I've set up a 'Mastodon' account, mainly to make sure that I can keep the same handle:
@drcjhand@mastodonapp.uk
I have no idea how it works, and no time in the near future to learn.
Not leaving Twitter.
I might win something 🙃
SimplyCook an affordable way to cook amazing meals at home. Unlike pricey recipe boxes, they just send you the flavour essentials - you add the fresh ingredients. Try it FREE (worth £9.99) using my link: smply.in/H99121?t=tw&via=dt&…
Had to nip to the shop for essentials (loaf, milk, gruyère, cans). Loads of folk out doing their shopping while moaning about other folk doing their shopping 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️ As bad as drivers in traffic moaning about traffic 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
Well, that's one way to entice people to take up Editorial posts 😵💫😵💫🤯🤯🤭🤭

Genuinely sorry that things didn't go better this season. What Rob Edwards and the team have achieved in the past couple of seasons will not be forgotten. The impact on Luton as a town has been tremendous. Good luck for what comes next #COYH

This January, @LuckySaintBeer is proclaiming ‘Thou Shalt Go To The Pub’, giving away 100,000 pints of their golden lager across participating pubs in the UK.
Why? Because, Lucky Saint believe the greatest reward of drinking is the social connection, not the alcohol.
To claim your free pint click here🍺⬇️

🤝Taking a friend to the pub? Share the link with them and they can redeem a free pint too.
If you're feeling a bit hopeless or pointless as we approach the New Year, just remember that there's someone in Germany who spends their days putting indicators on BMWs.
Other than the "45" bit, this could've been me (I was 34 when Eric was born). I was walking through Morrisons the other day, saw a display for Babycham, and a bit too loudly said -- to no-one in particular -- "Babycham! Booze for t'baby!"

He subverted the power of authority and twice came within a whisker of stealing the blue diamond, that’s what he did! In this house Feathers McGraw is a hero!
Using the last of my annual leave to finish in 2nd place in the Dundonald Links Turkey Trophy. I won a really big bit of fish 😅 81 shots, minus 14 for handicap, 67 / 5-under-par. 41 Stableford points. @DundonaldLinks 🦃🏆

This answers the question “What were the 70s like?” better in two minutes than I could answer it with a thousand words. Quite likely the best thing you’ll see today. Just trust me.

As is traditional in Ireland during big storms, we all await a news story from a windswept reporter that has been tied to a lamppost in Salthill while some gobshite in the background flies a small dog like a kite as the waves smash over a poorly parked Ford Focus

Excellent customer service from @GreggsOfficial😀 Emailed about a problem the other day, got a really clear response back within a couple of days (quick enough, definitely). Thanks! 😊
Some game at Easter Road. Hibs Hibsed it, then Aberdeen Hibsed it, then Hibs Hibsed it again, before Aberdeen Hibsed it right at the death. Unbelievable.
Just thinking about a) how many balls in before I broke a window, and b) would I keep going after I broke the first window? 😂
