I appear to have found a tiny rubber duck in my bag of Co-Op salted peanuts tonight. Couldn’t bring myself to eat him and now I’m wondering if it’s in fact like Willy Wonka’s Golden Ticket? @coopuk

Well done @sainsburys for changing the name of your Chicken Kievs to Chicken Kyivs. They still taste just as yummy 😋 #Ukraine️ #StandWithUkraine @SainsburysNews

What wonderful news! #NazaninIsFree
It's been 6 long years - and I can't believe I can FINALLY share this photo. Nazanin is now in the air flying away from 6 years of hell in Iran. My heart goes out to Gabriella and Richard, as her long journey back home to them gets closer by the minute. #NazaninIsFree ❤️

Had the most disappointing food on our transatlantic flight from LHR to LAX. This was the kids lunch. A cold soggy roll with 2 slices of cucumber and a slice of tomato. Nothing else! Luckily Cabin Crew Abby was really helpful & kind @VirginAtlantic #milehightea #livefromvirgin

Thanks to @emirates cabin crew for enabling my sister & I to spend our last 4hrs together last week by giving up their seats on the Male - Dubai route. Jordan (who was really kind) even took our photo and gave us Polaroids to keep. Great job! @EmiratesSupport #Thanksgiving2021

This is a brilliant exchange between the judge and the defendant. Comedy gold. The judge also has the patience of a saint!

I’m so happy that the US government has made their announcement that under 18’s entering the US are exempt from the requirement to be fully vaccinated. That means that my kids & I can finally go and visit my 85yr mum who we won’t have see for 2yrs. Thank you @POTUS! @TWMCLtd

The worst example of customer service from Screen 4 who I used for a Day 8 Covid test in early July. At 00.15 today I got an email from them with an “update” on my day 8 result. Which was of course negative. It took them 2 mths to tell me! @Screen4org @NHSCOVIDapp #CovidTesting

This was actually their 3rd error. They had totally lost my Day 2 test and I had to go for an NHS one instead. Then there was no facility to input my Day 8 test on their system @TUIUKPR @TUIUK do you know how appalling @Screen4org are as you “recommended” them?!
Today my daughter is aged exactly 13 3/4. When I was her age I read this book and absolutely loved it. I’m afraid she won’t feel the same. But I want her to read it. I’ve bought her an up to date copy which looks more “modern” than the crusty version I had in 1985! @AdrianMole

My 11yr old son and I are going to abseil 90ft off a castle on June 5th to raise money for @MaggiesCentres cancer charity. It will be his 1st abseil. Please could you sponsor us for this worthwhile charity, even if it's only a small amount. Thank you 🙏 justgiving.com/fundraising/c…

Gotta get a decree nisi (or two to be on the safe side, going from my previous post!) Family Law Week: Rezai-Namaghi v Atapour [2020] EWHC 3729 (Fam) ⁦@Familoofamilylawweek.co.uk/site.asp…

Family lawyers. I have a question that I am really confused about. (Please RT so legal Twitter can assist). Is it possible for the court to make two decree nisis, one on each petition? It sounds unlikely to me but it’s happened and my mind is blown... 🤯 #familylaw #decreenisi
