I don’t know what to say.
It is important. It is powerful. It is tragic. It is redemption. It is a reminder, everyone is going through things we can’t see. And hats off to Gary Neville. Good, compassionate questions and even better responses.

I’ve made a wallchart for the Women’s World Cup 2023
Please do share this tweet – hopefully it will raise some more money for the Luton & Dunstable Hospital Neonatal Unit.
All the details are here: quinkyart.com/p/womens-world…

I don't even know if any of my tweets are read, but I need to document this somewhere so I can look back on it one day.
This is a quick story about football, my dad, and what the game on Tuesday meant to me.

What's a tweet that's so canonical in your mind you make shorthand reference to it, even if people might not know what you're talking about? (I sometimes just say "uh oh y'all it's gettin' kinda hazy" expecting people to get it)

Celebrating a coronation with a "limited number of scones" in First Class only is so on brand. You could not make it up.
3 May 2023
To help celebrate the Coronation of King Charles III this weekend, we'll be giving out a limited number of scones onboard our services to London to First Class passengers tomorrow and Friday 🇬🇧
The question is - do you put jam or cream on first?

In Scottish League Two, East Fife are 4th and Forfar are 5th.
They play each other next week.
If it finishes Forfar 5 East Fife 4 then Forfar will go 4th and East Fife will be 5th.
But if it’s Forfar 4 East Fife 5 then East Fife will remain 4th and Forfar will remain 5th.
