@Ellie200_ @Matt_A_Shea What the hell is a reversed table?!

[Mandy Smith @bride_of_wire]

@Matt_A_Shea @owenjonesjourno Absolutely superb investigative journalism, a tremendous piece of work. This is why it’s so important to have human teams investigating public figures that should be held to account - congratulations to all involved!

@_AlaNala_ @1878Anonymous @PeterStefanovi2 @andyburnham @RestoreBritain *wild applause* it utterly baffles me that people can’t see that they’re being manipulated by a group that don’t have their best interests at heart.

@denhaagtrader @antmiddleton Why can bigots never spell?

[Mandy Smith @bride_of_wire]

Just read a wiki page for Sally Wainwright and discovered, retrospectively, that she’s written loads of stuff that I’ve really enjoyed. Mint you, @spiceyw, it’s only because the mighty, 7kg Murphy is sadly no more that you have the largest Maine Coon..

@1StevieKilner @RevRichardColes Not so little! It looks beautiful, thanks for sharing. *adds to must visit list*

@SP1nightonly @Markgatiss re; Bretton Hall. I remember going to Bretton Hall in 1985/6, as a schoolgirl, to see a production of Macbeth. Any chance I caught an early performance of yours?

[Mandy Smith @bride_of_wire]

@adewale @HBO Adebisi was a marvellous character - a stand out in an ensemble of stand out characters! The writing, the performances, the sheer scope of humanity - there’s been nothing to top it since.

@YoungMasterPaul Stunned and utterly baffled in the UK.

@gdavies @BBCiPlayer Still howling at the owl/neck wring! The actions made it.

[Mandy Smith @bride_of_wire]

@gdavies “It’s a bloody owl, mate - I’ll be there all day” combined with the hand actions… a genuine 😂. Still sniggering 2 hours later. Recommending it to everybody!

@EvieKingWrites Best surname ever.

@barbiemacca42 @duranduran That it was a bit of each, which made my heart sing.

[Mandy Smith @bride_of_wire]

@barbiemacca42 @duranduran 2/3 I got to ask him about it and hoped that he’d never used the word because he’d never felt it deeply, but after he’d married Yasmin there came the Big Thing album with the word all over it. That, or he’d never used the word because it was trite and overused. He replied

[Mandy Smith @bride_of_wire]

@barbiemacca42 @duranduran 1/2True enough. If you look at their songs from that standpoint you’ll see a large number of them are on the same subject. It bugged me for years that @Cecil_LeBon’s father had written 3 albums worth of songs, not to mention B-sides without using the word ‘love’. I got to asking

[Mandy Smith @bride_of_wire]

@barbiemacca42 @duranduran You know that song is about a series of one night stands, right?

[Mandy Smith @bride_of_wire]

@duranduran Of Crime & Passion, would have brought a rockier edge to the band and they’d be enjoying Andy Taylor for longer (though I appreciate with him and Nick it was a personality clash - and The Power Station might have been the final nail in the coffin).

[Mandy Smith @bride_of_wire]

@RevRichardColes It also seems like carrots are too bendy - had one yesterday that bent double and didn’t snap! Oh, and potatoes are positively wrinkly.

[Mandy Smith @bride_of_wire]

@alibhawkins Panic - sheer panic mixed with a little #amibeingshilled ? Followed by #howmucharetheveg.

[Mandy Smith @bride_of_wire]

@RevRichardColes Imma gonna be on tenterhooks until publication day!!
