@michaeljknowles How certain are you that you won’t go there?

@ArsenalSpares If you have a spare, I'm in Central Madrid

[Richard Miller @rrxmiller]

@Clanseas @ArsenalSpares Hi. I'm Madrid. No ticket. Any chance?

[Richard Miller @rrxmiller]

@CarpeDonktum You do know that there are still millions of votes to be counted? California is at 57%, for example

@goonerdave66 I’ve replied

[Richard Miller @rrxmiller]

@JosephSteyne @goonerdave66 DM me (not a tout; have a spare next to me)

@ODEONCinemas

Dear Odeon,

Your hatfield galleria cinema is licensed but you don't offer free drinking water. Think you may wish to look into this ASAP.

@AJogee Congratulations Adam

@jeremyjsharp @jackbern23 No one ever said it did. The original tweet was about the federal government. Supermajorities exist in many countries and are not defined as 2/3rds but simply as greater than a simple majority. A cloture vote requires a supermajority

[Richard Miller @rrxmiller]

@jeremyjsharp @jackbern23 Supermajority has many meanings including overriding executive veto (as I wrote in the original reply). Cloture used to require 2/3rds of the Senate. The 60 senator number is now more often used due the proliferation of the filibuster

[Richard Miller @rrxmiller]

@jackbern23 I would have gone on to write about supermajorities in terms of amendments and the Senate trial following impeachment. All this proves your point though: the term is meaningless in UK politics

[Richard Miller @rrxmiller]

@jackbern23 Hi Jack,

Supermajority generally refers to having enough Senators to vote for cloture to overturn a filibuster, I.e. 60 Senators. This only matters if the same party has the House and the Presidency. It can also mean having two thirds of both Houses to overturn a veto.

[Richard Miller @rrxmiller]

@jackbern23 Surely you have the time considering Taskmaster isn’t on at the moment?

@RoryStewartUK Sunak was the more polished, and through being more succinct, it felt like he was interrupted less. He was also lying more. Starmer had to not totally screw it up, and he didn’t, which is why the bookies have shorted Labour. Tories to get 50 to 99 seats is now favourite

@RoyalCaribbean Almost 2 hours. I've hung up, as your office hours are purportedly 10 to 5. This, by the way, was after emailing about the issue, which I haven't had a reply to. Extraordinarily poor.

[Richard Miller @rrxmiller]

@pandocruises currently over an hour waiting for a call to be answered. Is this your usual service?

[Richard Miller @rrxmiller]

90 minutes now… if the office isn’t open on Sundays, why is it advertised as such? If it is open, why is there no answer? Given me time to explore @RoyalCaribbean holidays, which may be useful

[Richard Miller @rrxmiller]

@RoyalCaribbean Thanks for the reply! It is p&o which is not answering not Royal Caribbean!

[Richard Miller @rrxmiller]

@hzeffman I still teach that lesson…

@SChevannes @ChessProblem How many in a team?
