceGuyKenny @TrueBlue_Terry 🙄😄

@TrueBlue_Terry I remember down Simmonds with you and @tim_rolls celebrating his 40th. Was a scorcher.

@robertrea I would add Hato but, as you say, it is not a long list

I’m not doing a list of who should stay and who should go at Chelsea this summer, but which players would Chelsea fans actually be genuinely upset about if they left. Here’s my own list: James Colwill Pedro Caicedo Palmer Estevao Blimey. It’s not long

@ShedUpperMan You were two rows in front of us yesterday, Ramzi, and looked as hacked off as I was.

@tim_rolls Honestly Tim, I’m starting to question why I bother. The number of games where we have been on it from the start can be counted on one hand. Brainless red cards, apathetic moaning, outrun by everyone, sideways football. Can’t stand most of the players either! 😂

Tenth. With that budget, that transfer activity and all the hoopla from the suits. Below Bournemouth, Sunderland, Brighton and Brentford. Shameful. I don't swear on here very often but the word wan*ers seems the only appropriate one

@PopQuizDaily 1986?

Pop quiz daily from my jukebox. "Feel So Real" by Steve Arrington was at #8 on 24 May. In which year? (23/5:1979)

@PhilBeeson1 @MIBIAL Quite possibly 😧

@tim_rolls @MIBIAL You need to learn a North Eastern accent Tim. Southerners premium pricing.

Up ludicrously early en route to Sunderland for a potential ECL qualification decider🤔. Safe trip to all going up, see some of you up there.

@CFCCath I mocked @SmiffyEastStand earlier for bringing a jacket but he might have had a point

Thought Newc/Sunderland was gona be as hot as London so no cardigan or jacket. Looks like a visit to JD sports is beckoning …

@MartinKnight_ I think we had a few of those in Camberley. IIRC they were private roads and the residents were responsible for road maintenance (and presumably other services as well). I might be completely wrong of course, it was 50 plus years ago

Never seen this on a road sign before. “Unadopted”. What Forest mean in this context.

@AndrewClement6 Quite possibly.

@tim_rolls Very impressive. You must be mad !

@MIBIAL 👍Just paid £3.50 for a pot of tea. In Sunderland😧. The world's gone mad

@tim_rolls Some cracking trips to be had in the Conference, Tim, as we had last year! See you in Sunderland.

@sirichkirby Loads of Chelsea on my flight, no surprise

@tim_rolls Safe travels Tim!! At times like this I’m grateful to live in the Midlands (plus travelling up last night helps!!)

@PopQuizDaily 1980?

Pop quiz daily from my jukebox. "Masquerade" by The Skids charted on 23 May. In which year? (22/5:1973)

@GeorgeSmileyOBE We had a decent trip there in the cup, so not too upset with them coming up tbh

Hull City coming up just saved the EFL a lot of problems.. Litigation wise..

@jillwebb2005 Sorry to hear that, Jill. Hope you are on the mend

Wishing the legend aka #JerryDammers a happy 71st birthday. The Specials - Do Nothing youtu.be/0S1BC0XVB6s Apologies for missing so much lately. I have been unwell. Hope you have a good holiday weekend. 📸 LGI Stock

@PopQuizDaily 1987?

Pop quiz daily from my jukebox. "If You Let Me Stay" by Terence Trent D'Arby was at #33 on 21 May. In which year? (20/5:1982)
