@GadSaad @JohnCleese Gad. Your father clearly smells of elderberries.

Please send a prayer for @johncleese. He has not felt well since his full lobotomy, which has removed the module in his brain that detects sarcasm, that a one-day old pigeon would otherwise understand.

@Richard79139714 @cqcqcqdx save "blah"

@cqcqcqdx ... which then would disappear the moment you powered down.

@TheGriftReport @FUDdaily Useless twats.

🚨BREWDOG COLLAPSES INTO ADMINISTRATION WITH £500 MILLION DEBT — EQUITY FOR PUNKS INVESTORS TOTALLY WIPED OUT! The once-rebel craft beer empire founded by James Watt has officially been placed into administration after racking up debts exceeding £500 million (£553.8m owed to creditors). A pre-pack rescue deal to US firm Tilray for £33m (brewery + 11 bars) left a £480m shortfall. Thousands of small investors who bought shares through the heavily-promoted “Equity for Punks” crowdfunding scheme have been told their stakes are now completely worthless. 38 pubs closed and 484 staff made redundant. The anti-establishment brand that once valued itself at £2bn is in ruins. £500 million pound debt...wow James Watt and wife Georgia Toffolo (below)

@AvonandsomerRob Since they don't define to what these numbers refer one could safely assume they are not prices. It would be interesting to test this is a court of law.

Dear Restaurants, Please return to proper pricing on your menus. Fish isn't 14.5 and a Sticky Toffee Pudding isn't 7. I'm going for a coffee at 3.7 😏 Why do they do this?

@juneslater17 That ship has sailed.

I luv this

@tomhfh If the engineer is unsure of the reason behind the fault, it may be cheaper to buy an entirely new unit. Unfortunately they don't operate on a "no win no fee" basis.

My boiler has been broken for an entire month. I've had iterative repairs setting me back hundreds of pounds, but only briefly fixing each new issue. As of this morning the assessment is it has now totally given up the ghost. So now that's several thousand pounds. Fantastic.

@sk_the_extrat @relax_carlos @RAF_Luton At least they got the dates right.

@relax_carlos @RAF_Luton Also, b17 while showing b29

Fact of the Day: The B2 and B17 fighter jets fly together for the first time. The B17 first flew on the 31st Feb 1926 and the B2 first flew on the 31st Feb 1926, just 71.75mins after the B17! Photographed from a Canberra

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 1829. Five machines. One mile of track. The world was never the same. 🚂 In October 1829 the Liverpool and Manchester Railway held a competition. The world's first inter-city passenger railway was nearly built. Nobody knew what should pull the trains. The directors wanted stationary engines fixed to the ground. Hauling carriages with cables. George Stephenson disagreed. The directors said: prove it. A £500 prize. One mile of level track. Rainhill, Lancashire. Ten entered. Five showed up. One was powered by a horse. 🐴 The crowd favourite was the Novelty. Small, elegant, built in London. Never tested on a real railway before the day. Then there was Sans Pareil. Heavy, dark, powerful. Built in Shildon, County Durham. And the Rocket. Built in Newcastle by Robert Stephenson. George's 26-year-old son. Quietly confident. The Novelty went first. The crowd erupted. Then its boiler joints failed. Then failed again. Sans Pareil ran powerfully. Then its cylinder cracked. The Rocket kept running. Day after day. Run after run. Hauling thirteen tons. Then on the morning of the 8th of October they uncoupled the load. And the Rocket ran free. Thirty-two miles an hour. 🚂 The crowd had never seen anything move that fast. The Rocket was the only locomotive to complete the trials. £500 prize. And the contract to build every locomotive for the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. One year later the railway opened. A Member of Parliament stepped onto the track. William Huskisson, the railway's most passionate supporter, became the world's first railway fatality. The railway opened anyway. History doesn't pause. The Rocket became the template for every steam locomotive built for 150 years. Within twenty years Britain had six thousand miles of railway. It started in a field in Lancashire. With one family from Newcastle who believed a locomotive could win. Did you know this story? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 Nobody thought a locomotive could do it. One family from Newcastle proved them wrong.

@PcodesDev @zoomafrika1

@zoomafrika1 The Mercator map didn't just distort sizes it shrank Africa to soothe a colonial inferiority complex. When your tiny peninsula looks bigger than the cradle of humanity, you start believing you're the center of the world. Classic white fragility in 16th-century ink.

How do I explain it to my kids?

@zoomafrika1 Mercator projection. It's not a hard concept.

@Fontybits1 I normally keep a portative aluminium smelter in my knapsack. Raised a few eyebrows on the 1841 from Oxford road.

Wonder what someone plugged in on a train to warrant this. A tumble drier? 😂😂😂

@AdrianSalageanu @MyronVernis The elderly are being completely disenfranchised by modern tech. You can't even park you car without an app, and my mother does not own a smart phone...and if she did she would not be able to use it.

honestly, watching my elderly parents and in-laws struggle with touchscreen tech, a return to the basics would be ideal for many people, especially in the cars. bring back the familiar and simple to operate interfaces. Steering wheels with many small buttons and large touchscreens with submenus and updates all over the place seem nice but they are quite frustrating to use for the older generation

Do things really need to be any more complicated than this?

@MyronVernis The late nineties. Peak in-car technology era. Modular ICE, basic mechanical controls. Functional. Upgradeable. Repairable.

@thesundaysport Yes North Cheshire comes out smelling of roses once again

The way those north of London respond to news London's in range of Iran's rockets is proof the Blitz spirit is alive and well

@WhartoniteWG @VisionaryVoid If the lower bomber's controls were left in a neutral position, then inputs on the top bomber's controls would have had some overall effect on the pair.

@VisionaryVoid Did Everyone survive? How did he have any control of the lower bomber?

The Pilot Who Landed Two Planes at the Same Time In September 1940, over the skies of New South Wales, two Royal Australian Air Force bombers collided mid-air at 1,000 feet. A catastrophic crash seemed inevitable. But instead of exploding, the two Avro Ansons violently locked together, stacking like a horrific metal sandwich. The engines of the top plane died instantly. Yet, beneath it, the lower plane’s engines kept roaring, essentially turning the entangled wreckage into a bizarre, accidental biplane. As the lower crew bailed out, their roaring engines were left completely unmanned. This left 22-year-old Leonard Fuller stranded in the cockpit of the top plane. Realizing he had no engine power but fully functional flight controls, Fuller decided against parachuting out. He boldly took control of the entire screaming monstrosity. Using the lower plane’s thrust and his own flaps, Fuller flew the locked aircraft for five agonizing miles. Miraculously, he executed a perfect wheels-up landing in a nearby paddock, saving tens of thousands of dollars in military hardware. Both planes were patched up and returned to active service.

@JulesBywaterLee @364690 Sequestration of CO2 (the gas of life) is effectively evil.

@364690 the underground storage will remove 3-4 million tonnes a year- a hectare of woodland once established can remove 3 tonnes there are only 24 million hectares of land in the UK it would require 1 million hectares just to deal with these cement and lime works it is being built for

Been reading up on the 'Peak Cluster' they want to dig up the countryside to lay a pipeline to transport CO2 from Derbyshire across to the Wirral to store under the Irish Sea. Just plant some trees you Net Zero twats.
