The Wood Warbler was still present at RSPB Rainham Marshes at 16:40 and showed quite well near the Woodland Classroom (certainly better than these rather dodgy record shots would suggest!). EBwS Bird News

@rspreston Is that a type of patch?

I might have got a better view of the Thatcher procession on the TV...

@bruffty Matt Royal Jon Miles Taylor Things changed when I joined the band: people lost interest when we STARTED playing my fave song!

@Antler_Clarion I'm a novice horse-rocker. Do you sell a model that merely sways?

Accidentally locked in the garage for the second time today by Anna Langley. And she's gone out. This is what I have to put up with.

@NocturnalCapone George Eagle Common Customs Tariff (adopted 1968) stops a member unilaterally negotiating external tariff.

@NocturnalCapone But without ability to set tariff, the scope of any agreements is limited. Problem of customs union rather than common mkt.

@NocturnalCapone That's an argument for being in the Common Market, not for being in political union.

@AEWSmith Peter Hitchens That the radicalism of Blairism is now viewed as centre ground may be Blair's greatest victory.

@Sonja_Drimmer I'm tempted to say that you of all people should know language changes over time but, no, 'lead' rather than 'led' is awful!

@Sonja_Drimmer It took such a long time to standardise spelling, it's seems a shame to undo it!

@Sonja_Drimmer I immediately note though, my 'standardise' is perhaps 'standardize' to you, so perhaps we are not standardis(z)ed after all!

@geoffrey_tobin Ha! Sadly, the Hood picture is due to a passing resemblance rather than any Thunderbirds expertise!

@geoffrey_tobin No. But I do seem to be able to send people to sleep!

@DavidLister33 Matthew Lewis Also the frequently-overlooked Thomas Neville who was the 4th head on Micklegate.

@TheGoldLions In Richard's case, being "behind" the disappearance could be negative or benign i.e. maybe murdered or maybe sent abroad.

@TheGoldLions Joan of Arc, Philippa of Hainault, Margaret of York/Burgundy.

@TheGoldLions Ian Mortimer I agree. It's one of my favourite history books. Totally illuminated a King I'd always found rather elusive.

@TheGoldLions Hi. What is the source for this? I didn't realise he was so tall. Same height as Edward IV!
