If* we did win #EURO2020 then we’re going to get minus points in #eurovision2022

That could have been red

Hoping it’s too close to get over the wall and down #engfer

Germany has a better anthem.

#ENGGER

Reminding myself not to hope Rudiger, Havertz and Werner have a good match.

And you can buy an Advent Calendar of London’s Architectural underground vents too.

Of course you can.

This book looks fascinating….and I’m disappointed to have either not seen, or not noticed the Camberwell Submarine www.theguardian.com/artanddes…

My word of the day is ‘skittish’.

That was hard luck - was a decent penalty

Remembering one of the most stressful few moments of my life…when Kid Two walked up to take the third penalty

The most shocking thing about that photo and video was that there was a government minister in a room with no Union Jack and no portrait of the Queen visible.

@CCHQPress must be livid.

My word of the day today is ‘bungalow’.

Well played Thibaut Courtois

Should have been red for Pepe

Very red

Spare me from the constant Twitter conspiracy theories about Story X being released as a distraction from Story Y. This never happens. It’s chaos out there. Nobody is in charge of anything

Went to the office y’day to pick up the contents of my locker, abandoned since March last year

It was a bit like Christmas Day, but one when I was on the naughty list - grubby Post-Its, out-of-date aspirin, dead biro’s and old tea bags

There were a couple of treasures though t.co/gRbfI9FP1…

I’m not convinced

“They aren’t going to do a leak inquiry. The thinking is that you could argue that whoever did it was a whistleblower. If someone was whistleblowing, putting sensitive information into the public domain, they deserve to be protected”
