@hill1751226 @hantscricket @TrentBridge @onedaycup It’s possible we could initially thread the eye of the needle, but whether we’ll get any play in the afternoon is a big question.

@WightlinkTravel 18:40 St Faith arrived 25mins late. Loaded about half a dozen vehicles then buggered off leaving cars in the terminal who will now be committed to your late-running 19:20 crossing. Not perhaps the best way to keep customers happy.

@bbctms A ‘compound dislocation’ means, I’m sorry to say, bone sticking through skin. 🤢🤢

@WightlinkTravel “Due to a technical problem on the prow of St Faith today, we have had to move all customers booked on this ferry to alternative sailings.” youtu.be/3m5qxZm_JqM?si…

@RF_Travel_News “A limited availability of crew is being blamed.” It’s almost like you don’t know how to run a commercial ferry service. Red Funnel: you’ve only got one job!

@johnfinnes If those were simply eliminated from the bills paid by clients, it wouldn’t really make much difference. Instead, the upward pressure on client costs arises from a number of different sources each making a contribution in the same direction. 2/2

@johnfinnes As I understand it, much though we might like to blame our corporate masters for the supra-inflationary escalation in veterinary costs to pet owners, their actual profit margins are quite low. 1/2

@BBCMorningLive In that brief package you managed to repeat one of the standard lies told by homeopaths and allowed the presenter to repeat the ‘it might be working for me’ fallacy. You should correct the false impression you have given at the earliest opportunity.

@BBCMorningLive “These tablets contain tiny amounts of pollen”. No, they do not. You should be ashamed of spreading this disinformation.

@RoryStewartUK There is no evidence that Nadine Dorries can do any job in government.

@toit_ilze @Peterda21564481 @chrischirp Do you really think they don’t know about confidence intervals? That’s just a summary graph. And, actually, given the size of symbol used the confidence limits are barely outside the margins of the displayed line.

@BBCWatchdog Advice to insure just for accidents doesn’t really work. Cover limit tends to be too low to cover serious, especially orthopaedic, accidents. We are vets and looked at this for our own dogs to cover things we couldn’t do ourselves and came away disappointed.

#springwatch Ants going up and down a young birch tree in our garden. They go up with little empty black abdomens and come back down with big full translucent golden bellies. Except one who’d caught an aphid. Photos from my iPhone.
