In about 30 years, thousands of schoolkids are going to be praying that #Brexit doesn't come up in their history exams

@Iain_not_ian You're less mental, but the song is terrible

The term 'mixed messages' is thrown about a lot these days...

@MrStackpoole Ghost-written for you?

[Andrew Dorman @AndyDormann]

Now I am officially able to disappoint people who ask for a Doctor on an airplane!

On a serious note, massive thanks to my supervisor Jimmy, @DCUHist_Geog and the @IrishResearch for their support over the past 4 years, I couldn't have managed without it.

Can't believe the French were turned back from Cork in 1798 by bad weather, but somehow this made it to us instead

@DrCiaranMcDonn @leejanegiles It's not all it's hyped up to be, trust me

[Andrew Dorman @AndyDormann]

@alexkealy Is that the thread count, or the number of seats he can still win?

[Andrew Dorman @AndyDormann]

Now to go through the timeline and figure out if people are talking about Love Island Recoupling, or the collapse of the British government

[Andrew Dorman @AndyDormann]

@alexkealy Reading this thinking 'gig' referred to stand up. Slightly disappointed that comedy audiences don't openly wince when the comedian starts a dated, played out classic trope

[Andrew Dorman @AndyDormann]

@MrStackpoole Amazed they didn't let you go sooner

[Andrew Dorman @AndyDormann]

@ABearPursuesMe I believe so, post-defense (assuming said defense is successful!)

[Andrew Dorman @AndyDormann]

Had to take the jokes out, apparently they get called out in the viva. Delighted to have submitted this for examination, even if I only found out that I couldn't submit a hard copy *after* I put in the print order...

[Andrew Dorman @AndyDormann]

@CopperreinGlass Have to defend it first, then I'll have to wait and see what happens!

[Andrew Dorman @AndyDormann]

@bigandylock @ZwhiteHistory Is that what they were digging for under Messines ridge?

[Andrew Dorman @AndyDormann]

@MrStackpoole @sorobotic At least I don't have beef with the admin of a pizza company.

[Andrew Dorman @AndyDormann]

@LandOfHistory Ha, I wish!

[Andrew Dorman @AndyDormann]

@MrStackpoole Who the hell would waste their time kidnapping you?

[Andrew Dorman @AndyDormann]

We're due another failed invasion in fairness
