Another round of disengaging from Twitter (aka X). I don't plan to post new content here, but I may reply. If I've unfollowed you, I probably follow you at the Blue place. If you are not there yet, why not? Note: I will not follow you at both places.

@alnavasa @fia @F1 Piastri was ahead of Sainz and was allowed to pass the safety car. WTF!

@Dozibugger Ni!

@JustsomeguyJohn A shrubbery?

One of these is a bush….

@NRWGCharity Kensal Green Cemetery is the last resting place of many who fought at Waterloo and others who saw or spoke to Napoleon on St Helena. On 20th June there will be an opportunity to visit some of these.

@CommunityFibre A third one earlier today. I've lodged a support ticket.

@JustsomeguyJohn Hi there, sorry about the trouble with your broadband. Send us a private message so we can access your account and assist you further. Kind regards, Jane

@CommunityFibre Are you doing work in NW6? We've had two brief outages in the last 12 hours.

@Kickstarter There seems to be something wrong with the search. The "Newest" search hasn't shown any new projects for a couple of days.

@victorizzov @F1 It's going to be a really interesting test of the new rules to see if he's able to overtake as he's done before.

It’s a massive blow for his title defense right out of the gate, especially with Mercedes looking strong (Russell on pole, apparently). But knowing Max, he’ll be charging through the field like a man possessed in the race—expect some epic overtakes if the car holds up. Damage limitation for the team now, with Hadjar stepping up to P3 in quali as a bright spot for them.

"It's Max!" 😱 Verstappen's Qualifying crash, as seen from the stands 👀 #F1 #AusGP

@fia Nothing about this says that any engine is illegal. If the FIA changes the testing method half way through the season and a team has to change their design as a result, then they may well seek a relaxation on the budget cap.

The first meeting of the Formula 1 Commission of 2026 took place today, February 18 in Bahrain. The meeting was chaired by FIA Single-Seater Director Nikolas Tombazis and FOM President and CEO Stefano Domenicali. Full Statement: fia.com/news/formula-1…

@Samsea04 @fia The only thing that will make them do anything is if they make less money. So, if it ruins racing, stop watching, don't buy merch, tell people it's rubbish on social media.

@fia So what are you going to do if energy harvesting or energy management ruins racing when get to the season opener of Australia.

Ahead of the new Formula 1 season, the FIA unveils new safety advancements (1/2). #FIA #F126

"On one day, five of the 20 courts were sitting empty because there is not the budget to keep them open. What should be the busiest crown court in the country is being forced to run at reduced capacity..." This is why there's a backlog, not cos of juries! thetimes.com/uk/law/article…

For years, the Post Office and Fujitsu covered up the bugs in their faulty Horizon computer software, blaming the subpostmasters using it. Thousands had their lives ruined. Some took their own lives. Now Channel 4 News has obtained a 2006 contract between the two companies - overlooked despite being uploaded to the Post Office Inquiry's website - which a forensic accountant who investigated the Horizon scandal has described as "dynamite".

Post Office had deal with Fujitsu to fix Horizon errors 19 years ago. They lied to courts, parliamentary committees. Postmasters knowingly wrongfully prosecuted, Lives destroyed. Compensation being paid from public purse. No one charged for conspiracy. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@The_A_Disruptor @montie "disingenuous comment" is an overly polite way of say "a lie".

@montie The legal limit didn’t change Tim, so this is a disingenuous comment

Earlier this year - because this Labour govt enabled the necessary parliamentary time - it became legal to abort (ie kill) unborn human life up until the day of birth. THE DAY OF BIRTH. Most supporters of abortion throughout the world recognise the horror of this. These are recognisably babies and lives that could easily survive outside of the womb. Labour basically legalised infanticide. Save the fox but follow North Korea in discarding human life. Truly Perverse.

@TheUnrealDougP @MercedesF1_Hub @Motorsport_IT Alternatively: Mercedes (and potentially Red Bull Racing) have reportedly found a legal way to increase compression ratio, generating an increase in horsepower from a given volume of fuel. Ferrari, Honda and Audi missed it and are upset.

@MercedesF1_Hub @Motorsport_IT Mercedes (and potentially Red Bull Racing) have reportedly found a loophole in the 2026 engine regulations which will allow increased compression ratio, generating an increase in horsepower from a given volume of fuel. Ferrari, Honda and Audi are set to protest to the FIA.

🚨 Mercedes engine compression boost tricks were leaked after an employee reportedly switched sides and shared secrets with rival teams. [@Motorsport_IT]

Here, from Lammy's appearance in front of the Justice Committee, is what's REALLY going on. Here, Lammy confirms that even if the backlog was at a sustainable level, he would STILL be looking at introducing restrictions on jury trials!

@AWCook0558 @philatrail The inadequacy of the drainage channel is not the root cause. It was inadequate, either because the design was inadequate or because the construction didn't match the design. Further, inadequate design could have been a consequence of inadequate site data.

@philatrail Isn't the drainage channel issue the root cause here?

RAIB’s investigation of the train derailment at Shap on 3 November finds that remote ground monitoring equipment detected the landslip but its data didn’t go to Network Rail’s control centre. Earth started moving 4 hours before derailment.

@SimonCalder Berlin last week. 2 hours from plane to exit - but they weren't doing any of the new stuff, just totally under-resourced.

EU entry exit system causing ‘3-hour waits’ at airports as border checks take 70% longer. Airports group is calling for the roll-out of the EES to be slowed – or risk, by January, "mayhem for travellers and chaos at our airports" & “serious safety hazards” independent.co.uk/travel/news-an…

@NapWarsPod They were able to keep him under closer scrutiny there - just in case!

@Brent_Council Several streets around us aren't on the list, but have trees. They were cleared last year, what are you doing this year?

🍁 You wouldn't be-leaf how many bags of leaves we've collected this autumn! Our teams have collected hundreds and hundreds of bags from across the borough and there's no signs of stopping them! Visit our website below to see if your street is next 👇
