@JennyRafter @AngliaRuskin Me too

Must confess, this makes me a wee bit proud!!! @AngliaRuskin

@guywjc Well all that creative effort takes it out of a chap

Morris is exhausted after writing his Christmas cards

@MrJackLowe I thought this was the generation who care so much for the environment

@primarily_prog Good hard cover for rolling joints on

Now playing …

@Dunibear I can hear the “wahooo” from here

Morning 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Well I tried to watch the netball final but the commentators ( who must have been paid by the syllable) completely ruined it - they just would not shut up.

@NewarkAirMus There are tiny bits, like this, left of Mepal airfield, very close to my house. The joy of finding bits of original runway and working drains, derelict buildings and dispersal pans.

On our #SouthfieldSite we have an access point to one of the original #RAFWinthorpe main runway drains & it still carries run-off water! #DiverseAviation

@Idster65 All time favourite

Hitting the classics tonight. The quality of this recoding belies its 50+ years. #NowPlaying The Yes Album

@Gliderpilot44 Cool - get the lights and siren on quickly before they change their mind

Apparently I’ve been assigned a new police car.

@1940Andy I think only Britain could produce people such as those golf club members. Damn bad show waging war and bleeding on our carpet.

A satisfying feeling when one finishes a project just before giving oneself a few days off! All put to bed for Osprey Publishing. Onto the next project…

"Technology was made for man and not man for technology." #OnThisDay 1961: Brave New World novelist Aldous Huxley spoke with John Morgan about dystopian and utopian worlds and the increasing influence that technology was having over peoples lives.

@akazeeox Bizarrely managed is right, there seems to a willingness to actively delay the whole thing.

It's not as if there seems to be any pressure or urgency on the project being finished. Some parts are now open, sure, but it seems hit and miss along the whole stretch and poorly managed (with open holes with associated detritus left for weeks on end).🤔 #TheThickRedLine [3/3]

Another tree bites the dust and is left in a cluttered pile of red fencing to stagnate in #Cambridge's - increasingly-bizarrely managed - #MiltonRoad "upgrade". (Presumably to be replaced by a smaller sapling in a slightly different spot later down the line. JUST LIKE BEFORE.)

@ukmoths @savebutterflies Lunar Hornet Moth in our garden - never seen or heard of one before.

@HurricaneR4118 @IWMDuxford @ACDuxford And what a hot day that was - in all senses

Launching for the Sunday’s display at @IWMDuxford alongside 3 Spitfires. An unforgettable experience! @ACDuxford

@unamccormack You could add several more degrees on Duxford airfield 😳. I manfully withstood it though.

@HurricaneR4118 @IWMDuxford Saw you today ( Sunday) - excellent. Americans from 351st Air Refuelling were also most impressed.

A “pinch yourself” moment at @IWMDuxford yesterday in formation with 3 Spitfires. Thank you to the superb team at ARCo for making this possible…. And the best bit is that I get to do it all again today 😊

@SarahLouMiller @IWMDuxford @Aircraft_ARC Man, that was hot there today

FANTASTIC to see the world’s only airworthy Bristol Blenheim Mk I flying today at @IWMDuxford’s air show. Stunning aircraft. Did you know that at the outbreak of WWII the RAF had more of these (over 1000) than any other aircraft type? @Aircraft_ARC

Well as a “Thunderstorm” that was truly pathetic - any rain that it dropped must have evaporated on the way down.

@karenfthompson Cheese and onion roll takes beating

Peeps of a certain age, Who remembers this blast from the past … Cheese and pickle roll and .. A cheese and sliced onion roll …😋 Never seem to see these anymore…

@ProfBrianCox @TobyVenables And did you complain - no, people today don’t know there born

You were lucky. I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night half an hour before I went to bed, drink a cup of sulphuric acid, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad and our mother would kill us and dance about on our graves singing Hallelujah. And you try and tell the young people of today that ... they won't believe you.
