@LVcares Disappointed this morning. Got a renewal quote which had gone up quite a bit, phoned up and got a discount offered straightaway. Previously dont feel you ever played this game so simply renewed. Now feels like you're just a bit more like all the other insurance firms
@LVcares Told your colleague (and I know it wasn't him personally) that this little thing has made you go from 9/9.5 out of 10 (who I had recommended to friends) down to a 6/10.
Grumble over (although will probably have to do price comparison malarkey next year)
Just been looking at renewal for @TheEconomist
Seeing subscriptions cheaper for new readers is a bit annoying when I've been a subscriber for donkeys years.
Yes I could put it in a different name and get a 'new' subscription, but thats not the point.
Might be time to cancel!
Sunday afternoon, it's skanky outside but I'm inside and about to watch @YorkFutsal - happy days!!
Looking forward to hearing @finnysteve on @TailendersPod
Will be interesting to see how grumpy (or not) he is on a cricket podcast that isn't @zeroduckspod
If he isn't this will be yet more proof that it's @tobytarrant that brings out the worst in him!! 🤣🤣
We've started watching Death in Paradise from the beginning with the kids (They're fans of Beyond Paradise).
Familiar face just turned up in S2 Ep6....
@RalfLittle
Sat in Trieste and just seen the news about @finnysteve - sad we won't get to see him on the pitch any more but really glad he's part of @bbctms
Thanks for all the memories Finny
@tobytarrant - I know you like pulling his leg, but 1 ZDG pod giving him his due would be good!!
Sitting at Old Trafford wondering if this might end up being THE floodlight....

Taking the chance to see 'Our Jimmy' from his own end

He may have been at Glasto yesterday, but I swear
@FooDGrohl is currently running the sound system for the bands at Appleton Roebuck scarecrow festival (and doing a great job!!)
Just listened to the @bbctms podcast with @davidwarner31 & really annoyed now that he seems like a nice bloke. Was always much easier when I disliked him!!
Still hope he doesn't get runs this summer, but would go for a pint with him (I'm sure my view matter loads to him- not)!!
Just listening to Scotlands Ships by @bbcmbuchanan on @BBCSounds (I know its been out a few months now) but the soundtrack to it is beautiful and evokes wonderful memories of the Scottish islands.
Just caught up with the 2 latest eps of @zeroduckspod and had the weird experience of the voice of @gregjames appearing in the middle of it doing an ad for that C4 show.
Given the love of @Stevo208 can we expect @itsmattchin to be the new SW cricket correspondent?
Main interest in the men's draft is to see if @finnysteve gets picked up. I'm sure that's the only thing that @norcrosscricket and @tobytarrant are really interested in as well!
Got the @thehundred draft in in the background and the thing I'm most wanting to find out is whether @katecross16 and @AlexHartley93 end up together at the same team!
Are any other @TailendersPod listeners following @TrentBridge just to find out what they got @itsmattchin up there for? Can't wait!!

Just listened to the Midnight meets podcast with @jameshaskell - interesting chat but also dropping some absolutely banging tunes!! Lead to a mini kitchen disco with the kids when I got Alexa to play the full version.

This is totally inaccurate, there is no ‘6th episode’. Wild Isles is – and always was - a 5 part series. We acquired a separate film for iPlayer from the RSPB, WWF and Silverback Films about people working to preserve and restore the biodiversity of the British Isles. @guardian
ALT A headline from the Guardian online reads: BBC will not broadcast Attenborough episode over fear of rightwing backlash
Might have to stop following @VertebratePub on Twitter. Already got some of their books, then started following them this week and have already ordered 2 more. Will run out of bookshelf space at this rate!! 🤣
At the end of the ABC test coverage this morning on BBC 5 Sports Extra, the aussie commentator referred to a member of the broadcast team as the best cricket statistician in the world.
Think @ZaltzCricket amd the @bbctms might have something to say about that claim.....
