Please join us now on our Facebook page for a live event featuring @GavinCologne! He will be discussing and answering questions about his new LSU Press book, “Portraits from Paris: School and Travel Remembered from the City of Light.” facebook.com/share/v/1CVA5H…

@RoslynByfield How do you pronounce it - literally six-th?

Why can so few presenters and newsreaders pronounce 'sixth'? It's not 'sick..th'. #bbcpm

Nice to place a new book on the shelf: Portraits from Paris @lsupress 1 May.

@gunsnrosesgirl3 empathetic instead of empathic.

@SkyNews Not for the first time, Mr Hoyle reminds me of my junior school Geography teacher giving us detention.

Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle launched a tirade against the chancellor following her 'premature disclosure' of budget details trib.al/Eo9X9Cz

@TedUrchin Your voice is echoing, Ted.

Is it just me, or is Twitter quieter than ever before? @elonmusk?

@SophieDumont1 @LittleBrownUK @CorsairBooks Congratulations, Sophie. Fabulous!

IT’S HAPPENING!!! OvEr ThE mOoN to have signed with @LittleBrownUK for my debut full collection with @CorsairBooks. I can’t wait to finally bring it into the world. A HUGE thank you to my agent Becky at Lewinsohn Literary. ⚡️

@edwinhayward No Plan. Ou Dear. Brreccsit Fucte Eu All? Perhaps Political Scrabble allows for some leeway?

"Ear plan" "Old action" Oh dear. The Tories really haven't thought through how their signs will play in mass gatherings, have they?

@MimiThebo Tout à fait!

I get no work done at work. At work, I talk to all my lovely colleagues and do a lot of shivering (it's cold in our basement lair) and worrying about not getting the work done and about how I came across to my lovely colleagues. At home, I hyper-focus and stuff gets DONE.

Sunrise on the Atlantic!

@EurostarJustinp Indeed. Eurostar is the best of services & not least thanks to you and your colleagues: unfailingly efficient, helpful and welcoming.

@GavinCologne Lovely to meet you too Gavin! Have a good journey and I hope our paths cross again soon.

Good to meet @EurostarJustinp in person. "Without work," writes Balzac, "the ship of life has no ballast." Justin tweets about being a €* train manager. Insight into another's work is always interesting.

@edwereddie Fair enough, and so very true. I'm not convinced by his Wager but his invention of bus travel--now that was something, not to mention his mathematics, strongly featured in Arts et Métiers. And dead at 39. Quite the life.

@GavinCologne Yes, he's exaggerating to make his point that alone time leads you to truths about yourself&your world..
