#OPENINGCEREMONY

The opening ceremony of the 2018 Winter Olympics took place yesterday in Pyeongchang, South Korea. The biggest cheer of the night was reserved for the last team: the sight of a joint Korean team had everyone talking.

@baekzyxing said: “Seeing North and South Korea marching together under the same flag is more beautiful than I imagined.”

@Jboc1o said: “North Korea and South Korea walking in the opening ceremony under one united flag named ‘Korea’. Powerful what the Olympics can do.”

@Elinagrigoriou said: “Anyone else get a bit tearful seeing a united North and South Korea team parade to open the #Winterolympics2018? Sport is not just sport, it’s a platform to engage with ourselves and others around us.”

@itsjadely said: “One of the best opening ceremonies I’ve watched ever. Bawling my eyes, watching North and South Korea joined as one nation.”

#NATIONALPIZZADAY

We weren’t aware that the Italian delicacy had its own day, but seeing as it’s probably the greatest food on the planet, it makes

perfect sense. Twitter was awash with cheesey banter.

@Angelabelcamino said: “Pizza is like sex... When it’s good, it’s great and when it’s bad, it’s still pretty good.”

said: “What do you call a person that hates pizza? A weirdough.”

@uk_rants said: “Finally, one of these silly national days I can get involved with. I’ll have to eat two, because one would just be a normal day.”

@Rangemasteruk said: “There is no excuse to not enjoy pizza for breakfast, lunch and dinner today on #Nationalpizzaday.”

#MICHELBARNIER

It was reported yesterday that the EU’S Brexit negotiator, Michel Barnier, is convinced a border with Ireland was ‘unavoidable’ if the UK leaves the single market.

@Duncanmccarthy6 said: “I wish the EU the very best of luck putting it in...”

@Mcallrich said: “Playing the old ‘Irish border card’ again... using Ireland as a political football... everything that man has to say is negative.”

@Polhomeeditor said: “Solutions to Irish border issue must be “precise, clear and unambiguous”. Best of luck.”
