@jordanbhx I don't hate this. Nevertheless, I shall continue to suggest "Birmingshire" at every opportunity (always to stunned silence).

@jordanbhx @BM_AG A highlight of my visit was overhearing a french woman confidently translating a label for her small child before reverting to confused English for '"pooping dog"?'

@nashienet I sought out this awful-sounding beer and pizza article, based on your anti-recommendation, but was disappointed to discover that it’s pretty-much the best-quality journalism I’ve seen on Birmingham Live for years.

@jordanbhx There's been some movement in the rankings, and it's highest rated, now. Brass Birmingham, that is, not Reflex; I assume the position of top nightclub on Broad Street has been taken by Snobs.

@wiiinceband I this your tourbus I've found?

@nashienet East-Asian lavatory design news is what we pay our licence fees for. Where can I find this on iPlayer, so I can be informed, educated, and entertained?

@mrmjprice I had a tram conductor get quite irate with me recently when I asked for a Centro Daytripper. I think he wanted to sell me a one-day Metro ticket instead, and was pretty annoyed that that wasn't what I wanted.

@GarethDennis Does it even make sense that shorter-term season tickets work out more expensive than longer-term ones though, in the age of digital retailing and direct debits?

[Peter Oliver @mavit]

@steve_parkes Honestly, I'd maybe be willing to overlook a little bit of tax avoidance, provided the helicopter is yellow and has a hydraulic digger on the front?

@jordanbhx An award?! It was closed for 6½ years longer than planned, they destroyed the wooden dancefloors, and contaminated the pipe organ with asbestos. And don't even get me started on the urinals.

We'll be back for another afternoon of board games on Sunday 3rd March: https://t.co/gRVTmgG68d

@Railnatter How many taxis would rail displace, and how many staff would it take to run that service?

[Peter Oliver @mavit]

@lauracreaven @twloat @ichoosemag There will be a tram (provided you don't mind going all round the Wrekin on it).

@TRUST_FUND Does this festival have a “Pop in for half an hour on the way to Allo Darlin’” ticket tier?

[Peter Oliver @mavit]

@nashienet Thunderbird is still a thing, by the way.

[Peter Oliver @mavit]

@padders123 @lauracreaven I hope they've painted the same on the entire fleet.

[Peter Oliver @mavit]

@dracos Last time I used a ticket machine, I got tricked into buying a return ticket when I only wanted a single. I'm not sure whether it made it less or more annoying that the price difference was only 30p.
