I don't really post anymore, but I would like to carry on writing books at some point in the future.
Hate to be annoying, but any chance you could retweet so old twitter followers can find me if they want to? Going to delete my twitter, or at least abandon it on lock and let it die a slow death.

Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.
Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph
Because this does NOT add up!
No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…

@bbv10s.bsky.social see the latest episode is top 10 heartbreaking moments. Haven't listened yet, but off the top of my head there are 4(!) Credible entries for Damon Hill. He really did have some share of hard times both on and off track. Fascinating story of his journey into F1.

As much as this headline story is a real tragedy, when I initially clicked on the BBC website, the headline story was the terrible attack in Gaza.
What the hell is going on there, the genocide in Gaza is being pushed down in the news feed.

Sorry..."continues to maintain"? You mean the view he held the OPPOSITE of JUST ONE WEEK AGO, and which you folks at the Post have now MEMORY-HOLED in an effort to (1) make him seem consistent and determined, and (2) hide the fact that he did a 180 on a ceasefire only after meeting Putin in private?
