Will the real Tolmie please stand up ?

I believe I chatted to Scott at quite a few games home and away back in the early 90's....if it was him and his mate who wrote 'singing the blues' fanzine.

It was. Me and Mike Holden.

Just great to see you back on here. I don't do X/Twitter, so been missed.

I will still be here pal.

Cheers bro, back at ya x

A multi-millionaire from Moss Side who didn't have to tread on the so-called 'little people' to do it.

That's truly inspirational for me!

Lovely to read that guys

Love Tolm’s posts and the furore that followed especially after the Spice Girls clip of 2 becomes 1.

Tolm, thanks for your insights, updates and contribution.

May seem a strange comparison but reading this thread and some of the comments reminded of something from the late, great Murray Walker.

I don’t make mistakes. I makes prophecies that are incorrect.

Always loved your insights and ability not to butcher the English language as I often do.

Noble and hopefully a very rewarding career with 4th Estate but perhaps like you I have become somewhat dismayed at where it is heading.

I don't blame social media however the instant gratification cycle has diminished what I used to look forward to.

Very few storylines that develop over time are followed through to change understanding and the world for the better present themselves now and the craft is dumbed down.

Attention spans and general neediness, very evident in primary schools, sadly.

Nine year-olds who still can't tie their own shoe laces or wipe their own backsides, very worrying generations to come.

They'll have an app for that.
