@gcooney93 The Jaws soundtrack would also work well?

@rcolvile Is the intention that all the tenant protections in the Renters Rights Act will be applied to council tenants as well - given that they're an up to date reset of what tenants need ?

@holland_tom We may get back to that level of beer consumption if the problems with our rivers aren't resolved soon?

@Kpaxs Obama wrote in his memoirs that a problem in Washington DC was that so many participants were trained to win the argument, rather than solve the problem

@stephenpollard I think there's a typo in the announcement - shouldn't it read "Bored", not "Board" ?

@susie_dent @hayfestival As a 69 year old lawyer I still talk about eg "The Ballad of Reading Goal". Ever since first coming across the word "gaol" it's been "goal"not "jail" for me and I absolutely can't shake it.

@thomasforth the "office car" collects you from your front door. Configured with all corporate IT including security, so you're working securely on your way into the office...

@sturgios "We can walk to the kerb from here". Number of times the script is quoted is another good test....

@MichaelLCrick Congratulations Michael. I thought it was just me who cared. I've made the same promise to my children.

@stephenpollard There's a line there somewhere about preferring hot air to academic achievement?

@Adam_Grant_Bell Adding to the questions - and does the presence of the regulator free both the Government and the regulated businesses from "owning" responsibility for their actions/inactions? Rather than "is this right" does the view become "it's OK if the regulator signed off/didn't object"?
