@AskNationwide I just tried to set up the app on a new phone. It failed three times, and each time it sent me the same one-time code. Is there something wrong with your validation software?

@RestIsPolitics @campbellclaret @RoryStewartUK In a recent Q&A Rory mentioned that he’s a great fan of the monarchy. If every single member of the current Royal Family suddenly vanished, how would he choose the next king and founder of a new dynasty?

If recent history has taught us anything, then the main thing this means is that someone in the cabinet knows a bloke who sells lecterns. Probably for about £300k a pop.

@mrgalen As an old bloke I feel bound to point out that it was cool in 1985

@OvercastFM Ironic that in making the list unlimited you’ve made the functionality more limited

[Paul Harris @twoseat]

@OvercastFM any particular reason for removing the ordering in all of my playlists in the update?

NEW: Boris Johnson awards Gavin Williamson a knighthood.

Why *now*? In middle of Russian crisis?

He was appointed defence secretary in Nov 2017 at exact moment, FBI revealed its Trump-Russia investigation began in London.

Is this relevant?

When I was at school the dinosaurs were wiped out 65 million years ago. I’m so old it’s now 66 million years ago.

Watching curling is like an anxiety dream: It's cold, there's a constant risk of falling, and a young woman keeps shouting "Harder!"

In our blog @ONSJames explains why it is both factually incorrect and highly misleading to say only 17,000 people have died of #COVID19. This claim is based on the number of deaths where no other health conditions were noted on the death certificate. https://t.co/YHl88CxFwL

I'll close with a photo that exemplifies my memory of him: outdoors, clowning around, full of love. Goodby my friend, I miss you.

@DougieLawson @stansbie @bowence @welshrower 3/7 - knew one, guessed two

I just forwarded a YouTube of a TikTok that someone got from Facebook and sent to me on WhatsApp to my wife via Apple Messages. And now I've Tweeted about it. I think I may have just triggered a singularity

This is the first time since 1998 that today isn’t an easy day for me, either directly in the US or through working with a bunch of vacationing Americans. Happy Thanksgiving to all my US-connected friends!

Just killed a mosquito while waiting to give blood. I think the mozzies have achieved SkyNet status.

@Wise Your share purchase email says “You must buy your Wise shares through your broker any time between before 10 September” and “The Purchase Period is open between until 10 September 2021” - can I buy on the 10th and still qualify?

@bowence @DougieLawson @stansbie @welshrower 4/7, not great, not terrible
