@Norm49113908 @GaryLineker @England I heard Martin Luther King went on a march and some people didn't like it so then he went back home so as not to divide people too much.

Well there you are @marcusbrig

An Oxfordshire cheese has been named ‘Best British Cheese’ at the World Cheese Awards in Trondheim, Norway. Sinodun Hill is a goats’ cheese made by Norton & Yarrow at the Earth Trust Farm in South Oxfordshire, and is named after one of the Wittenham Clumps.

@TeresiaOlsson Haha! Buying the private jet was the problem

I filled in my travel expense claim and the system seems to say that I have exceeded my travel budget by 157 million euros. I really hope I filled something in wrong.

@boazhsan Maybe I should go for a walk instead

@wrgrs I just gave it away. I'll send you one when I get another.

Bluesky (the social media network, not blueskyproject.io) is getting more dynamic. Who wants my one invite?

@boazhsan Twitter is the only social media that I use, but the recent changes have made me much less inclined to engage.

@boazhsan I would be interested.

@2wheelsgoodBrum @jordanbhx Well you see they got there accidentally and now they can't get away.

@jordanbhx Yes, but how will people get there?

This used to be car parking. Now it’s alive.

@MooseAllain I didn't realise you did photography as well

@AndlitTwit Got one!

Clue of the day from #Ximenes167 (May 1951): A dilapidated manse for the parson’s son—hard cheese! (8)

@DannyYee @OxfordClarion Interesting, thank you. But what happens if the consultation leads them not to put in the filters?

@wrgrs @OxfordClarion "The County Council will introduce and maintain indefinitely (subject to consultation, funding and external approvals) this core package of measures to improve bus productivity and increase bus use in the Oxford SmartZone area."

Oxford Bus Company has signed a deal for a high-power connection to its Watlington Road (Cowley) depot, required for charging the new fleet of electric buses. The buses are expected to enter service later this year. oxfordbus.co.uk/electric-buses…

@OED It could be "Easter" perhaps.

@MooseAllain I'd say "bon appétit" before that.

Quite a few French words have found their way into English. We’ve got the phrase ‘hors d’oeuvres’ for starters.

@HaggardHawks @bbcnewcastle @Ladyannafoster Well humeri if the only one I can get

@TeresiaOlsson @boazhsan (use Python)

@TeresiaOlsson @boazhsan At Diamond if someone had time and organisational backing in a role like that they could have made things quite a bit better I think.

I'm starting to get the hang of working from home a bit better. I have a work laptop and a personal laptop and my work laptop is still better setup for work than my personal one. And I should get more systematic in having the right pens and pencils and notebooks around.

@boazhsan @TeresiaOlsson I'm working on the dictionaries at Oxford University Press. Very much the same type of work, but a different domain. It has been nice to have a change.

@wrgrs @TeresiaOlsson What are you working on these days, Will? It's nice to see that the pyAT work you did is still continuing on well by others.

@TeresiaOlsson @boazhsan This sounds really interesting to me.

@boazhsan All types I think. It's taking responsibility for the reference model of the existing machines and scripts used for machine setup as well as development projects related to simulation tools, machine learning, IT infrastructure etc.

@MrGeorgeWallace What about light orchestras? Or funk railroads?

Of all the sound machines my favorite is probably Miami.
