The tweets of the week in the London Borough of Barnet 23 October 2022

 What a week it's been. I nearly skipped this as I've been at a 60th Birthday celebration lunch in Malden. As I was the driver I didn't drink. As this feature is light hearted and there are lots of people tweeting about the Prime Minister job application (most of whom have absolutely nothing intelligent, funny or interesting to say and are saying it at great length) I almost didn't bother, but I had a peek and there are actually some wonderful tweets this week, in amongst all of that dull chaff!

As to my week. Had a very pleasant curry at The Great Nepalese on Monday with my old boss from my days at Streamline. On Wednesday, did some recording with the False Dots of a rather good new number (even if I say so myself). On Thursday, I hobbled around the Mill Hill Powerleague pitch on a swollen ankle, which I thoroughly enjoyed. On Friday, we had a curry at the Mill Hill Tandoori and got soaked as we left and yesterday went up to Borehamwood FC to watch them play my favourite National League team Wrexham. I am very impressed with the setup at Borehamwood. Both teams played some nice football. I've seen this fixture a few times and you can see the influence Pep Guardiola has had on football at every level. That was my week. What were our tweeters up to. 

1. I have to start here. A new book was released this week by Amberley Books, written by our great friend Mr Mark Amies AKA @Time_nw

Soaring above London with our riveting #NewBook Flying up the Edgware Road: The Birth of North-West London's Aviation Industry by @PastLondon

2. Did you know that heavy bombers for the RAF were built in Cricklewood in WWII? Ron Eisele did and if you read Mark Amies book you can find out the full story!

7. I was otherwise engaged yesterday, but I loved this Tweet about our oldest local football club and their opposition. This is the real spirit of grassroots football.

At Bedford station after a watching @hadleyfc at @Kempston_Rovers Cannot sing the praises of Kempston enough. Lovely ground and clubhouse with the most welcoming and friendly fans in #nonleaguefootball exactly what football should be like! @NonLeaguePaper @NonLeagueCrowd
