@Vegagerdin @awanderingmedic Thank you.

[Steve Rooke @veghog]

@Vegagerdin @awanderingmedic We are here and planning to camp it in July . Have struggled in the 10 days we've been here to find "info", esp on hiking routes generally. Just wondering if there is a twitter account linked to the Laugavegur regarding conditions/forecast. Advice was to call Hrafntinnusker Hut.

@DavidH83615464 @wheeliedealer Ditto here.

[Steve Rooke @veghog]

@locusmap I'm looking to migrate from VR/OA. Do you have an annual UK OS map subscription like they do, or do I have to buy each area in perpetuity? Thanks

[Steve Rooke @veghog]

Hoping someone @TheRepairShop could help me at least identify what the cloth-like covering on this trunk is. Could it be painted hessian?! About 70-100 yrs old we think and want to use as a table and protect top surface somehow...

[Steve Rooke @veghog]

Great co-comm today @lucyjward_ 👍

Funniest thing about this is his sad delusion that he had a reputation left to tarnish.

@InvestmentBee LOL, when you said yesterday I thought "ours'll be another month yet", must be warmer down there!

[Steve Rooke @veghog]

@AskeBay Thanks - I've finally had a response to my DM and have initiated a request.

[Steve Rooke @veghog]

Bought wardrobe a week ago @eBay_UK Trying to arrange van to pickup. No comms from seller. Convoluted web links on platform keep asking me to "Contact the seller"

Absolutely p1$$-poor tbh.

[Steve Rooke @veghog]

I mainly used @Strava to track overall effort/dist per month. Since they asked for £4/m each for us to see that, I've stopped logging everything and use better apps for my walking like @viewranger. Think they've got it wrong and need to monetise differently. 2xStrava = 1Netflix

[Steve Rooke @veghog]

Lemme get this right? You wanted to take back control. You're getting control. But you want the FRENCH to help, now you've got control. You couldn't make this up. Seriously.

[Priti Patel MP @pritipatel]

We also need the cooperation of the French to intercept boats and return migrants back to France.

I know that when the British people say they want to take back control of our borders – this is exactly what they mean.

[Steve Rooke @veghog]

In one interview Bridgen shifting blame on spike to immigrants and lack of public common sense. Nothing at all to do with shambolic clarity of messaging (amongst other things). Oh no. Government blameless.

@Redpeter99 Call a spade a spade. He is (a) Johnson.

[Steve Rooke @veghog]

Hey @parcelforce , please have a rummage round your Leeds depot for my order which you failed to deliver on 21st as couldn't find address. We've been here 28 years, hopefully won't take you that long to get on google.

[Steve Rooke @veghog]

Fascinating and illuminating piece on parallels with 1918. As someone who wasn't into history at school, I've often wondered how they managed to ignore such huge events in favour of faked Piltdown Man studies I remember.

[Otto English @Otto_English]

Protests defending black lives, social distancing, riots, blundering leadership, desperately ill Prime Ministers and events whose after effects would resonate down a century.

My piece on the extraordinary parallels between the 1918 pandemic and today

@ade_mcfade Some odd sheep up your way

[Steve Rooke @veghog]

Must've seemed like a slam-dunk picking Johnson when he was up against Corbyn.

[Tamara Cohen @tamcohen]

What about those newly elected Tory MPs who make up 1/3 of the party?

Publicly quiet, but talking to some tonight, I understand their Whatsapp conversations post press conference have been pretty angry, with many telling whips they want answers from the PM.

[Steve Rooke @veghog]

@neilcoxon @MarkDampier We're English and love re-inventing a better wheel than those foreigners.

[Steve Rooke @veghog]

I never did and fully expect him to be gone by end of year. But by Gove, be careful what you wish for...
