Quizzing, Eurovision, Freemasonry, geocaching, omnivorism. It's all good.

@channel5_tv Are you serious?? You show the Opening Ceremony for the Commonwealth Games, and 12 minutes into the broadcast you show nearly FIVE minutes of adverts! I doubt it will be the last either.

Can't you even show an important ceremony like this uninterrupted? disgraceful.

Looks like #exoticca didn't do their homework in how we display prices in the UK @Exoticca

I'm curious to know when it became socially acceptable for cyclists to ride their bikes at night without lights. Any ideas?

Should I start digging a bunker in my back garden, for when that deranged nutjob in the White House decided to press the nuclear button in a fit of petulant rage?

@Channel4 Was going to enjoy watching the opening ceremony. But it's been utterly ruined by ad breaks and messages from sponsors. Not sure whether I want to watch any paralympic coverage if this is what we're to expect.

Looking a little lonely up there Mr P. Have you run out of friends?

@Sophie_Mokoena This is all very well, but will South Africa also be commencing proceedings against Russia, for what they're doing on Ukrainian sovereign territory?

@ESCPifPaf Saint Vincent and the Grenadines are the band lined up to represent Romania. And the Spanish duo Antigua & Barbuda singing for Azerbaijan?

@RussianEmbassy @mfa_russia @BBCWorld @SkyNews @guardian @FT @TelegraphWorld @ObserverUK @spectator @standardnews @TheSun When will Russians realise that they're governed by a paranoid authoritarian? He doesn't care about the citizens of Eastern Ukraine. He just wants its resources. All he needs to do is f*** off out of the internationally recognised borders of Ukraine, and all will be well. 🇺🇦

Always makes me chuckle with the athletics, which I enjoy watching btw. There's technology like you wouldn't believe. Space-age fabrics. Heat sensors. And so on.

But they can't improve on the safety pin for attaching a number to a running vest.

If these #JustStopOil people really want to make a difference, why don't they go and protest at the source? In other words, Saudi Arabia? Or even Iran? I'm sure the authorities there would welcome them with open arms.

If @noakirel and @BlankaStaykov did a collaboration, would they call it "Do you wanna see me Gdańsk"?

@greatesthitsuk Well my experience of Greatest Hits Radio is a bit rubbish. Had to try 4 times to create an account before it let me in. Then got a large number of adverts before it signed me out automatically. Then wouldn't let me sign back in. Never had this trouble with Radio 2.

One Russian paper today reports on FSB Order No.547, which aims to “wean citizens away from excessive freedom of expression.” #ReadingRussia

[Steve Rosenberg @BBCSteveR]

In today’s Russian papers: reaction to Russia's Kherson retreat. Plus: “Our system is geared to the search for a great leader. His decisions are not up for discussion. So he mustn’t make mistakes, for there’s no mechanism to correct them.” #ReadingRussia

@BBCSport Shouldn't it be 'breaststroke', not 'breastroke'?

@Keir_Starmer @simonlightwood Don't get too carried away. As a Centrist, I still can't bring myself to vote Labour. Especially in of the mess they've made of Nottm City Council's finances. It's likely I'll be voting yellow next time.

Ros explains it all. And very well he does too. @BBCRosAtkins
