@hollie I’m dancing barely perceptibly sitting here thinking of it.

@jsnell Good to see you using the correct spelling of 'theatre'. Enjoy your time in my homeland, and I'll see you on the stage just down the road from here in a couple of weeks.

@adders I saw ‘Stanley Cups’ and thought, ‘Is that a tennis tournament?’

@adactio Though none of the books visible in your photo seem to be about the British Isles.

@jsonbecker Heh, thanks for all that. I may or may not check it out. I think I found it slightly frustrating to read about it but not know what it was.
Almost as if you were subtweeting the novel. Or reminiscent of the kind of Facebook post where the person just says, “Well that was annoying!”

@jsonbecker But what was the book? Who was the author? It sounds fascinating.

@jer_gib Well yes, this might encourage me to do exactly that.

@JohnPhilpin That’s a great piece, thanks. I ‘m not familiar with Gallagher.

@yorrike This is where we have to be careful about numbering: Disney have started counting from the Christmas special, so I assume when you say episode 2 you mean 'Space Babies'? Whereas here in the UK, 'Space Babies' is episode 1.
Either way, I'd recommend carrying on at least until UK episode 3, 'Boom', which is written by Steven Moffat, and is excellent. The following one, '73 Yards' is, if anything, even better. In my humble opinion, of course.

@JohnPhilpin I think that one would have been more obvious to me as a newspaper, certainly.
Or we have words…
And you can always use both.

@JohnPhilpin I see that, but it doesn’t help much in the other direction!

@odd I was just trying to find that, but I couldn’t. I remember seeing something to the effect of ‘Speak Selection’ somewhere, but can’t find it.

@JohnPhilpin My emoji-blindness is affecting me here. The Apple pepper-pot widget? Torch widget? The second makes more sense, but it doesn't really look like a torch.
Hmm, copied & pasted it into a DuckDuckGo search, which suggests it's a 'rolled-up newspaper'? Doesn't look much like that to me.
Emojis are stupid (G,D, & R).

@odd Yes indeed.

@Miraz I'm more than slightly shocked to realise that, even though it's gibberish, I understand on a second reading what they're trying to say. I may be wrong, but:
We've been trying different things. We don't waste money. We care about people. We get genetic material from Aotearoa. We work with other organisations, and sell our stuff around the world.
Even if that's right, though, it still doesn't tell us what they actually do.

@mmetcalfe Where is that?

@amerpie I’m not sure I’d say common, but they’re not unknown. You used to see a big jar of them behind the bar in old pubs. Don’t think I’ve seen them anywhere else, and I’ve never seen them with added colour.

@wfm Fantastic news! What a debugging job those NASA people have.

@kimonostereo Honestly, this kind of BS is why I sometimes think the whole ‘intellectual property’ idea should just die.

@petebrown On hundred percent agree. I didn't experience this myself when my kids were young, but the idea of it — of parents behaving like that — horrifies and disgusts me.
What are they like at the school play? "Act better, Tyrone! You missed your cue!"

@JohnPhilpin Left for back and right for forwards, of course.

@JohnPhilpin That's cool, thanks. Just a further note: for the third highlight on that page, where the highlighted text ends with a link, clicking on the annotation bubble actually takes me to the link. Namely this one: <blog.zgp.org/ad-suppor...>.

@jeannie Oh, no, can we have a sweet dough day, instead? Or, I mean, savoury dough? I've had it with all this sourdough. Who wants bread that's sour?

@JohnPhilpin I also tried on the Mac, in Safari, Firefox, Chrome. I see the highlighted sections, the cursor changes to a finger over them, but clicking does nothing. I'm expecting a popup with your comments?
