@onslies @LemonLymancom No problem - actually just signed up to the blue place but a west wing query seemed an excellent way to bow out

@DavidVeevers1 Perfectly cromulent word

@RachelJWillie Sadly the answer is simple, set up a small business and sell them back to your uni travel agent at £140/night. Seriously though, this is rubbish, we used to have an exemption if you could book it yourself cheaper but guess that’s been removed from systems now

@michaelwdurrant A gallimaufry (variant spellings) is a big mixed up ‘thing’ - I’d associate it with a crowd of varied entertainments, but no reason it couldn’t be a recipe for mixed up leftovers/bundle of sweet things

@ChrisKempshall Critically, they can only enter via the room you are in; everyone starts zooming from tiny cupboards; society has brief horror then a collective shrug as we adjust our camera settings and pretend vampires don’t exist.

@DavidVeevers1 Wingspan is about a metre, so quite a good standardisation I’d say.

@DavidVeevers1 Maybe it’s 20 Corvids wide, standard crow-based measurement system?

[Liam @LDHaydon]

@ChrisKempshall No, I’m pretty sure that’s what people were voting for. Didn’t some politicians float down the Thames on nuclear subs to save the Japanese fishing industry?

@DavidVeevers1 Replicating Scrooge’s attire feels like the wrong lesson to draw from ‘A Christmas Carol’, somehow

[Royal Museums Greenwich @RMGreenwich]

RRS Sir David Attenborough, pictured here from the deck of Cutty Sark, is spending its final day in Greenwich. We're sharing a video tour of the ship on our Facebook page from 10.00am so tune in! 🚢

It's also the last day of #IceWorldsGreenwich: https://t.co/IXxIeMg4Gp

@DavidVeevers1 @amyfullermorgan Ahem. “The lion, the witch and the washed clothes”

@SRSRenSoc @TraceLarkhall @RobbieHand @avoiding_bears No, I dimly recall in Sheffield he took Feisal Mohamed out for dinner on behalf of SRS and introduced him to penalties via the England-Colombia game. Wild.

@DavidVeevers1 Definitely not a weird (charter-based!) hangover of royal prerogative, no siree, not in our nice new republic with its balance of powers.

@DavidVeevers1 “Shouldn’t you be in a different department?” 🙄 but seriously, the varieties of ‘what was your worst teaching/research/etc experience and what did you learn?’ - easy if you’ve thought about it, tough on the spot. Good luck!
