RT @EH_Stonehenge: #dyk Mary & Cecil Chubb, who bought Stonehenge at auction in 1915 then gave it to the national in 1918, met at a local c…
I used to go in a pub that had a half decent darts team….perhaps they should have a stadium named after them too?
I think ITunes is probably my least favourite software.
Given my job is to often work with particularly annoying bits of software, this is some achievement

Alan Ferrier @alanferrier We’ve all been on a night out with a mate who says “It’s shit here - let’s go somewhere else.” Then when you leave you realise he has no idea where to go and the place you left won’t let you back in.
The UK is standing in a kebab shop at 2am arguing about whose fault it is.
#TodayILearned that Japanese Prime Minister Shinzō Abe dressed up as Mario for the closing ceremony of the Rio Olympics
Not sure what Mrs May would have to dress up as for a British equivalent
I don’t know much about the gee-gees but I do like Paisley Park

BBC Politics @BBCPolitics How to describe the #Brexit situation?
Conservative MP Trudy Harrison says she’s “torn between a pig’s ear, a dog’s dinner, or a cat’s arse”
Fenchurch Street is rather grand. It looks like it should be a opera house rather than a railway station
My word of the day today is ‘absurd’
#BrexitMetaphorOfTheDay
Ken Munn @KenJMunn A referendum was held. The question was. Should dogs talk. Yes/No?
The public decided by a narrow majority that dogs should talk.
The government has been unable to make dogs talk.
The majority is now blaming the minority for preventing dogs from talking
#TodayILearned that the collective noun for Great Bustards is a ‘drove’
Now the Big Run is out of the way I am giving up Hot Cross Buns for Lent
#UltimateSacrifice
I always thought that the Privy Council was quite small, but #TodayILearned that it has, by my calculations 682 members - bigger than the House of Commons
I enjoyed the slightly Partridge-esque anecdote from Nick Owen
Paul McCartney rings in to TV-AM as he’s miffed about something. They have a friendly chat, but Nick eventually tells Paul that ‘I’m afraid we’ve run out of time, so we’ll have to Let It Be’ www.bbc.co.uk/programme…
After freezing my bits off at the start of the @OfficialBigHalf and getting home afterwards, it was a pleasure wrapping up in a big coat, scarf and hat this morning.
I might wear them all summer
I don’t think I’ve ever experienced wind as strong as it was today around Canada wharf
I’ll let you make your own jokes about that
Much as I enjoyed the #BigHalf, when I am Prime Minister I shall have every cobble stone in the nation ripped up and replaced with smooth, level tarmac
Then I shall build a big wind break around the Isle of Dogs
Had a lovely time doing the London @OfficialBigHalf today. I think I saw the back of Mo Farah’s head at one point
I wasn’t catching up. I was waiting to start and he was 7 miles in

James O’Brien @mrjamesob It’s like pass the parcel now. Every time the music stops Brexiters swear that beneath a single layer of wrapping lies an amazing present. But it doesn’t. There’s just another layer of wrapping. The only question is how long it will take them to realise there’s no present at all.
