As someone who, until recently, spent a lot of time exploring between Belfast and Dublin, I have a terrible prejudice against the drivers of Louth.

This isn't changing my mind

When I saw the news about Anthony Head, my brain went to this bit of comedy. Thanks for the laughs.

As a type 1 diabetic, eating at @McDonaldsUK felt like a pleasure, because the online "nutrition calculator" made it so easy to see the carbs in the meal. It seems to have disappeared. 🙁

Note to the people in that house round the corner from mine:

Just because your car is an EV, with no tailpipe emissions, doesn't mean you get to burn smokey coal in a clean air zone. I hope that helps.

(BTW, I also drive an EV)

You know there’s part of the UK that’s already doing Burnhamism? The state has control of city & regional buses, the rail network & the trains. The water company is state-owned. Care is part of the health service, not councils. A centralised gatekeeper for social housing.

With all due respect to Josh Simons, he doesn't get to pick the next MP for Makerfield. A by-election isn't just a formality.

Listening to the World at One, it sounded like silly games instead of frankness and honesty.

I'm sure it was ever thus, but it feels like a deeply unserious way to make serious decisions.

@PaulBrandITV If you need help from your MLA in Northern Ireland, which of the five do you contact? If you need help from your local councillor (anywhere in the UK) which one do you contact?

You contact the one who you think will help you. And, if they aren't up to much, you can try a rival.

[Matthew O'Toole @MatthewOToole2]

If there is anything more tedious than people who refuse to say Northern Ireland it is grown adults who spend their days policing the Internet for when someone happens to say the north.

Brought leftover tuna bake into work today. I've just realised I'm the archetypal terrible colleague microwaving fish in the office.

The seagulls have started to congregate on that street near me where, in early summer, one of them turns aggressive.

I know it's only April, but I can't remember when it starts. I know it's only one of those seagulls which attacks, but I can't tell them apart. So I'm avoiding.

Thinking about this today.

I cannot understand the mentality of someone who revels in bombing somewhere "back to the stone age" with all of the human suffering that goes with that.

I don't know how I ended up looking at a list of typos which was published in 2013, but it's still worth sharing

In the world today it's hard to identify the April Fools joke from real news.
