In case anyone was wondering, seems like Yahoo Mail is down. Though half of Twitter have probably figured that out anyway. Bloody annoying when your third-string email account goes up the spout.

We don't spend enough time appreciating this. (via Singularity Hub and Aaron Frank)

So, to be clear: 1. It was Bush who did the relocation deal, not Obama 2. Central London site owned by Duke of Westminster not US 3. South London is not a shithole x.com/realdonaldtrum…

#ICancelledMyTripToLondon Because The Madame Tussauds waxwork of me has tiny hands. That’s fake news! My hands are actually so bigly impressive — I guarantee you there is no problem. I guarantee. Okay? Look at these hands. Are those small hands?... #covfefeforever

Can someone tell me what the point of the flu jab is when government guidance was for GP surgeries to go for the cheaper, less effective version, which didn't cover the ‘Japanese’ flu B strain -- responsible for almost half of hospital cases? telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/01/1…

Interesting piece in the BBC Radio 4 Today programme this AM about unprecedented levels of French and British military cooperation, integration and joint deployment plans. I do hope that any upcoming Brexit doesn’t undermine or diminish such important cooperation.

Try saying the word ‘colonoscopy’ using Siri dictation on your iPhone. It takes a genius level of careful enunciation to get right, otherwise I get: “can anoscopy”, “Colin Oscar P”, “Connell Skippy”, “: Oscar P”. Trick is to enunciate like the Queen + rapidfire 1st two syllables

Great news about tonight's government U-turn. But this blatant mental-health discrimination of so many vulnerable PIP claimants should never have been allowed to take place. theguardian.com/society/2018/j…

I asked my GP which Flu jab I'd had in November: like many it was the cheaper 3-strain jab (as recommended by their CCG), doesn't cover 'Japanese' flu, responsible for half of hospital flu admissions. Lovely GP procured 4-strain jab, and am now (better) covered. So worth asking!

Yes I am clear, and the recording has confirmed what I say I said. My problem is with Jacob Rees-Mogg's inaccurate question, more than with @SteveBakerHW's response, which I found incomprehensible.....Centre for European Reform (CER) x.com/ChrisLeslieMP/…

Nothing quite like going for a tasty meal only to experience a freak oxygen-cannula snapping accident just before said meal has begun. Cue awesome gig economy: one uber straight home. One Deliveroo for a Hache Bavarian burger direct to my door. And lots of laboured breathing.

This is such important news to address the housing crisis in London. Well done Sadiq Khan for biting the bullet. x.com/MayorofLondon/…

Today I counted 34 students sitting in a shared-seating space, silently staring at their smartphones. 16 years ago in the same space (the smoking area University College Dublin ), all you could hear was talk & laughter among students. The smartphone addiction is killing society #BlackMirror

Damn it, just when I was starting to think I might get off scot-free from this whole cold season, one sneeks up on me and heads straight for the chest like a ravenous snot tiger.
