Symbiotic collective of bacteria. Thrashed unbelievable genetic odds to be here. Still find things to grumble about.

@British_Airways Hi Leni. Appreciate you looking into this. Booking NP48U7. My name is Patrick Smith. My wife is Katherine (Kate) Barker. Contact me on 07855 413 855 or Kate on 07779 264 504. It’s a bit complicated as the bag is showing on your systems as having a tag but it (99%) doesn’t. Thanks

[Paddy Smith @PaddySmith]

Hi @British_Airways Your employee sent my wife's bag flying off into a chute at LHR after we told her she'd forgotten to tag it. Dozens of phone calls and no one will let us send a picture of the untagged bag to help locate it? Seems wildly illogical? Pics here. Find it please 🙏

@benjackthomas @WiggoWiggo Bet you haven’t bunged a laptop into your hold luggage since that fateful trip @benjackthomas

Me and @Katelovesale have done another baby. This one’s called Tommy. Aptitude for pinball tbc.

@A1GOY @lucyhedges @TheCarTweeter Hedges, Alex is highly recommended and a jolly good egg. HTH

You lot. I'm hiring a journalist in Bristol. Send your best (and report – if you can with a straight face – that I'm alright to work for).

New year's resolution to get a new job? We're hiring a reporter. Come and take a look. https://t.co/O5U6IiaA7y

@TomCullen @Evs_Dubai As someone who has made it his life’s work to successfully discredit Tom Cullen’s ‘less filling is more’ sandwich theory, I think we can confidently ignore his take.

Brown.

Wonder how this will affect international licensees. Huge, difficult transition in any case. How will Fewtch differentiate b/w Stuff and T3? Will staff move to Bath? Exciting project in prospect. https://t.co/8fXtK4dpom

Funniest moments of #PyeongChang2018 so far:

5. 'Woodsy' 'interview'

4. Czech snowboarder's face when she wins Super G skiing

3. That Hungarian halfpipe skier

2. Elise Christie's mum telling the BBC she was a bad loser even as a kid

1. Radzi's BBC links – all of them

Refusing to get drawn into watching the #WinterOlympics Can’t help thinking it’s a slippery slope

[Paddy Smith @PaddySmith]

@WiggoWiggo @tim_bunn Would you say the same about ski jumping?

[Paddy Smith @PaddySmith]

@WiggoWiggo @tim_bunn There’s also dancing, but at least the participants have a meat cleaver strapped to each foot.

[Paddy Smith @PaddySmith]

Nearly time for my quadrennial rant about how much better/faster/riskier/funner Winter Olympics are than running about and throwing things.

[Paddy Smith @PaddySmith]

Not seen new Star Wars but I did watch Gremlins (1984) for the first time yesterday. Be surprised if The Last Jedi looks as fresh come 2050.

@TallEddie Life is smashing, thanks. Hope yours is too. Well, until the kitchen fitters arrive...

[Paddy Smith @PaddySmith]

@TallEddie I used Howdens after getting quotes from various places. You’ll need to buy through an approved builder, but you can find a matey one to put through the order if you want to use someone else. B&Q’s kitchens felt like they were made on Blue Peter by comparison. HTH.

[Paddy Smith @PaddySmith]

@that_nick I appreciationed it

[Paddy Smith @PaddySmith]

Couldn’t agreement more. Well argumented.
