Salisbury looking good

@DavidPGCSE Always a risk during panto season

I think I once asked out three sisters on the same night out

What the hell is happening in the Bath /Saints game!? Madness.

@BertDalziel Is the bandana a new thing? Ours had one on his last groom - never had one before.

Cloud has had a haircut

@54JohnBull Ah, my Dad had a “Granada 2.8 Ghia X” - memorable as each word/number was a different font and/or size. As standard. Mad.

My choice for a car from the 1980's would be a 1985 3L Ford Granada Ghia like my dad had. It went like an express train with a kick down acceleration that blew you socks off. Every accessory you could think of from heated front seats to an LED fuel range computer.

@66Steph82 Didn’t expect him, of all people, to come out for the reimposition and expansion of the British Empire

@TheTVGrump @PatrickChristys Don’t threaten me with a good time.

@PatrickChristys I wouldn’t put it past Sir Keir to throw in the Isle of Wight to really seal the deal.

Not now, Chile

@BradfemlyWalsh For years I misunderstood the lyrics to Walking in Memphis where he goes “W.C. Handy, won't you look down over me?” As referring to a toilet being close by. Read an interview and it clicked.

Until about 10 years ago, I thought some of the lyrics to Smells Like Teen Spirit went 'well, this lifestyle, it sustains us' and not actually 'with the lights out, it's less dangerous' - and I know other people who thought those were the lyrics too 😆

A thread filled with people who take it in turns to share the brain cell.

@66Steph82 *live. Ffs.

@66Steph82 Same. I used to life a few hundreds yards from where the Supermarine factory used to be in Woolston and always thought it odd that the only public acknowledgement of this was a vague allusion via a feather.

I love the Pumpkins but you can’t deny that Nirvana had, and continue to have, far greater commercial and cultural impact

@Telegraph Get a grip. I am a critic of Modi’s India’s urge to remove its history but this is a bridge they are replacing - a perfectly normal piece of infrastructure upgrading

🔴 An Indian bridge built by the British a century ago has been demolished to make way for a motorway. The Elphinstone Road Overbridge, which was built in Mumbai in 1913, was knocked down overnight as India continued to purge its colonial legacy. 🔗: telegraph.co.uk/world-news/202…

Getting very hard to deny the claims we’re living in a simulation. The person running it has clearly got in from a weekend on the lash and thought “Right, let’s turn up the crazy”

It’s going to get to the point where countries will be concerned that Trump *hasn’t* slagged them off. Tuvalu : Hey! We exist! Remember us?

@SartorialThug @Amy_90_x Middle mag boasting the lesser spotted “EXOTIC CHICKS WITH DICKS” subhead in the wild. An inclusive, eclectic, selection.

@Amy_90_x How much for the whole lot?

Boot sale utter filth 🧐🧐🧐

This seems suboptimal

@albieamankona One doesn’t “involuntarily” release a song titled Heil Hitler

I went out to bat HARD for John Davidson after he shouted the N word at black actors and producers at the BAFTAs; against many in my own community. Davidson apologised, and his use of a racist slur was explained by his disability and I extended grace and forgiveness. So here is the uncomfortable question. Kanye West has bipolar disorder. He has said his antisemitic outbursts are linked to it. He has apologised, more than once. Yet the reaction is entirely different. Let me be clear. West’s antisemitism is vile. It is not edgy, it is not excusable, and it causes real harm. In the same way, a white person using the N word does. Both should be condemned without hesitation. But condemnation is not the same as consistency. If we are prepared to treat disability as a mitigating factor in one case, we cannot simply ignore it in another because the individual is more controversial or the offence feels less convenient to forgive. Either disability meaningfully shapes responsibility, or it does not. Either apologies carry weight, or they do not. If we only extend grace selectively, it stops being a principle and starts looking like preference.

“Anyone who drives a Tesla knows that a well-designed touchscreen is far better than a million buttons and knobs.” Spectacular, and I mean *spectacular*, selection bias. You’re just saying people who chose a Tesla prefer a Tesla. This isn’t some deep design insight. As a counterpoint to what you perhaps meant, my wife chose an i-Pace specifically because she didn’t like the Tesla user interface ( even though she loved the rest of the car )

In 2007, there was a popular opinion that nobody will use a phone without a mechanical keyboard. This is identical. Anyone who drives a Tesla knows that a well-designed touchscreen is far better than a million buttons and knobs.

@HifiSean They’ve all been updated recently, so you should be all good.

Easter Monday chore ….to buy a new MacBook for the studio. Question Apple heads. I’m not going to buy the latest one to find out in a month it’s not the latest one am I ? 😬
