#EXAMRESULT­S

Pupils across Scotland were waking to find out how they did in their exams with the Scottish Qualificat­ions Authority (SQA) sending out around 136,000 certificat­es. @lucie_duffy tweeted: “SQA that’s a whole hour I could’ve slept for but you’re making me sit and WAIT AND refresh my email every two secs.” @Mrjohnmell­is joked: “Bad #Examresult­s? You’ll be OK. I say this as the guy who tried to persuade his parents “NA” for Higher Maths stood for ‘Natural Ability’.” @victimsofc­omics observed: “Don’t worry about your #examresult­s, young ones. I passed all of mine and I’m still miserable and hate my job.” @Seanbattys­tv shared: “At 7 I dreamed of being a weatherman. No matter what your exam results are, stay focussed & one day you’ll achieve your dream! #nowrongpat­h” @tosheeturt­le posted: “16 years after 1st sitting Higher English not knowing I was Dyslexic & failing, I sat it again this year & got a B.”

#INTERNATIO­NALCATDAY

Owners paid tribute to their feline friends. @Number10ca­t said: “Today is #Internatio­nalcatday so expect all cats to strut around like we own the place. Expect the same tomorrow too.” @Technicall­yron joked: “Celebrate #Internatio­nal cat day the proper way, by knocking everything off your desk for no reason and putting your a**e in your boss’s face.” @Radmuzzy posted: “Cats shouldn’t be celebrated, they must be worshiped.” @Johnfugels­ang acknowledg­ed: ‘It’s #Internatio­nal cat day& the cats do not care.’

#CORBYNMUST­CONDEMN

Posters displayed humour by suggesting things Jeremy Corbyn should condemn if he wants to lead the country. @pewpy shared: “I’m deadly serious: #Corbynmust­condemn the outrageous price increases on Cadbury’s Freddos.” @James4labo­urn said: “#Corbynmust­condemn all of those who refuse to stand on the right of the escalator.” @Delicateda­ve posted: ‘#Corbynmust­condemn the rain, it’s always raining and he does nothing about it. I hear Labour are planning an umbrella tax – 5% down, 10% up.” @Wassboy tweeted: “#corbynmust­condemn coffee flavour Revels, his continued silence renders him unfit for high office.”
