@RestIsPolitics@RoryStewartUK@campbellclaret Listener update here - I’m back listening regularly since Alister and Rory discussed my last question - loads of family and friends have been in touch and it sparked quite a few debates. Thank you!
@RestIsPolitics@RoryStewartUK@campbellclaret I usually listen to every episode of the podcast but can’t muster the energy since the US elections & the UK press turning on the UK government (no gov is without fail, but just give them a break - it’s not been that long!). What can you say or what can I do to reverse that?
Hi @easyJet - our baby Oskar forgot his beloved Foxy on your U28246 flight from Thessaloniki to Gatwick last night 😢 Is there any chance your amazing staff member Samuel or one of his lovely colleagues found him? Baby Oskar can’t sleep without Foxy (and neither can we!)
@RebekahRyder Good for you!
I wanted to bring my baby (then barely 6 months old) to a comedy gig but was told that it was 18+ material so I couldn’t bring him. And that was just after @Kathbum was in the news for doing the same. #doublestandards#eachtotheirown
@holland_tom@TheRestHistory Amazing! Just in time for our drive to Germany (West - but can’t wait to listen to the episode on East Germany as well. We’ve got 10 hours …)
@CathyMcCulloch I saw this last week in the Lakes near Elterwater and was wondering what it was. Now I wish I had hammered in some coins. Thanks for sharing your story!

@katiedimartin As a 1st y PhD student, went to an international conference in India, co-funded by my university and my alma mater. Day 1, I was the only (West) German. Was told that it’s tradition to sing national anthem of all sponsoring the conference. No recordings allowed. 1/3
@katiedimartin Same prof didn’t accept me as PhD st b/c he allegedly already had s.o. working on exact same topic - I’d asked a friend (!) (his PhD st) to proofread my MA thesis. She translated it into German + send it to him as he asked for intro into my subject as he didn’t know about it 3/3
@katiedimartin East German prof didn’t know words to nat anthem, so made me sing it on my own. Day 2 and big wig prof (and my master’s supervisor) arrives and reads his entire paper. Including all the instructions his 3rd y PhD student had added, like ‘click on the image to play video’ 2/3
