#BBCOlympics loads of post event chat whilst not showing other events. Very disappointing

@Psythor That was a good payoff - excellent article

@lmottram Yeah, a… joke. 😶

Very disappointing. There’s definitely enough room on the back of his legs for “create an open API for Postcode Address File data”.

@Baddiel @seannwalsh To be honest, in this regard, I feel sorry for Matt…

As someone who knows @SeannWalsh a bit I also, whilst watching it last night, wondered about how he felt about being cast as Matt Hancock's mate.

In the past I’ve been offered I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here but if I were to have a personality transplant and do it and then was asked, like various contestants did to Matt Hancock last night, why I was doing it, I would say, without a seconds thought, “For the money.”

@SoVeryBritish Basingstoke in the garden, screaming through running mascara “he’s not worth it Trevor”

Let’s pretend every city/town in Britain is a guest at a party. What is each one doing at the party?

@GGrimalda Don’t you think the doctors had better things to do. Let’s hope no one’s actuall suffering or need was delayed because of your choice

After 24 hours of remaining glued to the floor and a nearly sleepless night my hand got swollen. The Wolkswagen manager had initially refused to let a doctor in but eventually accepted. 7/

Together with 15 other members of @ScientistRebel1 I have occupied the Porsche pavillion at @Autostadt, 9 of us glued to the floor and some of us on hunger strike until our demands to decarbonise the German transport sector are met👉 scientistrebellion.com/coming-actions/ @ClimateHuman

@ladystabson A child crying

Thank Collins It's Friday! It's warm out, no jacket required.

@Psythor All standard stuff at a Genesis concert… youtu.be/sA3rJXV4R4E

I’m at a metal gig, not my usual punk scene, and the songs are all like, six minutes long and the drummer has just been drumming on his own now for ages. Weird.

@kirstentk Cock it - I’ve just driven to your old house - what’s the new address??

I honestly don’t know how I got that in 3. (The rest of you are still wordle-ing too right?)

@Baddiel The first sitting PM to (be caught) breaking the law…

If Johnson doesn’t resign, as clearly he doesn’t intend to, after becoming the first sitting PM to break the law then the only conclusion must be that he thinks “c’mon, these weren’t real laws. They weren’t law laws.” Trouble is, most of the country were abiding by them.

@GenesisTabletop Yes it was a great night - although I’ll be furious if there is a ‘special guest’ on the lineup tonight!!

@lmottram Sorry I missed this, hope you had a great time!

Here we go again!!

@Baddiel @mlleSilhouette @mrrobnewman …today

My ex - is that an OK term? Anyway, going for it - the very lovely @mlleSilhouette found a copy of @mrrobnewman's first novel at her house, with this very sweet dedication, to me. This is of course is now actual history.

It's a small consolation but the Ukrainians turn out to be fucking great swearers.
