Forty-Five…
A lovely chilled day. Wondered into town and brought a timeless classic..
Ready for a nice family meal and maybe pour myself a single malt.
Tomorrow I act like I’m 21 again and out for beers and a dance.
Life is great. We do recover.
Keep on - day at time ✊🏻

@Kirsten_GCHC @GCH_Charity @RHCGlasgow What a fabulous addition to what you are able to do.
Ronald McDonald House was always so important but this will make a huge difference to families at the toughest of times.
Thank you to everyone involved in making it happen 💜💜

@pitchblacksteed My dad and I will often say, "well, up against the wall is traditional, sir."
Quite often entirely out of context but that's fine

To many of us, #Blackadder is part of every day parlance. Which phrases from the show do you use yourself and when you do you use them? Example: When someone offers me a cup of tea, I say: "Yes, immediately!" You get the idea. Will RT the best ones.

@Timheming I used to organise school cross country races in Derby with @liamdnufc when Hugo Milner was at school. He annihilated every field week after week. It is great to see his ability coming through at international level now

@lesleymac6 Really pleasing that someone from an Olympic sport has a breadth of vision to see the potential impact on non-Olympic sports.
Consideration is also needed for Para sports in the planning.
English
Anyone else agree 🙋♀️

'I just hope they take into consideration non Olympic sports because the Commonwealth for the likes of netball are the only light that get shone on their sport' Dame Laura Kenny won gold at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in 2014 and spoke to #BBCBreakfast after the Scottish city agreed to host a scaled down version in 2026 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@MrsBesenzi Hard to believe a year had gone by already.
It is heartening to see school and community continuing to remember Hussein so positively.
I hope you are all doing well
English
Beautiful day, with a sensitive approach, collaboratively designed to support all throughout today. That’s what makes the JTFS community! A minute’s silence joined by Hussein’s family and friends was equally supportive, with Mum knowing that 1400 chn and staff paused together💛🖤
JT Free School@jtfreeschool
Today marks one year since we lost our fellow student, Hussein. This morning, we held a minute's silence to reflect and honour his memory, and laid flowers at his remembrance tree. All donations will go to Hussein's Wishes #husseinswishes #forever13

@MichaelWeadock @AnythingbutF That could work. It would just need to avoid FIFA World Cups and Commonwealth Games in those alternate years.
Would be interesting to see who came forward to host. Would it be more appealing than the Commonwealth Games for hosts, sponsors, broadcasters?
English
@wpbevans @AnythingbutF Glad you enjoyed the debate. Another bit of feedback we had was to move to a Paralympic Games every two years but stick with the current plan in parallel with the Olympics in 2028 and 2032 and then run another event in 2026 and 2030 in different cities too. I liked that too.

@Kirsten_GCHC @HartsFND @JohnHartson10 @GCH_Charity What amazing support that is! I remember walking up Ben Nevis with him about 10 years ago. It is great that he is still such a big supporter
English
A heartfelt thank you @HartsFND @JohnHartson10 for his long-standing support and commitment @GCH_Charity. A further donation of £25,000 this evening to help enhance the care and experience of patients and families at the children’s hospital in Glasgow.

@KatharineMerry Pidock and Yee for very similar reasons. Late drama in both. The determination, passion and refusal to accept the race was over for either of them

Your favourite overall performance from Paris 2024?
Don’t over think it! What pops into your head 1st?
Go! …

@alexewing_ @editor_drs Thank you for doing such a consistently amazing job with these.
However, please do try to make me slightly less tearful in future.

@LewisWiltshire It was a great host in 2014. Such a lovely and welcoming city. Planning already underway in the hope this is confirmed soon
English
I really hope this is confirmed soon. Glasgow was fabulous in 2014. Such a beautiful and welcoming city. This would be a lovely excuse to get back up there
Duncan Mackay@duncanjourno
Exclusive: Some good news for the Commonwealth Games, I am hearing. Multiple people have told me during the @olympics at @paris2024 that @thecgf have reached an agreement with Scotland for Glasgow to host the 2026 Commonwealth Games. They will replace Victoria, who withdrew last year. An announcement is due shortly after the end of these Olympics - maybe even this week.
English
@bigdaddybunce I've loved your commentary and insight throughout the Games, Steve.
Love for the sport, sure, but the care for people and their stories has been fabulous to listen to. Thanks for the insight

Big day in the Taekwondo in Paris. Then Cindy tonight in the boxing. And finally a story to break the hearts of the thousands sticking the boot in. Thanks.
