@EmiratesSupport please can you tell me whether I am allowed to bring knitting needles in my carry on? I fly tomorrow afternoon from Christchurch NZ to Dubai, and from there onto London Heathrow. I'd dearly love to be able to knit during the 19+ hour flight to Dubai...
@runalongwomble Morning Womble! I'm really enjoying Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir on audiobook, next I'll be reading The Green Man's Quarry by Juliet McKenna
For many NHS staff, the recent racist violence in this country will leave them feeling afraid and unwelcome. To those colleagues, our message is simple: you are welcome and you are valuable members of our community. Reach out for support if you need it.

@runalongwomble Evening Womble, I'm currently reading Saevus Corax Deals With the Dead by K.J. Parker. About 70% of the way through on Kindle, really excellent!
One of the joys of election night is the collapse of party discipline. Once the polls close, the blame game within the Tory party (which has never had much discipline anyway) will begin in earnest. So here's a little game to keep you going. Have a drink for each one you hear.
BREAKING: Just under 500,000 people have registered to vote today.
If we can get an additional 125,000 people registered by 23:59, we will break the record for the highest number of registrations in one day.

URGENT! Pls share. The last chance to register to vote in the General Election is 11.59pm tomorrow Tue 18 June. Potentially 8m aren't registered at their current address. Here's 4 key facts...
1) You can do it online here https://t.co/i4FhJoAXfK
2) It's good for your finances. Not being on electoral roll can make it more difficult to be accepted for credit products like bank accounts or mortgages.
3) You can opt out of the 'Open Register' (which allows your info to be sold on) which will stop you getting junk mail marketing )
4) You'll need ID when you do vote (not to register) if you don't have it, you can get it free until Wed 26 June https://t.co/9bfL3hw3CV
It’s Transgender day of visibility today, and I stand with you all. My whole being is with the trans community, I will never be on the fence, I support you, I stand side by side with you and hope that one day we can all live without fear and discrimination.
I went to see this amazing show in December - it's only in Southwark Playhouse til 17 Feb, but then on tour. See it if you love/hate Disney, musicals, puppets and camp queer fun. I am absolutely going to see it again! https://t.co/gWO6aSLCCV via @YouTube
@sainsburys I contacted you via phone on Boxing Day for a refund (Christmas turkey was inedible). I'm still waiting for the funds to appear in my bank account
