@TwopTwips COMMUTERS: Save money on expensive rail tickets by simply moving to central London.

@TwopTwips make your friends drive you everywhere by calling shotgun in you own car

@Joey7Barton Disagree with a lot of your opinions, but this post is appreciated - my father played pro football (Hartlepool) and elite rugby in 60s and 70s. He now has Parkinson’s which - although may be unrelated to sport - your post brings concussion/CTE to wider attention. Thank you.

Current and former players (my generation) were well compensated for our performances. I’m talking about by gone generations who are now suffered dementia type brain injuries due to the heading of the ball over their careers. They didn’t get the money we did and their families are having to sell all their possessions to pay for medical care. I think the @pfa and @fa have a responsibility to help those families. They have more than enough money and should take care of those severely injured playing the beautiful game. CTE is running rampant with ex-professionals. It’s about time we looked after our own.

@HMRCcustomers I’ve submitted my 22/23 Self Assess in Dec 23 & requested that the approx £800 tax owed is included in my 24/25 PAYE code. I meet the 3 reqs for including the tax in PAYE, but SA a/c shows I owe the full £800 by 31/01/24. How do I confirm it will be taken by PAYE?

@TLTM32 @Fred_Delicious This is beyond elite cartooning - the very, VERY best I’ve ever seen. Cow tools.

@Fred_Delicious Still remains my favourite

Last Christmas someone got me a Far Side calendar. Here are some of my favourite pages [thread]

@GaryLineker #matchoftheday - great to see the Parkinson’s Football feature. My dad (78) has Parkinson’s - he played some games for Hartlepool United under Bryan Clough and will love to see the efforts to support people like him from the sport he loved. Thank you!

@sid_lambert I maintain the “arms in the air” move did two things: 1) Gave him half an extra yard of pace 2) Took his weight off his feet for a second so he could decide which way to go when he hit the ground again Love watching him so much. Everything player.

It’s 33 years since Paul Gascoigne did this at Maine Road. Lots to see here: - City in away kit (broadcaster request) - Gazza’s feints as he waltzes through the defence - A generational talent at the peak of his powers Unbelievable ability.

@FootyScran Cheese Curds in Wisconsin. Eat them cheese curds, baby.

We’re going to visit America… Who has the best Scran?! 🤔

@KrystiPryde I am 47. I was a teenager when the internet became mainstream. My 18-year-old self circa 1994 would feel very reassured knowing this kind of thread would exist in the future. This is very pure and utterly wonderful. Bravo from me and my 18-year-old self

I've compiled a joyful thread of my favorite photos of celebrities at gaming events, feel free to contribute your own. We HAVE GOT TO start off with this banger:

@FootballInT80s Clough. What a man. My father played a few games for Hartlepool United when Clough was manager. My father said that Clough could figure people out instantly and knew precisely what each player needed - some needed kindness, some needed toughness, some needed guidance etc. Genius

@historyinmemes He’s nailed the basics of being an eligible man: 1) Superb hair 2) Excellent smile 3) Snappy dresser 4) Willingness and ability to cross continents on a bike to take a chance on love I think we can all agree, it’s his flawless hair than won it for him.

In 1977, an Indian man embarked on an extraordinary journey, cycling from India to Sweden to reunite with a woman he met during her vacation in India. This incredible voyage took him through 8 different countries and spanned a total of 4 months. Remarkably, 44 years later, the couple is happily married in Sweden. The man behind this remarkable journey is Pradyumna Kumar Mahanandia, often known as Dr. P. K. Mahanandia. He is an Indian-born Swedish artist celebrated for his epic bicycle ride from New Delhi to Gothenburg in 1977, all in the name of love to meet the woman of his dreams, Charlotte Von Schedvin. Mahanandia has since become a well-known figure in Sweden, not only for his artistic talents but also for his role as an advisor in art and culture for the Swedish government. His artwork has been exhibited in major cities worldwide, and his pieces have even earned a place on prestigious UNICEF greeting cards. On the 4th of January 2012, he received an honorary doctorate degree (Degree of Honoris Causa) from Utkal University of Culture (UUC) in Bhubaneshwar, Odisha, recognizing his outstanding achievements. In addition, he was appointed as the Odia Cultural ambassador to Sweden by the Government of Odisha.

@PubTimesNotts Fabulous news indeed - spent many great nights in there while a student ‘94-‘97

@MissAHaddow “Takes you to a dog fight” - even though I read this 10 minutes ago, this is still making me have to stifle laughter in a meeting.

9. Big Sam Allardyce Takes you to a dog fight & you win big. Straight to Angus Steak House for a well done ribeye with all the trimmings. 18 pints & back to his. Shags you into another dimension. Cashes out the next day & you realise he put a bet on you’d go home with him at 3/1

Football Managers and the date they’d take you on: 1. Alex Ferguson Pie and beans down the nearest pub. Half a shandy at the bar afterwards. Brief sex in the dark and straight on Teletext to look for holidays the second it was over

@adalluch I have a needle phobia and related VS too. The only method I’ve successfully used is prescription Valium (diazepam) from my doctor - the medicine is taken just before the procedure involving needles. I also agree with other users who recommend talking therapies. Good luck.

@fesshole Great stuff. “Best regards, Barry Kent” written with one’s non-dominant hand is the textbook method.

Whenever leaving/birthday cards are passed around at work, I always add a message from a completely made-up employee. I like to imagine the recipient ends up incredibly confused.

@GoranGligovic It is only reasonable that we investigate ways to look at this picture with more than the standard issue of two eyes

@mollymcghee I have two children under 8. They view stairs as an unholy hybrid of a cupboard and commercial distribution centre, the contents of which become instantly invisible (spoiler - I taught them this exact behaviour and I am ashamed)

@Paul_8009 @FootyScran Came here to say that! Pint of white wine please

Biggest Christmas dinner? Looks like you’re eating off a tray! 😲

@NobbyClarke82 Yup - thought is was speakers playing up. But no - the live audio is messed up. Might go old-school, mute the audio and stick radio Newcastle on for the commentary!

Anyone’s Amazon sport sound for Leicester Newcastle all reverby/tinny?
