Thank you to @KillTheCatCo for some fascinating science today. I learnt so much. But can I say, the twins who had to take down the lab were massively overworked.

Absolutely fuming that #onlyconnect perpetuated the Jack/Flag myth. The two terms are interchangeable.

This was the weirdest thing about being on the show. There was a man in the corner saying my name when I hit the buzzer.
I am always LIVE in the studio on #UniversityChallenge! Never pre-recorded!! It allows me to speed up as the show speeds up. I'm glad you asked as many people think I am pre-recorded!!! 😀

There comes a time in a person's life when they must realise they are too old for three things: 1) Play football for Scotland 2) Play Hamlet 3) Be a spokesperson for the IEA #PoliticsLive

So fucking selfish. Making the day's sport all about them, ruining it for everyone else in an attempt to get everyone's attention. But enough about the Barmy Army trumpeter. #TheAshes

Ooops! I just sent our union boss in completely the wrong direction for a meeting! Someone at @ucu let her know I am sorry!

It is absolutely amazing to me, that the best minds of the ruling party of the United Kingdom can't come up with a more inspiring message than "eat shittier beans".
