Good grief. She uses WhatsApp

I’m on Instagram, does that mean I’m accidentally up-to-date?? <faints>

MB seems to have been aware of an awful lot of tweets for someone who doesn’t understand Twitter and isn’t on it, doesn’t she?

Thank you for the bundle link

Keeping the answers snappy went well.

Ms Omambala and RMW have been frozen for AGES.

(Right, am going to have a break from making vague and occasional comments about what is being said.)

Their camera freezes a lot!

Waiting for a cat to wander across their desk, as in that TV ad for kitchens.

Exactly. And how many of these clients were there? And how many would give a shit about Twitter?

She is simply incapable of giving a straight answer, irrespective of question.

Ms Omambala and RMW have been frozen for AGES.

Maybe they're just asleep 😂

I've joined live for first time this morning. SO EXCITING!
Can see the fabulous Sarah Philimore is watching too...

And you're absolutely certain that it's them, not a picture?

Such a long time ago.

It's an all star audience :D

MB is just BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH.

Thread is almost full!

MB has an easy face to read in terms of remembered visual memories (looking up to the left) and making things up/scrabbling for things to say (eyes move to top right). Textbook.

thread 15 is up, can someone more technical than me put the ink up? please

MB Couldn't talk to any barristers, particularly criminal barristers as they are never in chambers during the day.

But Allison is a threat to transwomen in chambers during the day is she?

oops crossed with @ickky

@Boiledbeetle you crossed with @ickky

The interview went well, I have to do another one though, despite being obviously brilliant, I have to persuade someone more senior that I am also brilliant too, so world domination is on hold temporarily to allow me to tune in and catch up.

Well done.

Well done @katmarie , and good luck with the next one.

Well done, & all the best for the next time.
