#TodayILearned which football team Margaret Thatcher supported.

I always much preferred John Major…

Who is writing to whom? “I watched it on Match of the Day but without knowing the result. At first, it was agony seeing the near misses – almost as bad for me watching as for you playing! But at least I only had the tension for half an hour before getting the result I was longing for…” Give in? It’s from Margaret Thatcher’s handwritten letter congratulating Liverpool captain Emlyn Hughes on a victory over Manchester United in February 1978. Hard to know what’s more incredible – that the Tory leader was an avid football fan or that she should have displayed a fondness for anything Liverpudlian at all.

The BBC needs to get a man-with-a-mike, or a woman-with-a-mike, out on the streets and ask the question - “Vox pops - are they a good idea? Or not?”

Lord Maurice Glasman on @IainDale’s podcast, discussing the Sabbath:

“We weren’t allowed to watch telly, touch money, turn on lights, so essentially you sit in darkness and discover the beauty of boredom, really”

RT @Uhperry: @salisbury_matt We could do with Crass today!… hadn’t seen the T, will show Mr. Vague, cheers!

If the @RoyalMintUK did this then ‘S’ would clearly be either @SalisburyCath or @EH_Stonehenge… but I’m wondering what would be the British equivalents of Xantippe, of Yowie and of Zooper-Dooper?

There’s a chap who can tell WHO faked a Beatles signature - secretaries & managers etc would sign for them

Given the band (especially George, I think) could do each other’s autographs, I’m not sure whether I’d sooner have a genuine Paul or a George Paul

There’s a T-shirt of the poster for the show here

I’m not entirely sure whether it’s an Official Vague Promotions product

Some stand-up had a funny routine about when you accidentally bite the inside of your mouth and it swells up a bit, and then because it’s swollen you end up biting it again, and it swells some more, etc…

It was a lot more funny in the stand-up routine than it is in my mouth
