Hats off to @jessphillips. Jog on to @elonmusk.

Here's a 🎶 parody of Leonard Cohen's "Bird on the Wire" about Musk's recent spate of diarrhoea tweets about the UK, called "Turd on a Wire."

(With an attempted nod to the wonderful @kdlang arrangement of the song)

@Briansmyth99 Overtaking traffic on the inside is always dangerous and stupid whether by car or bicycle.

Get on the train at Manchester, young lad in a hoodie sits opposite me, tattoos on his hands my first thought is “here we go” he asks where I’ve been and where I’m going so I tell him, we chat a bit more and he asks why I’ve been to Glasgow and what I do, I think do I tell him

Just finished watching one of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen. A film I never knew about for some reason. “Quartet” featuring especially The great #MaggieSmithRIP. I want to see again and again.

@seanhollandOSS I think you meant to say ‘right beside Co Donegal, the cultural centre of the North-West’

[Jim Livingstone @LivingstoneJim]

@JaneyGodley Take care lovely lady and hoping your health improves so that you can go on carnival rides soon again! Thank you also for giving my daughter Teresa inspiration in her first Edinburgh Fringe this year.

Great to have @mspence001 and @AGMcCormick on BBC’s The View tonight with @MarkCarruthers7 providing a strong dose of expert reality to politicians that would be foolish to ignore.

@Translink_NI Such a pity there are so few seats for the elderly and infirm in this vast space.

[Jim Livingstone @LivingstoneJim]

@BBCMarkSimpson Just no seats for the elderly or infirm. Sad.
