I was obsessed with Tubular Bells when it came out. I still love it dearly...what a piece of music. Certainly kicked off my love of odd time sigs. #BBCProms

Wow Finzi's For St. Cecelia was wonderful!! But I am a sucker for anything choral...so rousing and positive. Thomas Atkins was in great voice. What a cracking opening, great programme of music...and Wonderwall! Blimey. :) #BBCProms #FNOTP #FirstNightOftheProms

Hear hear to that. We MUST be back in the EU asap. Not a bit at a time, all in as we were. Then we can start to make some progress. We are already £5 trillion behind countries like Germany, who have invested, while successive UK govts. have run everything down and down and impoverished millions.

Ahead of England v Norway in the World Cup, enjoy this classic from my old pal Patrick Kidd in The Times

Does anyone know if Andy Burnham likes cats?

Gave up on sweet peas. Last few yrs, been too hot and dry, so didn't bother this time. Maybe I'll try some in a container next time where i can keep then wet and well fed? #gardenersworld

Exactly this. He is a nothing and a nobody who is funded by Putin to do more of his dirty work. Of course he turned down a security detail as they would know exactly where he was, and who he was meeting...at all times...

Super start. Made me feel a bit more positive today, as I'm worrying about how badly we've destroyed so much of this amazing unique planet, sitting here in this rotten heatwave with no sign of rain or a let-up... #evolution #BBC2 #climatecrisis

Oh god Chris is in zebra poo with no gloves on O_O #evolution #BBC2
