No one can accuse Farage on not loving his country. It's just a shame it's the USA.

Just left my car at the garage for service and MOT. Before I arrived home, they phoned with a list of faults. It's going to be a long and expensive day....

Why are fun sized chocolate bars smaller not bigger than regular ones? Surely more chocolate equals more fun.

Observing US politics, and there's yet more evidence of the ability of progressive politicians to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

"Hold it there, Maureen. The taxi's just arrived to take Grandpa to the Happy Valley Care Home"

I pity Musk. What has he of real value in his life?

Watching footage from the trenches in WW1 is a reminder of one of my wife's relations from the time who was excused service due to bad teeth. The mind boggles.

Got to admire "Mike" who left a 5 star rating for my local garage and whose review reads "Left my car with them and walked home"

With respect to those responsible for music in Asda, it's NOT beginning to look a lot like Christmas. It's friggin' 10th of November.

An apology from the BBC to Trump is sufficient. A billion dollars for broadcasting something that was ostensibly true? Come off it.

Should be shouting this from the rooftops.

After being successful in the ballot for Villa tickets, my son reminded me that it's 30 years since his first game at Elland Road, also against Villa. A win by two goals from Gary Speed and David White. Players with terribly sad futures and history. #lufc

If only Fox News or GB News were held to even 100th of the standard that the BBC is expected to operate. Nandy needs to offer full throated support for the organisation. I fear she won't.

"Good to see your mum and dad putting their messy divorce to one side and not spoil your graduation..."

The assistant in the self service checkout at Asda just joked I was borderline for the 25 year old age verification. It works for me.

Who doesn't want to see Xi, Putin, Orban et al toasting marshmallows around a campfire singing Gin Gan Goolie? The Greens are still the party of Keith and Candace Marie.

I want to open the bowling in a Test Match at Lords, but hey.

Even though I'm as woke as any Guardian reading elderly white hippie, I want fly tippers garroted live on peak time TV.

Labour should appoint Jon Snow as the new BBC DG.

Reading about Soviet Era sport and, to my embarrassment, I didn't know Varleriy Borzov and Ludmilla Tourisheva were married in 1977.

The root cause is leaving the summer recruitment to someone who hadn't done it before. It was a disaster. That is on the owners. Now, the only chance of avoiding relegation is to try a new coach. Doing nowt isn't an option. The owners are not going to sack themselves. #lufc

Worst use of subs since the Kursk. #lufc

If football was played without a ball, Aaronson would be the new Lionel Messi. #lufc

This side is really doing my noggin in. #lufc

Nottingham Forest fan Stephen Crean getting a standing ovation from both sets of fans at the City Ground for his heroics on the train. #lufc

When I worked in a Teesside College there were many Muslim students. They sent Christmas cards and were active participants in college Xmas functions. The flag shagging community need to be aware Jesus is a significant figure in Islam and the vast majority of Muslims enjoy Christmas.

Strange. "It Should Have Been Me" by Yvonne Fair just came into my head.

Johnson makes Michael Foot look dapper.

It was great to see the First Battalion of Useless ex Tory Prime Ministers at the Cenotaph.

A few years ago, sheltering in a tiny chapel in the Peak District. On the wall was a plaque for a soldier killed in 1917. Underneath it was a plaque for a soldier with an identical name born in 1917 and killed in 1942. No mention of the woman who lost her husband in WW1 and her son in WW2

Cue everyone of a certain age impersonating Richard Jobson..

Listening to Sounds of the 60s on BBC Sounds. There were only 14 months between the release of Bobby's Girl and Glad All Over. British music was totally transformed in that short period.

Arsenal are getting bullied. Lovely stuff. #SUNARS

Noisy engaged fans, phones in their pockets and spontaneous joy. Brilliant. #SUNARS

The best pundit/live game watcher on Sky Sports Saturday is Sue Smith by a country mile. Articulate, unbiased and mercifully free of banter with the others.

Can tell it's winter as much of my Saturday morning is watching Big Match Revisted on ITV4 and using Google to find out which players have died.

Frank Wilson on #SoundsOfThe60s. Frank shares his name with a building firm in Leeds. Does he love constructing blockwork driveways? Indeed, he does.

Followed by Cilla murdering Alfie.

And I Love Her is one of The Beatles' very best - awesome melody, great singing, the flamenco style acoustic guitar. Perfect. #SoundsOfThe60s

Yazz looks uncannily like a youthful Vera Duckworth. #totp

Robert Palmer - the coolest thing to emerge from Batley. Correction. The ONLY cool thing to emerge from Batley. #totp

This is no Bang Bang. #totp

Phil Lynott died on the same day James Milner was born. #totp #lufc

Lene Lovich was part of the Stiff Tour in 1978. It wasn't great. #totp

"Although we had our differences, no-one can deny the achievements of Nancy, the first woman speaker. I wish Nancy a long and happy retirement..." Easy, isn't it?

The amount of time, effort and resources devoted by news organisations to the asylum seeker accidentally released is absurd.

The last movement of Haydn's 59th Symphony makes one believe in the existence of a higher power.

Live from the inside of Liberace's garden shed....

Characteristically gracious....

We want to send a hamper of local food as a gift to family in Belgium. It is impossible to send one since we left the EU. Farage may bang on about Whitby fishermen but many small food manufacturers in Yorkshire have lost work. Yorkshire Curd Tart and Ginger Parkin are the food of Gods.
