Out in Bluebell Wood.

@circlethywagons @McFaul Why dont you just look at a plane tracker app at all the US military aircraft crossing them UK and Europe en route to the Middle East?

@McFaul That's perfectly fine. No one in NATO is obligated to fight with or for anyone even with an Article V. But we didn't tell them they couldn't fly over the Atlantic to get there. that would be obscene. But wait a minute, the EU did that... Friends do NOT do THAT.

@BLackgold_5 Dornier Do-217 I do believe, though I don't know what the thing on the top is for, but I'd probably guess it is something to keep the crew compartment pressurised.

Can you identify this aircraft? And what is this thing on top?

An exciting discovery from Scotland - this 1800-year-old slice of pizza was recently unearthed in the ruins of a broch. The dish was introduced to the region c. AD 83 by the Romans. Fragments of oil jars found nearby suggest that the Picts deep fried rather than baked their pizza.

@klara_sjo It’s correct His name was Adi Dassler not Adeeee

Just learned some British people pronounce adidas as addy-dass

@WinterPragma @cultured_spice Deceased cadaveric donations of kidneys and some livers is established practice.

@cultured_spice But organs can only be harvested from a living person. So your life is deprioritized if the hospital wants your organs for other patients. And that decision is made without your knowledge or consent.

No because I’m not selfish. My organs are useless to me after I’m gone. Someone could remove one and make a nice casserole for all I care.

@X_JAdams @cultured_spice Rosie is absolutely correct. All UK transplantation is NHS funded.

@cultured_spice Really? You are 100% certain that at no point money changes hands for organ transplants. In England, nobody pays anyone, NHS does it all, every step, for free. You are absolutely certain? I'm certain you're wrong.

@SeabrookCrisps Kiddermince?

Can you guess which flavour’s coming back next month?

@huggan_anas LIz Truss?

@verdant256 @MadelaineLucyH @DAaronovitch Black Death would like a word…

@MadelaineLucyH @DAaronovitch You're ridiculing people for their legitimate concerns about *literally the biggest demographic upheaval in history*.

Remember when right wing meant “oh I don’t like high taxes” and not “until Britain is 100% genetically Saxon we are a failed state”

@DenisGajcew @Capybaras_Daily Which is pronounced ozzelburrry

@DenisGajcew @Capybaras_Daily It’s lovely around Owslebury.

A 9-month-old capybara escaped from a zoo just after arriving and is now on the run in England.

@Bible__Sword @Capybaras_Daily Never been here have you…

@Capybaras_Daily Someone in England will eat it

@Marc9mm @Capybaras_Daily Are you daft?

@hipacrocapig @Capybaras_Daily Eh?

@Capybaras_Daily It could be on the menu the way things are going in England 🐀😋

@Capybaras_Daily Just a few fields away from me. Waiting to spot it.

@2Wheeledbarbie @UtvMy @n00dles71 True yes, but once he’s out it’s safety first as he is not safe, so gets priority until he’s through.

@drdpogson @UtvMy @n00dles71 Driver pulled out just as the rider was approaching the first parked car. The driver should have waited. They wouldn't have done it had it been another car.

Ah yes, that famously crystal clear bit of the Highway Code that definitely says cyclists must magically disappear so drivers can overtake buses without the mild inconvenience of waiting. Really keeps the roads safe for the hard working drivers.

@2Wheeledbarbie @UtvMy @n00dles71 Once they have committed they have priority until they are safe again. Highway code.

@UtvMy @n00dles71 The driver is not correct.

@n00dles71 To be fair, once the other driver commits they have priority until their less safe manoeuvre is safe again. Highway Code.

@GregBaldwinIroh @TailsAndy Not just on toast! Alongside a sausage bacon and fried egg with perhaps mushrooms! Remember egg touching bean should never be seen. The sausage is the bean dam.

@TailsAndy We were at Costco where you have to buy in bulk. I pretty much like all beans so I figured they’ll get eaten!

British blokes…. I’ve purchased several “tins” of Heinz (British) beans because the idea of beans on toast intrigues me. I eagerly anticipate a tasting. Other than toasting bread and heating beans… Are there any other steps/ingredients?
