@NFLUKIRE watching in Glasgow, Scotland. This is a rematch of the first ever nfl game I watched (in London, Oct 2016), where I decided to become a Bengals fan. That game ended in a tie, but it ignited my love of nfl!

My husband calls farts "pumps" in front of our daughter. Today I mentioned that I was considering going to a Bodypump class at the gym. My daughter burst out laughing thinking it was a class for farting. I couldn't convince her it was anything else.

@damiella I've just read Oona Out of Order (it took me a while to find the UK title of The Rearranged Life of Oona Lockhart) and I absolutely loved it. So much so that I'm going to ask my library to purchase a copy so I can read a physical copy of it and recommend to others!

@roseliax64 @HumansNoContext Assuming it's infinite *good* luck.

Which pill do you choose?

Don't think I've ever been prouder to be a Norwich fan.

@AngelaHaggerty Trying on Apple TV

This is one of those tweets I'm going to regret posting when I'm still getting replies a week later but here goes: Any good telly/film recommendations? I feel like I've watched everything. There must be a hidden gem out there waiting for me to find it.

@PicturesFoIder When it comes to thongs or pop socks/trainer socks - get a size up. They don't slip off.

@PicturesFoIder As someone with a chronic illness - red pill. I've many sporting events worldwide I want to attend.

Which pill would you take?

A thread for the ultra-wealthy. If you are wealthy, you may think that if the U.K. switches from an NHS-model to a private model of healthcare it will either a) be better for you, or b) will not affect you. Here is why you are wrong… 🧵

@ThomasRedstone @MartinSLewis I've had the opposite. Managed to keep them on for over 11 minutes then they shouted at me that *I* was wasting their time. Haven't had a call for a couple of months now.

@MartinSLewis One thing that's worth being aware of; If you engage in any way you risk them flagging you as a having a better chance of converting. This may increase the chances of them calling you more and sharing your details with other scammers.

If you are called by a scammer and asked to press a button (eg press 1 to...) it is impossible for you to be charged a premium rate call. Many said they were worried about this, having had similar calls to the HMRC scam one I tweeted about yesterday. So I wanted to clear it up (and I've double checked with Ofgem). However if you call them, or if you click to call back after they've left a voicemail or from a missed call, you may be charged a premium rate. So the best thing if you're in any doubt is exercise caution and not engage. Frankly anyone calling you out of the blue to tell you you must take urgent or secret financial (or tech) action is almost certainly a criminal scammer (common ones are from HMRC, Microsoft, delivery firms, NHS). Be very wary. Any reputable organisation will have a way you can contact them (find their number independently, don't use one from the potential scam call) to check if the call is real, if you're worried. These people are clever, nasty, conscience-less criminals who prey on inattention, fear and vulnerability. The sooner laws are tightened to stop them having access to mass calling, and social media sites, the better.

I believe we call that a Freudian slip...

Genuine reason to use that new emergency alert system. Not everyone is on social media.

@Bookbug_SBT I don't like this. Creates a divide between those who can afford and those who can't.

@WildKnitter @Angry_Staffer @db491865 We might need I for our own politicians/former PMs

@Angry_Staffer @db491865 Can we ask the UK if the Tower of London is available???

So… as far as I can tell, nothing exciting happened this week, but just in case… Ask me anything, I might even answer! 30ish mins, gogo

Never in my life did I think I'd be rooting for Man U in a match! #FACupFinal

Why is it that when you go to sleep with the duvet the right way round, you wake up with the buttons/poppers at your face but when you go to sleep with the buttons/poppers at your face you wake up with them still at your face!? #RandomThoughts #Duvets

@EmmaKennedy I often go to the hairdressers for a wash and blow dry when I'm discharged from hospital. Makes me feel so much better.

It was a bit weird - was more like an obituary.

I always wanted to be Dr. Unfortunately it wasn't to be but one of my favourite things is watching @DoctorChrisVT & @xandvt on Operation Ouch w/ my daughter. She's been fascinated with learning about the body since I was in hospital. Maybe we'll have a Dr in the family after all!

It has happened more frequently at shows over the last 7 or 8 years & seems to have got worse since covid. The only blessing I have now is my hearing is so bad I have to wear the headphones which amplifies the stage and blocks out audience noise a little.

I'm late to the party as usual but I'm not surprised the police were called to a theatre due to disruptive audience members. I've had to change seats with my husband at the interval of Jersey Boys before as the woman next to me was singing the wrong words off-key & offbeat.
