@slarkpope Damn. I need to know the answer to this???

what is the plural of "turn of phrase": turns of phrase or turns of phrases or turn of phrases or falafel?

@GemLeighton This is gorgeous. I love it. I am so, so sorry someone said something so ignorant, so wrong. Please don't let it put them off art.

My 6 year old daughter painted this amazing scene at an after school art club. Her art teacher told her she had done it wrong?! You can't do art wrong! She was so upset as art is her favourite thing to do. Can you please show Edie some support and like her painting?

I want Mick Lynch to be the UK Prime Minister. And I once was a conservative voter.

@daraobriain The rats are fleeing the ship that sunk a while ago but, Prime Minister Boris Johnson will "vow to carry on floating it regardless because it is time to focus on the issues at hand." BoJo et al need to fuck the fucking fuck right the fuck off.

We must be able to fit another metaphor into this, somehow.

@MarkHai65317291 @IanDunt Pair The Hunt with Tucker & Dale for a toptastic double billing!

@IanDunt The Hunt on Netflix promises to be really really bad, starts off that way, threatens to almost get ok in the middle but happily reverts to just really bad at the end. But for easy to watch lots of killing brain off fare it's perfect!

Right it's been a solid week of doomscrolling pretty much every waking minute. I need to watch a decent turn-your-brain off film tonight. Anyone seen anything good? Ideally crunchy action, something very arresting.

@KateSE4 @joelycett My mum's funeral was 28th January last year. Same thing. This whole deal has me more angry than I've ever been and I've never been more grateful for a comedian than @joelycett

@joelycett It's one year to the day since my mum's funeral - she, like your dear friend, declined and slipped away without her family being able to visit, or all of her friends/family at her funeral. And yes I'm exceedingly angry too. But this made me laugh so much - so thank you for that!

BREAKING: Leaked Sue Gray report reveals shocking abuse of the rules. Hard to see how the PM can cling on after this.

@lbelgray Hilarious!

I like to be consistent in spurts.

@AstoundedG @larleywilson @littlemaddles Sweetie. Sweetie. I know 'most men' have no interest, but that's the point. He would take an interest because SHE takes an interest. What does it cost to be attentive? Be like Gareth, My Love. Be like Gareth.

@larleywilson @littlemaddles I’m sorry, this is a step too far, most men really have no interest in nails at all. I thought that women knew this and just did them for other women to admire. I have honestly never heard a man say to another, “cor look at her amazing nails”. ⚽️😜

Gareth Southgate is the ultimate middle-aged crush. I just want him to drive me to a colonoscopy appointment then sit outside eating a scotch egg in dignified silence.

@AstoundedG @the_yamyam @littlemaddles Oh my poor love. You've been chasing the wrong women, that's all. Stay like Southgate and let the right lass reap the rewards.

@the_yamyam @littlemaddles I’m not sure at all about this, when I was a “lovely bloke” women treated me like shit. I think it’s the same as all those people who told McDonalds that they wanted salads and healthy options a decade ago but then never bought them and went for a Big Mac. 🤣

@dovere1 @littlemaddles I want England to win so, so much. I don't care about football - I just want decency to WIN, for once.

@littlemaddles This whole thread is making me a bit emotional. It’s as if the whole nation is desperate for a bit of decency , honesty and emotional maturity from the people in charge.

@westlondchelsea @littlemaddles And he will listen, possibly take notes, using pen and paper. And ask a couple of intelligent, clarifying questions and then say, 'Right. Got it.'

@littlemaddles I'm thinking that after reading this thread Mrs Southgate will be printing it out, stapling it to the kitchen cupboards, and then sitting down with Gareth saying, "we need to talk..."

@AirCanada @CanadiensMTL @ChefAntonioPark Please help - I don't know what else to do! I've tried everything...three times each. My refund is short. Error message. No case no. given. Bot cannot help. Nobody answers the phone. Tried for 3 days. PLEASE. I want my money back. Please help.

Get game ready and celebrate this 🇨🇦 sport moment with a @CanadiensMTL inspired “Kings of The North” cocktail by @ChefAntonioPark. A gin-based cocktail with hints of orange liqueur and lemons, topped with fresh Chai tea, served with a stick of cinnamon 😍 *Enjoy responsibly

@matthaig1 This. They don't have to buy it. What have they written that's brought hope and joy and benefit to others? I have loved all the books of yours that I've read. I don't have 'mental ill health' but I still find your writing lyrical, uplifting, fun and fabulous. Thank you, kind Sir.

A few folk having a time of it slagging off pages I posted of a book literally called The Comfort Book as if they wanted it to be Dostoyevsky or something. Wrote a book full of simple, easy, (hopefully) comforting things. Don’t get your pants in a twist. You don’t have to buy it.

@Amanda10854355 @stephenfry Are you a lawyer? From Texas?

@stephenfry Oh that is Oh so wrong

@iammaths @MichaelPDeacon @RaeSnape That would require self depreciating humour. Trumpet...with a big clanky gold trumpet icon perhaps?

@AssistNetwork @AnnStonehouse

If there are any teens/parents interested, please pass on. This course is aimed at the quieter/shy teen who wants to be heard.

I think I have Post Trump Stress Disorder. I cant stop crying, then, feeling ...hopeful and not worried. It's odd.
