Needed to update my bio from a 1996 movie quote. This was the best I could come up with.

@LegoWith Acceptable suggestion - if Knuckles is indisposed for a day, @GeorgieGibbon is to take over that day's build. I think we can call this an adjudication.

[Graham Triggs @grahamtriggs]

It's only 14 months too late. Supporting people who should isolate (to reduce spread) and people who should shield (to reduce harm) should have been the top priorities from day 1.

Whilst we're talking about sanction for Belarus, let's not overlook possible Russian collusion in the targeting of this plane.

[Sir William Browder KCMG @Billbrowder]

Ryanair’s statement fails to mention that 6 people didn’t continue on to Vilnius: Roman Protasevich, the Belarusian opposition journalist and his girlfriend who were detained, and four mysterious Russians who decided to end their trip on Minsk.

[Graham Triggs @grahamtriggs]

@tanjamaier17 @RyanairPress If Belarus wants to force the plane down, they'll force the plane down.

With the plane on the ground, they'll arrest who they want, or they'll arrest everyone on the plane.

What on earth do you think Ryanair can do about it?

[Graham Triggs @grahamtriggs]

@KeithOlbermann RyanAir is a shit airline, and I wouldn't mind seeing them going bankrupt. But they aren't the bad guys here - they're just doing what they have to. This is all on Belarus.

[Graham Triggs @grahamtriggs]

@karunchandhok Yes - I desperately need to see some overtaking after today!!

[Graham Triggs @grahamtriggs]

@CroftyF1 Monaco is never a classic. This needs to be done differently - have Monaco specific cars, a spec series even. Wouldn't be a bad thing for the championship to have points scored in one or two spec races, along with 20+ of the full manufacturer cars.

@unloveablesteve Eurovision isn't for everyone. That's fine. But 8m people enjoy it, and it's one night. What the fuck is wrong with some people that they have to shit on other's joy?

[Graham Triggs @grahamtriggs]

@Trouble1371 @DollyDeluxe @TheVickyMD @jonwillchambers "Same countries winning". In the last 15 years, only Sweden has won it twice. Go back to 2000, and you add Ukraine and Denmark. Yes, bloc voting has elevated some, but it hasn't had that much effect on who wins. And it's not like the 90s, when Ireland won 4 out of 5 contests.

[Graham Triggs @grahamtriggs]

Thank god that's over. Something has got to be done about #MonacoGP - unless there are accidents, it's always such a turgid race to watch.

[Graham Triggs @grahamtriggs]

@EmmaKennedy @3JabMonkey At least 50K died *because* we took action, not because we didn't. We're all so indoctrinated in "lockdown saves lives", that we're still not prepared to accept that doing it wrong - not having support for isolators and shielders to keep out of supermarkets - costs more lives.

[Graham Triggs @grahamtriggs]

@karunchandhok That @CroftyF1 was being very naughty with the drawn out "we've got some radio and hopefully he's telling them everything is fine" introduction.

[Graham Triggs @grahamtriggs]

He should write a sequel called "Embers". https://t.co/eCPp48RU3k

[Harrogate Festivals @HarrogateFest]

A prequel has never felt so good! One of the greats of British crime fiction, it’s always a pleasure to read @MarkBillingham's books.

If you read it, & loved it, vote for #CryBaby to make the shortlist of the #TheakstonAward here: https://t.co/yE5f23wQg6

@MitchBenn I think you are falling into the same trap as the BBC - trying to check boxes of what will get a result.

The BBC have people with (some) taste in the radio channels. They run Introducing/"Sound of" to find future stars. That's what we should be sending - future stars.

[Graham Triggs @grahamtriggs]

@Buddawisdom @CroftyF1 @SkySportsF1 If you wanted to deliberately wreck everyone else's laps, you would lock up at Turn 1 and bring out the yellow flags.

You don't slam the car into a barrier risking a gearbox change and grid penalty.

[Graham Triggs @grahamtriggs]

@Kalinho09 @shanepoth @CroftyF1 @SkySportsF1 Yes. If you wanted to intentionally scupper everyone else, you would lock up and go off at Turn 1 to bring out the yellows.

You wouldn't slam the car into a barrier and risk a grid penalty due to parts changes.

[Graham Triggs @grahamtriggs]

@CroftyF1 @SkySportsF1 Leclerc was a bit reckless in the last race here, the home race just fires him up a bit more. Then you've got Max who will be desperate to send it and maximise the distance between him and Lewis.

First corner fireworks?

[Graham Triggs @grahamtriggs]

@SoozUK You can't force anyone to do it, but you would think the BBC might try and tap into its "Sound of" lists to try and send future stars, rather than has beens, never weres and songs that are trying to tick boxes or repeat something that was successful 10 years previously.

[Graham Triggs @grahamtriggs]

@globalhlthtwit It needs more than *financial* support. We need to guarantee deliveries of essentials. It has never been taken seriously that lots of people at home mean all delivery slots are taken and anyone finding out they need to isolate are left without any options.

[Graham Triggs @grahamtriggs]

@ApertureElf @AmeerAliSalman I think it was a better song than it was a performance on the night. The giant trumpets added nothing, and it all came across a bit laddish.

A better presentation might have bagged a few points.
