@Gatwick_Airport My flight (KM3119 at 09.55) isn’t listed under departures on your website. I’d like to check that everything is okay with its scheduling.

I'm not on X very often these days, but wanted to spread the word that Literature and History are looking for a new co-editor to replace me when I step down in January. I've really enjoyed my 8+ years at the journal:

Getting Richard Curtis rom-com vibes.

@AvantiWestCoast Thanks for the swift response, Ross. I’d best get some sleep now then!

[Emrys Jones @EmrysDBJones]

@AvantiWestCoast Can you advise on whether the 8.30 train from London Euston to Glasgow Central is running? National Rail website now has it as cancelled but your website doesn’t. I already had my booked train cancelled and was advised to take this.

@AirMalta Hi there, I would like to purchase excess baggage for a flight on March 30th but your website won’t allow this date to be selected. Could you please advise on how to proceed?

On my last morning of #BSECS2024, I’ve been privileged to see presentations from three of my PhD students. Won’t name them here, but I’m proud of them all!

It was a pleasure to chair the panel on Education and Enlightenment at #BSECS2024 today, featuring fantastic work by @LadysMuseumProj, @conbrunstrom and @LeifHammer. Inspiring stuff, making valuable connections between eighteenth-century educational practices and our own.

[Emrys Jones @EmrysDBJones]

Fascinating to hear from @Jakub_Lipski about Polish responses to Sterne in early 19thc. Another great panel at #BSECS2024.

[Emrys Jones @EmrysDBJones]

Great #BSECS2024 panel to start the day, letting us hear from curators at @NTAssemblyRooms about their recent research into “the working life of play” in 18thc. Bath.

@EICatHome Devastating news. Arthur was such a supportive colleague, generous with his time and his wisdom. We'll miss him terribly.

Wonderful #ISECS23 paper on the politics of Cottonian bookbinding by @helen189. I learned so much!

Great to be in Rome for ISECS2023!

I am in Rome at the International Congress on the Enlightenment where there was a standing ovation at the opening ceremony when the Ukrainian delegates took the stage. #ISECS2023. @isecs_sieds

Looking good, Gulielmus! We’re celebrating #SelfieDay with Hogarth’s self-portrait from 1749. This impression of state 4 is bound into vol 1 of the 3-vol collection of Hogarth prints formerly owned by George Steevens.

How could I not share this excellent 1760 fronitspiece, discovered whilst looking into the history of #gossip #eighteenthcentury #literature #history #twitterstorians

@london_theatre I appreciate it's a very difficult technical undertaking but it's been a worse experience than ever this year and the system clearly isn't fit for purpose. Booted off several times even after entering payment details. Would hope there will be a proper investigation into failings.
