It's been one of those days.

"oh I was just having a bit of fun" says the presenter

Paul Cockerton @pcockerton.bsky.social · Jan 14

Sitting on a traffic awareness course. Credibility instantly 'crashed' as presenter asks us to support petition to raise a maximum speed limit as 'slow speed limits kill people'

You couldn't make it up, eh, @TTCGroupUK

If you've ever wanted a way to lose weight without counting calories. And (shock) perhaps eating more of the (right) food that works for you.

Thanks @ciaraobrien for an amazing write up of @LimboRevolution...

So the Telegraph sent out an alert with the heading

“England Women are not nice, but they are winners”

Imagine substituting the word “men” into that sentence. Would it ever happen?

I’ve better words to address these incredible athletes.

This evening, I was shocked, entertained, moved and inspired by the truly groundbreaking musical @strangeloopldn at @barbicancentre. What a performance and what performers.

This is the show of the decade. A must see. Get tickets.

@AvivaUK I want to say how impressed I was today with a sales call - with your rep Ainsley Milne. He made me want to sign up even before I heard the price - and that was even a good surprise compared to a previous quote. Personal, likeable, efficient, easy to understand 10/10.

Terminale Results day for our daughter as she gets her OIB / BAC results. We have faith in @LyceeChurchill as they’ve looked after all the kids perfectly.

Nervous, moi?

In a simulation staged by the US military, an air force drone controlled by AI killed its operator to prevent it from interfering with its efforts to achieve its mission

AI used “highly unexpected strategies to achieve its goal” in the simulated test, said the man in charge.

I think I’m even more shocked now to find out this is vegan.

As @waitrose don’t have egg in their spaghetti!!

Paul Cockerton @pcockerton.bsky.social · May 2

Perhaps someone could gently explain to @waitrose what vegan is:

Slightly sore head from celebrating eldest daughters first grades in her OIB BAC, which were streets beyond what Uni's have asked her to get in conditionals.

Still, another 6 exams to go. I don't remember A levels being this stressful

Devastated. Always thought @Citymapper could do no wrong. Paddington to Sloane Sq via a Hammersmith train?

Phew. Banking regulators said Sunday evening that depositors at Silicon Valley Bank, which was shuttered Friday, would have access to their funds Monday, putting to rest fears that startups would struggle to pay their employees this week.

Paul Cockerton @pcockerton.bsky.social · Jan 14

SVB's collapse on Friday was the biggest American bank to fail since the collapse of Washington Mutual / Lehman Brothers / Bear Stearns in 2008...followed by a systemwide failure.

Bear much?
