@XtianMalford @krishgm @bishopoffulham @PrivateEyeNews I was in that choir. There was no sign that he was “tired” or “emotional”, just extremely unreasonable. He cut the lights in the final number, at 10.07, when he had let the church until 11pm. We had sung there at least three times before (perhaps more) on the same terms.

@docrussjackson @X Huh? What did "online" and "anonymous account" mean in 1969, before the internet was invented?

@gpjanik @MichaelAArouet The OP was about US vs EU, not UK vs EU, and provided a chart showing divergence between the US and EU.

The addition of Hungary, Romania, Poland and Bulgaria are all large economies that joined in 2004-07. But yes it's only a hypothesis.

@MichaelAArouet We can also see that lighter-touch UK is less productive then "socialist, over-regulated" France.

[Colman Stephenson @cstephenson]

@MichaelAArouet The EU expanded to include less productive eastern bloc countries.

The productivity of Germany and France has not diverged from the US in the same way, so its not down to welfare states, over regulation or demographics.

@MichaelAArouet that said, the US *is* more productive.

Benidorm the greatest example of immigrants refusing to learn the language, adopt the culture or integrate into society.

Talk about no good deed going unpunished. I hold no torch for SF, but Republicans have been generous in their remembrance of the First World War dead not least because many of their own relatives died in it.
Your intemperate tweet also suggests that Unionists have some kind of monopoly on remembrance. You have no such thing.
The majority of Irish men who died in WW1 were from an Irish nationalist background, more than 33,000 from the South.
Stop with this tribal nonsense. You have no monopoly on remembrance.

@myDublinbus @dublinbusnews Do we have a date for that photo. I could well be on that bus!

#OTD 1908 Hanna Sheehy-Skeffington, Gretta Cousins et al founded the Irish Women's Franchise League, an independent, non-aligned, militant group. By 1912 the IWFL claimed membership of over 1,000, making it the largest suffrage group in Ireland. https://t.co/35UHijY1YG #DIBLives

@anon_opin Cue: Mac vs PC argument from 1998

[Colman Stephenson @cstephenson]

@anon_opin Can't you define this yourself on a PC?
You can on a Mac.

@Keir_Starmer @KemiBadenoch I'm with you Keir. Keeping the tone civilised is the thing to do. It won't be long before the other side lowers it.

@markovenden Our first-born's delivery cost $5,000 because in the in-network obstetrician went off shift at 6pm and was replaced by an out-of-network doctor. Beautiful baby girl arrived at 6.15pm. Less beautiful invoice arrived the following week.

Lots of over-the-top coverage right now about the £1m cap on inheritance tax agricultural property relief (APR).
