@mammuthus On the plus side, one of my favourite dad-jokes is calling it the four day fivecast. The kids don’t even react anymore.

@mammuthus The phrase ‘quarter of a century ago’ makes me think early eighties…man I feel old.

@AmyL_IoM I fell off that boardwalk once, sank up to my knees in the mud. Instinctively grabbed the thing in front of me to pull myself out…turns out it was a dead sheep.

The most exhilaratingly windy 10.7km (6.6 mile) trek from the Black Hut to North Barrule and back - we had ALL the weather too, I’m now soaked. 🌦️🇮🇲🍃💨💨💨

@anon_opin @wpfotos this you?

Velcro is by far the best way to fasten shoes and I don't know why it hasn't made laces obsolete.

@smartereveryday Today I listened to @corywong Wong Notes episode where he talks to Victor Wooten and it was amazing. Such a great message for us all,and young people especially, about sense of self and creativity.

I’m going to spend a dozen hours in a small bus with a dozen teenagers, on a “Dadventure”. What short (1hr or less) podcast or story would you play for them? Why? For example, going to play the “Limits” RadioLab episode. Also “Presidential” podcast. Hook me up with links please!

DRONE RESTRICTIONS - message from IoM Civil Aviation Administration: Due to ongoing search and rescue operations near Port Erin, no drones may be flown within 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) of Bradda Head at any level. Restriction in place until 23:59 18 July 2023 and may be extended.

@Londonist @mathsjem Fully expected to see @standupmaths in the byline of this.

From the archives... that time we pushed the "clickbait listicle" to geeky extremes londonist.com/2015/07/anyone…

@ChristyDH Is it a false widow?

Anyone know what this spider is? Bout an inch long body-wise…

@djmeiso Loved mini-disc, great format. Shame mp3 came along so quickly.

@fesshole @mrdavyknowles is this you?

As a British musician living in the USA, I routinely incorporate the theme tune to 'Bullseye' in my guitar solos for my own entertainment. Nobody here knows of the show and is none the wiser. Super, Smashing, Great.

@20thcenturymarc Still have pound notes in the Isle of Man. The 50p note was legal tender until about ten years ago.

What’s the thing you remember from your distant childhood that makes you feel like you overlapped with another era entirely? Mine is £1 notes.

@2of Lloyds (IOM) lets you log into website with a password and then selected characters from ‘memorable information’, no app required. I guess the UK site would be the same?

Anyone got a recommendation for a UK bank which provides genuine web-browser banking and does not need a smartphone app or a mobile phone number for access? Thx.

@danlehnermusic @McdichaelPaul here come dat boi

What's a tweet that's so canonical in your mind you make shorthand reference to it, even if people might not know what you're talking about? (I sometimes just say "uh oh y'all it's gettin' kinda hazy" expecting people to get it)

@DrRachelGlover @Derek_Flint1 @manxtelecom We’ve had similar problems. Assigning static IPs to the devices has helped, but not totally cured it.

@standupmaths @alexjameshq @bechillcomedian @helenarney @MouldS @thebigfeastival On the same bill as Justin Fletcher, you’ve hit the big time!

I know that “& Friends” implies they are my friends, but technically it could mean the show is me and a seperate group of friends (@alexjameshq @bechillcomedian @helenarney @MouldS). Details and tickets to @thebigfeastival here: thebigfeastival.com/stages-and-exp…

@WDBKing Mahler 1.

My first fauré 😉 into #ChatGPT. Only 2 pieces also appearing on the Classic FM audience's Top 10. What do you think is missing?

Amazing performance tonight for the last night of Six the Musical @s_ninian. Well done to all the wonderfully talented and hard working young people involved.

@Nick_Pettigrew My favourite is places near each other, spelled similarly but pronounced completely differently. We have Kewaigue (Kyoo-egg) and Port Lewaigue (Lay-guh).

Fazakerley.

@DudleyButt Likewise. My grandmother’s first husband was an ARP warden and died as a result of injuries he suffered during a raid. She then moved home to the Island and met my grandfather.

Pointed out to me that if Hitler had not existed, neither would I. Worked out that his part in 20th History meant that my parents met. Without him, they would not have and neither I or at least 28 members of my family would now exist. Check it out with your family.

@StevenShorrock Track 9 feels like it has some gnarly polyrhythms.
