@jimalkhalili Yesterday I finally got round to booking our tickets for our annual pilgrimage to the Cheltenham Science Festival, but … there’s no Prof. Jim in the line-up! That’s going to be so weird. Is everything okay?
@BBCSport@bbc5live I get why Southampton were permitted six substitutions (Bednarek’s potential concussion), but why were Liverpool permitted six also? Is that part of the rule? A quick Google hasn’t proved revealing!
@NicSampson As big fans of Brokenwood, and reasonably fresh from our 5-week tour of gorgeous New Zealand over the past Christmas and New Year, we can’t believe our luck that you’re visiting our small North Wiltshire town a week Saturday. We have our tickets. Hope you enjoy it!
@NicSampson Boo! :-( Very disappointing, but our complaint’s with the venue, not you. If you do manage to make it to Corsham one day, I offer to buy you a pint in our local 17th century haunted pub!
@elonmusk No, but how many people died by being infected by the unvaccinated? It was never about protecting the individual, but all about stifling the infection rate. But, you know that, because I know you’re a great scientific and engineering innovator. Don’t get dragged down!
@theAliceRoberts So sad. A massive drawback of social media is that people of ignorance and immaturity can behave with supreme confidence, and arrogant delusion, behind the cloak of unreachable anonymity. Worryingly close to how 1930s Central European fascism took hold.
@Gailporter Hi Gail. We all know August’s busy, but if I had some time off then I’d go to the south west coast of Wales, perhaps finding a wee place in the likes of Trefin or Aberporth. Quiet, friendly, quaint pubs, and coastal paths and views to rival anything in Devon and Cornwall. Enjoy!
@theAliceRoberts I’ve found — inadvertently — that the secret to avoiding this problem is to have too few followers to notice. One of the small number of advantages to being a Billy No-Mates. 😕
@manonlloyd96 I was trying not to reveal the location publicly for fear that you’d be swamped by your adoring fans in future! ;-) The restaurant’s name begins with ‘F’ … my “local”. If it was you … hello! :-)
@manonlloyd96 I saw someone who was your spitting image when having a late breakfast at a favourite breakfast haunt in North Wiltshire this morning. My partner (not a GCN watcher) didn’t get it. You and the gang at GCN were one of my Covid lockdown saviours!
@mrmarksteel “If there are any fans of Manchester United who come from South London”? That’s like asking “if there are any Norwegians who come from Norway”!
