@cliveatsynod @WalkerMarcus @StBartholomews Kingdom of Musk sounds like a new fragrance from Yardley, circa Christmas 1985

@WalkerMarcus @StBartholomews For it is written "Unless a man be born again in Twitter he shall not enter the Kingdom of Musk" 🤣

Dear Twitter, you’re threatening to suspend services to @StBartholomews if we don’t add a birth date, but you won’t allow us to go back before 1905. What do we do if our “birth date” is 1123?

@marcushayes001 Just heard the news. First person I thought of was @marcushayes001 - used to enjoy our Quincy chats. What an incredible man and an incredible legacy. Rest in peace, Mr Jones

Quincy Delight Jones Jr March 1933 - November 2024. A record producer, songwriter, composer & arranger. A multi Grammy Award winner and simply a musical master of his craft. 🙏🏾

@FelicityHannah He could soon be writing party manifestos with that attention to detail

Me to my 8 year old: “This homework is wrong.” Him: “No, I had to underline the adverbials.” Me: “But you’ve underlined everything.” Him: “INCLUDING the adverbials…” 🤦‍♀️

@RoadworkUK My Uber today was a Toyota CH-R. Highcowl line, black interior, black windows, massive c-pillars. Passenger visibility negligible (especially for my 8yo). Grim. The antithesis of this lovely Rover, really

With its low cowl line, driving the Rover is like sitting in a conservatory easy chair, reading the paper, while listening to Matt Monro or Perry Como on a gramophone and occasionally reaching for a pipe... to change gear.

@The_Japan_News I do so hope @driverbod125 has had the wisdom to take a ride on this one 🇯🇵

This is a video of the Asukayama Monorail. It runs between just outside the central gate of JR Oji Station and the top of the hill, and anyone can ride it for free. japannews.yomiuri.co.jp/original/video…

@RoadworkUK 928 potential customers lined up to view it

In tonight's bout of Rightmove voyeurism, something caught my eye...

@markhutchings1 It’s a very good point Mark. It’s what @ianwalker might (?) call part of ‘Motornormativity’. Locking in car use and building things from the perspective of cars and drivers

@CraigSJames @MattChorley Ha! First thing I thought about when I saw Sue Gray in the headlines. Chorley’s bell! #DingDing

@MattChorley [Labour] "seemed pretty miserable in Liverpool again this week, their delight at being in government matched only by their horror at being in government." 🙃

This week’s column on the art of changing the political conversation

@railnigel Caught a whiff of meths the other day and was instantly transported back 40 years and coaxing that little wheel in to action. Smell can be so evocative

My tribute to Mamod, which closed recently. I had hours of fun with this - and the inspired row of holes enabled attachment of various gear trains, pulleys etc made from Meccano. I recall a successful inclined plane using Hornby Dublo wagons! I learned a great deal as I played.

Wondering what the collective noun for DANGER WET FLOOR signs is. A menace? #Royston

@MattChorley @bbc5live A good first week Matt! New show has many of the Chorley elements Bell ✅ Secured coup interview ✅ Elton John reference ✅ Lindsay Hoyle jingle ✅ Gove soundbites ✅ Mystery voices ✅ Dog content ✅ Niche regional content ✅ Quiz ✅ Have re-learnt how to say ‘Cer-tif-i-cate” ✅

@MattChorley @bbc5live Super excited to listen to the new show today. You’re gonna rock like Elton, Matt #LittlePeopleBigDreams

Today’s the day… Join my @bbc5live from 2pm live from Westminster

@BicycleBenUK I suffer with hand circulation problems, particularly made worse on the bike. I've not yet found gloves that really prevent it - I think it's more about circulation than temperature - but I can definitely recommend NOT wearing a backpack if possible.

@CoreyLewis86 Touch of the Aston Martins here? Nice to see real, full time door handles

I'll raise you. The new C70 is offered in a Light Solar Mica that's unique to the model, and as a coupé.

@RoadworkUK Trailblazer, in so many ways!

Wondering how many RS E-tron GTs will ever be engaged in transporting a 1976 Ecko Hostess Heat Tray. Complete with original packaging.

@NewboldRj @vphthac This is a superb bit of history - thanks Rich

Preparing the trophies for tonight’s @vphthac Track Mile, first run in the 1930s and last held over 20 years ago. A few old stars on the men’s trophy @NewboldRj 🤓 I’m pleased we’ve finally got a women’s trophy in place as well

@NewboldRj @vphthac Hey Rich, the women's trophy was re-purposed from an old award that was gathering dust and forgotten. It now has a new lease of life, proper silver as well (new trophies tend to be of rather poor quality)
