@mikelmendi @Worldle_Game Poor show.

@MichaelVaughan That's not quite right - the margin required depends on how many runs they score. If they score 316 they need to bowl Bangladesh out for 7. Or fewer.

[Paul Barden @PaulB204]

BBC saying Pakistan must win by at least 316. That's not quite right - the margin depends on how many runs. The minimum would be to score 308 then bowl Bangladesh out for 0.

33.77 out of 40 VPs for U15s today. As the other resullts went, we needed 4.08 more for third place. Fourth is good. #EBUTromso

They're about to bid and make a 24-high 3NT. https://t.co/SilNpELwTw

Two wins out of three for the U15s for the third day running. Two more wins on the last day will give us the chance of a medal #EBUTromso

[Paul Barden @PaulB204]

U15s won two out of three again today, beating the fancied Israelis. Our target for tomorrow is three wins #EBUTromso

[Paul Barden @PaulB204]

Today the U15s play France, Ireland and Israel. Ireland are playing without standing having failed to meet the age limits #EBUTromso

[Paul Barden @PaulB204]

Useful start for the U15s: two out of three on the first day including a win against Poland, many people's favourites #EBUTromso

[Paul Barden @PaulB204]

Practising playing with screens. #EBUTromso

England U25, U20, and U15 settling in. David Bakhshi is doing a great job getting the hotel to give us twin rooms not doubles. #EBUTromso

@bengoldacre The article specifies "full-time equivalent" - scaling up part-time consultants.

[Paul Barden @PaulB204]

@bengoldacre "£118k" - some numbers here - http://t.co/IvUn26I9lp . Mean non-locum consultant earnings £112k including overtime

@Frances_Coppola ...but if you could have a hypothesis that correlation is time-varying, which you might have enough data to substantiate.

[Paul Barden @PaulB204]

@Frances_Coppola that depends. If you forget about the order of the points, then zero correlation is about what you see...

"Waiting times for A&E in England at record low", reports @BBCBreaking. Which is bad news for the BBC rather than good news for the NHS.

I've tried doing some data analysis on the "two thirds of #cancer" paper - http://t.co/zVfWTVuafj

[Paul Barden @PaulB204]

I've written something about 'the two-thirds of cancers..' story. Now I'm trying my hand at twittery self-promotion. http://t.co/NXcDmoOA38
