Don't Let the Bar Stewards Grind You Down

@Harvey741 @Scott_Wortley @Valhalla451 I ran dressed as a kettle drum. I was soundly beaten by all.

@Scott_Wortley @Valhalla451 I once ran the London marathon dressed as a teddy bear and finished furred!

Imagine running 1 hr 59 mins 41 secs for a marathon and finishing second

@markwhogarth @mrhenrymorris @Stsantek Back in the seventies, you could grab a pint in the on-site canteen before your shift on the forklifts in the warehouse. Just amazing how much the world continues to change and progress around us.

@mrhenrymorris @Stsantek We had a guy sacked for stinking of booze and having cans of Stella in his locker at work. He was a forklift truck driver to be fair.

Yeah no, sorry, MPs are often cooped up in Parliament for 15 hours a day, they will have a drink with journalists or colleagues and will still be discussing politics -their job, as Hannah says. I don’t like the blanket demonisation of MPs and Hannah should know better after she had already been accused of not taking the job seriously because she took part in that dancing event in Portcullis house. It was unfair to call her unserious about that then and it is unfair of her to now suggest that MPs having a drink in between votes which take up all night is by default bad.

@mistressdivy @grok if hypothetically, one organization secretly collected all these scientists, what would they be building given all those different scientific fields?

The 11 disappearing scientists and their field of research: 1. Amy Eskridge - anti gravity propulsion and electrostatic propulsion systems 2. Michael Hicks - Earth space observation systems 3. Frank Maywald - planetary robotic systems 4. Anthony Chavez - research classified, clearance at Los Alamos National Lab 5. Monica Reza - orbital communication systems 6. Melissa Casias - research classified, high security clearance at Los Alamos National Lab 7. Steven Garcia - nuclear weapons engineer 8. Jason Thomas - chemical biology and experimental drug development 9. Nuno Loureiro - plasma physics and fusion science 10. Carl Grillmair - exoplanets, stellar streams and near earth objects 11. William McCasland - Director of Air Force Research Lab, hypersonics, directive energy systems, and advanced propulsion tech

@shawmakesmagic Eat the rich?

The government is not going to tax the rich to give to the poor End of discussion Now let’s have a real discussion like adults on how to solve this crisis

@ShelaghFogarty Combination of factors; British love of animals, majority of populace's indifference to horse racing, and the waste. Now, I'm sure there'd be more tolerance if the injured horses were eaten afterwards.

@snb19692 Should that read, "hiding in the far right corner of the park"?

Guess who I found hiding in the park by Parliament today! GB News hiding in far corner of park interviewing Alex Burghart Tory Shadow Minister for Northern Ireland. Eamon Holmes seemed a bit choked up about it🤣🤣🤣

@NormalIslandNws It's true. I heard it from a young, bearded local. Those hipsters don't lie.

@Number10cat Merry Christmas.

Wishing a very Merry Christmas to all of my friends celebrating around the world. Please reply with photos of cats enjoying presents/boxes/turkey/napping x

@JoeBangles11 @drhingram You just stopped her from gorging on multiple cheeses! How could you?!

Hi Helen. If your freezer is still working, you'll be able to save most of it. Nearly all hard cheeses and blue cheeses freeze very well. Wrap them in parchment paper and in a zip lock bag and freeze it. Defrost it in a fridge (providing you get it fixed or a new one by the time you want the cheese) and defrost it over 24-48hrs. The flavour profile won't change although the texture may become more crumbly, so not ideal if you want them for a standalone cheeseboard, but still perfect for all of your other cheese needs. Soft cheeses like brie/camembert can't be frozen but on the plus side, it means your dinner is sorted for later!

Woke up to find my fridge has broken and now I have to eat a tonne of Christmas cheeses before they go to waste 😭

@otokyo__ Kevin.

Can you think of a better name?

@SundaeDivine So, formal introduction first, then? 😀

If my cat does it, it’s okay. If you try it, it’s “who are you?” and “WHY ARE YOU NAKED!”

@Barrister79 @Helen_Fields Can I gently remind both of you that you're not getting paid for this argument 😀.? Can I also suggest deep breaths, alcohol of choice, and a dispassionate revisit of all that has been written in the hopes of some peace?

@Helen_Fields I don’t have different values to you. I don’t believe anyone should behave badly to students. That isn’t the point I’ve been making. But we can leave it there.

@Brick_Suit @JebraFaushay Typical, insular, US-centric attitude. It's because she's in the USA. If she moved to another country, there'd be a lower population density of assholes. Problem solved. 😀

@JebraFaushay Maybe, and hear me out on this, maybe she's the problem?

@floboflo In this weather, too!!!

This is the scene that awaited me when I tried to get on the train at Peckham North underground station. London is out of control

@BamaSaltyMarine Where do drunken pilots fall into this world view?

Lady: do you drink beer? Me: yes. Lady: how many per day? Me: 3. Lady: how much do you pay per beer? Me: $5 each including tip. Lady: how long have you been drinking? Me: about 20 years. Lady: 3 beers a day equates to $450 per month or $5,400 per year. In 20 years, that's $108,000. Me: sounds correct. Lady: did you know that if you put that money into a savings account, that after interest, you would have had enough money to buy a plane? Me: do you drink beer? Lady: no. Me: where's your fucking plane?

@rebeccabutlerm2 I think you'll find that the majority are on the sidelines, not giving a shit either way.

X is now divided along two fronts: 1/BBC made a genuine mistake, 2/BBC deceived the public. Which are you?

@jdpoc Album title: Did YOU let the dogs out?

I haven't figured out my band name but this is going to be our debut album cover.

@MorganScorpion @DreyfusJames Please specify if you're enquiring after adding sugar to the Ribena or to the stale urine. The ambiguity in your question has left me wondering where James's experimentation will lead. I think you owe it to science, to say the least.

@DreyfusJames 🙁

The BBC remind me of Ribena. Bear with me… Ribena once tasted delicious. Yes, it was packed with sugar, & probably not the go-to healthy choice, but it had a great taste & many loved it. There were PLENTY of low-sugar alternatives around. Then they changed the recipe ( to avoid paying the sugar tax), & it now has a flavour rather similar to what I imagine sour antelope urine tastes like. When I contacted Ribena to voice my objections, their response was “Many people enjoy the refreshing new taste, & our tests indicate a mostly positive response.” To which my reply was “Oh, FUCK OFF with your nonsense. It tastes MONSTROUS”, which, no doubt, endeared me to them, as one of their more reasonable, erudite ex-customers. The point is these people will ALWAYS circle the wagons, no matter what you think, do or say. They’re simply NOT interested.

@JohnSimpsonNews I assume that, if you're renowned for non-payment, it limits your choice/quality of representation.

Donald Trump’s demand for a billion dollars from the BBC comes from a local Florida law firm. It was sent to the wrong address, and the writer didn’t know what ‘salacious’ really means: ‘Due to their salacious nature, the fabricated statements that were aired by the BBC…’
