Pauline Quirke is incredibly underated imo - supreme with comic timing but also proper range and depth. Many might be aware of her great turn in Broadchurch, but if you've never seen The Sculptress (a four part 1996 BBC mini-series) you've not seen her magnum opus.

@MatthewTorbitt @BNHWalker @TLRailUK You committed criminal fare evasion as soon as you crossed the gate line without tapping or owning a valid ticket. If people could just buy tickets on the train as soon as they see a ticket inspector coming the system would collapse as most trains don’t have them

Last time we won at home in the Premier League was a week before the Nintendo GameCube came out #itfc

Also the bit where the rubber duck popped up as they escaped the zoo… 😂 Overall, geeky movie references aside, 11/10, no notes, best thing on tele this Christmas 🎄 #WallaceAndGromit

Absolutely loving the parallels between the new Wallace and Gromit and Tim Burton’s Batman Returns

It’s been a wild journey from League One to Premier League in two years, but the fact we get to have a Sir Bobby Robson Derby again is another pinch me moment, given at times it felt we’d never get back to the top table #itfc
Can’t believe today is ten years since my childhood hero, the great Sir Bobby, passed away. He would only have been 86 this year.

@willshome Okay so why does this generation not qualify until 68 or higher but people are outraged they didn’t qualify at 60? Where’s the ‘trust’ in that? Many young people feel the ladder has been pulled up. Weak argument…

@CleanzineEditor No, it has always been a benefit, not a right. Your 'contribution' was just a form of tax, and it was spent the same year. There is not pot of pension money from contributions at a state level. It's a benefit and always was, both functionally and at a comms level.

Those impacted are of course, able to argue they have been harshly treated or unfairly impacted, but some of the language being used is gross hyperbole that misunderstands how state pensions work. And at the core of it, the 'injustice' is an equalising of the state pension age..
