Scotland has given all its gritters funny names and you can track them live!
The clever way Iceland is slowing down its cars.
So TFL buses now (repeatedly) announce “please hold on, the bus is about to move”.
Ngl, if you get into a bus and aren’t anticipating movement, maybe you deserve to fall.

I want a big bridge going right across the channel, with two hour tailbacks at each end for customs and immigration checks because, despite the infrastructure, we don’t want all this free movement of people and goods.
And France is going to pay for it too #borisbridge

In the world of Boris logic, let’s build a 22 mile vanity project bridge between Britain and France but continue to cut investment in schools, police, NHS and fire services.#BorisBridge #BreadAndCircuses #Brexit https://t.co/pmrND1TlWY

Two obvious points from this escaped wolf story:
• Are we sure "the wind" blew down the fence? Wolves have form when it comes to blowing down wooden structures.
• Building a wolf sanctuary right next to a primary school seems an interesting choice.https://t.co/895OiHUc5j— Peter Walker (@peterwalker99) January 18, 2018

Don’t really get the fuss about the Bayeux Tapestry. If you want an embroidered version of history just read the Daily Mail.
— The Poke (@ThePoke) January 17, 2018
The Bayeux Tapestry is not a tapestry, it is an embroidery. Tapestries are woven on a loom, while embroideries are made of threads sewn into a fabric.

Donald Tusk is right. The world has moved on since June 2016. Brexiteers keep banging on about freedom, but one of the greatest freedoms is the freedom to change your mind.

On consideration, I think Branson is right to let the DM be sold on his trains.
Otherwise, you could find yourself on a train of his, sitting next to a DM reader, without ever realising it. Now, people will be able to spot them at a distance and make plans accordingly— John Cleese (@JohnCleese) January 15, 2018

Honey, I shrunk the kids
Honey, I blew up the kids
Honey, I made the kids believe they were exceptional and complimented them on their talent rather than their work ethic and now they're in their mid to late 20s and never developed the ability to finish a passion project
