Yes, in five minutes

By age 35, you should be SMART enough to realize these 11 things: 1. Stay silent, you don't need to say EVERYTHING.

@BBCArchive That may be my favourite ever TV news report.

1975: Is this football’s loudest fan? Nationwide paid a visit to Burscough Athletic in the Cheshire League to meet a 46-year-old fan with a reputation for making himself heard.

@nathanchalky @StevePeers @RobDotHutton It's not an assumption. We have in R2 three that are heavier. If two of them then balance in R3, the one we made the odd man was the one who caused them to be heavier as a threesome. He is therefore the heavy one.

@KimFletcher @StevePeers @RobDotHutton You're assuming the odd man is heavier again.

@StevePeers @nathanchalky @RobDotHutton It does, for if the 3X3 of R2 identifies the 7th man as the outlier, R3 weighs him against one other. If R2 gives us a threesome that is heavier, then R3 1X1 either identifies the heavier or - if they balance - it's clearly the third guy who made the threesome heavier in R2.

@nathanchalky @RobDotHutton If the outlier emerges in either of the first two rounds weigh the outlier against any other man. If the outlier emerges in the third round then it doesn't work.

@BeardyHowse @henryspil Yes. Dolly Fletcher would not have delivered them without almond.

@henryspil Ah, yes they sound good with almond. Without, might they not be a little bland?

Kew. What exactly are Maids of Honour?

@BeardyHowse They were a great speciality of my late grandmother, who turned out immaculate ones.

@BeardyHowse I fear some parts of London are too impoverished to afford York stone.

It looks better in a photo than in life, but this paving of small dull concrete slabs, even in good repair, detracts from the housing instead of enhancing it. Lowndes Place, London SW1.

@MartinRowson @TheBJReview And what a thing of joy that article is, as you'll see at the start of September.

@alastairjam Such a pleasure to work with Bill at the Sunday Telegraph - always a wry smile and so generous with his time. A warm, kindly man to a home news team that didn't "get" business, he made everything seem so effortless, whatever tensions were rising by the end of each week.

Most importantly to me, he was a forgiving father who never talked me out of following him into the exciting if impecunious world of journalism. His study still smells of tobacco and deadlines and he is missed so very, very much. /5

My incredibly talented, kind and generous dad, Bill Jamieson, has died in hospital after a battle with cancer. Mum and I are heartbroken. He was a lifelong and respected journalist. /1

@Jam_Bake Sorry, I mistook you for a security guy.

In the office this morning and on the way in someone mistook me for an LSE student and asked me the way to “our uni bookshop”! Thirty one and still got it! 😂

@hugodrayton @HastingsDirect Now we are ON TENTERHOOKS.

@HastingsDirect Let's see if you are able to do that

@hastingsdirect - you are utterly hopeless time wasters. your phone system is appalling. PLEASE confirm to me that you have CANCELLED my policy H9473931-1 from 30 Jan 2020 - DO NOT RENEW

@beckymbarrow @peterbrookes @thetimes Though Morten Morland deserves the credit today.

This is brilliant (or, as Jennifer Arcuri would say, it’s “fake news”). @peterbrookes in @thetimes today.

@VictoriaPeckham A brother and I spent a day knocking on pub doors in Sheffield asking if they had an empty Dimple bottle. They didn't. So we never did learn thrift.

@HenryCPorter Aaronovitch

The BBC faces an "existential threat" not just from streaming services but from journalistic failure. People don't want to have to abandon trusted programmes. BBC's Today programme sheds 800,000 listeners theguardian.com/media/2018/aug…

@AllisonCalhoun1 That is so terrifying.

@surreyteachmeet @Tilly_Fletcher All I recall is an elderly man pressing latest scores last night, a sorry frown on his sad, wrinkled face.

In case you thought there was no joy left in journalism... twitter.com/thebjreview/st…

Started learning from Don Macintyre 37 years ago. Haven't stopped. twitter.com/thebjreview/st…

@Tilly_Fletcher But IS it irrational? I did the police calls when I was a cub reporter.
