Lethal dose (LD50) animal tests were developed in 1927. Why are they still being used today? #AnimalTesting

Best thing about the elections being over: I'll be able to read my mail without sifting through hoards of leaflets containing pictures of politicians inanely grinning in front of hospitals.

6 months into my new home and I'm still learning what the garden has to offer. I'm particularly impressed by these kaleidoscopic tulips.

They say in Cheshire, you're never more than a few miles away from a radio telescope.
Here's one captured from Lock 1 on the #MacclesfieldCanal at Bosley.

Dog owners are the worst thing about spending a lot of time on the canals. Apart from their inability to clean up after their dogs, the complete disrespect for wildlife, especially ground-nesting birds, angers me most. Compulsory leads on at all times please

It's been nearly a year since I did an "external" talk so I'm very much looking forward to speaking at #SPINSUK about our observations of young variable pulsars at Jodrell Bank. #pulsars #radioastronomy

Strong #aurora activity last night & the best I've recorded from Cheshire. Battling the light pollution of Manchester to the N (+ a few clouds) we have the green and red (higher altitude) auroral light.

Today comprised trying to help a thin, elderly, tumour riddled cat who's been permanently abandoned and left outside in the cold by her tumour of an owner because he's "not really a cat person". Humans suck 😡.

I'm petitioning for clear labelling on alcoholic drinks for Vegetarians and Vegans. Isinglass (fish guts!) is used to filter Beers, Wines, Ciders and Ales and its really difficult to know at a glance what drinks are fish free. Pls sign and share

Strangely seem to be quite bad a supplying sofas - despite that being all they do. They're good at taking your money quickly, they've got that bit nailed. But if you want a sofa in return for it, you're apparently not catered for.

Can't companies get anything right? Eon think we used £70 in gas in one day in a house we weren't living in, BT find installing broadband here more challenging than fusion energy and Ikea screwed up my order leaving me consigned to spend years on hold listening to FUCKING ABBA.
