  1. Koki's father was a maker of mawkishly sentimental films. He was known as the hokey Koki.
  2. Happy Birthday Taiho Koki, sumo wrestler. If you haven't heard of him I wouldn't be surprised. He's quite a low-key Koki.
  3. In a horrific misunderstanding, some people have been stringing together and hanging small seed-eating birds of the family Emberizidae.
  4. BUNTING
  5. @LexxClarke Safe blud. @gillian_philip
  6. @Gillian_Philip Innit.
  7. Hello young people. You're wonderful, you really are. But the word is 'the'. 'The'. Not 'da'. Thanks.
  8. @corrie_corfield And pointless. The people who see it are already following. Twitter's equivalent of Sally Field's Oscar acceptance speech.
  9. @vpeanuts This was at a station cafe, where they obviously have a thermostat set to "99.99 - kill!"
  10. @pman This was at Leicester station - I had no control over the situation...you, on the other hand, only have yourself to blame. :-))
  11. @Mousehole1 Unfortunately the coffee was from a station cafe...
  12. @hprw Is that arrgh because of "your" or @louisemensch?
  13. I've had this coffee for 20 minutes now and it's still undrinkably hot. In a couple of minutes it will probably be undrinkably cold.
  14. So I come out of my rehearsal to find four wickets down and Vettel up four places. See what happens when I leave you alone, world?
  15. I'm a bit bored.
  16. Roll the words round your mouth: Luton. Airport. Parkway. The taste of promise.
  17. Ah, Luton Airport Parkway. Just the mention of the name evokes history, romance and adventure.
  18. @MikeJarman Yay! Well done! Still life in the old dog yet.
  19. @caroleagent Music lost.
