Want to beat the Eurostar queue? Get the crazy early 05:59 out of St Pancras - it's just like trains pre COVID/Brexit!

Ah, that well known "safe place": in the bin. Unfortunately that bin was then emptied, and @RoyalMailHelp can't tell me what it was or who it's from because they don't keep records and didn't fill in the card. Anyone sent me a package about a month ago and not heard back?

Hey all! I hope you'll consider me for the #Inspiration4contest so that I might be able to take my science communication to orbit :)
To raise money for @StJude I'm offering personalized videos for kids here: spacegaltospace.com I'll match all donations up to $5k.

Rough move for folks who make TV (like my wife). Last week @RishiSunak said short FTCs ("PAYE freelancers") could be extended and furloughed since there's no new work. Today HMRC say no. What's going on? Any help from @MartinSLewis or @bectu? tvwatercooler.org/wordpress/…

Lots of TV production uses 1-3 month fixed term contracts where you get that freelance "where's the next gig" risk, but don't handle your own taxes. Anyone know of other sectors in the same boat?

The world's turned upside down: I've just made a DVD play on my old Linux laptop because my wife's shiny Macbook wasn't having any of it

Also the Åland islands are lovely, and this remains one of my favourite views in the entire world

This is a nice piece of accessibility from @museocinema - Braille between the lines on the signs, tactile dots on the images and NFC tags to read out the contents (in both Italian and English)

Peepshows (not what you think!) at the Cinema Museum in Turin - paint on the back means they can have a "night mode" when lit from behind!

It's also the only museum I've ever been to with a "red light district"!

Come on @PenguinUKBooks, of 150 speeches only 16 were by women (after a quick count). Modern? Try harder. #IWD2019
