@SkyHelpTeam Day three with no WiFi. Any help available Sky?

@SkyHelpTeam Christmas Day with no WiFi. Boxing Day with no WiFi. Groan. Engineer visit scheduled, but ages away. It used to be so reliable. Sigh.

@ProfBrianCox Is that an African or European squirrel? #holygrail

Loved the #eddiekidd feature on #topgear tonight. Fantastic.

[Barry Hodgson @barryghodgson]

Both delighted and embarrassed that I got the “key” question in #onlyconnect this evening. Now after explaining it, I have the relevant tune stuck in my head. Wait, it has now been erased by “Rio”.

A wander around #York. https://t.co/XFZYkdFpc4

Motorcycles and push-bikes exercised, now time for a bit of this. My Dad’s old-school deck chair brought out of the depths. Comfier than it looks. https://t.co/ZMwRAwkp6p

You know, I don’t think he’s playing that trombone. #Eurovision

A smidge of normality. Open air, distanced and good. #Masham https://t.co/qgCqxiG1rY

@JenBartram Ah, and there I was, expecting a technical meteorological description of that cloud formation. I like your summary though. I thought it looked a bit like Beaker from the muppets, a hammerhead shark, or maybe a muppet hammerhead shark.

@JenBartram This caught my eye this evening whilst out walking the dog. I felt compelled to snap and share.

[Barry Hodgson @barryghodgson]

@Nike just arrived. Custom. Superb.

#lightning. Q: Which biblical figure was given a coat of many colours? A: Jason. Er, no, but I see what you did there.

[Barry Hodgson @barryghodgson]

I’m staying in. Definitely tonight, and perhaps for the whole of 2021. #newyear

The Star Trek question on #onlyconnect last night was the highlight of my evening (groan). I got it with the 2nd clue, and then followed up with the obligatory “Khaaaaaaan!”, for those who know. Also, UK or US pronunciation of wrath? I heard a polite correction.

[Barry Hodgson @barryghodgson]

@JenBartram Thanks for the recommendation. We had great fun with it today. Merry Christmas.

[Barry Hodgson @barryghodgson]

@GemmHirst @JenBartram I’d recommend it. We had great fun with it today.

[Barry Hodgson @barryghodgson]

Oh yeah, that’s right. #penguinperil https://t.co/70t51pMB9d

@VictoriaCoren I don’t like double entendre, although I do slip one in now and again.
