Over the past few months, it seems twitter has 'lost' a lot of people.
If you enjoy what I post, please pass the word.
Thank you very much.

Geoff Capes was a very specific 80s icon. Everpresent on children’s tv, always using Roy Castle as a dumbbell or something. Professional strongman, Olympian. A very British superstar, in an age of Ready Brek and Luncheon Vouchers. Hammer down the doors of Valhalla, Geoff.

Still on today but some of the miniatures buzzing around the site @Staplefordtrain yesterday - the event is ace but 4G coverage is not the best! Have some standby cash as some stall's machines occasionally struggled - MrsA had to do without a fancy Hot Chocolate for a bit 😱

My late friend Thora Hird told me how she'd be stopped in shops mistaken for Beryl Reid & asked for her autograph. I asked what did you do. Well Thora said, I signed as Beryl. I wouldn't want to upset a fan & I'd like to think she'd do the same for me! And I bet she would've too.

Tonight, as we sleep soundly in our beds, we remember the bravery, determination, and sacrifice of the men of 617 Sqn who, 81 years ago tonight, undertook the daring #Dambusters mission. Many of them paid the ultimate price for the mission's success. They will not be forgotten.

The 18’ RivTow “Super Winder” belongs to a class of tiny tugboats used in logging operations. Their prominent quality is that they're literally almost uncapsizable

It's the commitment by @CountBinface to point 20 which marks him out as a serious politician. He just keeps plugging away at that bloody hand dryer. Also v keen on points 1, 7, 12, 14, 17 and 23. Other candidates are invited to nick these policies.
