TELLY GOLD: Some glorious Grandstand action from 35 years ago today.

The April Fools “fight”, including blow-by-blow analysis from that doyen of sports broadcasting Des Lynam.

Sport. It’s all just a bit of fun, you know..

Not played cricket in anger since I last turned out for The Sunday Times over a decade ago. Salvaged my old cricket bag from the attic and dusted off these old friends to get out there again this season, for the local pub side. Can’t wait! Just need few nets first…

The more I think about the Shani Louk prize winning photo - the angrier I get.

This is a rape / abuse / murder victim being paraded around.

And instead of helping her someone took a photo of the proud terrorists and her abused and half naked body.

A prize? He belongs in jail

Newspaper design nerds will appreciate the use of white space on the front-page of today's Wall Street Journal. Everyone else should too.

Thanks! Steve Smith — I think every author would agree that all the effort is worth it when you get some lovely feedback. Really appreciate it.

Big incoming missile barrage headed into Ukraine now, from Black Sea.

If Ukraine just had 5 more Patriot missile batteries, of the roughly 10,000 that exist in 'allied' countries, Russians wouldn't even try anymore because none would get through.

Hello old friends!
Nearly a year since I left & to be honest I'm not sure if leaving here was the right course. The grass hasn't been greener on the other platforms.
So I'm just here simply to gauge if there is still #HistoryBookChat interest out there, albeit on a smaller scale?

Most grateful for any retweets, thank you. 🙏

A walk before the rain!

While I don't believe any collaborators betrayed the Great Escape, there were several British POWs who did help the Germans - with some even going so far as to join a British unit of the Waffen-SS. Do have a read of my piece in The Telegraph! telegraph.co.uk/films/2024/03/…
