Slight hitch with the pre-order but delighted the new Duffy tale from @adrianmckinty is now safely imported and off to a cracking start - early mentions for No Alibis bookshop, Brian Clough and Simply Red, yet no UK publisher. They don't know what they're missing. https://t.co/BswRfqdNgm

Switched to @ITV for the Carabao Cup final to avoid Drury and Neville on commentary and it's the same coverage! Wish there was an @primevideosport-style option of stadium effects only but it @bbcradio or mute.

It's 'Hang On Tony' for 'Hang On St Christopher' - frustrated that the wait goes on for the new Duffy novel from @adrianmckinty. Due today on pre-order but Amazon now say 'not yet shipped'. The UK writer's tales of a UK detective really need and deserve a UK publisher.

A shame @TNLUK operators Allwyn haven't looked at making the EuroMillions rules fairer by offering a prize for getting two star numbers. Surely two out of two trumps two out of five.

When I read about @unitedutilities increasing prices by 32 per cent over the next five years, I never imagined that would start with a 27.5 per cent rise in the first year 😳.

Now that's what I call timing - visiting from St Annes and had a really enjoyable evening as home-grown comedy legend @jennyeclair was interviewed by @LeicsComedyFest founder @geoff_rowe at @CurveLeicester. Still have fond memories of TV's Packet of Three.

Can @AmandaHolden's New Year resolution on @thisisheart be to remember the breakfast show only runs till 10 and not "all morning"?

Why is @sammatterface on @ITVSport quoting an FA Cup stat from only the last 32 years when the competition history goes back over 150? Just perpetuates the horrible myth that football before the Premier League era doesn't count.

What is "delivery" coming to? Now even @RoyalMail are dumping parcels on our doorstep. Tracker said to expect it Jan 13-16 and there it was in the rain when we returned home today 🙄

I really don't know why our local @Tesco Extra bothers with one way arrows on its car park. Just walking from store to car today, I saw them ignored three times. Might as well make them all two way, but nothing will be done until there is a serious incident.

My Nectar activity for 2024 tells me I was the No 1 buyer of a certain pasta sauce at my nearest branch of @sainsburys - but now it has disappeared from the shelves. So much for customer demand 🙄 https://t.co/Nd0wbAgemA

Sad to see some @Tesco Express stores in Leicester keeping customers waiting outside while they decide whether or not to open the doors. Presumably a security measure - but in broad daylight? It's a convenience store, not a jeweller's.

Wonderful content but PLEASE can @theipaper put staples in its weekend edition.

If @ITVX are going to show ads which are just a flashing green screen (something about a test drive!), it really needs a flashing images warning, which I thought was standard.

RIP Jimmy Carter - US president when I left school and started this career of mine. Good times.

Only taken two weeks since relaunch for @theipaper to up the cover price - with the extra cash, I hope they bring the staples back.

I know I should have been more observant with the best before dates when buying this as part of a big shop at @sainsburys this afternoon, but four days out of date - really? https://t.co/ak5E8scAac
