If you're British you have absolutely no business saying 'Gen Zee'. We had generation X, generation Y, and now we have generation Z. Zed.

I’m 100 percent convinced the Art Deco design of Hoover Dam is America’s greatest ever public project and we’ll probably never come close again

You know whenever anyone’s like, I ran the length of Africa, or I ran 63 ultramarathons in a row? None of it is anywhere near as impressive as this clip of Rod Hull being chucked into a freezer by Emu. It’s just perfect. Such great physical comedy.
Prof. Frank McDonough@FXMC1957

17 March 1999. Rod Hull died (aged 63). He always appeared with Emu, a mute and highly aggressive arm-length puppet. Hull died in a tragic accident while trying to adjust the TV aerial on the roof of his bungalow, then slipping and falling to his death.

The Nigerian President @officialABAT is observing Ramadan. In order to accommodate him and other Muslim guests - canapés are being served before the State Banquet, for Iftar, to give sustenance to those who can’t wait for the main meal to start (usually 9pm). Ramadan Mubarak ☪️

@chrisadperform @tomhfh Not enough room…. didn’t stop a Pan-Am 707 mistaking it for Heathrow and landing there in the 1970’s. They had to close the A40 to allow it to safely take off 😂

@tomhfh I've been driving past the Northolt airfield on the A40 for decades. I've never seen a plane take off, land or even move. Couldn't it be converted for commercial use?

Currently waiting for a takeoff slot in our nationally hobbled hub airport. Just two runways means far more time stuck on the tarmac, just like now. It also means more time in the air for planes coming in to land, which need to loop and loop until they can access a slot. We should probably build another few runways here. A modest suggestion:

@Rob_scar @tomhfh Yes and today there would be conflicting movements as it was a cross runway. As an aside my BAH-LHR flight was a BOAC Super VC-10 operated for GF in October 1975.

@PubsSaving I might agree with ur sentiment but the land is worth significantly more than selling pints and £18.50 fish and chips

Tower Tavern, 21 Clipstone Street #fitzrovia Rebuilt c1970. Looks like pub may be demolished. Long term closed, lease expired. Flat roofed pubs are very fashionable! Why not save it? Landlord is University of Westminster. #closedpubs #demolition #pubhistory

@simonhancock_uk @jonmikesav8 Annoying who? Other teams fan bases? Isn’t that normal? Wrexham is arguably Britains best run and managed football club. And the fans are expecting. The warmth you talk about came from the perceived impression that the take over would go nowhere. Fans have a right to be proud.

@jonmikesav8 My take is that there was genuine warmth towards Wrexham when we saw a run down club recover. However, that humility from their fans has gone and they are arrogantly proclaiming how great they are and they deserve this "hard won" success. That's what's annoying people now 2/2

I don’t get the animosity towards Wrexham. Let’s be honest. The supporters of any club outside the PL (and even some IN it) would love 2 have famous owners who invest a fortune and made their club world famous. It’s probably made The Turf the most famous pub in the world too.

@McWhirterAlex @tomhfh It did but the runway were much shorter totally inadequate for modern jets. The number of runways was to allow for wind direction.

@tomhfh Tom ...many years ago LHR had 3 maybe 4 runways. Definitely had a 3rd runway because my flight back from BAH used it.

@rorysutherland Yeah, wildlife, nice but a bit bland. Scenes from great British Films however that would get vote. Thinking Carry On’s, James Bond, Italian Job. But mainly Carry On’s.

Does the definition of "wildlife" include a bulldog clutching a pint mug? I'd quite like that.
BBC Breakfast@BBCBreakfast

British wildlife will replace historical figures on the next series of Bank of England banknotes - and the public will get their say on which animals and birds will appear. On #BBCBreakfast Peter Ruddick explained why it's the end people such as Winston Churchill, Jane Austen and Alan Turing on new £5, £10, £20 and £50 notes bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@tomhfh And that’s why you’re not a civil engineer Tom. You’ve just planned for four new runways. Three of which could never be used.

Thought this was a parody, but, no, the US Mint really removed the olive branch—but not the arrows—held by the eagle on the dime. The design goes back to the super-woke days of 1782. Link in next tweet.
