@oldenoughtosay The maddest thing is that they have TWO bars - one that’s never open and one that can fit approx 2 people before The Queue clogs up the room. You’d think such a popular pub could afford to hire enough people to open both sides properly 🤨

@HeatherAMillard @oldenoughtosay I’m from Mirfield and reached around 21 before my mum very patiently explained that I’d been saying it wrong the ENTIRE TIME

Dan Wootton vowing to make an “independent channel” free from “Ofcommunist censors” after departing GB News, which was founded on the same principles, makes you wonder… what opinions does he have that have so far been “too regulated” to express?

@oldenoughtosay Sensitivity warning for pictures if you google it but lithopedions (very rarely) happen when an extra-uterine pregnancy fails and the foetus calcifies - people have been known to live for years without knowing they have one! The body is a weird and scary place…

@BBCNews I’m trying to unsubscribe from your daily News emails and it isn’t working! Do you know who I can contact about this? I’ve tried for a couple of weeks now but they keep coming 😅

@Stagecoach_Ox the 7.00am from Kingsmere didn’t turn up so now 2 buses worth of people are on the 7.15… the bus was so full by the time we reached the park & ride, we had to leave a queue of people behind. This is how unreliable this service has become & it needs investigation.

[Claire @gooutandexplore]

Hey @Stagecoach_Ox any service updates for the 7am S5 through Kingsmere that hasn’t shown up? Your app and your website can’t seem to tell me anything

[Claire @gooutandexplore]

@Stagecoach_Ox No sign of the 7am from Kingsmere to Oxford again this morning but no info on app… yet more evidence of how unreliable these buses are

[Claire @gooutandexplore]

@Stagecoach_Ox re above: the 15.20 S5 from Oxford also hasn’t shown - am I going to get any info on this??

[Claire @gooutandexplore]

@Stagecoach_Ox Thanks M, but I meant the one from Oxford at 15.25 (not 15.20, sorry), not Kingsmere. Thankfully has turned up now, but the S5 buses are consistently late or unreliable these days and it’s incredibly frustrating. Please can you raise this?

@JayHulmePoet I also got taken by my host to “second dessert”, which was an even smaller group in a private room in the SCR. They genuinely enforced passing drinks only to the left (a myth, surely!?), so I had to watch a bottle pass all the way around the table until it reached me. Mortifying.

[Claire @gooutandexplore]

@JayHulmePoet I got invited to one at ChCh and it was the most bizarre experience of my life. When our food arrived, we had to all stare at our plates until the “presiders” to finished chatting between themselves and started eating first. No loo breaks and no fun unless the presiders say so 😖

[Claire @gooutandexplore]

@joshcarlosjosh Hey, if she doesn’t want to come along too, was she even worth dating?

[Claire @gooutandexplore]

@Stagecoach_Ox I’m so sick of the S5 being late and unreliable - no info about diversions around 7-week Kings End roadworks, inaccurate/absent live info at bus stops, and buses constantly late without information. Why is this happening? Commuters really deserve better than this

I wonder what the Venn diagram of “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is my favourite Roald Dahl adaptation” and “I think making Roald Dahl’s stories less offensive is censorship” looks like 🧐🧐🧐
