@archer_rs Umm, close enough? Gutted for England (and Ireland) after a sterling performance.

Just settling down to watch the France : England game. Might be closer than people think. #6nations

@AffinityWater @HertsPolice Thanks for the update Holly. I did ask for email updates to my reports, which never arrived, and if this information had been communicated to me, and in you online information, then time could have been saved. Also, hopefully you are liaising with @thameswater.

@MarkHarper99 @HertsPolice Good morning, Thank you for reporting this leak, we have attended this on the 14th of January 2026 and found that it is not coming from our mains and the leak is coming from a drainage cover, so this would be down to Thames Water to fix, thank you. - Holly

Please @AffinityWater, a leak was reported under Leak122981 and was deemed as not a leak! Due to the rain and a large amount of water escaping, the road is now basically closed with stranded cars and @HertsPolice soon in attendance. Reported again under Leak123121.

@metoffice Hate it. Looks like you hired Fisher Price to design it! The useful data is missing. If this is about accessibility then users can change their device settings so it doesn't affect the rest of us. Such a dumb decision to change it that much.

@Lenniesaurus C4 News! Great segment and interview. Congrats.

@AJamesMcCarthy Looking to get up to 250m with clear ESE horizon view in the southwest UK for 1939 moonrise, and hope for no cloud. Looking good at the moment. No special equipment but gonna try a few phone tricks. Looking forward to all the great shots posted.

The eclipse starts in ~90 min. At first it’ll barely be noticeable, as only the outer portion of Earth’s shadow (penumbra). The real show begins once the umbra begins to pass across the moon’s face about an hour later. If it is night for you during this period, you can see it!

@archer_rs Interesting. I look forward to the expansion of this thread...

I am posting only this. I have just returned from Israel, I had business meetings with people from the various communities there Jewish, Muslim and Christian. Almost everything you are being told about Gaza by the Western media is innacurate. #Gaza #Israel

Fast taxi of the awesome Vulcan happening now! youtube.com/watch?v=hs_Jo2…

@TheMurkyDepths Sorry, but glad we moved from Kidbrooke. Bringing up a 5 year old is hard enough, but this is something I don't want to her to endue, amongst many other things. It's sad, because I miss Greenwich and what it can offer.

If you're wondering why Greenwich traffic is even heavier than usual right now it's because the A2 is partially blocked, and with two tunnels now feeding onto the same roads south of the river predictable miles-long jams ensue. Always a big flaw with Silvertown tunnel

@Londonist @WorldBollard Eh, 'pointless'?

Have you ever spotted the mysterious 'pointless' bollards of King's Cross? One of those trivial little details that, once you're aware of them, you'll want to point out to others londonist.com/2011/04/the-my…

@RAF_Luton Oh, I can't wait until our 'special friends' across the pond wake up 🤣

Fact of the Day: The famous B17 "Enola Gay" has been renamed to fit in with DEI guidelines. "Enola LGBTQ+" was the first fighter jet to drop a 8008.5 kiloton semi-nuclear bomb on Bradford (Lancashire) during WW1 on the 31st Feb 1926 Photographed from a Canberra

@AJamesMcCarthy Just downloaded, that's some file! Astonishing image. Only viewed on phone but will get it on the TV later in all it's glory.

If you're on my email list, check your email within the next hour for a surprise

@Cathrinmachin This was 2007 with a relatively good digital bridge camera (zoomed after taken). Still chuffed with it, thought might try and enhance one day.

Reply with the last pic of the moon you took 🥹💕 Want to find the “look at the moon people”

@StuartHumphryes Merry Christmas to you. My parents loved your book as their present. Thank you for a great year.

Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas. This year has been quite a struggle for me, with ill-health affecting my ability to work on photos as much as I hoped. My output's greatly reduced & yet your support has remained enthusiastic & positive. For that I sincerely thank you! I hope 2025 will be a more productive and much brighter year. Thank you for your patience & support. Merry Christmas x

@TheMurkyDepths And just found you on blusky, which if I'd thought about first, would have posted there!

@TheMurkyDepths I agree. But ironically I've just watch Jago Hazzard's new video on YouTube about this. Opinions vary😉

Few do it but I'm coming to the defence of the Cable Car again. Much good for commuting? No. Good for much else? Oh yes. Popular with tourists, often heaving, has more users than pre-pandemic, makes TfL money and cheap for even occasional users. fromthemurkydepths.co.uk/2024/11/26/in-…

@TheMurkyDepths Actually went on it recently after a forced trip to IKEA as my partner had never been on it. Even she was impressed😄

@TheMurkyDepths I've only ever used it once to get to the ExCel and several other times with my young daughter who loves it and treats it like a rollercoaster. Personally, no other need. Found out about the 10 trip ticket from you too late, as we've now move away.

@StuartHumphryes Just ordered three! One for me and two for Christmas presents. Love your work Stuart. One of my twitter feed highlights x

@archer_rs She is annoyingly my local MP, so amen to that!

Kemi Badenoch may well oversee the end of the UK Conservative Party.
