@mandapen Oh that's going to go right up people's legs

@nedboulting Very much looking forward to this. I think the potential description of "Test Match Special, but for Cycling " is right in my zone....

@nedboulting Continuing this year's parcours of evil...

@Roexoxoxoxo @naomirwolf What is "how the fuck did they ever get a doctorate"...

[Ben Grabham 🌷 @BenGrabham]

@MinxMarple Oh darling, I'm so sorry. Not been on here for ages, so have missed whatever *this* is. Whatever it is, know that I am sending healing thoughts your way. Have some gilded Dali bread to cheer you?

@flyfour @tonyblackburn @Ofcom But isn't that exactly what Ofcom have said they can't do? As far as I know no plans to launch BBC Radio 2 Extra on DAB unless I've misinterpreted. But even if so, how is this different to Greatest Hits Radio launching GHR 60s/70s/80s etc recently? Surely if there's space let em

@WilliamJBarrett @MarinaPurkiss You could be both - Ireland is happy for you to have dual Irish / British citizenship

[Ben Grabham 🌷 @BenGrabham]

@WendyCa12241470 @MarinaPurkiss Actually to be fair to Wendy on this one, and having checked it, the answer is generally no - Italy being one of those rare countries that doesn't allow dual citizenship.

If, however, the child remains in Italy throughout its childhood until 18, then yes.

@S_Sykiotis @MarinaPurkiss Marinated is a superb word for it. Can I pinch that?

[Ben Grabham 🌷 @BenGrabham]

@silverpebble That's beautiful

@MycroftBrown @rebekkarnold Oh, and that's *before* the Blair government. Even the Tories under Major fed kids...

[Ben Grabham 🌷 @BenGrabham]

@MycroftBrown @rebekkarnold There literally were. It was called Family Allowance, it was non means tested, and was deliberately paid directly to the Mother. The threshold for free school meals was much easier. Schools did home economics and sent you home literally with food. So wind your neck in.

@Hutch_Online Born 1975, so grew up 80s and 90s, and although it was about a bit then it was a largely marginal thing (in spite of Thatcher getting elected 3 times). But this is a whole new level of whataboutery...I blame social media which has amplified these twunts.

@rbasq @jonsopel You can rely on that...

@MelissaRTodd Awesome!

@nee_massey It's an iconic film, why wouldn't you be chuffed to be in it!

@g_gosden It's a pity / lucky for him Defence Regulation 18B isn't still in force. Though the Treason Act 1351 still is...

[Ben Grabham 🌷 @BenGrabham]

@almurray Even worse on @virginmedia - the version of ITVX on there just constantly buffers or drops out. It's really frustrating when they've actually got a good line up of stuff I'd like to watch. You don't get this problem with @BBCiPlayer do you....so why not do a deal?

[Ben Grabham 🌷 @BenGrabham]

@ScouseLakes I mean, sell a flat in London and you can buy a decent house with a garden in Kent. Problem is, it's pushing all the locals out. I bet they were looking round Whitstable?
