@Imy_85 @robertfenech @VictoriaCoren Your side/my side. Game changer.

I’m not saying I’m embarrassed about tonight’s #Taskmaster, but if anyone fancied starting a thread of really simple things they just happen not to be able to do, I reckon I would find it reassuring. Making toast? Telling the time? Doing shoes up?

#OnThisDay in #Germany: In 1990, the demolition of the Berlin Wall officially begins on Bernauer Strasse. 🏗️🔨 #OTD #Germanhistory #history #Berlin #GDR

Beneath the Humber Bridge.

@MooseAllain Inside of a greenhouse. Tomato vine and geraniums particularly. Grandad and great aunt respectively.

I would love to visit a museum of smells.

Yup.

@CrookedNuts Yep. Forever business geese now. I’m direct contrast to their Galoise smoking, nihilistic layabout counterparts...

I found out the other day that "penguin" in Mandarin Chinese is literally "business goose" and I haven't been able to think about anything else since.

@StephenRMoore This is so sad. That night at the RFH was such unbridled joy. Pracatan baby!

RIP Margarita. Seeing her perform at the Royal Festival Hall many years ago brought me much joy.

@emmaphanby @dbush Something to do with Scarborough...? 🤷‍♀️

@emallery @dbush How were we ever friends?

Just spent too much time putting these in order of most to least favourite.

@dbush @emmaphanby Ooh. Contraversial.

@emmaphanby Pink Wafer in last place.

@emmaphanby @dbush Viennese whirl, obv. Jammie Dodger =vile, bottom of the pile. Jam sandwich cream, on the other hand....Pink wafer, garabaldi, bourbon, malted milk, rich tea and nice all tying in an impossible heap.

@dbush Pink wafer or jammy dodger for first place?

@GraemePatfield I will. Until futher notice.

@GraemePatfield Quite. The sign (like the pub) no longer exists. Hasn’t existed for about 6 years. It doesn’t help.

@NickMotown All the time. And the mashed carrot/swede which was “just carrot”.

@GraemePatfield @b3ta I am SO OLD

@StephenRMoore That is brilliant! Ha!

Hmm. Not sure about this Vincent van Gogh doll, as spotted in the Van Gogh Museum. #detachableear

@StephenRMoore Aww...sorry to hear that. He was a cutesie x

RIP KitKat, our sweet neighbourhood puss. He didn’t belong to us, but he spent a lot of time in our house, and we’re going to miss him. Nobody knows exactly how old he was, but we think he must have been 18 or thereabouts so he certainly had a good innings.

@emmaphanby My sixth form tutor was called Drusilla. Never knew which made me more uncomfortable, calling her that or the other option available to me - Mrs Peach.

@TeacherToolkit I worked for years in a school where students from year 7 called us by our first names. It made for great relationships with pupils, they knew who was teacher and student but no generic 'sir' or 'miss' where we are almost faceless. I liked it.

Should Pupils Call Teachers By Their First Name? buff.ly/2I50Nik

Please please please Let me, let me, let me Let me get my kimchi This time

Christmas still to do list: - Everything
