Seen any lions today ?
The English fox should be the national symbol and we should protect it from those evil hunts .
No ,they are not vermin and they control their population .
Beautiful animals .
John Challis was a wonderful man to know.
My thoughts are with his lovely and devoted wife Carol.
Knowing John personally has always been a delight.
As an actor he was an absolute pleasure to work with too.
I will really miss seeing his unique style of poise and delivery, a
Thank you everybody for all your lovely messages .
And the best wishes to all those who have shared their own experiences with me .
Onwards and Upwards โค๏ธ๐
I am going home today .
Minus half a liver and a tumour that the wonderful Prof Heaton removed last week.
I kept this under my hat that they'd discovered another primary cancer last year .
I am a two person, that's for sure.
High fives to all at
Kings College Hospital.

52 years in the acting game .
No Oscars ,no BAFTAS ,
No Laurence Olivier awards ,
But who cares when we have the best fans in the world. โค๏ธ
Cheers Mark ๐ป
gift he shared with us all.
It's a bit hard for most of us take it all on right now, and my thoughts are also with Sue. They were a dynamic duo in the world of TV comedy.
RIP John. X
Thank you so much for all the lovely birthday wishes .
It really made my day complete .

Long Tweeeet warning .
I have been trying to avoid this tweet for a while ,but I owe it to my friends to keep you updated.
Despite all the wonderful efforts by the medical and nursing teams at Medway ,Guys ,and Kings College hospitals, the lung cancer has returned .
Thanks again for all your lovely messages .
As you may know , I was diagnosed with lung cancer last July . After an op in Oct to remove the tumour I had chemo to help prevent the cancer returning .
comes not from kindness of which I know he has in spades ,but advances in cancer medicine.
The genetic molecular tests are super precise, and the choice of meds can be made with much more confidence .
I am feeling positive with my good wifes awesome support .
Luv'n'Hugs โค๏ธ

Such awful , tragic news.
It is just too hard to comprehend.
Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with Lucy Nick and family.
It is a very sad time for our profession, as the stage has lost a leading light.

May I wish you a gentle and peaceful Christmas holiday .

The beeb took Only Fools off of netflix despite it was doing really well .
Why .
Britbox now has almost all the episodes and nearly all the specials .
Even the censored ones .
Last friday l saw my oncologist She told me the lung cancer was cured and that the tumour in my liver was shrinking .
It's not over yet , but as you can imagine I am over the moon with this latest news.
@Lord_Sugar
Kim caught it and sharef it with his comrades at a special event. He has now emerged after 3 days with a miracle cure that he discovered.
Kim says the virus was sent by god to prove his might and he does not need to wear a mask or isolate .
Or was that somebody else?

It comes with the entry fee .
The owners could provide enough bins but they prefer to hire cleaners after the show .
Maybe if you went you would know what your talking about .

Why would you vaccinate anyone against a disease that has no symptoms and with a vaccine that is only guaranteed to reduce severity if you catch it.
People often ask if I ever did much theatre work.
Oh yes , and
I loved it
Especially in the 80s .
Why ?
Just take a look at the quality of this cast for a production of
The Summer Party
at the Crucible Sheffield .
Here's where I first met dear Roger .
fairly confident this will stop the leg pain, and I will be up and about again .
I will also hopefully able to get some shut eye .
Another positive is my consultant .He is confident that the chemo will keep things in check for months and even years .
His optimism
I'm sure I just saw Damien queuing up outside the Down by the Riverside Club .

The other day I saw a gov advert advising anyone who has been suffering from bloating , pain or discomfort in the abdominal region and constipation to ask their GP
to refer them for an ultrasound exam .
It's quick totally painless and it can save your life .
What you gonna get then a Wendy house ?
Grandads greatest line .
We always called the Wendy .The audience laughed for ages and were politely asked to stop as we were running outvof studio time .

Baden Powell started a movement that has inspired and enriched the lives of young people of all races and religions for decades . Some "critics" said he was a fascist . You could say that about anyone who wasn't a communist in those days .

You don't have to make the decision.
Do you suffer from extreme chronic pain ?
If no, why don't you just mind your own gods and business .

How long did we delay lockdown for ?
UK 23rd March
Spain 14th Mar
Russia 30th Mar
Thailand 25th Mar
Most countries went into lockdown around the 23rd Mar.
Italy was the first 9th Mar (we know why )
65k people didn't die of C19 in the UK
had the ultrasound all those months ago .
A lot of people put these symptoms down to age and the discomfort , to simply to having a weak stomach .
Please don't ignore it if it persists .
As for me and thanks to the NHS ,
I can now see the same beautiful horizon as you . X
I thought I had a painful groin strain a couple of months ago ,unfortunately that turned out to be the cancer getting into my pelvis and leg bones .
It has also entered my lymphatic system .
What about the good news .
I had radiology treatment last week and my oncologist is

A couple of weeks ago the sad death of an actor who was with all due respect , largely unknown in this country
took the headlines and more than half of the BBC News and Sky News programmes .
Our Forces Sweetheart , Dame Vera Lynne got about 5 minutes .
Another day spoiled by racism.
My wife is a polite ,smiley, person . She is Thai , and she speaks fair english .
She pops into our GPs.
Later she tells me the receptionist was rude to her .
Its always receptionists and shop assistants .
Always.

I often stayed at

I just called him to let him know he was trending on twitter.
"Is that good" he asked. ๐
So we are paying ยฃ400 for the same amount of electricity that our European neighbours get for ยฃ115 .
This needs investigating .

Imagine a supermarket full of people scanning thousands of products and tapping the screen and their pin numbers at the self serve. No gloves.
Millions would be infected every week.
Am I bothered?
Do I look bothered?
This is fear mongering for dummies.
@celebrityradio
Lineker's statements regarding the, anti politics in sport protest was racist, hate speech.
BBC should take action.
Well done the fans for refusing to accept fascist style political indoctrination at a football game.
Why name a show
Britains Got Talent
and then use acts imported from the rest of the f planet .
They are not British they don't even live here , and they have never performed here before ?
Shouldn't it be called
Britain does not have enough Talent .
@gaytimes
Did New Zealand sponsor this insult to the genuine competitors.
Imagine devoting your life to a sport and this happens to shatter your dream.
Blatant cheating.
NZ, can't be that desperate for a gold surely.
During this chemo , another tumour was discovered in my liver .
Luckily for me this cancer was unconnected to
the lung cancer and was also treatable .
I had a procedure called TACE to deal with this .
This led to a pet scan which covers a much larger area .
To my wonderful surprise these lesions were not cancerous but the scan did find an EARLY stage cancerous tumour in my lung .
This has since been removed and I am tweeting now , which would not be the case if I hadn't

They get treated as deniers by their doctors too , for saying it was just after my jab .
The expression and total indifference says it all.
Sadly many people who cant afford to pay their fuel bills will have no option but to pay by prepayment card .
When they apply they will be told how much will be deducted to cover the previous bill and then what's left charged at the top tariff .
This needs to be looked at NOW.
I just ordered something from Amazon, and then noticed the only review was awful .
I googled "how to cancel" and followed the simple instructions.
Not only was the order cancelled almost immediately, but my payment was refunded back into my bank within 3 minutes .
Impressive .๐
Now they claim it has been the hottest year for 125,000 years .
When was the thermometer invented ?
Who took all the readings 100k years ago ?
Since when has geological evidence suddenly become so accurate ?
This is total ๐ฉ
And we are getting these headlines every day .
I was surprised to learn more people died of covid globally in 2021 than in 2020 .
Hardly anybody was vaccinated in 2020.
eg UK first vax was
Dec 8th 2020
How does this relate to the fact that you are 95% less likely to die if vaccinated .
What am I missing here please ?
I now speak from my own experience .
Naturally I wanted to keep my own health problems private , but failing to fully endorse this ad would be selfish .
Thanks to my ultrascan I have a fighting chance .
It showed my organs needed further investigation and tumours were spotted.

Don't put your kids in a dinghy. The parents are putting them in danger not us. If we ignore this and we reward those parents for endangering their children's lives for economic gain. Then you will be putting more kids in danger.

Matts publican friend creates a company
Hinpack Ltd on

Here's a picture of his pub in Matts study.
Why don't we just sort the problem and be done with it .
Machetes , swords, and zombie knives in public :
5 years min .
No ridiculous suspended sentences .
This will save lives and money for unnecessary legal challenges for leniency .
Oh, and we need more prisons .
I am totally against lockdown , but I can't believe that the new year celebrations are being allowed . All that kissing and cuddling is a recipe for superspreading .
Unless of course that is the

Isn't it time you stopped creating these divisive arguments.
It's the last thing you would want on your first day at work.
Good Luck Alex.
If you are paying upfront for your fuel you should get the lowest rate , not the highest.
