The Tweets of the week in the London Borough of Barnet - 29/09/2019

It's Sunday, so here is our most popular regular feature! My personal selection of my favourite tweets. As it's the weekend, I generally avoid overtly political tweets, as generally they are not much fun. I love the weird, the wacky and historical gems. As some people ask my criteria for selection, if you tag me into a tweet, I'll have a look. If I've seen it or if I've been recommended it, then it may get a run. I only pick one tweet a week from any tweeter, so if you post eleven amazing tweets, I only pick the best. I also like to plug local music and gigs. Then there are the oddly shaped fruit and veg and local artworks. But in short anything goes.  And I only pick ten.

1. Rules are made to be broken, normally we avoid the tweetings of local politicians, but we couldn't resist this. Whilst the country tears itself apart over politics, we do things rather differently in Barnet. Young Tory whippersnapper Felix Byers seems to be developing a romantic interest in Mrs Angry, Barnet's firebrand lefty blogger. Check  out this whole thread, it is pretty hilarious!

If she's game.

2. This weeks local celeberity tweet comes from the esteemed Mr Tony Blackburn. He share's our philosophy!

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth your while !!

3. Bablu Miah has discovered the joys of Clitterhouse farm in Cricklewood. IF you haven't we recommend it!

Took a trip to Zone Three today to check out my first @clitterhouse project event and engage with the Cricklewood community to find out what Clitterhouse Farm means to them, part of a new project with @TrappedZoneOne and also got treated to chicken biryani which was ☑️ 🥘 🙌 💯 pic.twitter.com/nPbBLtZVXR

4. The excellent North London Time Machine have found a real gem.

The entrance and gatehouse to RAF Hendon in 1966, taken from Aerodrome Road. This is a scene from the 1967 MGM film, 'The Dirty Dozen'.

5. Talking of amazing tweets, Samuel Levy is another of our favourite tweeters. This little clip is outstanding

Whilst I have been recovering from having my wisdom teeth removed I decided to have a play with the slow motion setting on my phone.
Here is a Syrphus sp filmed in the back garden yesterday. (Thank you to @ELBF2010 for the id) #SlowMotion #Hoverfly @vikingoptical @ArjunDutta210 pic.twitter.com/QqoqY3CG0R

9. Some of us got a bit wet this week!

OMG! Drove down the A1 through Henlys Corner non-stop during the heavy rain, under the white zone; biblical rain, the cars more like speedboats in the spray. Very brief bright rainbow followed, but too wet to photograph!@LondonSnowWatch @wanstead_meteo @metoffice pic.twitter.com/C7qpgrQLPz
