Etymology of the day: to be ‘blowing a hoolie’ (or ‘hooley’) was probably inspired by the Orkney word ‘hoolan’, a howling gale, with a touch of the ‘hooley’ that is a very noisy party thrown in.

Btw, quite telling that #Evri don't have a twitter account, probably couldn't cope with the number of tweets complaining about their poor service. Company rebranded because it was that bad 1st time round, no better 2nd. 🔔🔚s

@marksandspencer why do you continue to use #Evri for your customer's delivery service. Have been waiting 10 days for a gift card to be delivered. Use @RoyalMail instead (like Amazon, where we should have gone)

@Jacob_Rees_Mogg Easier for a camel to pass through eye of a needle than a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven… nae chance you’re getting in on judgement day; nae chance!

BP made 3-month profit of $8.2bn, which was all cash, and is giving $2.5bn to shareholders via a share buyback. Giving away $2.5bn rather than investing it looks like an invitation by BP to a cash-strapped Sunak government to raise the 25% rate of the “windfall” oil and gas tax

Shell made £90million a day in profits during the last quarter. Fortunately we don’t need to take any of it in tax because we can just cut public services instead.

Tomorrow, an incredibly rare, once-in-a-lifetime astronomical event is happening! Jupiter will be its closest to Earth since 1963! Along with opposition, it’ll be SO bright, you’ll be able to see its bands and some moons just with binoculars!
This won’t happen again until 2129!

I bloody love this 😍

In Australia, this football team just won the league championship.

Their captain went into the stands to get their waterboy, who has Down's Syndrome, so they could celebrate together.

⚠️ It’s hard to overstate how serious this is.

I could use various terms for this behaviour, but… just have a read:

@Feargal_Sharkey @Stoneysnapper @MartinSLewis Have you considered converting to a solid fuel heating system?

But then again, "A Good Hearth These Days is Hard to Find"

@CalMac_Updates This had happened enough times already this year; should already have contingency plan, if it’s only now your investigating then wtf have senior management been doing for past 6 months?

[Murdo Morrison @murdo27]
