After all, who wants a non-genuine fake watch?
Well, #Twitter seem to have fixed the trending box. However I am not sure I want to see #bbclaurak interviewing Steve Bannon and @PennyMordaunt on the pyramid stage at #Glastonbury.
Well played, @BantshireUni , you shot, you scored. (Insert swisssshTHOCKKK sound effect here.)

Disappointingly, #Twitter <spit>X</spit> has replaced the "Trending" pane with a new beta-release "Explore" pane, bringing to an end this class of mildly amusing tweets: x.com/hughpumphrey/s…

Why do today's @EdinburghUni students not know when to use capital letters? Do schoolteachers no longer bother to tell them? Do @ChatGPTapp and @Microsoft word think that random nouns need a capital? Are students all secretly immigrants from Germany?
"Vote Tory" is trending. But @Conservatives should not be pleased: all of the actual posts have the word "Don't" in front of "Vote Tory", either explicitly or implicitly.
Does this sound like your colleagues, @theresphysics ?

This is brilliant. Never heard of @jemmaforte (or indeed @MarinaPurkiss) before but it feels like a valid summing up of the @AngelaRayner situation. (The comparison to Lord Ashcroft was, of course, made previously by @PrivateEyeNews 's Ian Hislop on @haveigotnews .)

At this point in the year, 2024 is now cumulatively wetter than any of the other years I have recorded. #LoveUKWeather? I might if I was a duck.
The #LGBTQIA train (@LNER ) was at @NetworkRailEDB today. But why does this coach have a "Testing my colour ink cartridge" colour scheme?
I imagine that the @scotgov is going to be calling on @jimmcquaid as their new smoke enforcer. It is time to be afraid. . .

Tower spring clean day at @Stmaryskirk. Lots of nasty hoovering and a replaced rope. Selfie with underside of tenor because I was holding the clapper in place while its crown staple was tightened. (@SBellringing)
Hmm. The south facing side of my house has no sloping roofs but does have a bit of high-up vertical wall. Can I do this, @ELCouncil ?

***k's sake. We have had four days of #April2024 and it is already the wettest April that I have recorded so far (in Dunbar, Scotland). #loveukweather ? Not this week.

Unsympathetic reaction to the First Minister's resignation
It sounds like a boring topic, but air conditioning is more important than you realise. First: there are 2 billion air con units in the world and they account for 10% of all electricity we use. Second: it has revolutionised architecture and totally reshaped global politics...
He insists that he’s the first tiny prick they experience
London Kings Cross to Edinburgh via train is only ~4h 20 (and it’s a very pleasant journey on fast and modern electric trains!). It seems the main reason some people opt for flying this short distance is simply the cost. Trains need to be cheaper & flying more expensive.
What are the most frequented flight routes in Europe? A whopping 43 flights between London and Amsterdam departed every day last year, making it the second-busiest route in Europe despite a direct 4-hour train alternative. It’s time to rethink how we travel in Europe.
When I see devs moan about code issues/IDE's etc... and the sheer amount of memory they have to play with... Then you look at what real coding is... THIS and the AGC A triumph
The greatest feat of computer coding, so far, in history. The recovery of Voyager 1. A little bit of humanity sails on in its interstellar journey. The little satellite that can. @NASAVoyager.
Some of my favs on Twitter bringing high end comedy to my timeline today.
Oh man this is funny. 'Don't fuck with me cos you ain't my boss' says Old Harrovian (expelled) acting dynasty nepo baby, wearing his designer camo jacket and posh-person scarf, looking like a coke-addled skeleton that's been dipped in wax. x.com/i/status/17828…
Having travelled the world & lived in other countries, one thing that's become clear is the BBC pisses all over every other national broadcaster in both news & entertainment, is why it's so respected globally. UK 'patriots' who slate it for 'wokeness' simply haven't got a clue.
Muscular unionism in action - just didn’t expect to see it coming from an SNP first minister…
NEW: FM @HumzaYousaf “utterly furious” UK Gov hasn’t extended legislation to pardon sub-postmasters to Scotland - accuses ministers of using Horizon victims as “political pawns”. “Outrageous…unfair…unacceptable” @LBCNewsScot
Crumbed ham. Why the fuck does this exist? Literally nobody prefers ham with a thin layer of tasteless orange slime around the edge.
I’m a very lucky girl. 25 years ago I was sitting in a crowded pub in York trying to explain my concept for a book to a group of friends and telling them how I would get published by one of the big houses. Now I’m on a train off to discuss my next FOUR books!! Better get writing!
Rwanda farce is a waste of billions to achieve nothing, a shameful appeal to bitter fringe weirdos, and it is waging war on desperate people who asked us for help, which is bad for who we are, at the soul - this may not seem that salient, but it is the most important of the three
Rishi Sunak’s new Rwanda legislation will pave the way for the detention of migrants within days under plans to get the first deportation flights off the ground by July ⬇️ thetimes.co.uk/article/rwanda…
The new @SchoolOfEng_UoE building taking shape @uoeKB 😍
Just talked to someone who explained his 'side hustle' is that he's a 'wellness accelerator'. Why can't he just say 'second job' and 'utter fanny'?
We all need to stop buying stuff from stations. Absolute racket. WH Smith the biggest piss takers-£2.99 for a coke. But they all mark up 30% on their high street price. Some forward planning and we can either bring these twats into line or force them out of business altogether.
Why does everything need to be on a phone? It was fine with music and cameras, but payment cards and (in the future) passports? All this seems to me is making it even more of a nightmare if your phone breaks / is stolen, might as well just abandon your old life at that point.
That sounds like a pain in the ass
Got flagged by airport security because my son had a Magic 8 Ball in his backpack. Two TSA agents debated whether it was ok. My husband said, “If only we had a simple way to answer a yes or no question…” Crickets.
I don't know who this Tory mayoral candidate is, but she's trying to nick point 12 from my manifesto. OR IS SHE? MAYBE I JUST LEFT IT ON THE TUBE.
