@premrugby to trial away seating areas? Why? One of the great things about going is meeting fans from rival teams in the stands. I think @Nigelrefowens needs to point out it's not soccer.

@TheRestHistory Interesting to see @dcsandbrook choosing Sophie Scholl as his IWD heroine - just as the off-Broadway show White Rose hits London.

@SW_Help Not sure the 1823 departing at 1914 is normal running.

@brianmoore666 At least they got rid of the fan jacuzzis at the Friday night games.

@British_Airways currently have 1 bag drop/check in open at @HamburgAirport and a 3+ hour queue. Looking forward to my fifth hotel night at their expense this year.

Listening to @EmpirePodUK and @tweeter_anita and @DalrympleWill missed Ho Chi Minh's memorial in Newhaven celebrating his life in the town working on the Dieppe ferry

Just realised it corrected HFR to HDR, that should read UHD HDR HFR NGA

[Simon @simont_ncle]

Reminds me of sitting in the OB scanner at the European Athletic champs in Berlin during the @EBU_Tech UHD HDR HDR NGA test shoot in 2018. Fun times.

@TonyChurnside @iandeeley Much of the EU also has proper vendor based recycling in place though rather than try and remember to put it in the second bin every other Thursday.

Enjoying the @smpteuk conference session on AI. ChatGPT for referees. Followed by how do you translate between a non-gendered, informal language like English to gendered languages like German or a language with levels of formality like Korean.

For me, democracy is the galactic equivalent of when a human stumbles upon a branch of Wimpy. You know it’s seen better days, you’re kinda surprised it’s still going, but deep down you still fancy a bite. It’s a wonderful thing. Enjoy!

I'm somewhere which has a machine that perfectly strips any size of co-ax, crimps on a ferrule, solders on the pin and assembles the housing of either an N, PL259, BNC, TNC, SMA, MCC and adds the strain relief. Mind blown.

@SamLStandsUp The 50m rolling maul because your forwards are knackered and don't want to run anymore. Normally accompanied by a scrum half shouting for quick ball.

@iandeeley Could be worse, could be a side addressed ribbon mic.

@hoyer_kat @MichaelCalifra Apologies, it was a different person, but Jennifer Teege's book is still worth a read.

[Simon @simont_ncle]

@hoyer_kat @MichaelCalifra Didn't his granddaughter find out by accident she was related and write a book on the subject?
