Quantity Surveyor originally from Oldham, now ensconced in Colliers Wood. Continually in despair about Latics. Love being part of @CollyWarblers and @MertonTN

@UpTheWorkers I'm glad he's still around

I saw him touching in at Colliers Wood underground station about 6 months after Oyster was introduced

@MichaelRosenYes @OED The version I recall was "And the moon shines bright on Charlie Chaplin, his boots are craquelin for the want of blackin', and his owd fusty coat is wanting mending until they send him to the Dardenelles"

No idea why I remember that, I suspect it may have been a skipping song

@Microinteracti1 This is OK, but.....

Why, therefore, do the Americans refer to their game as football. The feet rarely feature. A more apt term would be handball, surely

@sciencegirl On the basis that the background for the projection has length, width and height, I would contend that my brain is correct to think it is 3D

@newscientist I've not read the article, yet but I would have thought the word "help" would be better if substituted with "prevent" or "stop", otherwise, I despair, without help

@RhonddaBryant @SebastianEPayne I'm not sure how many offices of profit under the crown there are, but the beaviour of one "honourable member" may be about to add "MP for Clacton" to it

🤔

A good night last night, was it?

@IMcMillan @DarfieldMuseum That's great. Well done to all the volunteers.

I assume the cake that didn't get sold was donated to them to reduce food waste

@Matt_H_UK @Worldcuptour I'm not sure that a bath with headphones, wine, weed & Ouija board could end in anything other than a chilling experience in the cold bath water

(or a mess)

[Ian Johnson @ij_london]

@MichaelRosenYes @lilbuddymax Not specificly related to your point, MIchael, but speaking to someone ealier I said the world was going to shit & whilst not a commited Christian, the 10 commandments were a reasonable guide to life.

He agreed but also pointed out that we don't respect each other as people

[Ian Johnson @ij_london]

@ESCulture Where is the National History Museum?

Is it anywhere near the NATURAL History Museum in Kensington?

[Ian Johnson @ij_london]

@Worldcuptour What next?

Turn "Vindication" the other way up and take the picture again?

[Ian Johnson @ij_london]

@MichaelRosenYes Is that not because, as I think it was Michael Gove said, we've had enough of experts?

[Ian Johnson @ij_london]

@IMcMillan I quite understand that some books, in our own opinions, may be worth reading more than once, but if you're in a position to buy a book twice, would you donate one of the copies to someone who hasn't the opportunity to read it once?

[Ian Johnson @ij_london]

@Worldcuptour Be honest

If you take a break for a few days with your pets for self care, you won't be on here, so I would suggest there would be little to rile you

🙂

@IMcMillan This won't help a lot but there were definitely 3rd Division football matches on Good Friday in 1974 because I saw Oldham Athletic beat Southport 6-0 at Boundary Park that day

[Ian Johnson @ij_london]

@DavidGauke The wording of what Osborne suggests that he is no longer British

"your GDP" as an example.

Have I missed him becoming Irish or a full time resident of an off shore tax haven?

[Ian Johnson @ij_london]

@IMcMillan Not sure I'll be backing that one any time soon 😃

[Ian Johnson @ij_london]

@kmflett @michaelgove Keith

I think you may mean "Brighton penalty due to a small head tap"

Brentford won 0-5 at Southampton

[Ian Johnson @ij_london]

@LBCNews In that case, what is the rationale for not finishing it from today?
