Not sure of the point of home insurance. Discover a damp patch on our ceiling, get roofer out, find there’s damage yet @HalifaxBank says we don’t have a claim. Impossible to speak to anyone on the phone & online options are useless. Absolutely pathetic, 1-star!
I haven’t tweeted for a while because I, like many others have been dismayed by what has become of this platform. I’m therefore moving to Bluesky. You can follow me at featheredape.bsky.social, although I’m going to be spending much more time away from social media than on it!

Dire Straits and Chris Rea have decided to form a new supergroup. However, I’m not optimistic of their chances of success after hearing their new band name. Chris Straits.

Briiliant watching Elbow at the O2 last night. They are so good live. So much better than being dragged there to see Strictly Live by @nickyclayton22

Just hearing the very sad news that Frans de Waal has died. Had many wonderful interactions with him over many years & fondly remembered visiting him @ Yerkes & him staying with us in Cambridge. He also wrote the forward to my book Bird Brain. Farewell Frans RIP!
I just signed the petition demanding Liz Truss's honours list is scrapped. 49 days of chaos in office should not justify her promoting her friends to a lifetime seat in the Lords. Will you sign too? 250k and counting.... you.38degrees.org.uk/petitio… via @38degrees

@nickyclayton22 presents an episode of Between the Ears tonight on Radio 3 @ 6:45pm called A Year of the Corvids. Would be lovely if you had the chance to listen (it’ll also be available on BBC Sounds to listen afterwards).
Pretty much sums up the Tories. They only had one job to do with the #emergencyalert & yet it goes off 1min too early!

One of my project students is running a survey on unusual object-related behaviours in cats. Would you be so kind, if it’s relevant, to complete the survey & pass it on to whomever may be interested? You could win 1 of 5 £30 Amazon gift vouchers. qfreeaccountssjc1.az1.qualtr…
No more taxpayer money should be spent on Boris Johnson's #PartyGate legal fees. Agree? Then sign the petition now and tell Rishi to step in and stop our money paying for Boris Johnson's lies: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitio… via @38degrees
