@heyloura Why do they only get lunch two days a week?!!!?

Oh, then later I saw there was a small message on the lock screen. But no big first-run experience kind of thing.

@JohnPhilpin Yes, I think that would be extremely helpful. Some people, though, don't even want titles on their app icons, which always seems strange to me.

@JohnPhilpin Coincidentally I heard ‘Take Me Out’ in a pub yesterday.

@jason Respect. I still have my 7, but it's permanently plugged in and acting as a webcam.

@sbisson With that number in the name we'd have to assume the 'F' stands for 'Fahrenheit'.

@peterw I misread that as involving around 30 women, which intrigued me as to how deep & meaningful it could be, but also as to how loud it must be.

@writingslowly I know, right? We didn't fight the Punk Wars for this!
(I actually really liked them. There was just a tad too much soloing and grimacing for my taste. The fact that the lead guitarist (also lead singer) is a woman makes the soloing and grimacing unusual, which in itself is sad, of course.)

@sbisson Have they added threaded replies yet?

@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?
