@sharonodea Vegetable peeler. The fancy ones don't work! Price of a potato peeler is inversely related to it's effectiveness

What's an example of a thing we ALL buy or use because it's useful regardless of how unfashionable and/or ugly it may be? Yes it's for a likely over-laboured point I'm making in a talk.

@Wedge It's good. But Instagram wedge is better. You should follow him, high brow literature / 80s kids cartoon gags. Genius.

Cannot *believe* this got no comments. Like, was it too obvious even for you?

@Wedge Funny, my forehead is actually the only part of me where I don't use prosthetics

@lukemepham I honestly thought you had one, y’know, on your real head.

A woman came up to me and said “I’d like to poison your mind with wrong ideas that appeal to you though I am not unkind”. That’s marketing. A man came up to me and said “I’d like to change your mind by hitting it with a rock” he said “Though I am not unkind”. And that’s comms.

@Wedge I want a prosthetic forehead

@lukemepham OMG, will do! Everybody wants a rock! I know I do.

@Wedge Nice. Now please explain "we want a rock"

@lippydoyd42 why is a mouse when it spins? (Got to check this is you)

At #MSEnvision today doing the irl event thing. So far the headings of my notes are: puffins, clutch control, ladders'n'bridges, cyberwars and F1 cars.

@Wedge Explaining things makes them much less hilarious. Un-rofl'ing myself now.

@lukemepham Is this a driving or tech hub reference? As I’m ignorant of both.

Reading is expensive.

@Wedge And "dunno yeah" was also my thought.. surely (reasonable) people want to know if they're using non-inclusive language.

@lukemepham PowerPoint settings are quite different on Mac, so I can’t yet find inclusivity spellcheck! In Word and Outlook, I’ve turned inclusivity checking on for all future docs and mails. My opinion for MS default? Dunno. Yeah?

Windows users can find ‘Inclusivity’ settings within Word Editor. Ticking means spellcheck will consider age and gender bias, etc. Mac users have to hunt for them, here:

@Wedge PowerPoint I mean presenter coach. Looks like it's still preview on Mac insider.office.com/en-gb/blog/pre…

Many thanks for such a supportive review Martin!

@helendeverell Haven't got one of ours I can share, but have you seen : lookbook.microsoft.com

Anyone willing to send me screenshots of intranet homepages built on SharePoint? I want to show a client what can be achieved. #InternalComms

I'd do anything for work... but I won't do THAT. In honour of Meatloaf, what are the weirdest tasks you've done in the course of your job? And one thing you've point-blank refused to do?

So I braved the column layout designed to present this Microsoft puff piece as genuine academic study and I am ready to present Some Opinions on the matter. nature.com/articles/s4156… Herewith are said opinions 🧵:

@theribman @burger_lobster Just finished our at home kit and holy f#ck that was delicious! 😋

Today I’m making 100 litres of #HolyFuck for @burger_lobster before I get online orders shipped ❤️🙌🏻

@Wedge Weird syringe and space fleet emblem are close last. Favourites are corndog army and waving green duck couple.

Which icon do you prefer? Which is more aesthetically pleasing to thine eye? I know you want to ask "What's it for" but I'm not asking for a 'best-fit design', I'm asking which is pleasing to you. Deadline is Monday 7pm BST. Thank you!!

🚨Six months to go!🚨 Third time lucky with the date🤞 thebigyak.co.uk #TheBigYak
