Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

@Lucy_Worsley Yes yes yes

Is it correct to serve bread and butter pudding with custard?

@leeinthelakes @WildHaweswater @WildLakeland @WWTworldwide @Natures_Voice @cumbriawildlife @BeaverTrust @lowthercastle Yes this is a real issue all over the country, there are also so many old clay drainage pipes under the surface. Also an issue when you come to do tidal managed realignment as water travels both ways in these ancient systems.

@deelomas Exactly. A staycation used to be when you stayed at home.

What’s a ‘new’ word that you fvcking hate? Mine is ‘staycation’. I’ve never known such a bollocky word in all my days. When we were kids we didn’t go abroad but we did go on holiday - up to the lakes, or to Devon or Cornwall or the Broads. It was a fvcking holiday. A. HOLIDAY.

@joevansstc Beautiful, go girl

Am I too old at 58 for this length? OK with tights and boots?

@griffitha @SciTechgovuk Pulling us out of the EU and stopping ERASMUS was two of the biggest blocks to academia in the UK. So much funding and opportunities lost.

Huge concern across the UK research sector that under Labour the Treasury is looking to cut R&D spending. Ominous that @SciTechgovuk no longer committed to the Conservative mantra to make the UK a Science and Technology Superpower. Plus cancelling AI and Supercomputer.

@implausibleblog Why do people even listen to him?

Robert Jenrick says that if we leave the ECHR and cap migration, we can grow our economy, strengthening our defences and fix our NHS In 2016 they told us leaving the EU would fix all these problems Between 2016 and 2024 we had a Brexit Conservative government which made all these problems worse The problem isn't asylum seekers or legal migrants to our country, the problem is underfunding of public services by the Conservative party since 2010 Robert Jenrick was first an MP in 2014, he's been at it for 10 years so far and the problems have only worsened under his watch

I will be giving a key note at the "Next Steps for Tackling Flooding' in January 2025. Should be a great conference. @wfpevents

Prof @StuartMcLelland features in this @EnvAgency #FloodActionWeek film on collaboration for better #floodresilience. We can simulate river and tidal flows & waves at our @UniofHull Total Environment Simulator to help understand adaptations to flooding & environmental impacts.

@patrick_barkham Plant them amongst brambles. This will prevent the young saplings being nibbled (although might give you a few scratches).

I’m planting acorns for a secret project which will hopefully leave a beautiful oaken legacy. Do those of you who’ve grown oaks from seed have any tips? Pot size/water/etc. What’s the success rate - one in two or better? I’ve netted my pots to hopefully repel mice.

@powell_peter You find this frequently on intertidal areas.

Oil pollution! Or is it? Sometimes this oil like sheen. Can be the result of iron bacteria. You can tell the difference by breaking up the surface. If it breaks into platelets, it is bacteria. Oil will reform into full layer. Below is bacteria👇

@FloodSkinner @GeomorphicJosh Agree

We have to get a grip of these university approved travel suppliers. What are we paying for? Emailed a request over a week ago, chased, chased, and chased again. Resolved the issue myself in the airport for free when the supplier was going to charge🤦‍♂️ absolute joke

@SteveBackshall @channel5_tv Bee sick from your own bees always tastes best.

Backshall’s Bee sick. The kids came up with the name, and I cannot fault them for their biological accuracy. I can also report that there has never been a more yummy honey in my tummy. #aspiringapiarists #blossomingbeekeepers @channel5_tv

@davidjnash You will have to show me

I have just discovered the new 'Morph' slide transition mode on PowerPoint. My life has changed immeasurably. Yes, I know.

@implausibleblog Without FoM, returning to single market this is pointless.

Keir Starmer, "Ursula and I have agreed that we can do more together in a few key areas in particular" "Promoting growth and prosperity.. Working together on shared challenges like climate change.. Energy security.. Illegal migration... Strengthening our shared security and stability" "We're putting our relationship with Europe on a more solid, stable, footing" "That's what the British people want, a return to pragmatic sensible leadership, when it comes to dealing with our closest neighbours" "Because the British people know this matters for growth, for jobs and for security" "The detailed work to take this forward starts now" "We've agreed to hold regular UK-EU Summits.. At leader level to review progress.. Starting with a summit in the first half of next year" "Of course there will be issues that will be difficult to resolve" "There will be no return to Freedom of Movement.. No return to the Customs Union.. No return to the Single Market" What a disappointment

@SimonCalder Took the bordeaux tram last week, agree very easy to get into centre and frequent too.

Airport links. Your views on poor surface connections came fast and furious. Little love for Leeds Bradford and Glasgow bus links. Dublin is Europe's biggest airport with no rail connection. Cork also criticised. But praise for Bordeaux's new airport tram. independent.co.uk/travel/news-an…

@NH4Europe Yep could not agree more

Taking back control in #BrexitBritain: 'mum says her daughter's dream of studying abroad has been made "impossible" by #Brexit rules and red tape' manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-m…

Why did U.K. media ignore the @MarchForRejoin but international media @WIONews @AFP and @Newsflare covered it?

This is my view on the press going full 90s tabloid on the new Labour government. In my view, the media is the biggest barrier to Britain having a functioning democracy. I’ve said this for 4 years, the only reason I even started making videos was because of their overt bias.
