@AndyDoggerBank You’d think so but it’s an incredibly common name, a simple error to make

@crystalski my family are trying to change our January ski trip to March, yet you are quoting us £125 more pp than is quoted on your website, for the exact same trip - why is this?

[Dave Somerville @djpsomers]

On Friday I managed to pass my PhD viva - a decade of University studies comes to an end! Big thanks to Bill McCaffrey and Colin North for examining, and my supervisors and colleagues at @IAGLeeds for generally being awesome.

So that’s the Chief Scientific Adviser joining the Chief Medical Officer and his two deputies in casting doubt on whether Tier 3 will work.

And yet I’m the one putting health at risk?

[Dave Somerville @djpsomers]

@sgozzard Thanks for the tip - I'll have a look through this.

[Dave Somerville @djpsomers]

Hi Geotwitter - I'm on the hunt for interpreted seismic sections containing alluvial fans from continental rifts with limited well constraint. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

[Dave Somerville @djpsomers]

@SOT6FCGeology Thanks - had a brief look yesterday to no avail, but planning a major trawl through the available sections this weekend!

[Dave Somerville @djpsomers]

Examples with a facies/environment interpretation overlay, or palaeoenv. models derived from seismic interp, are of particular interest - recent paper from @Bonita_strat a great example. https://t.co/1BGQ6SJjSF

@MicrosoftHelps Hi - an old email account of mine has been hacked and used to access and hack my Facebook account. I am unable to provide sufficient information for the account recovery form to work as I haven't used the email for 9+ yrs- any help you can provide?

This is your Health Secretary claiming he’s changing the law to allow nurses and pharmacists to administer flu jabs

But the truth is both roles have been doing exactly that for years and years

Please RT if you think he should’ve known that already

[Dave Somerville @djpsomers]

@JoshWatertonB Thank god the beers hit me about 30 mins in because that was just terrible commentary

@Mick_Shot @Moha_G @timrifts @_GeoDa_ @HaLeoKinetic @timwright_leeds @RocksStanca @Dan_Bell92 @SJOldfield @emm_pearce I pledge to continue to oppose racism and hate, including systemic racism, in science. I will continue to work on this every day. Join me by nominating 5 others to do the same. #ShutDownSTEM @BuehrigLaura @ddcashmore @mitten_geo @rosspettigrew @Dr_JCRichardson

Given that Mary was supposed to be self-isolating at the time the child was taken to hospital, why did she go with him, instead of the niece whom you’ve moved next to specifically for this very purpose?

[Dave Somerville @djpsomers]

@AndyDoggerBank Good luck tomorrow - you know what to do if they start dissin’ your fly Bank.

[Katherine Somerville @KatySom18]

Just finished day 5/11, time for dinner, sleep, then back to the hospital. #iminworkjeremy
