Not sure I agree with one of the answers on today's Egg Heads. Q. In the most commonly used set of dominoes, what is the greatest, total number of pips or spots on a single domino? A. 18 (Double 9). This was called incorrect by @theJeremyVine Thoughts? #Dominoes #EggHeads

Note: The question wasn't 'In the most commercially available set of dominoes...', which would probably be the double six version, but 'the most commonly used set of dominoes', which Wiki suggests is both the six and nine versions of the game.

You know it's a good book when you get up at 5.45am to rattle off a few chapters before starting work! I think I'll be sad to get to the end tbh. #TheThursdayMurderClub @richardosman

Having something to believe in is more important than fame, adulation and trophies. That's what the England team means to me and I'm going to keep on believing. Respect to each and every one of you. @England #proudtobeenglish

I'm sad and angry to learn that one of my neighbours, and close friends, was flooded again last night because @TogetherHousing have failed to complete remedial work on their housing development in Parkgate, which was built without adequate drainage. @RMBCPress @rotherhamtiser

In these shitty times it's the little things that matter. Take the young lad on the green bin collection round this morning. My bin had disappeared so he left his station to find it for me with a smile on his face and time to have a little banter. #ExcellentService @RMBCPress

How the hell are we supposed to get on top of this COVID situation when it takes 5 days for my partner to get her test results. She works for the NHS and had to work whilst waiting for the results, putting the public and colleagues at risk. @MattHancock

Just a short Tweet to congratulate the continued efforts of the team at Asda, Parkgate. Rotherham. What a fantastic contribution they have made throughout the lockdown, remaining polite, chatty and helpful. Well done all. @asda #LovingYourWork #ThankYou #CovidUK

We popped into @ringobellshh last night for a bite to eat and was amazed by how organised they were. Booking was easy, staff were brilliant and the food was tasty and extremely cheap (I even used the app to order lol). Well done all. #GoodService #EatOutToHelpOut #COVID19
I was recently introduced to @lauramarlinghq on @BBCLater and OMG her voice just kills me. I've not felt this emotional since I first heard The Kick Inside by Kate Bush. @KateBushMusic #HowToMakeAGrownManCry 😍
I’ve just finished series 2 of After Life. I’ve never laughed, cried, laughed, cried and then laughed again so much in ages. Absolutely brilliant TV. @rickygervais 🤣😢🤣😢🤣

Match of the Day: Top 10 has to be the greatest football show ever. Thank you @GaryLineker @IanWright0 @alanshearer #LivingLegends #FootballBanter
Well done @asda, Parkgate. They've nailed the 2m distance thing, the shelves were well stocked and the staff even had time for a laugh and a joke, despite putting themselves at risk in support of the local community. Well done all, you're doing us proud. #LovingYourWork #COVID19

My partner works for the NHS and suffers with asthma. Does she go into work and put herself at risk or distance herself for 12 weeks? And if she does need to stay at home will she get paid? Her HR team have told her they don't know what's going on? @MattHancock @NHSuk

Just a selection of photos taken in and around the Parkgate area. When will @RMBCPress take action and put our taxes to good use? @JohnHealey_MP #BrokenEngland #BrokenCommunity

Listening to @MattHancock on @BBCBreaking about increasing the number of nurses, he stated that we currently have 280,599 FTE, which the @Conservatives will increase by 50,000 to give a total of 330,599 by 2024-25. Forget net or gross, new or retention, let's see what happens.
