Following the behaviour of Musk towards his employees, journalists, and generally everyone, I have moved to mastodon - link in bio. This account is now inactive

@DrJACameron My Grandfather was the vicar there! And my grandparents are buried there. Sorry to hear the door was locked, it's a lovely spot

@HickeyWriter Enjoy! Picked mine up from HMV yesterday. It's a nice package but not a lot of new music or mixes for the price if you already own the Mono box set from a few years ago

Really enjoyed the show guys. And yes I bought a poster!

[Mike *McGear McCartney @_MikeMcCartney_]

Scaffold sign posters for Clatterbridge Hospital & Claire House charities in the interval of our Everyman Theatre matinee 2day!👍🏼

The headlines today will likely be dominated by the woeful state of the economy, but look past those headlines and the NHS is in a critical condition.

We need to put pressure on our politicians to address these issues.

Here are the stats to arm yourself with

And this morning the Drax freight train has broken down between Hebden Bridge and Mytholmroyd causing chaos in both directions

[Frances Ryan @DrFrancesRyan]

For most people, power cuts will be an inconvenience. But for some disabled adults and children, it can be life and death. People who use life-sustaining equipment at home, such as ventilators and dialysis, need reassurance from the government now. https://t.co/KLAORYbDCH

@cookingthecut Great to hear - hope you get to exchange soon and it isn't too much work to sort out the remaining stuff

[Chris Sawer @cjsawer]

@_MikeMcCartney_ Tickets booked and looking forward to it!

[Chris Sawer @cjsawer]

The diesel freight trains carrying wood for Drax trundle past my house several times a day. I've long considered its green credentials rather dubious and will be interested to watch this

[BBC Panorama @BBCPanorama]

Drax runs Britain's biggest power station, which burns millions of tonnes of imported wood pellets

It’s classed as renewable energy, but #BBCPanorama has investigated whether the wood really comes from sustainable sources

On @BBCOne at 8pm

People of Bradford (and beyond)!

Very sad to read this. She was in fine voice when I saw the Seekers a few years ago in Birmingham on their 50th Anniversary tour

@Healthyhappy50 @CanalRiverTrust @bluefinsups @palmequipment @CRTYorkshireNE @ThisGirlCanUK @CRTBoating That's a lovely stretch but I met a very aggressive swan when kayaking from Foulridge to the double arch bridge a few years ago!

[Chris Sawer @cjsawer]

Trains overcrowded and at the point of leaving people behind on the Calder Valley line this morning. Not impressed @northernassist - why are you running such short trains? Next time I will probably drive

[Kit Yates @Kit_Yates_Maths]

There are things we can do to reduce covid transmission that aren't "restrictions"

Ventilating indoor spaces better is not a restriction

Nor is providing the population with tests so they know when they are infected

Nor is providing people with support to isolate when infected

[Philip Haigh @philatrail]

DfT has axed another part of HS2, this time the Golborne Link between HS2 and the West Coast Main Line. It says it will look at alternatives. This might mean a longer link to a point on the WCML further north. But it must be done within IRP £96bn funding. https://t.co/k0ZGjPMnp4

Still doesn't appear to be fixed 6 hours later - pretty embarrassing for a company as big as Spotify to be caught out by a schoolboy error like a certificate expiring

[Podnews podcasting news @Podnews]

@seanbamforth Impressive! Is that in Halifax? Looking forward to it getting to my end of the valley

[Chris Sawer @cjsawer]

@CherryRedGroup Looks good - enjoyed seeing them in Liverpool in 1999/2000 or so. May be of interest to @HickeyWriter too?
