6yo enjoyed learning about famous scientists in @sciencemuseum "20 top scientists" game. And I *love* that half are women. @LetToysBeToys

@Clairebear0163 @the_traitors_ Yes, it was too weird that there was a single "volunteer" in each carriage and not a single one of the carriages drew lots (the only fair way to decide).

@the_traitors_ I think we absolutely will see them again and I wouldn’t be surprised if they were tasked to ‘sacrifice’ themselves before they even got on the train for some reason. Expect the unexpected this year!

Do you think we’ll be seeing these Faithfuls again? 🤔 #TheTraitors #TheTraitorsUK

@Lifeguard50 Fortunately I'm still off work until next week, otherwise it *would* feel like Monday tomorrow!

@KatEllis37 Haha 😂😂 I can’t get my head in order either 😂😂

About 20times today I’ve thought it was Monday tomorrow 🤪

FUCK

@pnwswiftie_13 @sophrossbrooks Jolly good. I had my first at 37. Fell pregnant immediately and trouble-free pregnancy and birth. Followed by three miscarriages over the next nine years. So. You never know.

@sophrossbrooks My obgyn said that women are having kids in their 40s and it's perfectly fine and healthy.

*arriving home from honeymoon* woman in elevator: where were you 2?! me: our honeymoon:) her: congrats! and how old are you? me: 30 & 32:) her: oh wow. very late in life. good luck having kids. it’s going to be difficult at your age. me: oh that’s not- her: it’s true.

@LinguistJosh I guess times change as I'm sure I'd have been the same. But I had my one and only at 37. It kinda scares me how adult I was by the time my parents were my age, and how old I'll be by the time she's left school.

@fesshole The disorganised people with more money than sense? Why?

I open Christmas and birthday cards from people who sent them with first class stamps first, and put them in a better place on the mantlepiece.

Final run of the year was a very slow tourist run at @medinaparkrun. That's 555.67 miles run in 2024. #loveparkrun #Run2024 #ukrunchat

Managed to get out for a Christmas Eve run, taking me to 552.56 miles run so far this year. Hope to squeeze in another #parkrun before the end of #Run2024. #ukrunchat

@ask_aubry They've described "toxic masculinity".

And who are the ones in all the Alpha Bros chats? Who are the ones judging men for not being masculine enough? In addition, if he's right then why do conservative men lie in their dating bios about their politics if liberal women only want traditional men?

@amwilson_opera @Retrocanary @LabourParty Same for me (French to degree level). I mean "subjunctive"? Come on!!

@Retrocanary @LabourParty Oh yes, we picked up most of our knowledge of grammar from foreign languages.

How about, instead of making it more difficult to study languages, the @LabourParty do something useful and bring back the compulsory language GCSE. They scrapped that too.

@IBrasso 🤔

@IBrasso What is that? Some sort of AI summary of your twitter output?

@vitt2tsnoc @EllieCumbo Literally found out last night at about 9:30pm that our Monday collection had moved to today. By chance saw the local busybody post it in our local FB group.

UK at Christmas

Struggled to get legs moving today at @oakhillparkrun. That's 547.43 miles run so far this year. #loveparkrun #Run2024 #ukrunchat

@TorquilMacneil @K_IngalaSmith @janeclarejones Let's maybe start with making sure these incidents are called out/reported.

@KatEllis37 @K_IngalaSmith @janeclarejones I suppose we could revisit some sentencing guidelines, but sea change?

Hearing, as we did after the murder of Sarah Everard, that the reaction to the multiple rapes of Giselle Pelicot will lead to a sea change in responses to men’s violence against women. Except there was no sea change after the murder of Sarah Everard. And I am reminded that in the UK, a donkey sanctuary receives more in donations than 4 of the largest charities supporting women victim-survivors of men’s violence.

@TorquilMacneil @K_IngalaSmith @janeclarejones I've seen a push to take "lesser" crimes more seriously. So many women brush off minor sexual aggressions, but the perpetrators of the most horrendous crimes (such as this) often "start small" or get caught doing something less serious (such as upskirting in this case).

@K_IngalaSmith @janeclarejones It's hard to see what the change would be. Nearly everyone already thinks this was an appalling crime that should be prevented or punished.

@hangonjames1967 @pitchblacksteed When we watched this with our 14yo a few months ago, she decided to talk over the final scene. I was devastated. She'll never again have the opportunity to watch one of the greatest TV moments for the first time.

@pitchblacksteed my daughter (13) describes yesterday history at school ( xmas week) We watched a film ( film?) with the man who plays Mr Bean about the war He had his pants on his head Me. Alice youve ignored one of the greatest 30 mins in tv history 🤬

@MoneySavingExp I discovered years ago when travelling with a baby and specifically did *not* want "quiet carriage", that it wasn't possible to specify "not quiet carriage" when booking.

Many people will be travelling by train this weekend to see their families for the festive period. 🚂 So we want to know when you're booking your seats, which type of carriage do you usually go for (if the option's there)?
