@Cash4Questions @ResProfNews Thank you Adam. I don't think we should be too hard on ourselves if some of the new ideas get thrown out. Perhaps some of them turn out to be not be such a good idea, rather than being too difficult to implement.

@ResFortnight That's it! That's the wooden puzzle my brother bought me! The one where having 3 hands would really help. And like REF draft guidance, I've often felt like throwing it across the room in a hissy fit!

Happy #Caturday

@VictorianMasc Pretty sure I've seen a house like that somewhere before...

[Anna Grey @AnnaMGrey]

@DanKing_DK Yes, stuff I'd normally find out about first on here just aren't coming up at all. Becoming irrelevant is going to make this place the MySpace of the 2020s

[Anna Grey @AnnaMGrey]

I understand why people are stopping using this site. But a real problem is that it's becoming obsolete. The pushing of verified accounts, failure to deal with bots/fake news etc means it's just not as useful as it was. ☹️

[Anna Grey @AnnaMGrey]

@NinjaWorrier It's sad that those opportunities to meet people around events and shared interests are diminishing and it's mostly people spouting opinions.

Another fabulous day on @dundeeuni campus!

[Anna Grey @AnnaMGrey]

Today is the Dundee Kiltwalk, which explains why there are a lot of people going past my flat on the Fife coastal wearing kilts.

[Anna Grey @AnnaMGrey]

@Charlesknight Ah the fabulous Burscough Bridge lottery of trying to travel on a Sunday on Northern Rail. I sometimes thought it would probably be quicker to get a lift on a canal boat to Wigan.

Struggling to identify this moth visitor to our house ... no yellow, so not a magpie moth; too much black for a white ermine ...

Any suggestions?

[John Brindle @johnbrindletel]

Just reaching out for advice from colleagues who have designed/delivered fully online Latin Legum Magister (LLM)/Master of Laws degrees from the UK - if you’d be willing to chat dm me ☺️

Next time you're in Berlin, why not swing.... on the highest swing in Europe!

Thrill-seekers can now soar 120m above the capital's famous Alexanderplatz and get a unique view of the Berlin skyline from a swing situated on the roof of a hotel.

@DrDominicDean I know! At the very least I'd want them to send round some random mini cakes and some posh tea bags. It's even worse than a zoom call as half the time you can't even see the other delegated and interact with them. 😡

[Anna Grey @AnnaMGrey]

And not for the first time have I looked at the price of a virtual conference, spat my tea out and gone 'How much!!!'.

[Matthew Sweet @DrMatthewSweet]

What a grim day. Been driven to this. Not bad really. Think of a Caramac bar marinated in petrol

[Anna Grey @AnnaMGrey]

@ChrisRenwick Indeed.

[Anna Grey @AnnaMGrey]

One of the loveliest people I ever knew, Philip, had spent time living in Italy. He was always horrified when I ordered a latte after 11am, but it was a mark of his loveliness that he would always insist on buying it for me.

[Chris Renwick @ChrisRenwick]

It’s a rule to live by

[Anna Grey @AnnaMGrey]

@NinjaWorrier Sorry. Am I forgiven?

[Anna Grey @AnnaMGrey]

Worryingly reminiscent of me and my perm in the 80s.

Alpaca without its wool

@NinjaWorrier The agreement to never, ever share pics of us from the 80s without express permission still stands, doesn't it? It wasn't a decade for great fashion choices was it? (Though I did love my rara skirt and blue suede pixie boots)
