@TheRegencyCook Mrs B and I - breakfast generally takes over an hour. Chatting, Instagram, patience and Wordle, mainly. Radio 3. An hour and a half isn't uncommon. Mrs. B: orange juice, Weetabix, coffee. Me: coffee, smoothie, tea and toast. The sequence never varies.

Breakfast? Love it or can't be bothered? Do let me know if you are a breakfast lover or hater. For more about breakfast you may like to consider my upcoming Regency breakfast class. Link is here: bit.ly/RegencyBreakfa…

@cbnewham Am assuming it was like Toy Story and that all was still while you were present... no clattering of skull jaws, etc.

@SoVeryBritish Land safely.

What’s your favourite thing to do in an airport?

@SoVeryBritish Indiana Jones and the Mini Cheddar of Confusion

The next Indiana Jones film title is “Indiana Jones and the” - last thing you ate - “of” - your most constant mood

@Dempster2000 Sorry to speak ill of the departed, but... John Noakes. Apart from being intensely irritating, the poor chap was onto a loser from the start as his presence denied this ten year-old lad of more Valerie Singleton (major crush) screen-time.

@alexthedarklord @greatesthitsuk John Betjeman's hymn book and prayer book. Given to my parents, and then given to me.

With $600,000 been shelled out for Curt Cobain’s smashed guitar. You got any celeb memorabilia? I’ve got Mick Grabham’s plectrum. (Procol Harum) @greatesthitsuk #besttimeofthedayshow

@icod The location 'Provence' puts me off. Makes me wonder whether I'm going to be subjected to some insipid, Seasalt/Waitrose type of experience.

Just reading a review about a book and in the first paragraph it says it’s set in a windmill. This has put me off the book. What *one feature* of a novel turns you off?

Fascinating bit of 'behind the scenes'

@BBCNews What is it that trans women identify with most? The glass ceiling? Lower pay? The menopause?

@OnThisDayShe So a possible contender for the longest-lasting mark made by a human is an impression in sand? Blimey.

@ephemeracity 'Upcycling' - 1) someone being 'creative' with a bit of crap in the delusion it's going to look better than when they took it out of the skip, or 2) vandalising a beautiful antique until it looks like something that came from a 1960s student squat.

Thanks are due to Bargain Hunt for this toe-curling upcycled lamp monstrosity. Needless to say it lost a fiver

@michelrouxjr What debate? Right and wrong is beyond any debate. Jam first. Obviously.

Jam first every time 😋 #thegreatdebate

@jerrysaltz "Antelope. Medium rare."

Hello Capitalism my old friend.

Still my favourite football photo of all time

@rorybremner @jennyeclair @mrmarksteel @grammyhowes Do you remember we did a show at a Masonic Lodge in Edinburgh (1976, I believe!)? Was it this one?

1984. Where on earth are they now? ⁦@jennyeclair⁩ ⁦@mrmarksteel⁩

@typejunky @MirandaWhiting Twitter's always defaulted to a random pile of rubbish, but it used to be OUR random pile of rubbish.

@SoVeryBritish To people who use teabags - why?

To people who leave used tea bags in the sink - why?

@Morris_Oxford Look like base metal (once plated?), so would guess sports medals from the same club.Unlikely to be lots of different designs for watch fobs? Decoration very much in keeping with items sold by trophy suppliers.

Question: what are these and why? Are they watch chain fobs? Prizes or awards or something? Two show signs of being silver plated. It's a very 'Oxford city' or Morris Motors looking Ox, but it's not fording anything so maybe it's nothing to do with Oxfordshire at all?

@icod Just glower. Worked wonders for me, voice or no voice.

So I’ve no voice at all beyond a whisper. And I’ve got 5 hours of teachin’ ahead of me. I’ve done it before ..

@audinarymusic This is brilliant. thank you for sharing. There is a wonderful, very affectionate programme about him by someone who must be one of his biggest fans, KT Tunstall.

Centenary of Ivor Cutler's birth yesterday, but I forgot to celebrate the anniversary. Belatedly, here's a snapshot of life in a Scotch sitting room. youtu.be/VS-uDupJCSw
