@toomanytoddlers @Baddiel Ditto, I have recently quantified my Jewish-ness via DNA (albeit small!) I guess it boils down to a personal preference which group/race/belief/identify you most associate with. To answer the @Baddiel quandary; who needs to know and why ... ticking a box puts you in a box!

@fishforchester @ShitChester I don't think you need to defend or explain; the new market is a brilliant vibrant modern space, which will evolve and get better IMHO. Hopefully the moaners will move on to something else soon!

It's set to open at the former Dawsons store this weekend

@richardosman Ha, now they have the budget! It was a surreal experience ... I'm sure no-one can fill your big shoes, until they do ;)

No reply from the @CostaCoffee people? I assumed that Customers and Social Media were important. Anyhoo, I have other choices, both chains and independents, in a some cases 1/2 price or cheaper

[Tony Lawrence @ITelementary]

Unfortunately @CostaCoffee have lost this customer in Chester; removing filter coffee and no own-cup discount ... increase for me from 99p to £2.55 (small Americano) I will miss the friendly staff and sitting watching the world go by on Watergate Street :(

[Tony Lawrence @ITelementary]

@mattjones Yep, perceptions need to change, and more pedestrian and cycle-friendly options for shoppers. I walk when I can and limit my driving for bulkier items.

Looking for a Deva Fest tickets for this weekend in Chester, 2 full adult tickets (not camping). Great music, food and weather! Selling due to illness. https://t.co/svjKkWcJlR

@GergelyOrosz Of course he did, this was [is] an inspirational book for me when I started in IT, remember written at the time of monolithic mainframes!

[Tony Lawrence @ITelementary]

@TVNaga01 Who needs those calming videos, this is hypnotic ... although I'm sure there is a lot of practice and skill involved than it appears!

[Tony Lawrence @ITelementary]

@mrjclawrence @Eurostar Good to hear a positive from the delays ... and you are home safely :)

[Tony Lawrence @ITelementary]

Haha, that told you ... maybe they meant 'babysitting' in the sense of supporting & enabling a precious thing?! In my world all skilled, conscientious & respectful practitioners are mostly on the same level :)

i am saving this one for many future uses

[Tony Lawrence @ITelementary]

@eliistender10 @lesleyanngreen Indeed, although on a related matter wouldn't it be more satisfying if palindrome were a palindrome ... can someone ask the man?

[Tony Lawrence @ITelementary]

@richardosman ... and as for bowties, Sir Robin Day? I'll stop now.

[Tony Lawrence @ITelementary]

@richardosman I think you're on dodgy legal ground there, didn't the late great Two Ronnies do the glasses silhouette first, not to mention Chris Evans (no not that one)

[Tony Lawrence @ITelementary]

@iamdevloper I am bit conflicted, yes we know Users/Customers can be idiots but the clever people, developers & solutioneers like us, must shoulder some responsibility? I find myself on the other side of the argument when I fail to read small print ... normally to the big man's advantage.

[Tony Lawrence @ITelementary]

@brian_bilston Ah the sweet pathos of dreams, hopes & expectations unfulfilled ... isn't the capturing of the challenge part of the battle won, no that must be something else ...

[Tony Lawrence @ITelementary]

Brilliant, there is something about elephants that is so life-affirming, and human (in all the good ways).

After crossing the road she gives thanks !
A wonderful creatures ♥

@drsje3 @richardosman @BestForBritain Haha 'Cabernet meeting', but let's be Franc, it's not just about politicians ... what about all those Bordeaux meetings? (I'll get my coat)

[Tony Lawrence @ITelementary]

@VictoriaCoren @Channel4 I think the writing was on the wall early on, but I loved the banter with Greg ... you're all winners to me, great series :) Last night's drinking task was l-o-l!
