@OctopusEnergy Grrrrr - just when I got to the point of only needing that elusive Kiwi Constantine to complete every set, you go and add more!

@RGA You had me at "proprietary"...

This sounds entirely too plausible as a randomly made up craft beer:

Small batch low carb peanut butter, maitake mushroom & lion's mane mushroom british-style imperial stout - https://t.co/itLAOLzNT4

@mikebutcher I fixed it for you:

Slow hand clap for every party that has opposed voting reforms and kept our broken FPTP system in place, meaning that people feel they have to vote tactically rather than voting for what they actually believe in.

I'm not sure if I have created a monster or not in the form of the @drink_o_tron cocktail generator...

Vanilla, scotch bonnet & sweet vermouth old fashioned, anyone?

Well, I had a tiny bit of spare time and inspiration, so the beverage industry can now benefit from @drink_o_tron, the ultimate drinkspiration source!

Time to go and raid the fridges at my local beer shop for beer style and ingredient inspiration!

Really looking forward to dinner at @VanderlyleR this evening - not had the chance to sample a spring menu there yet!

I very much doubt @justcookit will be serving any of my recipe ideas though - https://t.co/VhogQ998EV

[Andy Hawkes @andyhawkes]

@justcookit @VanderlyleR It worked out in the end, that's the important bit! 😉

[Andy Hawkes @andyhawkes]

Tables for May at @VanderlyleR went on sale at 12:00 today, and I couldn't get a table for 2 on any date by 12:05, so on to the waitlist I go!
We haven't had the chance to experience a Spring menu there yet, and I was hoping to take advantage of a week of work to score a table!

"this is in the realm of “just” as in “just do these things” where “just” is “a giant yawning chasm of implementation” and the actual job is neatly obscured using one word."

Great quote from @hondanhon

You know where else used to have this? Basingstoke. And Crewe. And Aberdeen. And Cardiff. And Liverpool. And Aldershot. And Newport. And Ayr. And Felixstowe. And Hull. And Plockton. And Doncaster. And Margate. And…

Today's favourite recipe idea from @chef_o_tron: Seared vegan cauliflower ice cream - https://t.co/0EYQeNeudl #chefotron

@tomfgoodwin Number of wild, nesting pairs of small purple dots?

[Andy Hawkes @andyhawkes]

It's that time of year again - why not get some absurd seasonal food ideas from @chef_o_tron, like a "Deep-fried dry-aged pheasant christmas cake" - https://t.co/Q2SslF4FIO #chefotron

I remember when Twitter was a nice place and Stephen Fry followed me, but now it's all "Elon this" and that orange shit-gibbon is back on here... I'm glad I stopped giving a shit about Twitter a long time ago!

[Andy Hawkes @andyhawkes]

Getting some serious Lost Boys vibes out the front of the house tonight.

The one thing I never could stand about Warboys? All the damned vampires... @ Warboys https://t.co/3ZOdN7v39q

[Andy Hawkes @andyhawkes]

P.S. I don't want a blue tick, and I'm not famous enough to get one anyway (even if @stephenfry does follow me, so technically I'm internet fabulous)

[Andy Hawkes @andyhawkes]

So, let me try to sum up the latest Elon Musk news: tech asshole does asshole thing (again) but somehow people don't realise he's an asshole despite his well established history of assholery?...
