@hantsconnect Hey there! Are you opening QECP today? The boy wants to hit your trails.

@pedroarilla @pwnies @PhilGarnham @fermello78 @StuartdeRozario @ammazzarella @kristaradoeva Oops. Sorry, I meant @arillatype 😬

[Marcus Taylor @marcustaylor]

@dwedigital Hating it and still doing it. That’s my flavour of crazy. Trail running is the answer. The miles just fly by.

[Marcus Taylor @marcustaylor]

@dwedigital Nice one, Dave! Getting faster. Might you have the running bug!?

@FonsMans 1Password so I can install everything else.

2023 is like an episode of Black Mirror.

@ratbanjos Once upon a time, a man in a hat went to find a questionable artefact in a desert. The signs were misleading. Left or right? A monk on a bridge said, ‘not this way, son. These idiots in a lorry thought it was this way.’ Two men in coats said, ‘he’s right, it’s that way.’ —The end

Overheard on the @profgalloway podcast: Twitter’s re-brand “looks like a wrapper for a condom that’s gonna break. It looks dangerous and gross.” Yup, nailed it.

Joining a Teams meeting is like loading a game on a ZX81. It takes 5 minutes, and there is no guarantee it’ll work. (Sorry, young folk. This reference will be lost on you.)

@ratbanjos Wait until family gatherings, and let Uncle Ray loose on the Co-op bitter and let him fly in the kitchen ranting at the cooker.

The X rebrand is the best ad in history for external brand consultants.

@brijanp To create order out of chaos. To bring a vision to life. To move the needle for my clients. Impact. That’s why.

@llaurenkat Try Teams! Then you will look at Zoom in a whole new light.

[Marcus Taylor @marcustaylor]

@bekah_mcdonald Oh heck. What do we use for a close button?

[Marcus Taylor @marcustaylor]

So what’s this bad boy to become?

[Marcus Taylor @marcustaylor]

Brilliant idea.

Ask the internet to design your logo (not brand) in 24 hours and then have your design team pick up the pieces for the rest of time.

Go.

@ThatEricAlper Prince in the Brixton Academy in the New Power Soul era. I just stood there entranced and soaked up an arena sized performance in a small theatre.

@jamescaig In the family car it was Prince, Dirty Mind and Beastie Boys, Paul’s Boutique. My parents were BBC Radio 3 listeners through and through (that’s classical if you are outside the UK). I don’t know how we got away with it.
