@VOGCouncil @Valeways @RamblersCymru Who do we contact regarding blocked and/or overgrown public footpaths? @BarryValeofGlam Footpath S1/34/1 is the only public footpath through woodland that includes environmentally important SSSI Pencoedtre Wood and is becoming inaccessible.

@AndrewRTDavies I guess this is a case of Andrew ReTweet Davies.

@GavinStacey20 It would be great if you guys could cash in on this Gavin and Stacey Love and recreate the Barry Lido kind of like what Deadpool did for Wrexham... Rather than just increasing my indian order - Smithy!

Once a day at a minimum I hang up on someone in my job for simply being rude.

I don't care about swearing etc. Just acting like a child over the smallest of things.

@GeorgeMonbiot I agree, but, so... if I'm working class or upper class it's ok to buy a second home? I was going to go with total orbital nuclear bombardment as the answer to the first question, anyway. I think you can order it on amazon.

@wildlife_words @Buzz_dont_tweet @NLonghornRS @arusticranger Gallahad is a much better name, 'pliers support' seems to be a mistranslation or predictive text error for 'Longhorn'. Hence Black-spotted Longhorn Beetle.

@leilaabcosta @caitrionambalfe Black-spotted Longhorn Beetle the pliers thing seems to be a copy paste error...

[RadioAlchemist @RadioAlchemist]

@hoglorfen No one does! Somebody mistranslated or predictive texted it and it's gone viral into some biological recording sites.

[RadioAlchemist @RadioAlchemist]

@andysims4049 @LincsBeetles @sheborg @LincsWildlife @LincsNaturalist It's a viral/translative/predictive text corruption of the name Black-spotted Longhorn Beetle. Not sure how it started.

[RadioAlchemist @RadioAlchemist]

Rhagium mordax, Black-spotted Longhorn Beetle, does not care about your pliers. #beetle #coleoptera @buzz_dont_tweet @NHM_London

@ElonMuskAOC It'll look good on the black helicopters and vault doors.

@ProfBrianCox If number of civilisations in any galaxy is </=1 then we are talking intergalactic travel, not interstellar. Thus transportation or communication may not be in the form we imagine (person gets on ship, gets off ship x ly later and somehow the universe is unchanged). Deep Time.

[RadioAlchemist @RadioAlchemist]

@prayanlikesbugs @sidbelbase I've noticed this recently, problem with Common vs Scientific names. I think the 'Pliers Support' is a corruption of 'longhorn' through translation error/predictive text. Black-spotted Longhorn Beetle is more sensible sounding https://t.co/9BwlnQWChG

[RadioAlchemist @RadioAlchemist]

Can nothing be done re the viral corruption of the common name of longhorn beetle Rhagium mordax? I doubt it is 'Blackspotted Pliers Support Beetle' but it's everywhere, even in theses. Surely it's a translation/predictive text mangling? Bugs me😁 @Buzz_dont_tweet @NHM_London
