@AstroMikeMerri @MyNottingham I think they use the same glue used to stick the tiles on space rockets. Well, Stoke-on-Trent council do anyway. I might need to use a flamethrower.

Dear @MyNottingham, If removing the old sticker, rather than just putting the new one over the top, is that important to you, how about not making the glue stronger than the sticker?

@GCHQ @BBCBreakfast O

Here's your 11th daily puzzle. Everyone enjoys a Christmas sing-a-long 🎶 Tune into @BBCBreakfast each morning for your answers, and for more puzzles.

@AstroMikeMerri It was a miserable time. Power cuts every day, getting home from work just as the power went off so sandwiches for dinner and no heating.

Most people have short memories.

@HedgehogCabin @thehitmix PLEASE post this on your Bluesky account.

Pumpkins: Halloween is one night. Tonight. If you have to waste a food item (and I strongly suggest you don't), please put it out for one night, then safely dispose of it. Please DO NOT put it out for the wildlife. Once you've handled it, cut it, left it out in the open, unrefrigerated, it will not be hygienic or safe for anyone to eat. Pumpkins are a low-acid vegetable, so once they are cut and left at room temperature, pathogens will rapidly grow on the flesh, producing mould spores. Our precious wildlife do not have any magical properties that protect them against food poisoning. Additionally, this time of year there are baby hedgehogs around, born too late to find natural food, desperate to eat anything to stop the pain of starvation. Pumpkin has a laxative affect so it would be particularly cruel to leave it out for starving wildlife to eat in desperation, causing them to lose precious fluids that may make the difference between life and death. So no matter what you read elsewhere, please DO NOT put your discarded decoration out for the birds or any other wildlife. Please DO NOT compost them either, as a composting pumpkin can produce highly toxic tremorgenic mycotoxins, which will be deadly if the compost bin is not properly secured and is accessible to wildlife (or pets). Many hedgehogs, seeking the warmth of a compost bin, die this way every year. Once you've used the pumpkin as decoration it's waste, fit only for the bin. Please help get this vital message spread far and wide, to save precious lives and prevent suffering.

@AstroMikeMerri @seeedstudio You'll be getting an offer from elon at this rate!

Behold, in all its foolishness, version 1.0 of my micro remote-control car, driven by the tilt sensors in my phone. The combination of a @seeedstudio ESP32, a couple of linear motors, a 3D printer, and lots of fancy code written by ChatGPT, facilitates such nonsense.

@kamalahmednews @TomTugendhat @ukonward I'd like to see him live for 1 week on what we get each year. Why not just kill us all off when we reach the end of our working life?

Conservative MP and former minister @TomTugendhat says the pension triple lock has created an “economy that is a Ponzi scheme for the old”. Policy is focused on rewarding assets for the old, not jobs and housing for the young @ukonward #CPC25

@CatsProtection My Timmy will keep all his paws crossed for you.

The Reform UK councillors running Nottinghamshire County Council are refusing to speak to local Notts reporters. It’s almost as if their actions aren’t able to stand up to the least local scrutiny. linkedin.com/pulse/reform-u…

Think of everything that went into this - the planning, the costing, the manufacture, the scientific expertise, the wish to educate & inform and share appreciation of nature. And the moron.

@AstroMikeMerri @Sarah_Barltrop @Daily_Express I've seen bigger 'crowds' around the reduced section at Tesco!

crowd /kraʊd/ noun. A large number of people gathered together in a disorganized or unruly way. It’s almost as if @Sarah_Barltrop was desperately trying to stir up something out of nothing much to keep @Daily_Express’ “crisis” going.
