Congratulations Morton Colliery CC - for beating league leaders Belper Meadows CC twice in consecutive days over the weekend and reaching their second successive Marstons Cup Final. Wow!

As the value of the Russian rouble continues to plummet, No 10 warns that until it recovers all peerages must be paid for in pound sterling.

By beating South Wingfield CC at Queens Park this afternoon (Bank Hoilday Monday) Morton Colliery CC secured their second successive Marston Cup victory. A marvellous achievement. Congratulations.

Grant Shapps, who used a fake name in order to pose as a "millionaire web marketer" running a get-rich-quick scheme, and then lied about it for three years, is now in charge of the UK's global security and defence policy.

Letter of the week (from the Guardian)

Idea for Labour election poster. No slogan needed.

If ever a statement was going to quickly unravel it was that made by James Cleverly🇬🇧 today. Act in haste. Repent at leisure.

It's amazing how quickly Charles Windsor and Kate Middleton got to the top of the NHS waiting list

Priceless.

Yes. Some top top contributors!

Highly recommended.

Just walked from Sheldon to Monyash. Looked across the fields to Flagg. Then realised it was Easter Tuesday and what a very big day that used to be in Flagg for the point to point race meeting. Sadly no longer.

I am flattered to have an article in the landmark issue 50 of 'The Nightwatchman' . I would particularly highlight Andrew Cracknell's wonderfully crafted and beautifully written article. It's worth the purchase price by itself.

I am more than pleased to have a piece in the latest issue (number 51) of The Nightwatchman. I have to say that I am in very good company with some exceptional writing in this particular issue. Highly recommended.
