Somebody tell Will Smith he’s an actor and NOT Richard Williams, please. I protect my loved ones, too, but I don’t need to punch anyone. This just smacked (literally) of posturing. #Oscars2022.

Overwhelmed, having watched #AfterLife3 @rickygervais @netflix One of the most exquisite dramas I've EVER seen. Poignant and emotional, without being mawkish; uplifting; wonderful music and, yes, @jonimitchell it's all about seeing life from both sides. Genius @rickygervais.

Can’t remember the last time I laughed so much. Privilege to see the utterly brilliant and hilarious @Dawn_French in Cardiff. I am still crying over the chimp story. Love love love this fantastic woman.

@SethAbramson OMG I just accidentally smashed a really nice glass and yelled "I'm SO F*****G ANGRY!" This Tweet has cheered me up so much and made me realize I am not alone.

@Nigel_Farage 1. You're not a journalist or an essential media figure. And 2, 3, 4, 5 . you're not a journalist or an essential media figure. You are a man in a sweater.

Seen all of @rickygervais's #AfterLife2 So beautifully understated and touched me not in a sobbing kind of way, but with a quiet tenderness. It felt as if it was speaking to everyone personally and also collectively - primally. Not enough words here, so will expand elsewhere.

Three episodes in to #AfterLife2 WOW just WOW @rickyGervais ! Poignant, subtle, tender, funny, exquisitely written and acted - and I have to put in a word for the incredible editing. There is not a moment too long or too short. Amazing in every respect.

My best friend died yesterday and I am distraught. Lost my best friend from school 3 years ago; Elizabeth was my best friend from when I started out in London in 1984. We were last in contact three weeks ago. Happy memories, dear friend. Here we are on my 60th in 2018.

Women everywhere should be screaming their support for @suzanne_moore Her defence (FFS - why should her totally sane and logical stance need defending in 2020?) is a brilliant piece of journalism that is seriously historically important. READ IT! LEARN!.

Unbelievable that @BalansLondon in Old Compton St now won’t allow single diners because “if you are drunk, you have to be with someone who can get you home” (doorman). Have been going there for EVER! Appalling discrimination. RT if you are sick of single person discrimination!.

I'm way ahead in the soaps' Christmas eps because of my job, so I won't give anything away, other than to tell you @TonyMaudsley1 and @Sue_Cleaver are just THE BEST. Highlight of the festive eps! LOVE THEM! Great actors. And a great @itvcorrie pairing.

@EmergMedDr No one says it's not all right; it's the content that's the issue. Also, Mike doesn't have a title; Meghan does - and uses it for self-promotion. She also married a prince; Mike didn't marry a princess - Zara doesn't have a title. It's nothing to do with skin colour and sex.

Binge watched all 6 eps of #AfterLife @rickygervais Profound, funny, moving (without ever lurching into sentimentality), packed with beautiful primal truths, great performances and outstanding choice of music - could have been a movie but glad we got 3 hours of GR8 TV.

No show, in 35 years of reviewing tv, has had this effect on me #AfterLife3 @rickygervais I’ve barely begun to analyse why. It’s not just to do with the subject matter; it’s just exquisitely executed. *breathesdeeply.

Good news from @BalansLondon - apologised profusely for my not having been allowed in as a single diner. They say it is NOT policy and it seems they have a door staff problem. I am happy that they have responded and put it right, so do RT this as much as you did my complaint!.

My elderly mum, who is on Facebook, has now started asking about Twitter and why she's not on it. My last refuge is about to be taken away, so forgive me if I now start talking about dogs and fluffy bunny rabbits rather than men's bodily parts.

@Provokatov @jk_rowling Ironic that they have 'Discussing' in their Twitter handle when they have just made a libellous statement minus any discussion whatsoever. Popcorn at the ready for the trial! We're behind you @jk_rowling ! Thank you for standing up for women!.

@JonathanPieNews Pls keep holding the door for me guys; give up your seat for me on transport; help me with cases when struggling! I do everything 4 myself, but appreciate manners and sometimes, it's nice to have someone do something that gives you human contact, even if just to say "thank you".

Hope this doesn’t sound weird @TheRealCamilleG but I’d like to invite you and your husband (and anyone you’d like to bring) for a home cooked dinner in my home. I am so sorry for the loss of your house but happy you are both okay. You can check me out - not a weirdo! XX.
