Seconded! Motion passed!

"Don't say one more word, I'm on my fifth banana as it is!" 😂

For those of you who are logged in, are you able to tell us how many others are already there? I think it was 500 ish on Friday. I really don't think anyone expected this before the Tribunal started.

Propose 'moving support posse chairs' replaces 'rearranging deckchairs on the Titanic'.

Why is everyone eating chocolate eggs already? It's FEBRUARY!!!

I should be using this delay to get ahead on my work inbox but I can’t concentrate. Bugger.

The breakfast of a Queen! 👸🏼

I haven't received a link 😢 Emailed yesterday

Where's the banana emoji, I need it

Mine are full of caramel, need I say more!!?

You'll have definitely drunk it.

Are you watching only today? Or are you on Tweeting duty?

I heard Eleanor Francis on R4 just now too. She came across really well, calm, articulate and reasonable. She also explained the importance of impartiality in the civil service being essential otherwise it effectively censors not just the CS but the public at large.
Edited to make it clear I was talking about Eleanor

Working my way through a packet of chewing gum in an attempt to be healthy.

I think they're working down their in inbox so those messaging this morning fare better

And Easter is fairly late this year!

@Tallisker I emailed Saturday evening and had nothing so I just resent it 5 minutes ago and they responded straight back with the link. Try again!

I’m now in but have a black screen of doom. Should I try again?

I watched that Emilia Perez film on Netflix yesterday, to see what it was like, it was a very strange film! No idea why it's got so many Oscar nominations.

go in through chrome, I had the black screen of doom before.

My support cat found a discarded chopstick and skittered it around the room for ages not letting me rescue it. He found that so exhusting that he now asleep on the other sofa.

Probably just as well as hes massive now (only 9 months old) and my lap wont 'support' both him and my laptop. And he tries to chew my hoodie cords anyway.

Placemarking for when we get out of WFTCHTJ but at this rate we'll be in a new thread

I just had to reconnect after the hour was up!

Which tribunal was it with the cat, Ben Cooper,

sorry, I swooned for a moment there

Mr Hochhouse...r & - was it the same JR? I remember the chat function being filled with people saying thanks at the end of that one.

Screen shouldn't be black. Try a different browser.

If that fails, join with video and audio but make sure everything is switched off.

Sadly it's not possible to see at the WFTCHTJ stage how many others are enjoying the same announcement.
