    @codepo8 Everyone is impressed because I went High Culture, but little do they know Joe Exotic has got nothing on Caligula. 😉


    PSA: if you see someone having fun doing something silly that you yourself wouldn’t enjoy, it’s perfectly okay to not share that opinion with them. In fact, it’s kind of rude of you do! (This includes haters of sportsball, chain letters, cosplay, video games…)


    And yes, I realise I myself have failed at this many times, most notably with “yarnbombing.” But I’m trying to be better.


    @crankymate Well said, my friend!


    @stevelikesyou So basically this, but with COBOL. 😂 https://t.co/InUH5HHcFx


    RT @OwainWynEvans: When they said try working from home I didn’t realise they’d expect me to do the music too @BBCNews @BBCNWT #BBCNewsThem…


    @ThePepperCherry Calling out scams is itself a public service, so no complaints from me there!


    My quarantine jumper is now finished! This is Virgil from Boyland Knitworks in superwash 4ply Merino. I picked these colours because they reminded me of Wonder Woman. ❤️ Details on Rav: https://t.co/4BAdtwx2Am https://t.co/PYEz1GHiB2


    The Snook was very excited to see this, as he’s edging ever closer to “old man who eats condensed milk straight out of the can” territory. https://t.co/nJsmCI3NkJ https://t.co/CPMgr5P5dy


    @mobywhale Thank you my dear!! ❤️


    @WheelieGoodGame I like that imagery!


    @devdevcharlie Thanks Charlie!


    @esmewatson Thanks!!


    @falican Wish I could say I designed it, but I leave that to the pros!


    @hitsthings Thanks!! ☺️


    @yaazamAus Ha!! Crochet?


    @myrdean It’s one of the first tops I’ve knit that are symmetrical back to front. I thought it might be weird not to raise the back neck, but I think it works fine!

    @toolmantim I’m so sorry for your loss Tim. My condolences. ❤️


    Here we go. PatStew has seduced Claudius’s sister into killing her husband – SHOCK HORROR https://t.co/1MYbeWG4gB


    Livilla, Livilla… this is not a good look. https://t.co/uyBw3XDqRP


    How about instead of marrying Livilla… you marry her daughter? Say WHAT. https://t.co/JTC5MpbXP5


    Livilla did not react well to that idea. https://t.co/SudB7O7nv9


    @damana Evil bewigged… yup.

    @LapTop006 I, Claudius. Very long, very sexy, very dramatic 70’s British miniseries about Roman emperors.


    Note to self: when writing a letter to your secret lover to confess murdering your previous husband, don’t leave the rough drafts in the trash. https://t.co/2q6BWYWxQl


    Ugh. I keep getting distracted from John Hurt’s hate crime of a performance by Tiberius’s disgusting weeping open head sore. https://t.co/wleG4vqdwQ


    RUH ROH!! You’re nicked, PatStew. https://t.co/pFn0eaEzKa


    “I’m the Emperor!” HE AINT’NT DEAD YET. https://t.co/7LdEAQ5xv1

    I’ve had a headache all day… now I realise it was a metamorphosis, like a woman birthing herself. Can’t you tell? I’m a GOD. https://t.co/LB35cltpr9


    Antonia is kind of a badass. “Come by in 5 hours. I’ll be dead by then. Don’t screw up the eulogy.” *mic drop* https://t.co/jVFUxIxXIw


    OMG HE ET THE FETUS. I did not remember that part. 😳🤮 https://t.co/cDpB27SK84


    Holy crap the original version supposedly included an actual shot of John Hurt eating a fetus. And they showed this on Masterpiece Theatre. 😳 https://t.co/fzgVwOnPNV

    @stephenlead @msharp I got very excited many years back when I heard about Rentachook (https://t.co/247K1OesOE), but the Snook says he got pecked enough collecting eggs as a child that he’s over chickens. And I am also slightly afraid of birds. So it was a no go on the chicken dream. 🙁


    @msharp @stephenlead Adorable? THEY’RE DINOSAURS. WITH CLAWS.
