@ScotRail A Scottish government IT project doesn’t work. Is anyone surprised!?

@QcWynter I enjoy reading your tweets @QcWynter but I think, in the case, you’ve been taken in by some rage bait. @Broonjunior gives a clear explanation of why the operator licence was not revoked https://t.co/uTsHTkECQ2

@SebMilbank @HoraceSpellman9 A taxi operator’s licence is not the same as a taxi driver’s licence. You can have one without the other. This guy had both. The driver’s licence was immediately revoked and he’s never getting it back. He won’t be allowed an operator’s licence either.

@Tom_Courtney_7 @Mr_Andrew_Fox Only when mobilised - not for weekends or annual training

@ForWomenScot How long will you need to wait for your expenses to be settled this time!? 🕰️

[Craig Sapper @CraigSapper]

@CliveWismayer I think you mean interdict, not sist. An interdict is the equivalent of an injunction and a sist is the equivalent of a stay.

@jorejarena1 @ThatisBrand @Scott_Wortley Jacob Kiplimo finished 3rd in 2:00:28 which also broke Kelvin Kiptum’s world record

@premrugby @gloucesterrugby Technically a 22:22 😮 🏉

@xandymccurdy @Eschentharrn @babybeginner No, you didn’t. You posted a screenshot of legislation that applies to England & Wales. It genuinely isn’t difficult to read before you post a screenshot - you’re halfway there by finding the piece of legislation. Master the reading bit and you might even stop being wrong.

[Craig Sapper @CraigSapper]

@xandymccurdy @Eschentharrn @babybeginner The Scottish equivalent is contained in the Sexual Offences (Scotland) Act 2009 which came into force in 2010. Prior to that date, in Scots law, rape could only be committed by a man against a woman by inserting his penis in her vagina. Nothing else was, legally, rape. 2/2

[Craig Sapper @CraigSapper]

@xandymccurdy @Eschentharrn @babybeginner Your screenshot is from the Sexual Offences Act 2003. Click the “Show Geographical Extent” box and you will see that it only applies in England & Wales. 1/2

@CombatRecce @RoyalArmdCorps Is that the same WO2 (SSM) Jock M who was formerly a Warrant Officer of Engineers!? 🤔

@sean_f_scullion @SgtMajFrench Have been back numerous times over the years but it wasn’t until I went back as a major that I felt confident I was out of the range of the CSgts and Sgt Majs!!

@RoddyQC @SBarrettBar @joannaccherry I think this is the point where a deep breath and a negroni are required, @RoddyQC !!

@thinkdefence A permanent red warning on JAMES 🙄 ‼️

[Craig Sapper @CraigSapper]

@CrimeGirI My favourite tactic, when faced with a “l’m not John Smith” (because his name is a legal fiction or the likes 🙄), is to invite the sheriff to find that the defender is absent and, accordingly, to grant decree by default. Amazing how often John Smith is suddenly present in court!

[Craig Sapper @CraigSapper]

@PresidentSsc I have a similar conversation on a regular basis!

Me to client: You will incur a court fee when I lodge the Record.

Client: Do you mean Record?

Me: No, Record

Client: Record…as in a vinyl LP?

Me: No, Record as in….Record!

😂 🤦‍♂️ 👨‍⚖️ 😂

@jimrobottom “No plan of operations extends with any certainty beyond the first contact with the main hostile force” - Field Marshall Helmuth von Moltke (often quoted as “No plan survives first contact with the enemy”)

Still best to have a plan that can be adapted to the changing situation!
