@susie_dent @hayfestival I've always mispronounced words - my historic bests are probably "mauve" to rhyme with "mouth", "athlete" with "glut" and "lemur" with "demure". At the age of 53, I still get corrected on my pronunciation.

@RetirementTales Duel by Propaganda! One of my favourites!

@Fudds13 @DeborahMeaden Well, he's not a Catholic, and that's obviously a must.

@fesshole I live in a rural area and walk my dog on farmland. I get permission from the owner and have poo bags. When it's someone else's land, stay away if you've not got permission - and don't contaminate crops. You wouldn't let him crap in your neighbours garden, or maybe you would.

@floboflo @DeborahMeaden I can see 8 plus an ad.

@RetirementTales I'm sure that's one of my grandma's cakes, and she passed away in 2005! Hope you've been feeding it.

@justdave89now About 7 years ago, I was sat in a monitoring ward at the JR in Oxford and two older men were openly telling a Portuguese nurse "Go home, we won the vote" even whilst she was treating them.

@LaylaMoran I'm following you on BlueSky in anticipation, I pop on Twitter a couple of times a week just to see what people I follow have posted, and then pop off again

[Alaric Rose @adhrose]

@RetirementTales I don't come on here often anymore, and usually to look at your posts. I've missed pub lunches! I'm going to stick around until you go, and then I too will migrate fully to bluesky.

@fesshole And that's why firms buy into payroll; a small firm I worked for 20 years ago would have picked this up due to pay codes.

@SEANLWOODCOCK This is why X needs a laughing response.

@MikeFozOxford @HarryStroud3 @thameswater Pretty sure there were issues with the pump station in 2015/2016 that led to flooding too. Poor service yet again from Thames Water.

@RetirementTales The Chauffeur. Forgot to put my specs on.

[Alaric Rose @adhrose]

@RetirementTales Could I please have a Tuna Melt with side salad, a nice pint of Brains SA, and either Taxi by Harry Chapin, or a posh taxi "The Chaiffeur" by the Aston Villa player, Duran Duran.

@beckyboopta @RetirementTales One of my favourite songs!

[Alaric Rose @adhrose]

@oldishbird1 @MichaelRosenYes Good call! Just one adaptor required.

@JasonManford I'm bald, middle aged and over weight - I've been bald since my 20s. Haven't turned into a racist but I'll keep an eye out for any worrying signs.

[Alaric Rose @adhrose]

@benhunt There ate two good ones here; Monkey and i is my favourite.

@RetirementTales Calon lân is a belter!
Calon lân yn llawn daioni
Tecach yw na'r lili dlos
Dim ond calon lân all ganu
Canu'r dydd a chanu'r nos.

English language songs, I really liked He's Got the Whole World In His Hands.

@LaylaMoran @rebeccabutlerm2 I think the content is spot on!
