New scientific constant I have discovered: the length of time between me opening my Twitter feed and wondering "why the hell am I seeing *this*?"...before clicking my preference back to "Following" with a sigh of exasperation.
Finished tonight's quiz and went to quickly check on the French Open, meaning that (on current projections) I will be watching Rafa sneak over the line at about 2 in the morning. Oh well, so be it.
A quick thread on in the importance of being careful what data you share - even if you're the Queen. Today, Her Maj tweeted this lovely picture, gor bless er, etc. You might think that the contents of the red box would be official business. And you'd be right. 1/6
There are very few bands who can bring such joy with merely the titles and track listing halfmanhalfbiscuit.uk/new-half-man-h…
I awoke this morning precisely as @norcrosscricket on TMS said "As all England fans know, it isn't the despair which kills you, it's the hope" and, sadly, I think that's when I knew beyond doubt they were doomed.
Things no-one else is crazy enough to be doing right now: final prep for a trip to answer one of the great unanswered questions: just how far can you travel by bus from London in 24hrs? I *think* I know on paper, but in practice…? Follow along from 3am as I slowly go mad. #bus24
Just remembered that in 1941, Churchill described what was happening as "a sirendemic", and said it was time for people to use common sense in deciding if they needed to self-isolate in air-raid shelters.
#MASTERMIND Double Bill! Contenders in tonight’s SECOND Semi-Final: Tim Hall, Sally Wilson, Harry Heath & Ashton Davies, answering on their Specialist Subjects: R.E.M., David Niven, Father Ted & John Wesley. Tune in at 8:30pm on @BBCTwo.
Well this looks good, if you like "that sort of thing"
Nigella Lawson is now doing Klingon recipes and I am here for it.
Always slightly disorienting when you're listening to a podcast (@plentyquestionz) and realise that the person from that podcast (@lucyportercomic) is standing next to you (at a safe social distance). I did not SHOUT THE ANSWERS as this might have been alarming...
Having to explain again to people that - regardless of what the BBC scheduler does - you watch University Challenge (main course) first, then Only Connect (pudding). I don't make the rules*. *I do make the rules.

Things fall apart, the centre cannot hold The falcon cannot hear the falconer Of course the falcon cannot hear the falconer That's not how you do falconry Why are you still yelling I told you, it only has small ears And it's 500 feet up in the air for god's sake gary.
@maxrushden I’d give one automatically to anyone who even goes to his stupid fucking restaurant
A guy going to a space bar for the first time. Look at how the glass distorts the background when I hold it up to the camera. That's attention to detail. Come on people, give me a BAFTA or something.

I was in the supermarket & there was an old lady in front of me at the checkout. She didn't have enough money to buy her shopping, she started to cry then she looked at me & asked "Why won't they stop the boats?" I cuddled her & said "It'll be fine. Rishi will stop the boats"
