Took the opportunity for a quick wander around #Canterbury at #nighttime. Both these picture were taken outside the #Marlowe Theatre

Now i can write about evolutionary history of #walrus 😂

Happy Birthday #Sarr. Two goals in an excellent result tonight against Villa #CPFC

GOAL! Ismaila Sarr puts Palace 3-1 up and, you'd think, secures victory with 20 minutes remaining. A good finish on the volley from Daniel Munoz's cross "Sarr will tear you apart again" sing the Palace fans #CPFC

A trip to the #Horniman Museum and Gardens today to check out #Inuit artifacts but also taking the opportunity to look around

Visited #Shugborough Hall near #Stafford. #Swans on the river #Sow was certainly good to get the legs stretching

It’s been 25 years since I was last in #Cardiff. It’s changed a lot hasn’t it

Three minutes to decide it was onside? Ludicrous. I spotted it as onside in two seconds flat, do the assistant refs get a time taken bonus? Sort it out #VAR #CPFC

Just a reminder of how things used to be

Yes. It’s a wet Monday in Doncaster but still have to get out there and perform. Well done to the lads. And exciting news - Millwall up next. Wahey. Proper old school derby 🤣 #CPFC

Goal! Devenny lobs Sharman-Lowe. He looked offside to me but the flag stays down. Doncaster 0-2 Palace #CPFC

31': Goal! Daniel Munoz from close range. Mateta hits the post after receiving a pass from a clever free kick but it falls kindly to Munoz. 1-0 #CPFC

I am glad to see Glasner not do a Slot with his team selection tonight #DONCRY #CPFC

Quick visit to the #BritishMuseum today to have a look at the #LewisChessmen and other Ivories in the collection #walrus

Word of the Day is ‘bayard’ (16th century): one who has the supreme self-confidence of ignorance.

The annual "We'll race you back to London" chant gets an outing from the Palace fans #CPFC

I wonder what on earth could have prompted #Channel4 to advertise the excellent #TheWestWing on their catch up service…? 🤔

27 January 1928 | A German Jewish girl, Marion Ehrlich, was born in Berlin. In November 1942 she was deported to #Auschwitz. She did not survive.

80 years ago today, #Auschwitz was liberated. It started with the demonisation of the Other. It continued with the suppression of dissent and the newspapers fell in line. It ended with the death of more than six million Jews, gays, Roma, dissidents, Christians. #Neverforget #HolocaustMemorialDay

Disappointing result all round, but very encouraging signs from #Esse - first game, first touch, first goal. #CPFC

For Blue Monday we can't think of anything more appropriate than this charming depiction of a man getting his face eaten off by a leopard. #MosaicMonday

Spending the week at university of Kent to learn R statistical analysis. I have mostly learnt that #Nandos definition of serves 2 is very different from mine.

#CPFC after 600 PL matches

Excellent Stuff!! As it stands we are above Tottenham and Man Utd in the table!! #CPFC

I've always loved the fact that the word 'sneeze' is the result of a historical accident. The original form, in the Middle Ages, was 'fnese', but someone mistook the 'f' for the long medieval 's' and wrote down 'sn-' instead. Fneezing sounds much more like a proper, nasal sneeze.

Time for the process by which business of the Commons is conducted to be updated. And for the Bishops to have their automatic right to sit in the Lords booted

Excellent result tonight for #CPFC Upshot is that it is definitely dragged Man Utd into a relegation battle now.
