Thanks @British_Airways & crew of BA0213 to #Boston. Sneaky peek up front to kick off my 40th celebrations.

@greateranglia Thanks Russ. Appreciate the update. Taxi it is for me!

From the days when emigration affected nearly every Irish home, and when Christmas conversations in pubs began, “And when are ye going back?” #christmas

[National Rejoin March @MarchForRejoin]

A must watch, @Femi_Sorry nails every point, and I swear even @IainDale was convinced by the end.

#RejoinEU is WHEN not IF.

@greateranglia Georgie. People getting quite upset. Are busses actually planned to go from Cambridge north or Cambridge station where we. Ans from?

[Brian Murphy @bnmurphy05]

@greateranglia at Cambridge north waiting for replacement bus services to Stansted as promised but none here. Can you help?

[Brian Murphy @bnmurphy05]

@greateranglia At Cambridge station we were told to go to Cambridge north and a bus would be here. But no sign. Can you find out when they will arrive? A large group of people here and many late for flights. Thanks.

In pre-Christian Ireland, 1 November was known as ‘Samhain’ (summer's end). [1/3]

[HistoryExtra @HistoryExtra]

In the 19th century the anthropologist Sir James Frazer popularised the idea of Samhain as an ancient Celtic festival of the dead, when pagan religious ceremonies were held. [3/3]

Ireland booms while #Brexit Britain whimpers next door

While @JoeBiden visits Ireland, Brexiteers said their closest EU neighbour would be “doomed” – now it’s set to be the top-performing economy in Europe this year.

Quite the Punch circa 1870s vibe here (and of course Biden is teetotal).
I wonder if a U.S. President, say, Belgium and looked up some distant relatives would the English care so much?
