I’ve watched marathons all over the world and surely there can’t be a worse experience than the London marathon? The vibes are amazing but I was stuck in two 1hr + queues trying to get home today
Why was Brockwell Park covered in Nike adverts today? Is there nowhere we can go in London to get away from consumerism?
That rocket launch was epic but surely in 2026 the camera work could have been better? Basically didn’t show half of it
Was locked in to @screenrotpod last night and walked straight past this and didn’t even notice. Thought someone had just fallen off his bike 😂
So much chat about Snape being black tonight. That’s a non-issue. The big problem is the actor’s younger than me, how has that happened??
If we’ve got Summer and Winter Olympics how about we bring in Spring and Autumn Olympics so we can have it every year?
Doesn’t matter what BBC channel you put on to watch the Olympics curling will always find you. Whether you want it to or not…

Newcastle United will be in Monday's FA Cup fifth round draw after beating Aston Villa 3-1.
But the game will most likely be remembered for the dreadful officiating:
▪️ Aston Villa's goal should not have stood. Tammy Abraham had mistimed his run and was a yard offside when the free-kick was delivered
▪️ Lucas Digne's late challenge on Jacob Murphy only brought a yellow card rather than a red. It left Murphy bleeding
▪️ Chris Kavanagh awarded a free-kick outside the area when Digne handled inside the penalty box

Hats off to @tntsports coverage of the ice dancing tonight. Shutting up during the skating has made it incredible to watch. They could teach their other sports commentators a thing or two about only adding to the pictures
