Someone needs to invent a toaster that delays the toasting of the second slice by the amount of time it takes you to butter the first.

This article is absurd. Churches all over the country have been serving their communities. Perhaps, because they are not shouting about it on twitter, it's going unnoticed… But church is SO much more than buildings, and it has very much been there through this time. https://t.co/amRRUrkl48

Hi Robert
I read an article last week which was helpful. It said, if you went to a doctor with a broken arm & they said "I won't treat that… all bones matter" you would question their wisdom. The author's point was that addressing the pressing issue doesn't ignore the rest. https://t.co/DhZRcpwGIR— Dan Walker (@mrdanwalker) June 23, 2020
It’s looking like a warm one. If you have to go outside, you’ll need:
• Sunscream
• Sun hat
• Sunglasses
• Mask
• Anti-bac
• Hayfever tablets
• Insect repellant
• Umbrella (just in case)
• A long pole to help you keep 2m away
• Large shipping container to carry it all— innocent drinks (@innocent) June 23, 2020
Our boss (on Microsoft Teams): “Did you proofread this tweet?”
Us: “Yes.”
Boss: “Then what’s sunscream?”
Us: “Errr… you’re on mute.”
Boss: “No I’m not.”
Us: “Yes you are.”
Boss: “You can’t just say I’m on mute to avoid tricky questions.”
Us: “Errr… You’ve frozen.”

Our boss: "How many people have tweeted us about smoothies today?"
Us: "One."
Boss: "And how many have tweeted us about sunscream?"
Us: "About thirty so far."
Boss: "Are you proud of yourselves?"
Us: "Well, we don't feel any more shame than usual."

Prof Whitty sounding EXTREMELY cautious about the changes – and making plain 'if people hear a distorted version of what is said…and start behaving in ways they would have before this all happened we will get an uptick' – should still stick to 2m where you can

A Brit, upon seeing someone who is quite clearly melting in the heat, someone who is wilting like spinach, is dripping with sweat, toasting like crumpets and glowing like molten rock, will be unable to resist asking the question: “bit warm?”

According to a study conducted at Colorado State University, women are less likely to date men who like cats. One question is why that’s the case. Another, perhaps more important, is why this study was conducted in the first place.
