24 beautiful family-sized flats, replacing just 4 homes on the site Every new flat is dual, triple, or even quadruple aspect. 100% affordable housing, and all meets the Passivhaus energy standard (so low bills!) We need so much more of this! By Metropolitan Workshop

most exciting thing about expansion? we have a new map!

Classic in style, yet brutally powerful. Bentley Speed Six, 1930.

@PeterPlisner @joanneroney Why is the extension tonight so delayed?

The first section of the long-awaited Birmingham Eastside Metro extension will open on Easter Sunday. The new route will carry passengers to Millennium Point. Eventually trams will run to Digbeth High Street.

@ArcVyck I have not seen this level of idiocy since the hype about "solar roadways".

@sc_world_2010 @tim_brannigan @TheGriftReport Always felt a bit emperors new clothes about Brewdog. Thought it was just me who thought it tasted shite.

@TheGriftReport Good. Their Pale Ales tasted awful and food was terrible for a pub. Brewdog Waterloo even has a metal slide, inside a pub, full of drunk people! That’s not smart 🤷‍♂️

🚨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)

@RndnTwit @luusssso Just shows how far interiors have come and how little exteriors have.

@luusssso Ah but we need the original too, the Alfa Romeo Carabo. Pedestrian just need to watch their shins.

Starting a petition to revive the wedge concept car

Out Run (1986) by Sega wasn’t built as a traditional racing game, but as a “driving experience” by Yu Suzuki. Instead of laps or opponents, the focus was on freedom, letting players choose branching routes across multiple stages, each with different scenery, traffic patterns, and difficulty, leading to several possible endings. Technically, it was powered by Sega’s Super Scaler hardware, allowing smooth sprite scaling that created a real sense of speed, something few games at the time could match. The deluxe cabinet took it even further, physically tilting and moving with the road, turning it into a full-on arcade attraction. Its soundtrack by Hiroshi Kawaguchi was just as groundbreaking, giving players a choice of radio stations like “Magical Sound Shower,” helping define the game’s laid-back, road trip vibe. That mix of tech, music, and design is why Out Run is still seen as one of the most influential arcade racers ever made.

@WulfrunianChris Hardly any Desi pubs on the west side. If I’m having a curry prefer a proper Brummie Balti but they’ve shrunk back recently.

One of the best things about the Black Country is that basically every pub will do a banging curry for a crazy good price.

@80s_Kidz Pick’n’mix

What's the first thing you think of when you remember Woolworths

@exQUIZitely @TsuiAllen It’s a VIC-20 ergh

@TsuiAllen The Philips monitor omg, NICE! And the beige C64 never gets old, a timeless piece of art!

Do you remember your first girlf...? Computer, I mean COMPUTER! Mine was the good old C64. I still have it, over 40 years later... what a journey. Your turn.

@exQUIZitely Action Replay cartridge to convert games from tape to disk

@exQUIZitely First ever computer used was BBC B at primary school. Learned a bit of the best BASIC dialect was very disappointing trying BASIC on the Commodore 64 I eventually got at home. I did have a 1541 disk drive although games were hard to come by so got a Action Replay

@nmrqip You Brits really are addicted to cutting every little bit of investment in your public services, aren't you? And then you wonder why your country has become such a dilapidated shithole. Absolute peasant brained country.

@ReissOmari @staceybarnfield No touch ups! iPhone 12

Almost 2 years to the day, @staceybarnfield took what could possibly be my all time favourite photo of Birmingham. With this mornings haze, I saw the opportunity to try and replicate this masterpiece, now with Makers Place tower complete. Taken on iPhone 17 Pro.

@Doubtfu1 @TheFigen_ Fire regulations mean ornate internal doors are scrapped and replaced with plain boring ones

@TheFigen_ This is not a technological problem. Its a regulations problem. The government made it so expensive to get things approved and based everything off perceived safety. Regulations and control ruin everything. Slash them and watch our society flourish.

Before technology advanced, everything was art and elegance…

@WavamunoE @TheFigen_ Yet today, railways take 10 times longer to build and cost 100 times more than in 1880

I think this is what happens when people look too much at the time and think they will leave soon. During these ages, people created crafts with soul regardless of the time it took. This generation is like, "Get someone who can do it as soon as we want, or we'll get someone who can do it faster than you." I think time has affected us more than we think. We just need to slow down and give things as much time as we can.

@InclusiveBuild @DuncanStott Problem is evil housebuilder corporations building shoddy rubbish which barely meets insulation targets. No infrastructure is ever built. Don’t know the town but are there any ped or cycle links over the tube line? There seems to be a good reason housing is on one side of track

@DuncanStott This is literally making Theydon Bois into a dormitory for central London and destroying it’s green areas,

One of the most extreme examples of unaffordability in the whole country, but they just don't care. NIMBYs continue to suck the lifeblood out of our country.

@RichParkerLab WHEN!?!?

Better days are ahead for Dudley Town Centre. The new Metro line and transport interchange will be a fantastic gateway to the town centre, offering a modern, affordable and reliable way to visit. And I want to make sure those businesses are ready to make the most of it. expressandstar.com/news/local-hub…

@TransportForWM @limebike @MayorWestMids Coming to a canal near you soon.
