@davidyelland @campbellclaret Just checking, this is former chair of the Oxford University Conservative Association Nick Robinson that we’re calling a rabid lefty?

In NY on business on my own during the 2004 ALCS. Watched the ‘greatest comeback’ in my hotel room, and I’ve been a Red Sox fan ever since. Watching from London these days #basescoveredlive

@SoVeryBritish Did anyone ever actually use “plonker” before Only Fools and Horses?

@richardosman Just finished #wesolvemurders, I’m convinced the weeping lady who rebuffed Max was Elizabeth. Am I wrong?

@devicesadesires @WalkerMarcus And “potential” s/he would stay

@devicesadesires @OSacrumCorIesu Am I missing something Andrew? What do you think we SSMs get paid?

Hi @tfl, what have you done to Kew Bridge? For the past month the southern approach through Kew has been gridlocked, with residential streets blocked by rat runners. Have you changed the signal timings at the northern end? If so please change them back.

@RevRichardColes @amwilson_opera Wouldn’t ‘Great St Mary’s’ sound better though?

@thevicarswife “We do, ergo everyone does” This article https://t.co/Vb5DUqGJg3 suggests that there’s church life beyond the liturgy-free evangelical wing of the CofE

@BishopRobW That’s not something you hear every day

@AngelaTilby The original stories are set in London, and Fr B is definitely RC. But the Beeb decided - probably with the export market in mind - to move them to the scenic Cotswolds and give him an old parish church. The first few TV episodes do use GKC plots.

@charliebelllive It won’t be Bradwell Area’s £45k “Programme Manager”: ad in this week’s CT, 3x length of incumbent ads, doesn’t mention God, faith or even people at all, I’ve read it three times and still don’t know what the role is for or what the person will do all day.

@devicesadesires I think people worry that to say “I’ll come unless I get a better offer / don’t feel like it on the day” would seem impolite

@giles_fraser I remember a wise priest in Jerusalem saying that countries know they’ve joined the rich world once they can outsource care of the most vulnerable to low paid immigrants

Hey @bbcweather , what’s with the daily summaries in the app? Chiswick: Sat summary, sunny, max 4; hourly no hour shows sunny, sleet 1600 on; Sun summary, sleet, max 3; hourly never below 7, max 11. Which am I supposed to believe?

Hey @Google, we just passed the 8th day of the year when the Google Calendar icon on my iPhone screen is useful. The other 357 I use someone else’s app to show me the date, which is a pain as yours is the calendar I use. Is it really beyond you to make it show the current date?

[Andy Rooney @andyrooneyUK]

@Rgt71Robert @churchofengland Well said Robert. The cult of leadership has done and continues to do great harm to the Church and its mission.

@hogarth_the Traffic warning: Fraser Street is closed at Devonshire Street due to water works.

@stephenlondoner @JaneThackel @RevRichardColes Is pedantically correct to say there’s no inheritance tax (paid by beneficiaries) but there is a federal estate tax paid on the estate before distribution

@prodnose I guess you didn’t see An American Werewolf in London
