I follow mainly print journalists, which suggests I'm missing the point of the internet. 🏳️🌈

@BenInRushcliffe Running a pub well is a real skill. I get that there’s circumstantial stuff that can be beyond a landlord’s control and the current climate is less than great. But when you find a place that gets it right, you just know. And it’s a joy.

I went to two pubs New Years eve. One closed at 7pm, chucked dozens of people out to prep for a ticketed gig - went back about 9ish to fetch the car and the place was v quiet. The second pub you'd never know it was NYE...no music, no entertainment, nothing. Boring.

@J_Bloodworth Also: “What must tourists think?” Tourists? People who, by definition, are from another country and whose first language is likely not English? They… almost certainly don’t give it a second thought, petal.

Dunno but maybe people like this should just be put down

Just landed in Heathrow Airport T3. Went into M&S. Three @marksandspencer staff speaking in another language. I asked them “What language are you speaking?” They responded “Hindi” I have a voice recording & their names to report to M&S. We must confront them every time.

@kitwilsonwriter Buying greetings cards is a fairly miserable experience these days. I know a lot of people don’t bother any more and who can blame them?

Do other cultures make birthday cards like “Happy birthday, I hate your guts and wish I’d never met you - hope you have a horrible day” or is that just Brits?

@AJWestAuthor It’s bad enough as it is but it’s still quite unusual for it to be more than one offender in a train carriage. But let’s face it, a tipping point’s coming. What’s it going to be like when half the carriage is at it?!

Are there any people here who like books still?

@GaddersII Mine repeatedly corrected “Barnard Castle” to “Barbara Castle”. Which tells a story of sorts, I guess.

Delighted that my PB on Sunday qualifies me to apply for a Good for Age place at London Marathon 2026! 😄🏃♀️
I’ll be in the 45-49 category by then but somehow snook under the 18-39 qualifying time as well😳
Tend to hate race pics but these capture the joy & relief of the finish

Well that's going straight to the top of the Christmas wish list

@LeeButterley Other people’s houses – even the loveliest people’s – are a fraught business, frankly.

@LeeButterley It’s a look that covers most eventualities these days, I find.
