Modric is at the forefront of our minds today so it's only right to re-up the best tweet that ever happened.

RIP Brian Johnson A gifted special effects artist who worked on so many classic tv series & movies that fired up my imagination: Thunderbirds, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Alien, Space: 1999, The Empire Strikes Back, The Never Ending Story & Aliens to name but a few.

Hydration break.

The films really went downhill after The Love Bug.

This is how politicians of the Labour right used to deal with the fash, btw

When the father of a murdered son makes a public statement saying "we do not want his death to be used to create further division, hatred or tension", then I believe it's incumbent on any news outlet reporting on Farage's comments to ensure people know he has chosen to disregard the family's wishes.

Another season ends, well done lads on a first season back. I was giddy with hope at one stage that we might get in the playoffs again but to be honest I can’t grumble. So for the final time this season: Latics.

Good luck in the playoffs, @andygilder.bsky.social!

My husband @mjowen174.bsky.social is very down and it’s difficult to see. He had a thriving writing business until AI came along but now he’s struggling to find work. Please repost this far and wide in the hope that he can find some writing work. www.mathew-owen.co.uk

A year ago I wrote what I didn’t realise was my last TV column for The Lady magazine. It went bust after I’d contributed to just two issues (yes it’s all my fault). I’m very good at what I do (TV, print, radio, speeches, comedy) so if anyone knows of any work www.mathew-owen.co.uk Please share 👍👍

I’ve been a bit quiet lately. Just a reminder that I'm still here, still designing and my shop is still very much open. Cards, prints, homewares & T-shirts. All made in the UK, all designed by me. gailmyerscough.co.uk
