It's a shame many modern cars are not fitted with indicators. I always thought they were a useful 'indication' of what another driver was intending to do, or indeed not do🤔

Tom Hiddleston has come on for England at @socceraid 2026 at the London Stadium - we'll marvel at his low-key midfield role and then he will take over in the technical area once it's dark, as he is of course the night manager. Thank you, thank you, I'm here all week

You can't park there, mate! When double yellow lines won't do the job, send for a bollard! What say you @WorldBollard ?

The excellent White Hart Inn on Mersea Island in darkest #Essex has some fancy tea in the rooms. But be careful not to split the bag, or you'll find the quality tea of Mersea is not strained. Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week

Hello @RoyalMail - thank you for delivering a package sent from near Glasgow to Essex in just 78 days. 2nd Class is 3 working days delivery, so it took 52 days allowing for Xmas, NY and weekends - actually 17th Class! Still, better late than never 😲

Last week we were at 6th-century St Catherine's Monastery, 5,200ft up in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula. Church, mosque, burning bush, relics, Moses' Ten Commandments mountain, cute cats. Mesmerising, peaceful place and friendly welcome from Greek Orthodox monks #travel #history #calm

Missed this yday with all the extraordinary misconduct in a public orifice (allegedly) news. Intruiging! Could be the story of the century (yes, even bigger than the Norfolk Nonce). The truth is out there. Possibly 👽 #FermiParadox #Area51 #roswell #rendelsham #xfiles #AlienLife

Proof, as if it was needed, that out here in darkest #Essex it is a green and pheasant land #birds

Another genius cover from the @PrivateEyeNews soothsayers. Read it when I got home from work last night, thought a) very funny b) stranger things happen and.... well, you know the (ar)rest!

Heading to Tunisia this year? Highly recommend a trip to Roman amphitheatre El Jem and the mosques in Kairouan. Joined a tour from Sousse last autumn and rated it a top day out and good value. Thanks to @lisaminot for giving it a nice shout out in The Sun #newspaper today!

What a moment: seeing Craig Revel Horwood produce the 10 paddle in Strictly! So it's the live tour at O2 in London, not the more competitive TV show, and Lewis & Katya were indeed a-maz-ing dancers. But a 10 from Judge Dread! All the judges very funny, an excellent night 🪩💃🕺

For foxtrot sake! Two pints of pale ale at the O2 to see Strictly tour - 10p cha cha change from twenty bloody quid! 😭 Still, the arena does look fab-u-lous! 💃🕺👯🪩
