Great evening in the very funny company of Map Men @jayforeman and @markcooperjones at @Waterstones Nottingham! See how Jay, on the right, is better lit. Looks like positions /do/ matter after all.

Perhaps unsurprisingly - this isn't getting the traction it deserves. Please help by retweeting if you care about learning lessons from the appalling mismanagement of the COVID19 epidemic in the UK. We had FIVE TIMES the death rate of East Asian countries.

@rorysutherland While you're at it, can you ban the deathtrap step up/down to the bathroom, and the automatic bathroom light extinguisher that triggers three minutes into my shower?

I'm going to launch a global hotel chain called Lumen. The USP is that every room has a bright light in the middle of the ceiling - like, um, every single normal room elsewhere - so you can actually see what you're fucking doing - or even read a book without using a torch.

@jayforeman Surfshark.

Trying to decide if ‘This Way Up’ the MAP MEN BOOK is for you? Reply with your favourite word, and we’ll tell you how many times it appears in the book. Eg. ‘map’ = 1,046 times. ‘Than’ = 214 times. The first person to suggest a word that appears just ONCE wins a free copy!

This is the correct way to respond when everybody catches the boss being inappropriate with one of his staff. #coldplay #astronomerCEO #AndyByron

@theAliceRoberts If I’m on a multi day trip by train and am therefore bringing a big bag, I’ve started carrying a camping stool. Just in case this happens to me again.

Needed to do some work on the train home so shelled out for a first class ticket. Where I’m sitting on the floor! Honestly, I travel the world by train and so many countries get it so right. Why can’t we? 😢

@theAliceRoberts Crescent. Belongs to Russian oligarch Igor Ivanovich Sechin

Mystery yacht in the marina at Tarragona… the big black one - it doesn’t appear on Marine Traffic… (should be in the crosshairs)

@theAliceRoberts "... hangin' out the passenger side of his best friend's ride, tryin' to holler at me." That's going to be stuck in my head for at least the rest of today now.

@TeamYouTube Folks! Please bring back the Movie Munchies channel. They've put in so much work to grow it into what it's become. It's one of my favourite channels! I'm sure, if you review their content, you'll see they didn't deserve a takedown. #SaveMovieMunchies

@theAliceRoberts Watch your wardrobe! (Yes, I made it a week ago and forgot to post it!)

I'm bringing CELL TO CIVILIZATION to Canada in May - Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Vancouver, Victoria, Edmonton and Calgary - and tickets are selling FAST! alice-roberts.co.uk/tour

@EM_RESUS Transporter malfunction.

Here’s a striking X-Ray that was sent to me with no clinical information What’s the diagnosis?

@EastMidRailway Hi folks, is there a reliable way of determining which coach(es) will have the most unreserved seats? (Given that I can use the Internet to check how many coaches in total there will be).

Please read this. It's literally been 8 years in the writing. The first wave of tech disruption of democracy 2016-2024 is over. What starts now is something much, much worse: the age of information chaos. 1/ theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

@theAliceRoberts Great.

@theAliceRoberts Just rebooting my Virgin box, which has lost its sound at the perfect moment 😡

Come on board! Pulling into the station right now…

@mralistairgreen Rarely has there been a finer opportunity to let AI use its imagination.

Is this true????

@fesshole Knife and fork. Unless I'm having it for breakfast the following morning, in which case it gets microwaved and handheld.

I always eat pizza with a fork and knife when I'm alone, but when I'm with others, I grudgingly use my hands to avoid the judgment.

@theAliceRoberts So I handed it over to AI with the prompt "going for a walk".

I’m calling this piece of art “What Happens If You Do Circuit Training At The Gym But Tell Your Apple Watch You’ve Been For A Walk”.

@nottslive Finally had enough of your endless clickbait leading to nothing articles. "Unusual emergency" = some litter. Bye bye.

@theAliceRoberts It starts bad, then it gets better and better as it learns about you, and eventually it becomes boring!
