@jayforeman Having lived here for nearly three years, my brain shut down totally earlier and I realised that not only do I not know which bins are tomorrow, I can't even remember which colour bin is which - all I know is they're the other way round from my old local council.

@SoozUK Why is he getting shinier? Is he oozing something?

[Huw Pritchard @HP_Chap]

@aliceinwineland We've got one of those. A few minutes ago, it was wearing a pair of pants on its head after my wife threw a load of washing downstairs.

@VaxxersAnti "6G will be based on light" - well, just close your curtains then.

@DaveGorman First time that I've ever got beyond "This is just nonsense, isn't it?" - really wasn't expecting to finish it.

It's a horrible day outside, guess I might as well grab a coffee and head into the archive.

@Sandford_Police Dash In A Rush. Run Hard, Or Else Accident.

@fakehistoryhunt On a semi-serious note - bar blade. Literally a flat strip of metal with the bottle opener bit cut into one end. Too simple to break... although mine is an expert at hide and seek.

@MooseAllain For the most part - and I say this as a reformed grammar pedant - it doesn't actually matter.

What's grammar for? To ensure clarity in language, surely? Show me a single sentence which can't be understood if you swap less for fewer, or vice-versa.

@aliceinwineland Ever tried Leffe Brune? I quite like the Blonde, but personally I think the Brune is a bit special.

@SoozUK I'd love to be the person who comes out with this sort of thing.

"You've lifted 365,000 shrews!"

@Nick_Pettigrew I've literally just seen a tweet from a supporter claiming that he didn't plead guilty and that people should check carefully before they claim that he did.

[Huw Pritchard @HP_Chap]

@DrSimonJStewart @BiologyCarly Oh, you know it already?

[Huw Pritchard @HP_Chap]

@FacebookAIslop I think I'd have the same look of wonder that the old man has got if someone gave me a levitating plate.

[Huw Pritchard @HP_Chap]

@SoozUK Yeah, but he works hard maintaining them to a good standard, right? Surely he's not just paying his agent to do the bare minimum?

...right?

[Huw Pritchard @HP_Chap]

@hellymoo @Michaelrt86 I was going to say that I approve... but to be honest, I'd approve of most pie fillings.

[Huw Pritchard @HP_Chap]

@henry_the_hippo @ActualNames1 Not today, but there's a good chance that the person who sent it to me had been.

[Huw Pritchard @HP_Chap]

@ActualNames1 John and William Bastard https://t.co/4x9scIBUgN

@dank_ackroyd For some reason, I found myself thinking about Alexei Sayle this morning, but couldn't for the life of me remember his name.

I briefly settled on Adrian Chutney.

@AlisonMoyet Language pedantry in general - especially people who get hung up on rules like less/fewer and who/whom.

Show me a sentence - any sentence at all - that's impossible to understand if you use the wrong words out of those examples.
