@timstillman_ I agree, but also wary of quoting this to city friends in fear of “but what about net spend”, “we’re just better at selling”, “but Arsenal have spent this…”. For me just another reminder that the premier league is silly – and that the 115 charges will likely never surface.

We allow this to wash over us but the fact that Arsenal are *expected* to win the league otherwise they are massive bottlers / failures just shows you how good a job Arteta has done. Drives me nuts when people (largely externally) have sky high expectations but then try to divorce the reason (ie, the manager has done an incredible job of creating those expectations).

@NaveedAhmadAfd Hi Naveed. Thanks so much for your message! It was such a pleasure to do research and learn about your great-grandfather as part of this @26characters and @IWM_Centenary project. He was such an inspiration.

@PreeceOfficer I just read this beautiful poem, and I’m truly moved. The words capture so much depth and emotion. It resonates deeply with me, especially as my great-grandfather, Mir Dast Afridi, who was awarded the Victoria Cross at the 2nd Battle of Ypres, remains an inspiration. Thank you!

It was a pleasure to research such an amazing story. Here’s a link to my poem below #26Armistice

@AupJack Good luck 🤞

@asburyandasbury “Here are the five steps to ineffable creativity…” etc. I’m completely with you on this one.

Fwiw, I think it’s going to be hard for copywriters to continue playing both sides. I say lean into the ineffable creativity part (hooray) and stop telling clients that creative brand writing can be codified into five spreads of guidelines. Day-to-day writing maybe. Creative, no.

Copywriters: here is a TOV system that defines your verbal personality, breaks it into specific rules with dos & don’ts, plus a key word list and before/after examples. Also copywriters: AI will never replace the ineffable mystery and irreducible human creativity of what we do.

@jolilford But the donuts had to be worth it, right?

@josephcorcoran You have 60 minutes to make a drink... reminds me of my first ever school food tech lesson

This year I’m pleased to say I read 34 ‘must-read books’ lists 📚

@nickparker Welcome to ‘SEO content’ 🌎

@timiswriting Love this! 💫

I always take great inspiration from this when starting a new brand naming project

@KittyBeau Haha I got it!

Matt Hancock going on I’m a Celeb just shows how invincible these people feel. His actions have caused people so much pain. And now he thinks he can waltz into the jungle to win over millions of viewers. Nah mate. The ego and detachment is unreal. Into the rat pit every week.

So I was Googling whether people refer to single pieces of spaghetti as ‘strands’ and spaghett–WHAT? 🍝

@timiswriting Mine’s a farrow and ball colour. Breakfast Room Green. I actually looked up the HEX colour code, the little sad man that I am 😅

Really, one should decorate one’s digital home with the finest, non?

Why, Tim, how do you afford those exquisite de Gournay wallpapers on your Twitter header? 🤫

@Cattacombs Yeah I had a big bench 🤦🏻‍♂️. Bailey disappointing too and looks like Buendia might step in. But you’re right - who else? Still v early days

I got lucky in Gameweek 2 and jumped up to 70k. My points total after two Gameweeks is closer to 5 millionth overall than 1st overall. Not getting carried away, it's just a solid start.

Beer is an aperitif. Discuss.

Game changer.

@smallislandtale Oh absolutely. Perhaps you get a choice of how you want them ground. Or maybe even turned into a paste!

Yes to both.

@beccamagnus Hope you’re back to your best very soon, Becca! ❤️‍🩹
