@BenGoldsmith Farmland for centuries. Wetlands for millennia. We don't try and stop the tides, so why on earth do we try to pump the wetlands.

It’s unfortunate; but the farmer is standing in the middle of *a wetland*. The Somerset Levels is meant to flood in winter. Spending a ton of public money pumping water out of a wetland is mad. Better to support farmers’ transition to a more suitable way of farming in a wetland.

@RAF_Luton That's a defiant.

Photo of the Day: The Spitfire is 100yrs old today! It first flew on the 30th Feb 1926 when Sqn Ldr Nottie Zactly-Trew flew from the Boeing factory in Bristol (Gloucestershire) to RAF Milton Keynes (Cambridgeshire) Happy Birthday #Spitfire90 Photographed from a Canberra

@MaxVillman Anyone able to explain the jdams - no effective against modern air defence?

Former fighter pilot here. Exactly as predicted: the air defence of Iran has been completely dismantled. The US is now loading jdams - weapons that have no place in a fight between a working modern air defense and fighters. But - It has a very good place if your fighters can operate without real risk of anything but AAA and Manpads - allowing you to stay well above those kind of low tech systems while pinpointing strikes.

@SeaSpitfires @NewForestRamble And I'm blocked. Kermit the frog has more substance than that chap 🤣

@SeaSpitfires @NewForestRamble Whoopsies..

I think he just pulls out words he’s heard other people use and thinks that they sound cool. All because I dared to say the defences at Omaha really weren’t exceptional. Definitely hit a nerve 😂

@tcmccarthy_ @curryman07 What, because they might challenge your muppetry? Well that would be a great shame now wouldn't it..

@curryman07 I knew you people would show up

Careful. If a woke British amateur historian sees this, he/she will explain how it was Britain who really prevented Germany from getting a nuke. Not Norway, nor the Americans.

@AlanWatsonFeat1 And not forgetting @BeaverTrust also.

I was glad to be in Glen Affric yesterday when 4 more beavers (Castor fiber) were released into Loch Beinn a'Mheadhoin. This was carried out by Trees for Life in partnership with Forestry & Land Scotland, who manage the NNR there, & Green MSP Ariane Burgess set one beaver free.

@JamesPearceLFC A Titi and Torres mix.

Shades of peak Torres with that second goal from Ekitike

@RinoTheBouncer 100%

Name it!🚀

@RedFiveModels @Alscalemodels @almurray @WeHaveWaysPod Don't forget there's everything you could ever want on cults/thingiverse!

@Alscalemodels @almurray @WeHaveWaysPod Knocked up a Ciggy Compo Tim in like 20 mins. Can do TONNES of stuff now. So long at it's like a box or summit. Fabric may be a bridge too far just yet.

Last night I wanted some spent 303 casings for the big jeep. About 2 hours later I had some. I can't believe I didn't learn CAD earlier. @almurray @WeHaveWaysPod

@sw_holocron Why did they release so close to one another, that's basically a very similar game type?

Today is the 10th anniversary of STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT and the 8th anniversary of STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT II. We need BATTLEFRONT III 🤞

@BattlefieldInte Absolutely 3, no discussing. Glad to see BF2: modern combat given some attention though as always escaped it!

"Oh good, another documentary about how poor little Britain managed to defeat Hitler the military genius against all the odds with no resources, help, planning, engineering, science or competence but instead by being really super plucky and having stiff upper lips." youtube.com/shorts/QBz_kfs…

@AntonyRowntree @WeHaveWaysPod When was there a Cromwell there? 🙈

Memories of past Fests @WeHaveWaysPod Do we really have to wait a year for the next one🙁

@Lensofhistory84 @SpitfireFilly Loved the talk @SpitfireFilly, did I miss it in the bookshop though? Didn't see it sadly!

My latest reading from @SpitfireFilly

@AntonyRowntree Where was the pineapple from?!

You didn’t buy many books at Warfest this year, did you not bring much back? Errrrrm!!!

@jamesjhistory @Bert_Plumswang Would love more coastal command content around Catalinas (family connection) and Sunderlands. I also assume coastal and bomber commands in Battle of Britain has been covered in an ep?

@Bert_Plumswang Not in one episode but we've mentioned it in several. Something we'd definitely like to talk about more!

Also if you would like to be a guest on the show and/or have ideas about topics do get in touch!

@almurray Turns out I went to @BofBBunker on today of all days!

Finally putting this to bed.

@jamesjhistory Turns out I accidentally went to the @BofBBunker today of all today's on the way back from @WeHaveWaysPod fest. Standing where Churchill watched it unfound 85 years ago.

Even though it's only been a few days since I last did so the 15th September requires another viewing of Battle of Britain doesn't it?

@BattlefieldInte Kharg island

Which map would you like to see return in Battlefield 6? 🔥 #Battlefield #Battlefield6 #BF6
