This is wonderful
Best anecdote in Carol Thatcher's book about her father is when Sir Denis boarded a train at Paddington in which the only empty compartment was reserved for Rosewood Psychiatric Hospital.
Denis travelled alone and in comfort as far as Reading when "all these chaps piled in", accompanied by a male nurse, who counted them before the train moved off.
'One, two, three, four ... who are you?"
"I'm the Prime Minister's husband."
"Six, seven, eight, nine..."

Like in this story I did? No idea why you think I wouldn’t mention that, Adrian.

Just for context for everyone else, there was also 207 new Gardai on the same bulletin. #balancedreporting

I feel so sad for good colleagues losing jobs @Telegraph. It says it will focus on new revenue streams including “video, audio, puzzles, events, B2B, licensing, commerce and new products”. These people seem to forget that without covering news and sport there IS no product 💔

So Telegraph has ejected @GavinMairs a rugby correspondent of the highest class - in my career at Sunday Times he was a relentless opponent. - and a magnificent friend. Insanity rules

The great @donalmacintyre has a book out on the #noahdonohoe case. I cannot recommend it highly enough. I read it earlier this week. He kindly agreed to do an interview with me on our Shattered Lives pod. I could have spoken to him four hours.

Thoughts with some bloody brilliant colleagues at The Telegraph. Hearing some top operators losing their jobs. Awful.

BREAKING: @Gardainfo arrest three more suspects over the arson attack in Waterford that claimed the lives of four members of the English family. More on @IrishMirror

Judges get decisions wrong all the time. It happens, so it would be absurd to suggest this case is over. But I also really doubt that City’s lawyers are feeling “bullish”. It is City that has to do the heavy lifting here, and they will know it is a very tough job. 6/6
Michael O’Toole retweeted
There have been plenty of reports about Man City’s evidence that they think proves their case. For those wondering, it’s important to know that this evidence would almost definitely have been presented to the independent commission. Real trials are not like Boston Legal. 1/6

Big chase, what @Gardainfo calls a managed containment, on the M50 in Dublin in a while. I understand four members of a burglary gang are now in custody. Garda Air Support Unit was involved.

You cannot attribute the info/quote to the source.
Anyone who discloses information to a journalist/investigator and expects it NOT to make it to publication/broadcast is a naive fool.
Why do they think they're talking to you?
This is the same believing the stripper likes you.
