My Dad would have turned 95 this month. Towards the end of his life I asked him what he would have done differently if he had his time over. He considered for a moment, then said ‘probably wouldn’t have had children’. 14 years ago and I still laugh every time I think about it.

So day 5 of my twitter life. Disappointed I haven’t been involved in a spat yet. Boris Johnson is an exceptional PM. Bob Dylan’s best work came in his Christian period. Hibs will spank Hearts in the semi cos the jambos are a pub team.

A very enjoyable hour this afternoon in the company of my old boss John Lloyd. His show Do You Know Who I Am? is a loose collection of reminiscence, jokes, anecdotes, science, philosophy. As smart as the old fella himself. Highly recommended.
