Will a Tamilian call "Pani puri" by its name or say "Thanni puri". That is the question by @TMVRaghav. Great question by an anchor who introduced the programme by calling "Tamil Nadu", "Tamil Nad"... :) youtu.be/eu6uUly6rTc?si…

@British_Airways Thanks Julie, I was not charged extra after seeing my email. However, I've been waiting for my luggage (I am in Montreal) since Saturday (12th). At the airport I was told it will be delivered to the hotel. No luck so far. App says I cant enter details now. What do I need to do?

@sanramalin Hi Sandeep, we're sorry you were charged extra despite your bag being within your allowance. We'd suggest submitting a claim to our Customer Relations team and they'll review this for you. Please use the link here: ba.com/complaints JulieR

Explain this please @British_Airways. My reservation says I can check in 2×32kg bags. I had one weighing 29kg. At check in, I was told that I was only eligible to carry 2×23 kg bags. Since my bag was over 23kgs, I had to pay a penalty of £65!!! Lucky I had my email handy.

@British_Airways Thanks Karen, but that's not what my confirmation email says... I was told 2x32kgs when I booked. You cant change things on a whim...

@sanramalin Your baggage allowance is up to 23kg per bag. For any bags over this weight, you have to pay a heavy bag charge. Karen

@ShekharGupta @ahluwaliadisha Nice to hear an archaeologists perspective. Very happy to hear that so much archeology is going on these days. Just to help with pronunciation. Mayilaadumparai: Mayil = Peacock; Aadum = on which it dances; Paarai = Rock. The rock on which the peacock dances.

🤒 In young children with upper respiratory viruses, saline nose drops shortened symptoms by 2 days, when compared with usual cold treatment. The results of the @ElvisKids study will be presented at #ERSCongress this weekend. Read more ⬇️ healio.com/news/primary-c…

Homemade saltwater nose drops ‘cut child’s cold by two days’ ⁦@thetimes⁩ thetimes.com/uk/healthcare/…

The ELVIS kids study results are being presented: With a two day reduction in duration of illness, reduction in transmission within households, over the counter medication use, home-made hypertonic saline (2.6%) nose drops were successful in treating children with the common cold

Giving children a solution made up of salt and water can cut the duration of a cold by two days, researchers have suggested 🤧 🔗 Read more trib.al/xPTbH1G

@BBCSpringwatch re the blue tit's. Worth getting the dead chick's tested. Odd for them to drop off so rapidly.

Unusual cloud formation @ Barns Ness. What clouds are they @metoffice ?

A wonderful welcome @RSPBLeightonM. Confiding enough to share three seeds :)

@tdelahaye1 Hello Thomas. Thanks for getting in touch. We are analysing the results at present and should have something to share in the next few months. Thank you to your daughter, you and your family for taking part. Sorry about the wait.

@sanramalin good afternoon. Our daughter took part in Evis Kids and we’d love to know what the outcome of the study was. Maybe it’s too early still. Many thanks.

@doctorsdilemma @zeynep @microlabdoc Sorry about the 2 year delay. I just became aware of this thread. If you are interested, the science underpinning @ELVISstudy is here. nature.com/articles/s4159…. We have now completed the @ElvisKids study. The results should hopefully be out in the next few months.

@zeynep @microlabdoc This maybe a potential mechanism (I previously had a research interest in NO measurement so thought there might be something on this topic) bit.ly/3eAJlQm

Genuine question. I once had a medical doctor who swore by saline nose/throat gargling for upper respiratory tract illnesses—he was a by the book, orthodox, evidence-based doc. I did not research it. Anyone know the evidentiary status of his claim? I did not see a recent review.

Never thought that we would get appreciated for doing an already enjoyable task. Very nice gesture @SoIB_India. Food for thought @_BTO

@finnebrogue @Tesco Yet to:).

@sanramalin @Tesco Have you tried our Naked Streaky bacon? And it’s made without nitrites too

#Backorstreakybacon challenge. We like to toast the roll in the fat first. As a back bacon fan, it hurts to say @Tesco finest streaky bacon won. @finnebrogue, the back bacon tastes good, but the roll was dry. If you have trimmed off some fat, can you leave it back please.
