Signed copies of my new collection, "Hi-Viz" (from @YafflePress) are available via my website - link below. Dive in!

@BristolBears Made up for the knock-on and forward pass for the Benetton "try" before half time and the poor linesman on the Lansdown side of the ground!

@SaleSharksRugby Fair play, that was a terrific performance by Sharks. As a Bears fan I never look forward to this fixture, but I wasn't expecting that. If you keep playing like that you really deserve to make the playoffs. Off to drown my sorrows!

@BristolBears @XledgerUK The annual Christmas present for us Bears fans...10 wins away and currently saving their worst performances for home matches, this time in front of a huge crowd.

@leinsterrugby Class of the Leinster squad really told in the end - a pleasure to watch (even as a Bears fan). Also, that's the biggest away following I've seen at Ashton Gate - fair play to the Leinster fans who made the trip in what must have been awful conditions!

@IMcMillan I was lucky to live and study in Exmouth for a few years in the late 90s and still return regularly. My commute into Exeter on the Avocet line always seemed to sugar the pill of early mornings when student days were over! Lympstone is a very pretty little village on that line.

@matriches But having to listen to Lee Dixon.

Never expected to see this in my lifetime. Massive congratulations to @Sadik4Pharmacy - my new Labour MP!

The link would help!

@DamonHenry4 @BristolBears @XledgerUK @BlueBullsRugby And that's not even their first choice XV!

@StevenLuatua @BristolBears Congrats to the squad and coaches! Hell of a result after last week's disappointment.

@WHOldun1 Have a good ‘un! Thanks for all your graft on @BearsBeyondGate. Let’s hope Bears kick on for the rest of the season and we can hold our heads up come May (or June)!

I would urge anyone else who is as gutted as we were to learn that the £200 @nectar prize we were told we’d won was sent in error to complain to the @ASA_UK. An email saying “whoops, look out for another survey and you might win the money that time” doesn’t cut it.

Delighted that three poems (of which I am especially fond) have seen the light of day on the splendid Flights. Thanks to guest editor @gaynorkane and @DragonfliesSW

RT @black_nore: After an intense period of reading and responding to submissions the inbox is once again empty, so if you'd like to see you…

@Carrie_Etter I am obviously massively biased, but…

@kate1978 @BearsBeyondGate You’re not missing much at the moment! What I don’t get is that we have a decent squad on paper but there’s something missing to translate all of that quality into a full 80 minute team performance every week. Who knows what they practise at the HPC all week!
