Lovely evening at Linghams Bookshop, Heswall listening to the insanely talented and super gifted Steph Merritt (aka S J Parris) A brilliant writer of Tudor-set crime novels she is an engaging speaker and a charmingly warm personality. Read her books - they truly are awesome!!

Amanda Abbington. PTSD? Law suit? Hang your head in shame! What an insult you are to front line workers - the soldiers, firemen, police, NHS workers, paramedics, RNLI crew - who see real life horror on a regular basis. And u sit whingeing away … about nothing. FGS - grow up!!

I do so hope they make a telling example of the halfwit woman who doused Nigel Farage. What possesses these loonies? Hopefully, they’ll give this idiot a criminal record, blighting her future career and making her sad shot at fame every bit as pathetic as it was unacceptable.

What IS the point of F1? It is a laffable procession for cheat Verstappen to the title. What a joke! Why not standardise all the cars so everyone drives the same car and only the best driver, backed by the smartest team and best pit strategy wins each race. Makes more sense to me

Here’s the thing. If the woke world is against the importunate use of the word “black” and all of its heavy connotations… why do we have to suffer the endless garbage about “Black Friday” … ?? Why not just call it Special Sales Friday … or are we to have a White Friday too??

Of all the wonderful tributes this weekend to the legendary Bobby Charlton, the very best I heard was on Zoe Ball’s Radio 2 Breakfast Show - simple, heartfelt, with perfect sound bites and the most choice music bed … thnku. A sublime tribute to a truly peerless talent. Do listen

Officers from the Roads And Transport Squad recently dealt with a group of cyclists exceeding the speed limit They were all dealt with by a fine of £80.08 and 3 points on their licences One cyclist was not insured and had their bike seized

My wife presented me with this today and I have to say that for me … it is bang on the money!! 👏👏

Forgive me, but I think the BBC has gaffed again. I’m sure Vernon Kaye is a very nice bloke - but he’s no Gary Davies. I would’ve kept GD on in Ken Bruce’s slot because he’s been doing such a fantastic job - warm, friendly, approachable and well - just brilliant 😊

It wasn’t just your awesome ability as the world’s best hockey keeper, it was your attitude, your radiant smile, your lovely personality and the time you so graciously gave to your fans that made you extra special, Maddie. Thnku for so many very special memories. A winner, always

Have a look at this - it’s jolly clever and really lovely!! Happy Valentine’s y’all 💌 And if u didn’t get a card or a bouquet - well enjoy this!! And if u did - isn’t it wonderful to be loved, cherished and adored by someone special??!!

Oops!!! Missed off a really massive stinker … The Carpenters … “the logs on the fire fill me with desire …” heap BIG vomit!!!! 🤮🤮🤮

HUGE Xmas stinkers … 1. Slade 2. Wizzard 3. Anything at all by Paul McCartney!! 4. Absolutely anything by Cliff Richard!! 5. The Beach Boys 6. Boney M 7. The Pretenders 8. Elton John 9. Little Drummer Boy 10. Mike Oldfield … THAT ARE PLAYED EVERY year - arghhh!!

Dya not think Christmas carols should be banned till Dec 1st and stopped completely at midnight Dec 25? Sadly, today I am grottily ill in bed and tryn to find a radio channel that isn’t stuffing Gaudete, or Away In A Manger at me!! Pls, pls stop. It is over… till next year!!!

Despite a gadgillion books and miles of profound arguments, my grandson has just definitively dissed creationism in a single sentence: “The Bible just isn’t true, Grandpops - there isn’t a single mention of dinosaurs anywhere in it!!” Great thinking … for a little 7.5 yr old!!

You have to snigger at the bizarre costliness of gullible people's stupidity. If you really want to see London in all its fine glory, have a toddle up the Fire of London monument on a decent day - far and away London's most gorgeous view and great exercise too!!

Got a minute? Like a challenge? Then pls go here: https://t.co/ubokcLTYho Made by my son's own hand and created from his vivid imagination it is quite a challenge, so go on - give it a go!!

Got time? Check this book out NOW - One Small Mistake by Dandy Smith. It's on Amazon for peanuts and, as a debut, it is simply awesome!!! Breathtaking in its scope, it is a spellbinding read. Not a word is wasted and you'll love the plot, the characters and the ending! Amazing!!

Just cn the awesomely talented harpist Catrin Finch. It felt almost “normal” - whatever that is now!! She is sooo good - humble excellence in a virtuoso package that is pure delight. If you get a chance to see her - do go. You will be blown away and taken somewhere very special.
