@KateFantom So you're inferring that somehow men have a monopoly on stupidity?

[Julian Bates @bjornslippy]

@LloydBasson @AndyatAuto "Easily"? Agree with the first bit...

@g__j @PeterEastern Numbers don't stack up for using a battery like this, and I am speaking as an enthusiastic Octopus customer with a battery. So "costs do not plummet for them" - the payback period is 10+ years.

[Julian Bates @bjornslippy]

A solar system with a battery that stops working in Autumn? Really? When will your systems be consumer ready ? @GivEnergy

[Julian Bates @bjornslippy]

@Otto_English OMG, I thought this was satire....

[Julian Bates @bjornslippy]

@DaleVince The "spring tides" comment is also truly astonishing - yes they really do happen twice a (lunar) month, regardless of season, something which anyone who has a passing knowledge of flooding would know.

@guywalters (but I do see where you are going on this)

[Julian Bates @bjornslippy]

@guywalters Personally, because it would be parochial to even mention it in the context of thousands of innocents being killed.

[Julian Bates @bjornslippy]

@theJeremyVine Interesting. There were no give-way road markings on the side road so who was at fault?

[Julian Bates @bjornslippy]

@JamesNonchalant You realise that a still photo doesn't prove anything wrong occurred? Were they behind the white line when the light changed?

[Julian Bates @bjornslippy]

@robcook118 Bad road design doesn't help as the cycle lane mysteriously ends at the junction which is obvious to those at the junction but not those a distance away (like you). I cycle defensively as I would have wondered why the truck had stopped and slowed down a lot more.

Jacob Rees-Mogg on @BBCr4today

“You suggest something is causal which is a speculation. What has caused the effect in pension funds…is not necessarily the mini Budget”

“I think jumping to conclusions about causality is not meeting the BBC requirement for impartiality.”

@RealTimVine @Apple Gosh! Quite a lot of people on here replying who clearly aren't computer experts... try doing a hard restart (google how to do that on your particular model) and then look again - it will possibly take some time to plow through everything

[Julian Bates @bjornslippy]

@ProfTimBale @FT @jburnmurdoch Eh? Is this suggesting that no Brexit voters have right wing economic views? Also missing Scotland...

[Julian Bates @bjornslippy]

@Doctor_Hutch Get well soon Michael

[Julian Bates @bjornslippy]

@Xelabus check your history ? We've asked you three times now...

[Julian Bates @bjornslippy]

@Xelabus and...? If our kids can't rely on the bus turning up it's not an option for them getting home from school...

[Julian Bates @bjornslippy]

@Xelabus x10 which was supposed to stop at chapel drove at around 15.41 going towards southampton on Tuesday

[Julian Bates @bjornslippy]

@Xelabus any update on this? Kids are trying to catch this bus again this afternoon...
