@FrankLuntz @jbendery No, a service with the veneration of the cross and communion with hosts consecrated the previous day. But not Mass.

@jbendery Do Catholics traditionally have mass on Good Friday? 🤔

NEW: The Pentagon today invited more than 3,500 employees to attend a Good Friday service at its in-house chapel. Except it’s only for Protestants, not Catholics. huffpost.com/entry/news-liv…

@PhilLambell Fiftieth anniversary next year! I imagine The Guardian's foreign desk are already toiling away on a special.

Happy San Serriffe National Day to all who celebrate

@CL_Meadows Aw, Wiz! ❤️ I don't know why you put up with her!

Big thanks to Medivet Faringdon for fast and decisive action today in seeing, scanning and diagnosing the dog with an infection which is causing an enlarged prostate, all by 2pm. He’s now on medication with a good prognosis. Apparently he was ‘an angel’ while he was having the scan. Wonders never cease.

Now imagine you're an apple, a pear, a plum, a strawberry, an orange, a cake, an ice cream, a pickle, cheese, salami, a lollipop, a cherry pie, a sausage, a cupcake, a watermelon, or a green leaf. Not so happy, is it

@Kitkat_1216 Sorry to hear that. Genuinely don't understand why anyone would act in that way.

@TimHamblinShale Can't lie a few have stung.

I have to say, this post has blown up, and only 4 arseholes have replied with some disgusting replies. I'd say that's a win lol

@JNPhillips4 More of a push than a shove. I wonder if Parling would have pushed/swore had Doyle not brightly stuck the microphone towards him and asked the asinine question about signing MacDevitt?

I completely get why Geoff Parling was annoyed here. TNT had no clearance for this and he’s protecting his players but I don’t think he should have shoved Craig Doyle like that. Whether you think Doyle is annoying or not, I don’t think that’s right.

@mariana057 This is one of those issues where the focus may need to be shifted from the quality to the quantity...

Which wine pairs best with finding out my in-laws are staying a day longer than I thought??

My son is Autistic, and he is obsessed with hockey arenas, not hockey, hockey arenas. He wants to visit one every weekend, then comes and draws them for hours at home. If anyone has pics of hockey rinks please share, and supply the name. It would make my 5 year old so happy!

@Kitkat_1216 Telford ice rink, Shropshire, UK. Home of Telford Tigers. Pic: Telford and Wrekin Council. Lovely to see so many photos in replies. Happy drawing!

@organicplantsuk @bertsbooks Great series of books!

What's everyone reading this weekend?

@poochiewalker @bertsbooks Just about to start The Wrong Hands, same author. Then debut author Lucy Andrew's A Very Vexing Murder, a cosy crime novel set in the world of Jane Austen's Emma with Harriet Smith as a con artist turned investigator!

@bertsbooks An old Mark Billingham, From the Dead.

@serendi04728279 @but_cyclists Hardly the most brilliant place to put a parking bay, admittedly, but the car driver is the one crossing the give way line so IMHO that's where the responsibility lies.

@but_cyclists The question should arise: who should give way, since the near side lane narrows before the right-hand side street? The lorry or the car? The lorry is seen crossing slightly into the oncoming side. At fault? The car should wait until the lorry passes? At fault?

A trained and licensed motorist fails to spot a cyclist after they come out of nowhere dressed all in black with no high vis or lights

@historigins The little ruff of the cap, though...❤️

Be kind for no reason, it costs nothing and means everything

@GBNEWS That would be dynamite from a CofE bishop. However...

@InsideLucysHead Good gag! I first read it when Johnson was PM, but it may well predate his time. A little classic of its type.

Keir Starmer visited a remote little rural village and asked the inhabitants what his government could do for them... “We have two big needs,” said a village spokesman, “First, we have a hospital but no doctor.” Keir whipped out his iPhone, spoke for a while and then said, “I have sorted it out. Let me be clear, a doctor will arrive here tomorrow, you have my word. What is your other need?” “We have no mobile phone reception at all in our village.”

@RARoberts1958 @SimoninSuffolk And don't get lost in the cellar amid the sheet music!

@SimoninSuffolk @TimHamblinShale Allow plenty of time in there

I'm back up north in a couple of weeks. Ripon, then Carlisle and Dumfries, and Hexham if there's time. I've never been to Ripon or Dumfries before. Apart from the obvious - Ripon and Carlisle Cathedrals, Fountains and Hexham Abbeys, Carlisle Castle - what shouldn't I miss?

@Vulcan01 @suespeaksup @toniwriter No problem, thanks for the reply. I'm genuinely baffled as to how and why the 'No Easter on the packaging' myth has taken hold when it's demonstrably not true.

@TimHamblinShale @suespeaksup @toniwriter Thanks Tim. It’s a very small token gesture.

Cadbury eggs stacking up on shelves… reduced everywhere… and still no one’s buying. People can taste the difference. Cheaper ingredients, palm oil, higher prices it’s not the same chocolate anymore. Consumers aren’t stupid. They’ve just stopped buying it!!

@Vulcan01 @suespeaksup @toniwriter

@suespeaksup @toniwriter And they don’t have Easter printed on the packaging. You have shot yourselves in both feet here Cadburys. Bye bye. A former Cadbury Chocaholic.
