@Telegraph The ‘cock up’ of the alarm system is nothing compared to the shambles of Surrey County Council’s attempt to introduce a digital system for residents’ on street parking permits.😂😂
📱 The national emergency alert system test descended into a farce on Sunday after it failed to work on up to ten million phones.

This morning’s news that the @BBCSingers 6 months short of its centenary is to be cut entirely is utterly appalling and testimony to the increasingly philistine nature of the powers that be at the BBC. Stephen would have been devastated and very angry.
@EmmaCleobury@BBCRadio4@StPaulsLondon Everyone talks over music these days. Congregations regard the Communion Anthem as a chance to chat. Jess Gillan has a whole Radio 3 programme devoted to chit-chatting over great music!
Appalled that @bbcradio4 deemed it acceptable to provide commentary over the music in the Platinum jubilee service @StPaulsLondon. They didn’t talk over the spoken bits of the service, so why over the music? Is good music just muzak to Radio 4?

@sarahgailbrand I can sense it in myself. I guess musicians need people. An audience is a vital part of a good performance- but it’s more than that. There’s something telepathic beyond even the notes- a much more fundamental human need. A sense of “What’s it all about”.
I do believe in free speech Suzanne. I believe in your right to roll about in glee at another person's pain. And I believe in my right to express distaste at your doing so.
@AmicusOrchestra@schizoidmuso And when you’ve worked out that the first set = 5 crotchets and the following Db is worth three of them the rest of the orchestra is down the pub!
@bbcstrictly Craig was quite right! Kelvin’s stride length in the Viennese Waltz put him just behind the beat although he recovered. Sorry other judges!!
@duolingo Could I also flag up the random “double points” tests which appear not to be optional!
They seem to introduce vocabulary and grammar that are SO far beyond the normal exercises. What is the logic? I got into trouble by suggesting my method of screenshotting the correct answers!
