A wonderful treatise on "phoney" and other "ph" words from @OUPAcademic: http://t.co/3S4v5kpX #etymology

@OEDonline If we are on "sl" insults, I am rather fond of "slattern". My mother used it when I didn't make my bed, even though I am male.

@CantabIP But I still understand that Lombok is nice. At least people I met in Bali said so...

@CantabIP I would dearly love to go. Went to Bali but missed Lombok. Silly me.

All-carbon double helix predicted by computational chemists as stable up to 1000K (via @ChemistryWorld) http://t.co/LQXJD3Xu. Would be fun!

Pleased to see Pfizer have overtunrned the Italian finding of abuse of a dominant position re SPCs. Common sense prevails.

Sanity restored - Italian antitrust decision against Pfizer over SPC for latanoprost has been overturned. http://t.co/ZvqMqtEO via #SPCBlog

Can't wait for my new watch from @Pebble to be shipped. Not long to wait now...

Absolutely delighted by #Peacock GB gold in 100m final of #Paralympics. It may be #homeadvantage but that's fine with me.

From #NYTimes - more data published on the functions of "junk" DNA (not so junky any more) http://t.co/Dqne2Avd

Better late than never - after @bjh_ip recommended, now I am also listening to Computer World by #Kraftwerk as I read patent specification

Huge amount of date on non-coding DNA. Plenty to digest...http://t.co/liKhWf1A

@EIP_Legal attends annual meeting for lawyers assisting @Ownit pro-bono IP service & looks forward to providing further support this year

Good question from @Ipkat on deepfriedMarsbars. Rights exhausted so cannot stop resale unless legitimate reasons #cholesterolcruisemissile?

interesting comment via “@TTABlog: Rebecca Tushnet's 43(B)log: Second Circuit in Louboutin tries again http://t.co/KCXhHHKT”

US ruling - #YSL can produce the all red monochrome collection originally cited BUT #Louboutin keep their red sole #trademark when contrasts

Red soles distinctive but not on red shoes - interesting distinction via “@_INTA: #Louboutin v #YSL ruling http://t.co/HXLy9AUX” #trademark

@johnemcintyre I really loved this - as well as a terrible pedant, I am a former g&s enthusiast. And the rhymes are fantastic!

Coming to #OneNucleus to discuss the #PatentBox? I am going and look forward to seeing you there.

Eli Lilly v HGS: Court of Appeal rules antibody claims are sufficient given Supreme Court and first instance findings http://t.co/BzZBZAmX

@the_distillate @oxfordwords I think you have come off rather better than I did. But I should have seen it coming.
