15 times the Swansea branch of Waterstones won at Twitter
9.
Doors opened 45 minutes ago. There are SO many amazing new books out. There's this one, this one, this one, that one, that one, that one and these ones. We particularly recommend this one. You CAN see the books we're holding, right? That's how Twitter works, right? Right? Good.

Doors open in 50 minutes. Update; it's looking less and less likely that Danny Boyle will be choreographing our door opening ceremony. It was always a bit of a pipe dream. He HAS offered to do the closing ceremony but, let's be honest, they're never quite as good, so we said no.

Danny Boyle update: we have officially and irreparably parted ways. Creative differences. He wanted to replace the doors with pits and boulders as he's hoping to direct the next Indiana Jones.
The doors are relieved, and the ceremony will remain as is. https://t.co/MJNSVS5iTi

Doors opened 1.75 hours ago. #DoorFact 19. The doors have 8 locks. 7 are the same. 1 is different and needs a separate key. Why? The legend of the One Key is long, complex and very, very boring.
What we can say, though, is that the result is occasionally mildly annoying.

Doors open in an hour. It may be the end of the summer holidays (inset days notwithstanding) but EVERY visit to @swanseastones is a holiday. And you don't even need to book. As it were.
Also; notwithstanding. There's a word you don't see enough of, this tweet notwithstanding.

Here's a thing which happened today. A short thread, not book or door related (though book rights are available).
The story involves Twitter Dog. Here he is, feigning apathy. pic.twitter.com/zpN4mMPdYj

2. Twitter Guy, Mrs Twitter and Twitter Dog went on a lovely walk in a local wood. Here’s Twitter Dog, pretending to be an actual dog. Unlike actual dogs, he doesn’t have a fight/flight response – he has a freeze/flight response. This will become relevant. pic.twitter.com/xxKroPunLB

3. A pond. Very picturesque. Very calm. But famously stinky. No pictures exist of what happened next. Twitter Guy and Mrs Twitter, exploring; Twitter Dog, scared of water. Surely nothing could go wrong.
It did.
A splash. Panic. Mad dash back to the pond… pic.twitter.com/Y3oZaH3BDN

4. …Twitter Dog, unable to swim, went for a swim. Then froze, 15 feet out. Relief, on seeing his face; despair, when he just STAYED THERE. Cajoling, shouting, promises of treats – all to no avail.
There was only one thing for it..

5. Twitter Guy strips off, jumps in the famously stinky, freezing pond, then realises he’s just as scared as Twitter Dog. Fortunately, he finds a tyre to keep him afloat. Unfortunately, Twitter Dog is scared of tyres, and his his flight instinct kicks in, and he swims away.

6. After much thrashing, flailing and panic, everyone who shouldn’t have been in the pond got out of the pond. Eventually. Everyone is healthy, and everyone has had cake (ok, Twitter Guy had cake).
And this is how Twitter Dog thanked Twitter Guy. By feigning ingratitude. pic.twitter.com/JtpYmRR3uX
