Fan of decent football, average beer and unexceptional automobiles.

@MrJamesMay I have two lovely kitchen timers, Culinare branded. They take CR2032 batteries and both are on their 3rd or 4th. Apart from at the time set, the timers also beep at 10 mins to go and 5 mins to go.

There you go, both adventurous and exciting.

@QcWynter When VAR was first introduced, how many of us thought it would be used to find a reason to disallow every goal? That is effectively what now happens. This is not football.

[Derek Griffiths @Not_that_Derek]

@QcWynter @dshensmith I could see our dear PM assuming that Mandy would pass vetting on the basis he’d passed it before. It would therefore be perfectly reasonable for the PM to say he wouldn’t have appointed him if he knew he was going to fail.

Is childlike naivety a reason for resignation?

@LaindonFEMINIST @cjsnowdon I have no issue with digital ID, that’s my choice. But if you think for one minute it will remain optional that’s simply delusional. Let’s be open about this.

@QcWynter "Where did i put my phone?"

@MartinSLewis Not necessarily worthy of a warning but we found there is an element of change to the activities we enjoy. If someone had told me not to plan to do certain things but remain open-minded about what we would do once time was no longer constrained - that would have interested me.

[Derek Griffiths @Not_that_Derek]

@Natasha_etc_ @MartinSLewis Sorry but that is not necessarily correct.

If your response group is not representative of the whole population and is instead made up of people who are measurably of above average intelligence then you could have a 100% response of above average and they would all be correct.

@QcWynter As prune tarts go, it looks very edible. Unfortunately, as quiches go, not quite so much.

@BrewingthePast @thesundaysport As long as you use it as a grill you should be fine but the minute you start trying to slash someone with it all bets are off.

@ranman_the @cjsnowdon I don’t see that. What I see is that most people haven’t seen that this is being brought in, think. that something should be done to try and prevent children accessing pornography but that this system to attempt to do so will not work.

@Suburbannnn @zalatwicc So many people find this so hard to comprehend. Since I retired 3 years ago, my friends and family ask me why I'm not finding things to do and why am I not bored doing nothing. What they mean by nothing is nothing productive. I'm happy and enjoying life and they can't see how.

@paul1964Jam I think I may remember him.

@oldmudgie Should be a “turned off” in there sorry.

[Derek Griffiths @Not_that_Derek]

@oldmudgie I’ve had a bottle of ketchup in my fridge in Spain for 3 months. One of those months I wasn’t in Spain and the fridge was turned. I heard that manufacturers pay testers for finding use by dates, those testers charging exponentially more for longer periods of testing.

@moteparkhammer @Miss_Snuffy Really? In that case they are less well informed than my group of friends aged 60+. I suspect the real problem is few people listen to the lyrics in their entirety since they dislike the music genre.

[Derek Griffiths @Not_that_Derek]

@AdrianD444 @SpeechUnion Indeed, taking that to its logical conclusion, why is a relatively small private business unable to simply refuse business for any reason?

[Derek Griffiths @Not_that_Derek]

@AdrianD444 @SpeechUnion That's interesting isn't it? Where is the line drawn for rudeness allowing a private business to lawfully refuse custom following "zero tolerance"?
