Six hour delay, for a 90 minute hop from Luton to Berlin. Thanks @easyJet FN EJU2601

@xbbcaaron You're energetic and lively segments on BBC Breakfast during the 2008 Financial Crisis, watched by 16 y/o me, almost certainly lit touchpaper for my own interest in the press, and likely contributed to my own career choice in PR and Comms, so thank you! you will be missed.

I guess it’s time to share something with you. This week will be my very last show at the BBC. After 30yrs in TV news & 22.5 of them at the BBC it’s time to close this chapter! For those who’ve enjoyed my shows over the years I say THANK YOU! ❤️ It’s been an honour & a privilege

Welcome Charlotte! A brilliant tech lawyer and thought leader across tech, AI, cyber and digital. (And a familiar face...!)

@glenn_newberry Told you, keep the faith Glenn!

@AlexSmith_Comms Admire your optimism. Sunday showed how good a player Amari Cooper really is.

@AlexSmith_Comms Problem is I think they’re right. Going to be a long season

This was a fascinating and emotive read, written by our very own Brian Bates #pride #diversityinlaw

@C_HunterComms My suggestion was install solar panels. Okay, so my home is probably quite efficient already, and installing solar panels should be a mid-term goal for more people. However, a suggestion with an initial cost of £5-8k (their figs!) perhaps not ideal given the cost of living crisis

@RobChamberlain_ Missed the date on the original tweet and thought you'd just posted it! 😪 was about to message to see where this petrol station was offering it so cheap! 😖

It’s back and bigger than everything

Holy crap. However, it gives me a business idea - Fill up day loans! That kind of thing works,right?

@RMCunliffe Related figure that astounds me is how many Parliamentary passes are issued: nearly 20,000 per this FOI! MPs/Peers & their staff, permanent house staff, lobby, contractors doing a whole manner of works all need a pass parliament.uk/site-informati…

Anyone got any figures for how many people work on the parliamentary estate? Including MPs, peers, staffers, journalists, catering staff, cleaners, security guards etc etc. Must be in the tens of thousands...

@thelawyer_adam @TheLawyermag Congrats Adam!

@RebeccaSeal Lots of parties at McDonalds. Little run around in the play area followed by 10 x Happy Meals.

When did kids’ party entertainers become a big thing? Kids of the 90s - did you have entertainers at your birthdays? I am pretty sure I never encountered one in the 1980s, in fact I didn’t until I had kids of my own this decade. It’s for a thing - all intel gratefully received.
