Geeking out today at a combined 3D printing / Cosplay event in Southend. Orac, an arduino Enigma and some memorable droids. #happydays
Kudos to Sky’s correspondent for busking for about 10 minutes before the Southend West result was called. Headlines: 24% turnout (3rd lowest since WWII). Cons: 86.1%. 2nd place “spoilt ballot” (7%), 3rd place: Psychedelic Movement (3.4%). Bizarre bi-election.
Worrying - Product recall for the food we've been feeding our kitten for months. Recall affects some Applaws dry, Pets at Home AVA & Sainsburys Hypoallergenic cat food - food.gov.uk/news-alerts/aler… - Statement from @Applawspetfood is vague on batch numbers and the recall process...

At 10:59 today, we're uniting with hundreds of radio stations for the #MentalHealthMinute. Hear the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and some of the UK's most recognisable voices, as we continue the conversation about our mental health. Listen at getshr.uk #Southend
Thanks for wasting an hour of my life @TalkTalk - very disappointed in the attitude of your online chat team when I’ve been trying to sort out a phone fault for my elderly mother.

Mobile ordering at @CostaCoffee? Cutting out the lovely friendly baristas? Much as I love tech, not 100% convinced the app delivers service with a smile
