This can was in a multipack, it’s been crushed but remains sealed. It’s mysteriously missing 250ml of beer, no leaks, just…Lost! @brewdogofficial

I’m trying to encourage my 14yr old daughter to be interested in the natural world. On a walk I pointed to a magpie, “what’s that?”
Her confident reply “A big Tit!” #ornithology #springwatch

Thirteen years ago today, the greatest ever Scottish-interest story was reported in the press.

[VeryBritishProblems @SoVeryBritish]

10 rules of biscuits:

1. When opening a packet, any broken biscuits must be consumed immediately.

2. Never dunk a biscuit for too long, you will ruin both your biscuit and your tea. Double sadness.

3. Always offer biscuits to guests, even if they claim they're not interested (they're probably fibbing).

4. Don't be the person who snatches the last biscuit of a kind unless you're prepared to face the consequences - i.e. a new enemy.

5. Always offer a hot drink with biscuits, obviously.

6. Bring out a posh selection of biscuits (metal tin, two layers separated by a sheet of springy purple cardboard, usually called a “collection”) for special occasions.

7. Always pretend you haven’t seen a plate of biscuits being passed around until they’re offered to you, then act pleasantly surprised.

8. Utilise the phrases “I really mustn’t”, “ooh, go on then” and “if you’re having one”.

9. Wrap biscuits up when not in use, either by pushing the open packet up against a wall, or by using a jar, tin or box.

10. Always have more biscuits in stock than you think you need. Never run out. Running out of biscuits is like running out of air: not ideal.

There are many more rules, but these 10 provide a good starting point.

To re-cap last night; The SNP ambushed Labour, who blackmailed the speaker, who broke the rules, which saved Keir’s blushes, which gave the Tories the excuse to pretend to be angry so they could withdraw and not lose the vote, and the SNP were angry their plot failed, so neither put party politics aside to vote for a ceasefire they claim to want, meaning parliament’s a mess but not as much of a mess as Gaza, which last night’s events did nothing to help

The problem with this #Rwanda plan is we sent several #HomeSecretarys over and each and every one has come straight back, what kind of deterrent is that! #Immigration #illegalimmigration @JamesCleverly

Citizens of the United Kingdom. It is our solemn duty to start eating Tunnock’s delicious products as much as possible. A world without Tunnock’s would not be worth living in! Please retweet.

This story just epitomises #Brexit deranged thinking!

Paul exercised his right as EU citizen to retire and set up a B&B in Italy. But when he failed to grapple with Italian laws, he returned to the U.K. and voted #Brexit.

Paul still fails to understand that Britain and Italy always had freedom to set their own rules, apart from on GDPR. And post Brexit, in practice, there's been little change for the U.K. to data protection principles and obligations.

All that Paul has achieved by voting Brexit is removing the freedom for everyone else to retire in Europe.

This person is not fit to be the UK Science Minister.

She has no clue about what simple facts are. It’s embarrassing for UK science.
