Flippin' 'eck, Tucker! @losttourist@mastodon.org.uk

Tories lose two by-elections in a single night, one with the largest swing in history. But of course Johnson is secure from a leadership challenge for another year - looks like Tory MPs really did play their hand too early.

#Yodel hit by #ransomware attack - you're even less likely to get your deliveries from them than usual: https://www.yodel.co.uk/help-centre/delivery-disruption

Question about #covid19: I tested positive about a week ago and for a few days felt quite ill indeed. I'm feeling much better now but still testing positive on an LFT.

Am I correct in thinking that if I'm positive I'm also by definition infectious? I could do with going to the shops to get some food, really, but don't want to pass the virus on to anyone else.

Oh #Cloudflare, what have you DONE?

Oh yeah!

And much as I hate giving money to big, evil, money-grabbing international startups, Uber Eat's grocery delivery service has been a lifesaver. Even if it's just for a fresh pint of milk & loaf of bread.

Our over-the-road neighbour offered to get some things for us from the shops but she's elderly and lost her husband only two months ago, so we don't want to put her to any trouble or risk exposing her to the virus

#Covid day 3 update: definitely still got the 'rona but at least am able to get out of bed and move around a bit now. Have spent a very miserable time since Tuesday morning basically not doing anything other than dozing and coughing.

I do love the local #Nextdoor app. Who here wouldn't want a good hard chap?

Our first strawberry of the year has ripened!

Ahh, bollocks. To be honest this was only a matter of time seeing as my other half tested positive on Friday, but it's still not what you want to see.

This will be my first time. Hope it's not too bad.

Ahh, at long bloody last. We can now fly to the US again without being forced to pay silly money to take a Covid test the day before.

Ahh, bugger. After both of us successfully avoiding the damn virus for well over 2 years, Mrs LT has tested positive for #covid19. I've just done a lateral flow which has come up negative but it's surely only a matter of time now.

Delighted to see a prominent #keytar on Top of the Pops once more. Full marks to 2Unlimited! #totp

That has surely got to be the least enthusiastic and least animated audience The Ramones have ever played to. #TOTP #Ramones

So far it's hard to escape the belief that 1980 was actually the last year of the 1970s. #TOTP

Top of the Pops in 1980, also known in the visual effects studio as "we've got a Quantel and we're not afraid to use it" #TOTP

Nobody's immune from the cost of living crisis, it seems! 😆
