How does Inga not get the ick by her 12 year old boyfriend? Everything about Sam Prince makes my skin crawl 🥴#MadeInChelsea

@AivlysSevaerg I thought Deshprabhu said she's a PhD student

#universitychallenge the moment where two Oriel team members simultaneously remembered their excellent music choices of the early 2000s. more throwback questions please & tysm!

Strep A has killed 9 children in the UK this year and parents are struggling to find antibiotics. It's ok to be worried, but be aware that anti-vaccine rumours are designed to prey on the worried. Instead, here's some actually helpful info on what's happening:

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

If you’re a parent feeling understandably anxious about Strep A right now, this is an excellent, clear, measured & reassuring piece - thanks @devisridhar https://t.co/1I5kdmNZbs

When you have #UniversityChallenge at 830 and then have to play the local pub at 930 as a 'Kings of Leon' tribute act

@Gmackematix (2/2) if someone said "iconic" 60s music, the majority of people would think Beatles, Beach Boys, Rolling Stones first. I'm a fair bit older than the contestants and still answered a big fat zero of the music ones.

[Mary Rachel Larkey @MayLark3]

@Gmackematix (1/2) but #universitychallenge doesn't do "iconic" rounds, does it? You're arguing on the premise that all UC students grew up on this side of the world. If doing pop rounds, at least make it objectively pop not 1960s stuff that relies on having UK/US parents.

Ghibli, trombone questions and dinosaurs appearing on #universitychallenge? School band nerd finally getting some questions right here. Loving the more modern questions this series!

If you read the names of University Oxford’s team left to right it sounds like someone falling down the stairs

#universitychallenge thank you BBC for recognising that Colin Robinson needs to be in more than just one show. That's my series favourite contestant sorted xoxo

Like I'll watch #LoveIsland but mate you better not be putting it on the same god tier shelf as Adventureland 😵

[Mary Rachel Larkey @MayLark3]

Absolutely unacceptable that #BBCBreakfast presenter just addressed professional scientist @DrJeniMillard as "an extragalactic whatever-you-are". Would you bother to say the extra word for an older male scientist's job title? Astronomer isn't hard to say.

[dorcas coleridge @dorcascoleridge]

#BBCBreakfast Jon Kay describes a guest as “an intergalactic whatever you are” A bit rich from a bloke who sits on a sofa talking to people about their dogs!!

Just a random reminder to book any overdue smear tests please gals 😘😘 My follow up smear has come back dodgy so progressing to the next set of tests. Don’t leave it! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Is it just the most ironic re-brand ever that Hermes is now called "Evri" - so basically "delivery" with missing letters. #britishproblems #hermescourier
