@TfL Just wondering where the road works are that are affecting the 39 bus. I didn’t see anything on Putney High Street and plenty of other buses are going through the same route as the 39 and are not affected …

@NHM_London I'm trying to book tickets for the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition but the website seems to be down for booking at the moment. Do you know when it will be working again or do I need to phone you?

[James Beard @flayvin]

@TfL Any updates on this? It makes it very difficult planning a journey as it could be a 2 minute or a 20 minute wait for the next #39 but yheres currently no way of knowing if they’re running at all …

[James Beard @flayvin]

@TfL Do you know why the information for number 39 buses headed to Clapham Junction is no longer displayed? It is for ones going to Richmond. Thanks

[James Beard @flayvin]

@TfL Thanks for the info, but there was no mention of this disruption in the live tube updates online or in live screens in other stations. How could I have known in advance?

[James Beard @flayvin]

@TfL do you know why Vauxhall Tube Station is shut?

@brianeno Hey Brian it says the 'Eno' movie soundtrack is released today 19th April, but it doesn't actually seem to be in stock anywhere until 12th July - has the release date been pushed back? Thanks :)

@lucyproctor @ggatehouse Nice one!

[James Beard @flayvin]

@ScoreSettlers I really enjoyed your Oscars deep dive in the latest episode; but when I heard your less than enthusiastic take on the score for 'All Quiet' I knew they were gonna give it the prize! Oh well ...

@OllyHatch @sainsburys Presumably being double the price for less product the Nestle ones are more lucrative. I am continually frustrated by finding that Malties are literally the only item that’s empty on the cereal shelves at my local Sainsburys in Southfields, and not even stocked at all in Putney

[James Beard @flayvin]

@NewStatesman @willydunn @BBCMoreOrLess This looks a fair candidate for an MoL debunk …

[James Beard @flayvin]

@TfL I use the District Line from Southfields every day - I’m very keen to understand why the destination board info for the Eastbound trains is almost always incorrect. It makes daily journeys very frustrating …

[James Beard @flayvin]

@Doubting_Ben Yes I agree with what David Lloyd says in his article wholeheartedly. I could talk passionately on the subject endlessly after 20 years experience of trying to improve the edits handed down to me by producers!

[James Beard @flayvin]

@cwarnermusic @BBCMoreOrLess Good to hear you're a listener Chris :) I chose this track as it seemed to fit nicely, and I liked the Interstellar-esque vibe with the great use of church organ in the arrangement! We revisit the stars story again in this week's show so I've given your track another airing ...

@lucyproctor @ggatehouse Noice!

[James Beard @flayvin]

@Grayboy91 @eurosport It’s the ref. Same noise on BBC coverage.

[James Beard @flayvin]

@digby1107 @eurosport Yes. Hugely distracting. It’s on BBC too. I think they must have the referee’s mic up constantly and it’s his breathing …

@Rachelle_Hulme Funnily enough I thought the one about the number of pets was the hardest to work out!

[James Beard @flayvin]

@Rachelle_Hulme Well done :) I actually thought the 1% question was easier than some of the earlier ones! Having said that, I’m sure being under pressure with all the lights/cameras/audience etc makes it harder to think clearly compared to being at home on the sofa!
