@JournoJones05 How very brave of her.

I honestly can't remember when I last laughed as much as I did this evening watching @Rylan coming to terms with the astrologer's verdict - priceless. Congratulations to him and @RobbieRinder for a brilliant show #RobandRylansPassagetoIndia

Just went to our @Everymancinema and it was great - probably because #JesseEisenberg 's film A Real Pain is utterly brilliant. Funny, tragic, human. Great acting too from Eisenberg and #KieranCulkin Why is @CamPicturehouse not showing it?

Not impressed with @rushanaraali talking over @justinwebbblog on @BBCr4today - hopeless responses I thought. Disappointed with @UKLabour #waspiwomen #WASPI

@arusbridger @nytimes It's an American game! We have to allow them their quirks.

Your prize for making it to Friday is 92 seconds of Kenneth Williams talking about accents.

Good morning.

A depressing thread. #Antisemitism #NeverAgain

[AniYehudi - ברוך @AYehudi1948]

@HenMazzig “due to the current situation” [of the fact you are a Jew] we are unable to fulfill your request

This is how it started with Jews in Germany during the 1930’s… we all know how that ended

I don't know what they're talking but it seems very important

Sitting on an almost empty train to Liverpool Street in the late morning, and it's my bad luck to be stuck between two people having two loud quite different work calls! Maybe I'll move... #loudphonecalls #annoying #trainjourneys

[Rachel @remeller]

@KeironPim Hope it was a roaring success! X
