@KonstantinKisin @robkhenderson @mr_james_c “Delicious” is surely often an opinion and not always a fact.

@robkhenderson @mr_james_c The problem with this is that McDonald's is, in fact, utterly disgusting.

Bill Maher says something completely inoffensive, that McDonald's is delicious, and his panel acts as if he has just dropped a bombshell piece of information. Part of assimilation into upper middle class norms is to pretend fast food isn't delicious.

Bound to get my knighthood next week. Can’t wait 👊

@jackie_simonini The most beautiful grain - apart, of course, from faded ash.

@Bottbooks @richardosman Ghost written, I believe, by the late Peter Lapsley.

@richardosman And as a bookseller, we still get asked for the book. Usually by people who think we’ve never heard the joke before. We have to explain the reference to younger staff

I sometimes think that the JR Hartley advert might be the greatest work of art ever produced in Britain. Happy to hear alternative choices.

@CA_TimB @Minette_Batters The government could gain respect from many by being honest enough to admit a misjudgment. Naive perhaps but possibly winningly refreshing to break that sacred and unintelligent mould.

Great piece from @Minette_Batters including a very important point - the government did not set out to attack family farms. A short thread on why this matters and how it impacts on trying to find a resolution 🧵1/n countrylife.co.uk/comment-opinio…

@soursillypickle @elonmusk State pension should be based on minimum wage for standard year (say 48wks x 35hrs) and this should also define tax threshold.

Wow, Germany carries a lot of the cost of the EU!

@Rocolovesjesus @basilthegreat Or intelligence? Let’s keep religion out of it.

@basilthegreat Muscular Christianity is the only hope.

Who do I vote for to stop this? ✋

@baggottsilver @WarGit They’ve cut most everything out that’s antique!!

@WarGit Imagine the stuff they’ve got in the archives??!!! Why not show complete early episodes in full (recent “anniversary” repeats on BBCFour show they’ve got them). Sadly I suspect I know why. They’ve cut everything out which features any antique ivory (quite a lot). 😞

Getting a bit tired of the BBC Antiques Roadshow YouTube account just taking the same clips and re-cutting them into different compilations. Pretty much everything in this has been round the block three or four times already. youtube.com/watch?v=NratYn…

@SnookerHQ Additionally 109, 89 & 59 from Trump!!!!! What a match.

"Si has lost all six of his prior meetings against Trump, and one suspects that he might have to come up with something special to break that miserable streak here." Breaks of 147, 144, 108, 81, 71, and 61 to win 6-2. #SomethingSpecial

@georgecmcgavin @gow_derek Just how long is it going to take for government and consumers to open their eyes to this abhorrent industry? Surely there should be no amount of money that justifies the disgraceful animal welfare abuses. And that’s before one takes the demise of the wild salmon into account.

@baggottsilver I did that with a very rare and very early piece of metal. Intending to go to 600 quid (probably more!), I tuned in in plenty of time. Much to my horror they were already 10 lots past “mine”. Luckily, defying all logic, I’d left £100 bid when I first spotted it. I bought it!

Blast. Missed a lot because of a big gap in the lot numbers which i hadn’t noticed. My own fault, should always checked, but why do some auctioneers still do this?!

@SnookerHQ Without doubt one of the most watchable players - immaculate timing!

@baggottsilver @YouTube Very entertaining!

@DeborahMeaden Why should there not be an honour system so that those who don’t need it can opt out?

I should not get winter fuel allowance. Lots of people should not get winter fuel allowance…lots should. A universal scheme was wrong . I’m not sure what the threshold should be but it should be means tested.

@teddybear_inc @DeborahMeaden This should also determine the tax threshold!

@DeborahMeaden I think any pensioner that has a total income less than the living wage should probably get it which is around 22k annually before tax, which is probably the fairest way to do it......

@TSnooker102 History will tell

@Lloyd_Patrick You are

Todays final will decide wether this tournament is a major or not. If Williams wins I think people will accept it as a major. If Trump wins there's absolutely no way people accept the major status.

@TSnooker102 Wrong!

@Lloyd_Patrick It can be earned with a big enough main prize

@TonyDartmoor @NaturalEngland So much for “guardians of the countryside”!
