I have loved all the West Ham success this week. The result, the Moyes dancing and his dad and also the fans. Them singing “you are just a shit Big Ben” at a random clock in Prague cracked me up. Fairly SFW

To you it’s meh, to me, it’s awesome. Had to plait my daughters hair today, on my own, for the first time (for a school thing). We were both nervous AF. When done, she ran to the mirror and shouted “daddy, it’s amazing”. I nearly cried, I’m 41! Let me have this moment yeah.

And you can guess the next bit. - Today, I went for my COVID Jab... and ... there he was! He had retired but come back as a volunteer to do jabs. TLDR:The Dr who saved me at 21, just gave me my COVID jab. And I am, freaked, right, out by that.

Good morning to one and all. I am watching that #Schofield thing right now on @BBCiPlayer . My gut feel, in #crisiscomms #PR terms; he has done this too soon. Before everything has fully emerged. We always say, if planning a comeback, do via one initial big hitting interview.…
