Where can you get one of these? (And don't say 'Japan'. London preferred.)

[David Parlett (he, him, who?) @DavidParlett]

Lovely! Did you paint them yourself?

These days it’s not very often that I like photos of myself but this one isn’t too bad. Perfectly coordinated with the fly agarics too 🍄

I normally love haggis but I can't say this dish looks particularly appetising. When I last visited Scotland I had to pester the hotel to serve up any haggis at all, naively expecting it to be on the menu as a matter of course. (Main course, of course.)

[Lucy Worsley @Lucy_Worsley]

I feel this could prove divisive *cowers*
In the fine nation of Scotland at the weekend, I had HAGGIS FOR LUNCH. With a piece of marrow bone too. Adoration? Or abomination?

[David Parlett (he, him, who?) @DavidParlett]

Nasty one, that!

@gillyforrester Enjoyed your talk at NS Live last Saturday. Didn't have time for this question: Could you adapt your language machine for use by an octopus?

[David Parlett (he, him, who?) @DavidParlett]

Wish I'd done that! Hope I can learn from it. More, please.

I've always considered snooker the ideally perfect game, from every angle. It is the only truly beautiful game.

[TerrorEd25 💙 @Ed25Terror]

@hurricanehorton You cannot hate snooker. It’s physically impossible. You either love it or you’re indifferent to it.
