I like chess. Trying to improve. Erratic. Cancer survivor. Guitarist.

The adulterers were both in town in Durham and nobody cared. The👑is dying little by little buses were empty & I'm here for it. Prince Philip said Charles would kill the Monarchy, now look.They thought by not protecting Harry&Meghan instead fed them to the wolves was a good move.

@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.

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.

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.” Source: Tesla Shareholder Meeting, November 6, 2025

Incredible medical care for all!

@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. 🙏

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.

This clip of a British Policewoman rocking back and forth on a rocking horse whilst playing on her phone in somebody’s back garden is the perfect visual example of the state of the UK right now.
