My wife promised me we'd go to the pub this evening, then changed her mind. I haven't felt this crushed since A View To A Kill failed to get to No.1.

Seriously, Daniel Sturridge exposes Rooney, Walcott and Seedorf for the hot air blasters they are. #ARSPSG

"Have Arsenal been poor or have PSG been really good?" There are no other options in a 1-0 game.

Some more useful fodder for the fun WFH debate: my job was around 80% of my social life in my 20s. Kids today have to make an effort to find their own girlfriends/boyfriends rather than just snogging a colleague in the pub next door at half 11 on a Tuesday and making a go of it.

Some really lovely responses to this. I vowed, when I started this, that it was going to be a bit different because the 80s has, after all, been done a lot. But I hope never before *quite* like this. I hope you all enjoy it. #IntoTheGroove

If you were too cheap to get the book in hardback, all is not lost. No, I don't work in PR.
