@TheHound_ Havoc.

So apparently ma name is under discussion. Choose and perish! Choose the form of the Destructor! THE TROUBLEMAKER HAS COME. I reckon ‘Zuul’. Sounds well tough.

@D_Blanchflower Because they don’t give two hoots about anyone apart from themselves. I can put it another way, but I try and avoid swearing on Twitter.

@charlesarthur Difficult to tell for me year-on-year. I replaced the boiler in October which lead to roughly 30% drop in gas use. Thermostat is at 16.5, runs 24/7 in a well-insulated house.

Here’s my question: what temp is your house thermostat set at, and have you ever tried turning it down? Mine is at 17.5 - turned down from 18.5 in Jan, and compared to Feb 2021 I used 25% less gas kWh from actual meter readings. (This year much milder than last, but even so.)

@MoSalhan I’d learn how to put a coherent sentence together.

If UK fights Russia and you are asked to join the UK army to defend this country what will you do

Cressida Dick should have gone after having an entirely innocent Brazilian electrician shot seven times in the head.

Apparently one of the people who walked out of No 10 was “Boris Johnson’s brain”. If the past few weeks have been him operating with a brain, god help the lot of us now.

@DanKaszeta @sworrall The IRS send me a tax statement every year for $0.00. I‘m not a US citizen, worked there on a P1 visa six years ago. Never mess with the IRS.

@DanKaszeta She would have to find a country that would let him in first.

@tomhfh You should definitely launch you own mission deep into space. I’m sure both your viewers will tune in.

Establish the Royal Space Force.

@estellecostanza Two Pfizer jabs I had a sore arm and felt tired. Moderna booster wiped me out for two days. Luckily, I had it on a Friday so I could legitimately hide under the duvet for the entire weekend.

@ABridgen You do know that fishermen are not coastguards?

Strange that the French fishing committee are “ready to block anything” yet their coastal guards cant block migrants from crossing over to UK waters 🤔 standard.co.uk/news/politics/…

Er…..much love to the Aussies, but we don’t really want her back. theguardian.com/australia-news…

@afneil @GBNEWS Can you have a quick chat with your audio guys? The sync is way out, and - ironically - you all sound like you are in an echo chamber.

Just finished rehearsing our launch show. Now for the real thing in an hour! Gulp. 8pm tonight @GBNEWS

@duncanhames Provided all the furniture is from Ikea and the PM has to put it together live on TV, I can get behind that idea.

Unpopular opinion: I think I would prefer the taxpayer paid for the upkeep of Downing Street... and feeding the PM while he works ‘above the shop’.

@mrmarksteel Homing pigeons with memory sticks up the bum might be the answer. We’d wind up with bird flu and some really angry pigeons, but hey ho.

Aaaagh I’ve spent 9 million hours in the last year in conversations that go ‘it’s too big a file to e-mail so can you WhatsApp it through ‘We Transfer’ by compressing the sound file in settings and translating it to Bulgarian and sending it on a hovercraft’.

@AyoCaesar Aubergines are fruit.

AUBERGINE IS KING OF THE VEGETABLES, HOW DARE???

@NickBoles Well, yes. But when it comes to “improved as a PM” he was starting from a pretty low baseline.
