@carlafrancome @HaringeyCyclist As much as a polar bears ears can prick up…

Please consider retweeting this - a remarkable endeavour from a remarkable young man. Marcus has faced down more than his fair share of challenges and is attempting to become the youngest person to run the length of the UK. A proper role model.

Well the final two weeks of the challenge is here. Thank you so much for all the love and support, been a mad adventure. £39,000 raised for mind ❤️

@SketchesbyBoze Perhaps Tolkien just isn’t for everyone? I read voraciously & avidly, an author at a time, but despite many attempts could never get on with The Hobbit.

@lulubaker @law83692622 @BladeoftheS Howk. What a fantastic word.

@ragdollyanna2 @law83692622 @BladeoftheS That smell! So evocative… When my lads were smaller, one year I unilaterally banned pumpkins and bought swedes for everyone. My wife has yet to fully forgive me.

@JohnLeBrocq @BladeoftheS Bobbin’ for apples in Lancashire.

[Iorek Byrnisson @IorekByrnisson]

@BladeoftheS It was very much a thing in Lancashire in the 1950s when my parents were growing up, lanterns carved from swedes rather than pumpkins. Routinely hosted and went to Hallowe’en parties in the ‘70s.

@oldandrewuk Babylon 5. Hands down.

@RajSKohliexcop @history99917180 Came for this. My cubs “emergency kit” had a 2p and 5p taped to the lid.

A bit of a dream achieved. One day in the Lower Amazon and I have ringed a Hoatzin. These are one of the most primitive birds in the world that is considered as being a step away from the archaeopteryx.

[Iorek Byrnisson @IorekByrnisson]

@mattthesparrow Just amazing. What a wonderful creature to have such an extraordinary encounter with.

[Iorek Byrnisson @IorekByrnisson]

@pythaginboots @FootballTalkHQ Liked for using thrice.

[Iorek Byrnisson @IorekByrnisson]

@4Viewers @Channel4 Enjoyed the episode, but the failure to mention the Rowntree family’s Quaker beliefs in the confectionary segment was rather disappointing. Shoddy research, or deliberate omission, I wonder?

Woooah… this is a very smart/evil scam. The web savvy will immediately spot the dodgy email address, but I bet plenty won’t.

[Iorek Byrnisson @IorekByrnisson]

@QazzjJones @SpinningHugo What a great story, despite the bittersweet ending.

@_Reading_Rocks_ @bphillipsonMP I feel like pen licences have had their day - being comfortable with the implement that works best for each individual seems a better route. Different (pen or pencil) strokes for different folks.

@Dr_BellaR “Be kind” is out there with “with all due respect”. Immediate red flags 😂

Israel is not Netanyahu
Palestinians are not Hamas
The protests demanding a ceasefire are not hate marches.
The Home Sec must stop pitching community against community and emboldening fringe elements by making strawman arguments which she knew were simply untrue
