@Thamesheadchoir Hey, I want to ask who the artist for your Christmas flyer is? I'd love to see more of their angels. I can't see an email address due to how it's protected on your website.

@GlosRoads Hi. Where can we find information on the extent of investigation into the subsurface void, is there information about how far up/down Rodborough Hill is affected, beyond the void stumbled upon outside the school?

@shockproofbeats Do we have to wait until next weekend to find out how your in-laws got on, or can you share here, please?! And I hope a child-free wedding was fun no matter the sleep situation back home!

@franzjaeger_ber @echrell @FrankRGardner I was looking for this explanation to fill the gap in my knowledge, thanks for providing it, FJK.

Thanks for repeatedly raising awareness about these demeaning situations, Frank, keep on keeping on.

@restoredomore Hi Restore,

Your customer has signed up with my email address. I can't use your contact form as I live in the UK and don't have a US number to give the form. Your client is going without their enrollment forms so prob important we resolve this.
Kindly DM me.

@leighvenus @IMAX @NASAWebb Just some information about whether it's coming or not would be appreciated!

For clarity though: this tweet is another vote for a UK distribution of Deep Sky.

@joelgolby Thank you for your Guardian review of Mr & Mrs Smith, that was a fun read and now I'm looking forward to it.

1. Post links of your work so I can stay on topic
2. Update the link in your bio to Amazon as it doesn't work (for me)

Ta muchly 😉😄🙏

@MarkDampier Hey Mark, I feel like you probably have access to that answer given that you have @HLInvest as your weblink and profess a love of investing, no?

Surely the firms out there putting turbines offshore think they're good value?

I used the @UKSustain webform
https://t.co/uP9pzOaEiO to email my MP @Siobhan_Baillie about @Riverford 's #GetFairAboutFarming campaign. Now you do it!

Riverford's parliamentary petition reached over 100k signatures & now we need our MPs to know we want them there & acting

[Sarah Bell @Sarahbellagri]

Beautifully observed, beautifully written and absolutely on the nail. Difficult conversations approached with tenderness.

@BellaBathurst has an incredible talent at articulating and catching the raw emotion of these meetings

[Ben Carter @bencarterco]

@SustainableTall I try not to read DM pages... Is she held up as a member of the woke elite telling us how to live, or is there engagement with her point and discussion of the pros and cons? 🤞

After 6 months of fieldwork in Bougainville🇵🇬, I'm ready to embark on leg 1 of my #NoFly journey to Germany. Travelling by🚢,🚅,&🚌over 27,000km, I'll emit ~535kg of CO2, 10 times less than✈️. This decision cost me my job, but I still think it was the right thing to do. 1/🧵

"Efforts have focused on turning children from working-class backgrounds into middle-class clones [...] rather than asking whether the system itself might be changed to make it welcoming to those from all backgrounds. We need a rethink[...]."

A reminder. May 2021: “Development of new #oil and #gas must stop this year and no new coal power stations can be built if the world is to meet the goal of net zero emissions by 2050, said the @IEA. It undertook the report at the request of the UK govt.

@GeorgeMonbiot Thanks for your efforts as always George. Thanks for entering the fray, having the debates, sharing the news and keeping on 🙏

Interestingly, the same criticisms of the #fourdayweek were the same when it was proposed to go to a five day working week at the start of the 20th century - Dr Pedro Gomes @bbk_orgpsych #psychology #worklife

@velann15 @SustainableTall Yes, sarcasm here as it was definitely a terrible idea.

I notice even native English speakers struggle with spotting sarcasm in text, and as a general indicator, a "!", "?!" or "..." is a good indicator that sarcasm might have occurred. Good luck.
