@jonnyauk @davecoveney I think I remember you both gave excellent talks. And you were young whippersnappers :)

Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do! #MyTwitterAnniversary

@barkway_ken @edwinhayward @campbellclaret And oddly, the ‘useful’ page of my renewed UK passport is laminated and looks and feels pretty much identical to the ID card I had when I lived in France 20 years ago.

@edwinhayward @campbellclaret I’ve never understood the aversion to ID cards, it makes everything so easy. But liberty they scream, hmm we are the most surveilled people on earth, our government have now used ID as a form of age related gerrymandering. The more we squeal about freedom the less we have

@RichardFor95198 @ClassicReplay Nice to hear. I made some of those boxes!

@sianharries_ Polishing shoes

@llamasoft_ox It’s short, so good for headlines; it’s much better than ‘man’; it’s easy to identify with, it starts painting the picture.

@jpgayford @mrswalkerteach This is the answer. The ads are a teachable moment too :)

@jessejanderson Recently found I was wrong with ‘tan-genital’ instead of tangential — I’m 53 and nobody ever mentioned it…

Nobody warns about the hazards of reading at a young age. I’ll be mispronouncing words like “haphazard”, “melancholy”, and “hors d'oeuvres” for the rest of my life.

@davecoveney Similarly, it would be nice to be able to renew any arbitrary domain — for when some small biz finds its domain has expired and site/email is gone but they can’t track down the freelancer that registered it for them

Almost no domain registrars offer the facility to just say "no, this domain not only doesn't want to be renewed, I want to hear nothing about it dying. Ever. No, you don't need to remind me fifty times. I don't want it. It's over."

@wiredferret “Boomshanka”. Now somebody will be able to say exactly how old I am.

Email etiquette question — Do people under, say, 30 actually sign off on emails? Like, Thanks, Heidi —— I do, and I think it’s normal and polite, but don’t know about whether that’s an Old Ppl Habit

@P0st_News What could possibly go wrong?
