Really not enjoying twitter anymore to be honest, so will most likely delete my account tomorrow, and stick to Instagram, which seems to me, to be a far happier place to be. It was fun.

Thoroughly enjoyed my first evening with .@SJAWorcesterASU, having recently become a volunteer with this fantastic organisation. My thanks to everyone for the warm welcome.

Cllr. Simon Cronin once knocked on me, unknowing who I was, & I liked him immediately. We always happily disagreed on ‘that issue’. A true eccentric, we’d always have a pint after Worcs. Regulatory Board meetings & laugh together. He was honest, discreet & trustworthy #RIP

On #VEDay 78, I think of my Aunt Lena taking my 9 y.o. mother to celebrate outside Buckingham Palace. A lady chatted to them about the ‘the war being over’, but mum snapped at her saying that her’s wasn’t, as 2 brothers were fighting in the Pacific. Thankfully they both came home

Drying off my very wet Union Flag, the day after the #Coronation

A most magnificent start to the day. I genuinely can’t remember the last time that someone blocked me on here. That’s the trouble with some people - Always ready to give it, but never able to take it.

‘Zadok the Priest’ really is the most amazing piece of music. It always makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck. I am so looking forward to tomorrow. #GodSaveTheKing

Lance Corporal Abubakare Kiru, of the Lagos Hausa Force, later Lagos Bttn. West African Frontier Force, was a member of the 1902 coronation contingent. He fought in various Nigerian campaigns & the 1900 Ashanti War. His Ashanti medal was personally presented to him by Edward VII

Don’t forget to vote today. If you can’t be bothered to vote, then I can’t be bothered to listen to you moaning about them! #LocalElection2023

I met this gent last week. As I often say, our bland world needs more eccentrics. Good luck to him. How my old African grey parrot ‘Charlie Farley’, would’ve loved to have perched on that. #moustache

Take it from me - There’s no better way to celebrate the long life of the great #HarryBelafonte, than by dancing like no one is watching, to the magnificent ‘Jump in the Line’. In the words of the great maestro himself: ‘Hoist those skirts a little higher’! May he rest in peace.

Good luck to .@WestHam youth in tonight’s FA Youth Cup Final. My dad’s old friend, the late John Charles, was captain when we won in 1962-63. A true pioneer of the game, sadly now often ignored, but never forgotten. His son .@18days keeps his memory alive.

On #AnzacDay2023, remembering the brave sacrifices and service of our Australian and New Zealander cousins.

I got my #emergencyalert a minute early at 2.59pm. Are they trying to tell me something?

A quiet cup of tea listening to .@WorcCathedral bells and the beautiful birdsong. A lovely start to the morning - Happy #StGeorgesDay.

I’m privileged to have had done amazing things & met many interesting people over the course of my life. Yet, 11 years ago, I accomplished my greatest achievement thus far: Finishing the 2012 #LondonMarathon. My very best wishes to everyone competing today - You’ve got this!

It wasn’t .@CrayValleyPM’s day after conceding a 94th min equaliser to end our season 1 point shy of the playoffs before a record home crowd of 787. For me, it’s about real football, real people, real hopes, highs & lows, & no primadonnas. Roll on next season. #grassrootsfootball

Sending my very best wishes to all at .@CrayValleyPM for today’s push for a place in the play-offs. It’s free entry on the gate, so if you’re in the area and fancy some #grassrootsfootball, there’ll be a warm welcome awaiting you at the Artic Stadium.
