Will a Tamilian call "Pani puri" by its name or say "Thanni puri". That is the question by @TMVRaghav. Great question by an anchor who introduced the programme by calling "Tamil Nadu", "Tamil Nad"... :) https://t.co/fVhlcxmyVi

@British_Airways Thanks Julie, I was not charged extra after seeing my email. However, I've been waiting for my luggage (I am in Montreal) since Saturday (12th). At the airport I was told it will be delivered to the hotel. No luck so far. App says I cant enter details now. What do I need to do?

[Sandeep Ramalingam @sanramalin]

Explain this please @British_Airways. My reservation says I can check in 2×32kg bags. I had one weighing 29kg. At check in, I was told that I was only eligible to carry 2×23 kg bags. Since my bag was over 23kgs, I had to pay a penalty of £65!!! Lucky I had my email handy.

@British_Airways Thanks Karen, but that's not what my confirmation email says... I was told 2x32kgs when I booked. You cant change things on a whim...

@ShekharGupta @ahluwaliadisha Nice to hear an archaeologists perspective. Very happy to hear that so much archeology is going on these days. Just to help with pronunciation. Mayilaadumparai: Mayil = Peacock; Aadum = on which it dances; Paarai = Rock. The rock on which the peacock dances.

@BBCSpringwatch re the blue tit's. Worth getting the dead chick's tested. Odd for them to drop off so rapidly.

Unusual cloud formation @ Barns Ness. What clouds are they @metoffice ?

A wonderful welcome @RSPBLeightonM. Confiding enough to share three seeds :)

[Sandeep Ramalingam @sanramalin]

@tdelahaye1 Hello Thomas. Thanks for getting in touch. We are analysing the results at present and should have something to share in the next few months. Thank you to your daughter, you and your family for taking part. Sorry about the wait.

[Sandeep Ramalingam @sanramalin]

@doctorsdilemma @zeynep @microlabdoc Sorry about the 2 year delay. I just became aware of this thread. If you are interested, the science underpinning @ELVISstudy is here. https://t.co/FoN004uvTp. We have now completed the @ElvisKids study. The results should hopefully be out in the next few months.

[Sandeep Ramalingam @sanramalin]

Never thought that we would get appreciated for doing an already enjoyable task. Very nice gesture @SoIB_India. Food for thought @_BTO

#Backorstreakybacon challenge. We like to toast the roll in the fat first. As a back bacon fan, it hurts to say @Tesco finest streaky bacon won. @finnebrogue, the back bacon tastes good, but the roll was dry. If you have trimmed off some fat, can you leave it back please.
