On a 16 two years later and @on_lothianbuses still haven’t fixed this…

[Mark Hamid @MarkHamid]

Has no one ever told @on_lothianbuses the correct pronunciation of “Home Street”?!

[Mark Hamid @MarkHamid]

How’s my driving?

Hello to Port Edgar! ⚓️ This week we came to this stunning anchorage and managed to conduct a Settlement Visit with some members of our ship’s company stepping ashore! 🌅

@EdinburghTrams @on_lothianbuses What an absolute shambles from @PoliceScotland. This is a very sad incident and thoughts go out to those affected but it is not proportionate to have the busiest street in Edinburgh out of action for the whole day! Trams could run straight through without stopping to serve Leith.

@maniaconfloor @SanctaFamiliaTV It follows that a person who says he believes in nothing (other than the supremacy of his own ability to think) holds that a human life is ultimately worth nothing. If humanity is just a meaningless crust on the face of the universe why should we care about protecting any of us?

[Mark Hamid @MarkHamid]

@SanctaFamiliaTV A good point about equality - God loves us all, whether we want him to or not. That even includes the members of the "Humanist Society of Scotland"!

[Mark Hamid @MarkHamid]

Perhaps @fionatalkington on @BBCRadio3 could stop saying that the @LammermuirFest is "in Scotland", as if that narrows things down; is @SnapeMaltings "in England", or the @BuxtonFestival, for that matter? Scotland has many regions and counties to choose from...

How disappointing that @wossy can play “A Bridge Too Far” on @ClassicFM tonight without mentioning it’s #ArmedForcesDay2024… #ArmedForcesDay #ArmedForcesWeek

[Mark Hamid @MarkHamid]

@BBCRadio3 Grateful for your correction, but your reports of her death also appear to be exaggerated...

[Mark Hamid @MarkHamid]

.@BBCRadio3 suspect you will get a lot of these tweets, but Jocelyn Bell Burnell isn't a man...

Well, synthy baroque - it's all good!

[Mark Hamid @MarkHamid]

More synthy Bach on @BBCRadio3 👍👍👍

I wonder why @TescoLeith are so keen to keep customers away by closing their Duke Street entrance. Grateful for more friendly options in the neighbourhood…

@DrFrancisYoung An fascinating resource - thank you!

One small point for further research: the reverse of this cigarette card (I know!) states that "in 1911 the then Archbishop of York preached the Coronation Sermon", so that element may well have been more recently abandoned than 1902.

@AgentP22 Such is her obsession with the Lords she has used its postcode instead of the correct one for Buckingham Palace 😝

[Mark Hamid @MarkHamid]

@STVNews Shame she's got his postcode wrong...

[Mark Hamid @MarkHamid]

.@BBCRadio3 Well that was a lot of Allel*ias for Passiontide!

@AshleyMasonYork @LyonCourt @Charles_Perrett HRH was patron of the NC for almost 70 years; HM’s hatchment now joins his as its most fitting companion. Mark also designed a Diamond Jubilee window for the club (alas not the design ultimately chosen) on the theme “Sixty Years Our Queen and Patron”.
