Brilliant listening to the fabulous Peter Gabriel on @BBCRadio4 just now , calmly urging government help for WOMAD and other independent festivals . Sadly the government big shots are probably too young even to know who he is
Andre Agassi more or less telling Andrew Castle to stop gossiping about the rich and famous and concentrate on the tennis . First ace of the match 😉 #Wimbledon

Italian anthem 1 - National anthem 0. ( based on fun, vivacity, pacing )
Thank you for reading. Agreed. Bob
@IoWBobSeely challenging reading, Bob. Thanks for this. I lived in Russia 91-96. Seeds were sown from 1990
BREAKING: Keir Starmer and Angela Rayner caught 𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 the country out of the change they promised
The irony that Asllani, meaning ‘lion’, scored first in England v Sweden
Lionesses. England V Sweden. Such high-powered England performances , as we yearn for half-time
There is nothing like comedy football . Loving it .. after 3 minutes the idiot commentator indicates ‘need to sort this out at half time ‘
On hearing of the passing of my great friend Dave Cousins I sat quietly at Flatford Mill where Constable painted the Haywain & reflected on our times together . A tranquil and perfect setting for me to pay my respects & say farewell to a friend who now has his Glimpse of Heaven
Andre Agassi telling Castle to basically stop talking about people in the royal box is the highlight of Wimbledon so far. @BBCSport #wim
'is there a way to ask our viewers if I am talking too much?' asks Andre Agassi. Andre, as long as you are talking and Andrew Castle is not, you are fine. #Wimbledon @BBCSport
Andre Agassi with a brilliant put down of Andrew Castle Agassi trying to discuss Fritz's tactics for 3rd set..interrupted by Castle blathering on about Nick Clegg being in the crowd Agassi..."nobody cares. .they want to hear about tennis" 😃🎾 #Wimbledon
How nice to hear Andre Agassi and his velvet intelligent voice and zero interest in the A listers in the royal box @Wimbledon @BBCSport
Amanda Anisimova says that when she took her mental health break from tennis, a lot of people told her she would never make it to the top again “Is reaching a Grand Slam final the ultimate vindication that taking a break can work for you?” Amanda: “I think it’s different for…
At what point does the tennis community call out Sabalenka for her behavior? Here she is bullying Anisimova for not saying sorry for a net cord point. Let’s not forget her rudeness to Coco Gauff. #wimbledon #tennis
#wimbledon @BBCSport such a relief that Anisimova beat Sabalenka. Chance of a non-screaming women’s’ singles final ffs
Wish an umpire would have the gumption to call hindrance against Sabalenka. Screaming like a banshee towards Siegemund even when they are just exchanging delicate backhand slices.
The worst part about watching Aryna Sabalenka play tennis is listening to Aryna Sabalenka play tennis
