Egghead of C5 fame. What views I still hold are mine and mine alone.

Called Finland's massive vote boost, delighted for Belgium, gutted for Austria, nonplussed by Estonia, I need a kip #Eurovision2023

To everyone who's ever claimed the #Eggheads get easier questions... only one of us is an idiot pretending we know something in an attempt to impress other people.

Feeling a bit slow today. Anyone fancy an #asklisaeggheads to brighten things up a bit? You can ask me anything you like; only rule - no hashtag, no answer. We'll just get it out the way now that I don't know if/when new episodes will be filming 😉

Visiting The National Videogame Museum with my kids. I decided to try a geography game where you have to navigate to different countries at speed. You can guess how well this went.

I do like the way it's considered OK to be a rude twat when you consider people to be smug cunts. Especially people you've never met and have no idea about bar that narrow, edited 30 minutes at teatime.

This photo's six years old today, and both of them look great in it. Marks the start of the little fella's career in charming all ladies above a certain age threshold ( which we've found is about 25). #Eggheads #QueenJudith #PrinceRufus

I don't need to pay hundreds of pounds to hear Taylor Swift belting out her greatest hits at full volume while everyone around me screams adoringly. I have a 10 year old daughter. With a lot of friends. And her own Alexa.

I am genuinely frightened a #juststopoil protester will be killed during a slow march. I am even more frightened by the fact I don't believe such a death - or even many such deaths - would change world leaders' attitudes. But most terrifying of all, I don't know what will.

In a massively-narrow-and-egotistical-world-view way, me 😂 Actually, me, Kevin and Barry. The other two and Lucy could spend a big chunk of the show discussing staying in shit hotels around the country, which is one of the only things quiz shares with stand-up.

Picked up a Chinese takeaway with my kids yesterday, in celebration of husband's birthday. Takeaway is busy. Daughter points out Eggheads on takeaway's TV. I am on the screen. Nobody bats an eyelid. #fameatlast

My name is Lisa and I'm a shopaholic. Watching #Lionesses vs China, fantastic performance so far, and all I'm thinking is 'ooh, I wonder if you can buy that jacket Wiegman's wearing?'

Ooh look Mum*, I did a podcast! Thank you again @leeds_on for asking me on to ramble about the madness of #eggheads and the wondrousness of Leeds. Also love the LUCKY IRIS track - like a Heartstopper soundtrack relation💗 *she doesn't do SM so won't look, I'm safe.

A-level results. I got the grades I needed, went to the uni of my choice and had great fun. After that it all went to hell for a few years. No job, no prospects, no money. Point is, results (good or bad) don't mean you're set on a good/bad path forever. Hang in there ❤️

Sure people think the #Eggheads are smug, but that was before you knew there was an Egghead who just won a Seatfrog auction for 13 quid on a 3.5hr journey. I am smugness incarnate rn.

I need a phrase for 'so far behind the curve that...' - what? It still looks flat? I'm at the starting line? Better suggestions required. Reason for needing this phrase I'd that I finally commenced listening to My Dad Wrote A Porno. Typing this between huge weeps of laughter ❤️

Thanks for all the fun here my friends, but I think the time's come to leave Twitter (no, not X, that's part of the problem). It never feels like a helpful or wholesome place these days, and I'm finding myself actively avoiding it. Lovely to meet so many of you over the years ❤️
