@zulu_ndabezitha @Mageba_wav Just good old cuppa tea type sugar

@ardernrad @Mageba_wav How strong sugar must be?

Honey isn’t available, what are you topping these pancakes with ?

@historyinmemes Anyone who only watched the first 5 seconds- that was Not the bear’s paws around his throat like I initially thought 🙄

Watch as a polar bear spends 45 minutes attempting to break into the glass enclosure of a BBC cameraman in 2013.

@lorrainesplace Dear god. I’m going to say something really bitchy now but I can cos, I have long grey hair. Maybe Penny will be able to afford a hairdresser now

Another mistake by the CEO of NZ. A big boo to this one.

@we_dollar Me too

@ardernrad With everything going on in the world I've found it difficult to get excited about this launch.

The 4 spacesuits cost, according to Where Politics Meets History, 3.5 billion US$ 😳😬😳

@TheFigen_ You have to be very careful about touching the head in some cultures eg Māori in Aotearoa New Zealand

I think it would be great if every school made activities like this mandatory.

Nobody actually knows where April Fools' Day came from. 🎭 But the best theory involves Britain, a Pope, and eleven days that simply ceased to exist. For over 1,600 years Europe ran on the Julian calendar. Created by Julius Caesar. New Year fell on 1 April around the spring equinox. In 1582 Pope Gregory XIII said the calendar had drifted ten days from the actual solar year. He introduced the Gregorian calendar. New Year moved to 1 January. 📅 France switched immediately. Most of Catholic Europe followed. Britain refused. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 For 170 years. When Britain finally gave in during September 1752, eleven days had to be removed to correct the drift. 2 September was followed immediately by 14 September. Eleven days. Gone. People rioted in the streets demanding them back. Meanwhile, not everyone got the memo about the new New Year. People who kept celebrating on 1 April were mocked. Sent on pointless errands. Called April Fools. 🐦 In Scotland it was called Hunting the Gowk. Gowk means cuckoo. A symbol for an idiot. In 1957 the BBC ran a straight-faced news report about the Swiss spaghetti harvest. Farmers harvesting spaghetti strands from trees. Thousands called in asking where to buy one. The BBC told them to plant a sprig in a tin of tomato sauce and hope for the best. 🍝 All because Britain refused to change the date. This is your history. 🇬🇧 This channel exists because people like you chose to make it happen. Thousands of stories like this one are waiting to be told. Battles won. Names forgotten. History that belongs to all of us but gets told to none of us. If you want to be part of keeping it alive: proudofus.co.uk/support 🇬🇧 Drop your best April Fools joke in the comments 👇 Or tell us what you've got planned today! Be Part Of Us. Be Proud Of Us. 🇬🇧

@Kaz_zom @TansuYegen Can we eat barnacle meat? If not, why not?

@TansuYegen What are barnacles and how did they get stuck on the ship?

Keeping a ship clean means taking off barnacles so it can move smoothly and stay efficient ⛴️

Please make sure your enrolled and details correct & urge family members to do the same

@beansi50 I don’t even know what boosting is 😳

All This "Boosting" 🐎💩 Is A FUCKING Pain In The Ass. I fell for it yet again. I DON'T WANT FOLLOWERS JUST FOR THE SAKE OF Numbers . If you don't have anything to say, then don't bother following me. Cause I have PLENTY To Say & if you don't, then just go do Facebook.

@OomBlinx @OKnox @fakehistoryhunt Yep a whole world now where nobody has to do a stop and restart on a hill using clutch and brake!

@OKnox @fakehistoryhunt another equivalent to this: how to shift gears in a car.

I am a million years old.

@E__Strobel @OKnox That’s very interesting. I had piano but not typing. But having to play an organ with (foot) pedalboards was such a proud accomplishment in mid life!

I half believe that learning to type on a manual typewriter is why I’ve never been able to play piano. The entire pathway between eye-brain-hand becomes rigged to process keys serially, not in parallel. For me, sitting at the piano is like plugging a parallel printer into a serial port… you’d literally have to rewire something to make it work, and even then it would never work properly.

@JM4LISD @OKnox My class had to do French instead of typing. Guess which one I’ve needed more in 40 years of teaching English!

I am so old I had to argue with high school administration to be allowed to take a typing class. (1) I was a boy, and typing was for girls. (2) I was on a college prep 'track' and typing was scheduled for 'business' track students. And yes, we had manual typewriters in HS typing class. In which we mastered typing in the first 8 weeks (I earned an "A" ) then were expected to learn the etiquette and structure of letters, footnotes, indexes, etc in the remaining weeks. BORING. Grades dropped to a "C".

@OKnox @TomSpears1 Telling my kids we all queued to use a phone somewhere in Turkey in 1984 to call Australia and New Zealand because the phone kept, for some reason, returning the tokens…

@TomSpears1 My kid listened raptly when I described college-age me waiting until 11 pm to call friends long-distance.

@gingerandmilo It was also rude. Trying to upstage Willis. Eyebrow raising and sleazy grins to someone else while she was taking. Then turning round to check he had an audience. What’s going on?

WTF is wrong with Luxon, making faces in parliament, looks like he's lost someone?????????

@indie_pixel 😂

@ardernrad I’ve got 3 big ones so they aren’t very impressed right now lol

Little toots 3 siblings have been found. Tossing up if I foster them too. I think it would be good for him but man… 4?!?

@Suzyiam Staff room got told this, this morning - part of plan to keep schools open! Principal could barely keep a straight face.

🤣😂🤣😂🤣 The Govt is going to start giving us tips for saving petrol "They will give practical tips for how that can be achieved." eg. that switching off idling cars can save on fuel Apparently Nicola Willis doesn't think NZers know switching the car off will save fuel 😂

@Tauranga2020 @Feebeekiwi @liedmyway2top *too

@Tauranga2020 @Feebeekiwi @liedmyway2top Often no name or demographic. ‘people’. NW does it to. And ES re education! They’re all at it

What I’d say to you is the reason I’m polling poorly as preferred PM is because I’m actually the CEO of NZ inc. As CEO I’m hitting the phones hard ringing 2-3 leaders over the weekend, including the President of Europe and signing off on our response and that takes 20 hrs a day
