@MichaelJonez @Samfr That ‘winner take all’ medal race is new. Previous Olympics it was about who the best sailor was all week, I believe.

[Graham Shone @Graham_Shone]

@Samfr Americans suddenly taking *lumps* off their PBs in 1500 and 400 is a bit annoying. Peaty getting Covid day of race and losing by nothing. Katy Archibald leg break.
Weirdness with that windsurfing format diddle.

We’ve done brilliantly, just a few bits not gone our way.

@LouisaClarence @katdavies @fletcherr Congrats Louisa! How long before you "go native" do you reckon...

@PropertyDanH @DamianWild Give it Govesy til end o' Parliament.

[John Burn-Murdoch @jburnmurdoch]

Britain’s planning system is a monumental act of national self-sabotage, exhibit #4729.

A big new data centre (which the country really needs) right next to a huge motorway is refused permission because “the buildings would be visible from the bridges across the motorway”

In case you hear anyone describe homelessness as a lifestyle choice - or perhaps you are, or know, someone who think that it might be - here are some of the experiences of young people helped by @landaid

@DamianWild What kind of dystopian hellscape is this?

You all listen to music together? Out loud? *In the office*?

Just the notion of this has ruined my weekend already.

@DrSimEvans I would have "caved this week" but unfortunately I live with someone who grew up further north than me & insists that heating must only be used in arctic-adjacent conditions.

Freezing here.🥶

@DamianSurvation I am absolutely staggered at the Express column.

Do those people buy the paper just to entirely disagree with every single word? Remarkable.

@thomasforth Had a look at ~this in a previous life for @EGPropertyNews - was surprised myself (maybe I shouldn't have been) at how many places came through as strong candidates for housing the expansion of life sciences. Seems a no-brainer to 'move it north', tbh. https://t.co/SlHwK8EQKK

[Graham Shone @Graham_Shone]

@thomasforth Don’t know if this qualifies but… just the composition of the UK itself is sort of strange.

There’s a good line in Ted Lasso: “how many countries are in this country?”

I was born in England, lived in England my whole life�� but if you called me English I’d correct you.

Pleased to be credited on this APPG report into the future of the suburbs - coincidentally timed with my move into the public sector.

One of the most interesting conundrums I faced during my time in CRE was how to define "suburbia" using data!

"Add" doing tons of heavy lifting as well.

Several households will require one party to be at home on most days (kids/pets/other).

So, going to the office over and above the 'normalised' routine will only really add commuting costs.

[Full Fact @FullFact]

A Telegraph article claimed working from home will add more than £2,500 a year to the average household’s energy costs.

But the calculation was flawed, because it assumed that a year was made of 12 Januaries.
