@eternalhopeoaks Hello Danny!
Any chance you could give this retweet? (As last years winner 🥇)

@interesting_aIl We had a car that did this in the 70s. Ford Zephyr

@AnyVan hired one of your vans and drivers today. Can’t believe how bad updates/tracking information and customer service is. Shocking

@DoctorLemma A few years after this I was watching a bbc documentary that was using some library footage of Richmond Park from the 50s. Some wag in the studio had put the ‘feeenton! Fenton!’ In the background. Made me chuckle.
English

In 2011, a quiet walk in London’s Richmond Park turned into internet history when a black Labrador named Fenton spotted a massive herd of red deer. The dog took off, chasing the animals across a road and causing a stampede that stopped traffic. His owner was filmed running helplessly far behind him.
Interestingly, the dog had previously been given up by the charity Guide Dogs for the Blind because he was deemed "unsuitable" for service.

@GMIgorSmirnov Qh1 (or g1 or a2)
Qa1 is mate
People saying Qd2 aren't accounting for black pawn a3 moving to a2 or similar.

ELON: OPTIMUS WILL ULTIMATELY BE BETTER THAN THE BEST HUMAN SURGEON
“People often talk about eliminating poverty, about giving everyone amazing medical care.
Well, there's actually only one way to do that, and that's with the Optimus robot.
With humanoid robots, you can actually give everyone amazing medical care.
Optimus will ultimately be better than the best human surgeon with a level of precision that is beyond human.
People always talked about eliminating poverty, but Optimus will actually eliminate poverty.”

Incredible medical care for all!

This would happen right after I’ve just washed my car.

In the core–mantle decoupling theory, large waves like these are possible. This is also described in the crustal displacement theory discussed by Chan Thomas in his book, and can occur during geomagnetic excursions. The Sumerian flood of Utnapishtim, the Biblical flood of Noah, the Hindu flood of Manu, and the Greek flood of Deucalion might all describe the same event. This is cyclical!

@daverenham Hey Dave, do you still use X? Wondering if you can answer some chess/teaching related questions?

@BishopPair Hi Dan. Long time!
Haven’t been here lots. Was going to ask a favour- I’m helping organise this chess congress in Basingstoke and wonder if you could give it a retweet, or pass on to chess colleagues. 🙏

@SalfordMe2023 @CharlotteEmmaUK Hit me up if you want a game of speed chess!!!

Hi Charlotte
One of the more tedious parts of uniformed policing is the amount of time you wait around for other police.
I won't bore you with the list, but there are a huge number of crimes and/or potential crimes (sudden unexplained death for example) where after attending and clearing, the uniformed officers role is to back out and wait for detectives, forensics, doctors you get the idea.
In that case, what do you do? I used to play speed chess on my phone. You'd probably tweet. It doesn't mean they're not doing their job, it means they're doing the most boring part of their job (bar paperwork).
Holding police to account when you know they've cocked up is a really important role. Mocking them for likes because you don't understand their job - that's a bit, well unpatriotic.
