If any of my more prominent SF/Fantasy contacts could help boost that I have a full adult attending Worldcon ticket for sale for £160 (£25 below the current rate) that would be a great help.

I really need to pay the guy who's fixing my collapsed ceiling

@jon_a_5 @lushattic I mean, a parade of dead pop stars would be a bit different.

I'm so proud of the amazing work of the team at SFC and our partners in building the evidence base for the value of research carried out in Scottish Universities.

@effjayem I so enjoyed this, thank you. Perhaps because I’d always thought of Dr Smith and Dr Jakes as a couple.

@kariebookish Might you have been in Elgin? When I was there the station area smelled magnificently of shortbread.

It's a good day to re-up this tweet. If you want to lead the team that delivers #REF2028 then apply to be the next REF director. Closing date 25 June 2023

@kirstygrainger @ProfRoryDuncan I've asked this question in a policy setting too though. Often as a follow up to a question about difficult situations where the candidate has given me a happy ever after answer where everyone sat down in a room and worked through the problem and no one was upset at the end.

Excited to see VAR work at Luton town next season.

@lushattic How very dare you!

@thomasforth @aidanskinner Also, it has it on the buses but not on the trams run by the same company, even though they are changing the bus routes “for better connectivity” https://t.co/k1Yd6UPUmT

[Helen Cross @helenex]

@pickwick @BetteridgesLaw I worked there (c.1999-2001) and can vouch for this!
