Could start a trend !!

Very sad to see the passing of Micky. Was always a great guy to bump into over the years, always had time for you and some great stories.

RIP

Twitter can be so toxic, & I suppose that reflects the world we live in, with so many isms. Racism, sexism, croneyism & God knows what else. Within it though, if you look hard enough, there are little pockets of wonderful stuff.

The kids must think I've gone doolally, & they may be right, but I spent a whole hour perusing a Twitter thread about an umbrella shop yesterday. And it was the most enjoyable hour I had all day. It started off with an umbrella shop & wandered off naturally into all sorts of odd byways.

My favourite leisure activity is reading books, & books are my most treasured possessions. A good Twitter thread is not far behind though.  

WARNING - don't bother reading this Twitter thread unless you are a bit cranky - there's nothing exciting to see.

love this shop, its the place to go if you want a good quality umbrella, walking stick, shooting stick or walking stick. All are tailored in house to your height so it fits perfectly for you.

Have any of the more experienced Crypto people used PI or have any thoughts on it?

Looks like Roberto R just picked up a bracelet and $200,000+ In the GG 1500

Nice way to start the GG Series!

Top bloke, so lovely to see.

That completes his Triple Crown ..

OK. So I think we've established that most men habitually, or at the very least occasionally kick their underwear up in the air and catch it.
Now we can proceed to part two of the question.

Have you ever seen a woman do it?

I'll be the first to admit that my experience of watching women remove their underwear is somewhat limited, but I never have.

I was going to say I wonder why that is but I realised that I was leaving myself open to too many jokes.

I have a lady friend that likes to catapult her bra at me by stretching between fingers like a elastic band (not complaining btw) but ive not seen her do a football goal esqe style celebration that i would when she hits the mark !

i do similar, but try to kick them straight into washing basket first !

For anyone who is interested in this from a business point of view, still no news on how to actually access the Business Interruption Loan's promised by the Government.

It is all good making these announcements, but if the actual money isn't available soon it is going to be too late for some companies.

Gets released on Monday

Ive had this off a few providers today whilst on a call out, luckily i mainly deal in investments and we are finding people have lost in area of 16% of their investment since start of situation, but in reality the boat has sailed and people need to weather the storm

yeah very good series, all follow the same basic construct of good vs evil (Frenchies obv being the Villains) hero wins and gets the girl to boot !! but he ties in well to historical battles.

Love Cornwell too , my favourites are the Grail trilogy and Agincourt.

One of my favorite series is the Sharpe set of books, have gone back to every 5 years or so and easy to complete a book over a weekend ensconced in a armchair  when wet and windy outside

I found an ideal partner for my toad - mac and cheese.

you need some wet with this, maybe some extra cheese sauce

Fair to say this caused a right hoo-hah on Twitter, though of course they get angry over the most minor matters on Tweetville.

Hard to understand how anyone could give a different answer than 2 C.
