In the likely event of an emergency, my reserve ‘chute … follow me over to Bluesky

Japanese PM Sanae Takaichi's reaction as Trump says "Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Habour?" Undoubtedly the worst American diplomatic gaffe in post-war US-Japan history.

@Tankslider @Seancockram It’s breaking my head, this - do people not understand simple economics ? Oil companies are extremely good at making money. They would be exploring /extracting more from the North Sea if it was profitable. It’s not because they don’t like cold water !

@Seancockram Cost. 6x the expense (and rising) compared to the cost of extraction elsewhere. Basic energy futures stuff.

I know I'm a bit thick.. but why are we not starting production in the north sea again.. can't be that fucking hard ..

😐

@GadgetsBoy And it will gradually destroy the photographic industry. Don’t say I didn’t warn ‘ya.

@downshep Haha it’s a double edge sword. General consumers will love it but professionals would never use it or love it

The AI create effects are pretty cool, not sure how photographers will feel about it tho. Quick AI prompt and you have alternatives to your photo #S26Ultra

Following fears motorists could start panic buying fuel, one petrol station comes up with a novel way to keep numbers down

@AndyAitcheson Operation Files what files?

@AndyatAuto @raymasseytweets Is that the new Volvo EX-Noncey?

@raymasseytweets You must have a Volvo pun in there too

'By Royal Appointment' #LandRover There's always an automotive angle 😉 (Great work by the team)

@YourSouthend @Tankslider Think Amazon need to invest in more AI for their drivers. Actual Intelligence.

An Amazon Prime driver has got their van stuck in the mud in the Thames Estuary after they drove into the sea following a satnav route. They were trying to reach Foulness Island, near Southend, to make a parcel delivery. But the driver followed a satnav onto The Broomway which is an ancient tidal path across Maplin Sands with a long and dangerous history. It regularly disappears under the sea, is covered by fast-moving tides and thick fog. It is not suitable for vehicles. We published a video of the situation on our Facebook page and Instagram feed. Security staff working for QinetiQ, which manages Foulness Island for the MOD, said the driver abandoned the van as the tide began coming in.

@A1GOY Just remember her real name is Sue-Ellen & it starts to make sense.

Reform really looking like a strong alternative to the Tories that screwed the country for 14 years. They'll take on the elite like no other. Presumably at backgammon after work.

Rantings of your drunk uncle - live from Davos. My thoughts are with the American People. 🇺🇸

@Tankslider @Frozenspeed Yes they’re really sweet things. Until they made a home in my roof & used it as a kill larder. Approx 30 dead & decomposing rabbits gradually dripping through my ceiling. That was a total joy for me to clear up. Nature. Bastards.

@Frozenspeed amazing!

Weasel! Haven't seen one of these before in the garden. Astonishingly agile things.

President Donald J. Trump meets with Harry Potter of Hogwarts in the Oval Office, during which Mr. Potter presented the President with his Triwizard Cup in recognition of the President’s extraordinary proficiency in the dark arts of misinformation, illusion and reality distortion. ✨

@matty_prior @v8oholic To be precise- an Armco Zeekr.

Is this some overweight Chinese electric barge? I don’t recognise it.

@Thecarmagdriver Chobham?

This Green fence hides one of the most iconic bits of tarmac anywhere in the World. #Fiorano 🇮🇹

The irony. Yet another Brexit-UKIP-Reform MEP linked to Russian payments is now living in France. And Farage who made 17 paid appearances on Russia Today is still not living in Clacton. 🇷🇺 #Traitors

@GadgetsBoy 😂

Hi

So Hitler had a micro-penis ! We kind of knew that didn’t we? #Hitler #oneball

Totally on brand for Russia. Stumbling, directionless and failure instantly covered up.

Nearly spat my tea this morning - a ranting Charles Moore giving @BBCr4today a lecture on left wing BBC bias. My life has been ruled by a right wing media who view ANY alternative as extreme left. Their ‘balance’ is not something I want & it’s certainly not a free Press.
