@bertsbooks Depends on the holiday. If you are going on a holiday that involves sitting by a pool and reading take far more than for a city break /touring holiday.

So, a #ThursdayQuestion, if you were going on holiday for a week, how many books would you need to take? - Michael

@RevRichardColes Cartref ❤️

@AuraWithCat Blackberry

@SoVeryBritish For bees to rest.

Who knows what the little holes in bourbon biscuits are for? Wrong answers only please.

I'm looking forward to singing in this concert. It's an ideal concert for a summer evening.

@GrahamBrack @SapereBooks I wish everyone learnt from their mistakes Graham.

A morning writing Mercurius' 9th adventure, trying very hard to ensure that, as usual, he gets more wrong than right on his way to solving the mystery. It's getting more difficult, because he learns from his mistakes. @SapereBooks

@dieworkwear In the little Welsh village where I was brought up we had a cobbled. In true Welsh fashion he was called Bob The Cobbler. I don't think I ever knew his surname, it was probsbly Jones. If you buy good quality shoes they are worth looking after and repairing.

I can tell you who goes to cobblers. And a bit about the trade. 🧵

@LaceyBonarHull My daughter is called Elizabeth but know as Lizzie (after the second Miss Bennet, obviously). As soon as she could read her name (precociously early) she would pick up a coin and day "look it has my name on it " and keep it.

Most kids pretend to be superheroes or characters from TV shows or films My four year old makes us call her Elizabeth Woodville Is having a historian for a mother a blessing or a curse? Stay tuned 😂

@dieworkwear What about bad posture?

I disagree. In this thread, I will tell you what's wrong with Stephen Miller's outfits. Hopefully, this will help you judge whether a suit fits when you're shopping for one. 🧵

@GrahamBrack My brother is older than the Pope. I find this strange. It's only two Popes ago that he was the same age as my father.

The new Pope is one day older than me, which feels a lot better than one day younger than me.

@rickygervais The British National Formilary and Pride and Predjiduce

I studied this book everyday for about 5 years as a teenager. It was like my Bible. What book have you read more than any other?

@DrewPavlou I have decided I will not visit USA whilst he is President

I’ve been strongly anti-Trump on social media. Would it be dangerous to travel to America right now for a holiday?

@NoDMsPerfavore Zorro

What would you name this kitty?

@Ford_Nick Left over bacon? Is that a thing?

What do you do with leftover bacon…

@Andypolitics22 @Number10cat As if Boris and the rest wouldn't do that too.

@Number10cat It would never happen to Starmer… he would be in the directors box with paid for tickets 👍

He was told to keep his window up but assumed the rules didn't apply to him...

@swanseastones In the Old Bailey

Doors open in 7 minutes. If you were the protagonist in your current book, where would you be right now?

@PunishedCHJ @Number10cat @RupertLowe10 As the daughter of a refugee who came to the UK after WW2 didn't English but soon learnt it ( & Welsh) & whose descendents are all educated to at least degree level, the majority of whom pay higher band tax I think that the current view of refugees is ill informed.

@Number10cat @RupertLowe10 So women in this country have to be unsafe because a feral fighting age male says he's not safe in his own backward country. What a great idea lol

This is utter madness, data I have just pulled out from the DWP. £726,000,000 was spent on refugee households claiming Universal Credit in 2023. For 2024? It's soared to £1,103,000,000. That's 1.8% of the total amount of Universal Credit, 'paid to households where at least one claimant’s HRT concluded they held refugee status'. The British people are being scammed. Not a penny should be spent on benefits for anyone arriving in our country illegally. I'm very much of the view that anyone breaking into our country should be deported.

We are looking for a skilled and passionate advocate to join our legal team within the professionals regulation team on a 12 month fixed-term contract. Closing date 16 March >> tinyurl.com/4npzc3kn

Well that's a wrap. I gave handed in my laptop, ID and key fob. I have worked my last day for the NHS. As you can see, a ⁦@GHPPharmacy⁩ girl to the last.

@TheBookshopMan 🙀

Yesterday, I told someone that in my spare time I read a lot as I don't like TV. They replied: 'what a sad waste of a life' 💀
