Great night of nerdy comedy @StandNewcastle with the debut of the medieval wheel of wee.

Join us on May 6 for a language-themed show! Tix: https://t.co/3mOiuLVHNb

It's good this clocks going forward thing. It allows us to label six months of the year as "British summer time", which from a meteorological standpoint is absolutely unthinkable #clocksgoforward #BritishSummerTime

[Mike Shephard @MikeShephard]

As always, great to be laughing and learning with @beefanddairy last night @MaxFunHQ

[Box to Box Comedy @boxtoboxcomedy]

Still a few tickets left for a brilliant night of stand-up comedy @TheVaultHexham next Saturday (6 April).

Featuring David Hadingham (“some of the best handmade gags in the business”) and host @Anjatkinson (“brutal honesty and strong punchlines”).

Academics! In CVs, letters, etc., replace:

"my teaching" (bland, bullet-pointed learning objectives)

with "my teachings" (wisdom, cosmologies, transcendent knowledge)

You will surely get a better title than "distinguished professor", perhaps "sapient" or "eminent professor".
