Should this be part of Trump‘s next cognitive test?🤷‍♀️

Watching the spacecraft splashdown 😁

Tunnocks got the sponsorship deal again I see

Queen BUMBLEBEES - HELP THEM OUT! A vital thread concerning bumblebee queens at this time of year! Please #retweet/#share. EVERY QUEEN BUMBLEBEE THAT SURVIVES GETS TO ESTABLISH A NEST which otherwise would not happen. Let me explain. 1/11 #bees #help #love #nature #bumblebees

@BenObeseJecty Amazing to appoint someone to key role who you've only know for 2 minutes!

“I barely know him! I barely know him!” The overwhelming take away from this clip is just how brittle Nigel Farage is. Simon Dudley’s sacking, a man he met “for two minutes”, shouldn’t elicit a response this ratty and thin-skinned under some fairly straightforward questioning. How would Farage react to scrutiny of something serious going badly because of his decisions leading a Reform Government, like the economy or a war? He’s a showman who simply doesn’t appear to have the mettle to lead this country.

@Eddybotil @Kit_Yates_Maths Sedgemoor!!

@Kit_Yates_Maths I did a victory lap when answering a history question with the battlefield "Sedgemore" Then my wife reminded me l was born and raised in Taunton.

Watched University Challenge with my dad last night for the first time in about 20 years. Was pleased with myself for getting the maths questions right. Then I remembered I am a professor of mathematics. Took the shine off.

A view of the Scottish Canals maintenance squad assessing damage to the Kelpies in Falkirk. Apparently one of the team had accidentally used the wrong dilution of cleaning solution on Baron’s teeth, resulting in this unfortunate ‘just back from a holiday in Turkey’ look.

Scotland is waking up to the devastating news that the Forth Bridge has been stolen. I heard it on the radio and had to run along to see it for myself. The radio said they were following a positive line of enquiry with a local company that uses girders to make soft drinks.

It’s that time of year - folks asking us about #bumblebees - WHY THEY’RE SEEING THEM ON THE GROUND - so here’s a thread to explain. Please #retweet! Every queen that survives means a new colony that gets to exist & produce queen #bees for next year! So important to #share! 1/9

@davidyelland Surely most people also have WhatsApp on their laptop too? Messages are still there even if phone goes AWOL.

I'm sorry. WhatsApp messages do not live in your phone like the bloody borrowers. They live in the cloud and they live on the server.

@paullewismoney @Moneybox @BBCRadio4 960 (20 × 12 x 4)

Why am I showing you this? All will become clear @moneybox starting just after midday @BBCRadio4 but you must wait til the end to find the answer! Meanwhile - and don't look it up - how many of these to the pound then?

@GentTracy @SimoninSuffolk Mine too!

@SimoninSuffolk This one is my favourite!

A Beserker biting his shield, one of the 12th Century Lewis Chessmen seen in the National Museum of Scotland this week. On my return from Edinburgh I find I have taken just under 1,400 photos this week, which will take some sorting out. But I did walk more than 80,000 steps, which must be good for me...

I'll be watching this on repeat for the rest of the day....

So beautiful! This film was even nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film back in 1961. ❤❤❤ A true classic that still captures hearts decades later. ✨

Happy heavenly 100th birthday to Kenneth Williams. Voiced one of the best cartoons ever (Willo the Wisp) and also once guest presented Tomorrow's World. How he didn't get this gig permanently, I'll never know. What a voice 😀 Just imagine if he'd been your science teacher.

@edithmayhall 1st one on left!

It's choose the cover time again. My 'biography' of Medea, for which I looked at every single ancient source, researched forensic psychology and visited every site to try to come up with a coherent narrative, comes out this year. My editor likes the green one. Please help choose!

@100707 @BBCRadio4 They'll know the number that called won't they? Surprising that hasn't (yet?) been followed up! #TheArchers

According to Life Lines, (@BBCRadio4) the ambulance people can get all sorts of information about the person who calls 999. They also seem to say 'stay on the phone' when its an emergency. #thearchers

@NJSimmondsbooks Start weight training, otherwise you might not be able to lift it when it is full! Even then you might struggle!

My favourite Christmas present this year was my first ever Le Creuset (I may have cried). Bougie North London is rubbing off on me. Anyway...tips and recipes please!!

@WorldBollard Ooops. Are boulders the first cousins of bollards? facebook.com/share/p/1C6yf2…

A bit of sunshine and colour from #TateModern on a dull Winter's Day.
