My German hotel breakfast this morning was very much a wurst kase scenario

@Wilco I have reservations about so many things, but not about lyric pencils

Tell me you're a Wilco fan without telling me you're a Wilco fan. New lyric pencils: wilcostore.com/collections/ne…

First night at the pub in ages and my friends have chosen to come here 🙄

@JMLowman Beats doing this job though, daredevil tree surgeon in Sussex

Scenes here as roofers on the house directly behind us look upon the efforts of roofers doing work on our house. All body language infers they’re not impressed / can’t fathom choice of materials etc. No evidence that roofers have a union in the same way as, say, goalkeepers

Delighted to welcome a GUEST BLOGGER this week... David Rees, convenience industry commentator and ex-editor of @CStoreTweets, argues that it's time for convenience stores to take home delivery to the next level. Read here: bit.ly/2JJRw0l Shout out to @TWC & @Cirkle.

@JMLowman @jamesbielby There was a later series where Moeen was Cook’s opening partner: not sure if they combined for a wicket though.

@jamesbielby @DavidCStore It’s a joyous new seam of cricket analysis that’s being mined here. I feel like Edmund Hillary, thank you both for your Sherpa work. This is, as a great man may have said, “a play within a play”.

When was the last time England’s two opening batsmen combined to take a wicket in the following innings in the field? @ajarrodkimber @zaltzcricket

@JMLowman @jamesbielby @ajarrodkimber @ZaltzCricket Ashes test, Lord’s 2013: Clarke c Cook b Root. Root was opening back then. I actually witnessed that one.

@jamesbielby @ajarrodkimber @ZaltzCricket Wonderful, thank you.

@jamesbielby @JMLowman It is indeed. Excellent work.

Amazing what you find when you have a proper clear out at home. A big box of vinyl records from my youth that I thought I had lost forever!

@JMLowman @jamesbielby Was that by the Eastleigh Boys?

@DavidCStore @jamesbielby Great limited edition Hampshire version of that: Monkey Gone to Havant.

@JMLowman @jamesbielby Close, but actually that is a 12-inch single version of Monkey Gone To Heaven. Similar artwork though. Half a point.

@DavidCStore @jamesbielby Pixies Doolittle

@TansorPR I’m sure I have one here somewhere...

@AFraserAllen Thanks Fraser, terrific stuff. I also have fond memories of Tony and Pat, and Jac is still contributing to CStore to this day.

Today is my last day working for Convenience Store at WRBM. I would just like to say thank you to all my colleagues for their support, and also to all of my retailer friends and other contacts for their time spent with me on the phone, and at various bars over the years.

@raaj_c Thank you. But, just to be clear, I am still available as a drinking buddy.

@DavidCStore Can't believe I have to find a new drinking buddy. Best of luck David, thank you for the support on behalf of all retailers in the UK
