Elderly mother will be thrilled. She always says @GaryLineker seems like a nice man etc, but she absolutely LIVES for @TheRepairShop.

@MadeleineFCDO A seating plan of diplomats. Without a seating plan, they’re just an aimless, bewildered mass of individuals 🙂

Read this thread in search of inspiration; now depressed by the lack of womens voices on politics. Can't we find 2 women to do a non-pompous and non-blokey version of @RestIsPolitics ??

What are the best political podcasts out there, UK or global affairs? The kind that dig beneath the headlines, offer historical analogies, see the bigger picture. Thanks for any suggestions!

THIS. And why my printer - bought in the US - still occasionally decides it can't print on A4. 😠

In the last 3 years, I've come to have a huge fondness and admiration for #Vilnius. It's not afraid to do things differently (like allowing balloons over the city centre). Happy to celebrate its 700th bday today. #vilnius700

Ha - Jesus was a #nepobaby. Not festive, but funny 😄

I managed to avoid the entire #WorldcupQatar2022 but would fully support international santas-on-donkeys racing.

I was too slow to screenshot it… looked up #Infantino on Wikipedia this morning to find him listed as Ayatollah Giovanni Infantino/self-confessed gay Arab disabled migrant worker/Head Clown of FIFA since 2016

By the time I looked again, it was moderated back to the truth.

You have disappointed me, @TheEconomist. (Unusually). My subscriber email promised "why have we become so dissatisfied with being ordinary?", but linked to articles on robots and Elon Musk. Please can I have an article about the topic originally promised?

@Justin_Hyde Thinking of the people who would likely mourn my passing... no, they wouldn't. 🤣

Love this idea - but only if I die in a flat country.

unelectern-able?

Appreciate that there are bigger problems facing the ⁦@Conservatives⁩ just now, but do they really have to buy a new lectern for each incoming PM?? https://t.co/4AlVZHiPKE

I don’t know if this counts as illegal or not, but it’s amazing. Somehow the positive flip side of throwing tinned soup at an oil painting.

Wow. Truss has been PM for - what, 38 days? Of which 10 were official mourning for the Queen? So, one menstrual cycle, then - i.e. this is a genuine #periodofchaos 🤣

(Sorry. Made me laugh though.)

Looking forward to explaining to my 92-year old mother that she is now officially AGC. (She falls under the Gu pots qualification, along with about half of the people replying to @Exploding_Heads here. Clearly touched a nerve.)
