@SpillerOfTea @GlennyRodge I wonder how she’ll be written out? Poisoning at a garden party? Trips over a corgi? Murdered by one of the staff?

@whaeavee Absolutely nothing. No offence intended and I apologise if any caused. It was an attempted ironic twist on one of the most known families in the world being a bunch of freeloaders Yet you got whinged at for not consulting your’s. Sorry

@LexRegina72 Am thinking this is why it’s being billed as ‘The Final Stand’. They’ve been sucked into their own wormhole. Science eh? Still I’m sure they had fun while it lasted.

@aoinifh @ownmangone FWIW I think that an increasing number of the former British colonies are at a time when it’s right to stand and say: ‘no! This is how it’s pronounced’. Here’s in NZ greater emphasis is being placed on correct Māori names, spelling, and pronunciation. The ones that…

A rare tweet from me but #SuperSaturday is a huge deal. Get vaccinated tomorrow or, if you already have been, encourage whanau or friends to. Shot Aotearoa.
