@HJackmanEA @HydrometryEA @EnvAgencyYNE Ahhh cool, not seen one of those in action before

@imchris87 @HydrometryEA @EnvAgencyYNE Hi Chris, it’s a Rio Grande. It has its own power supply in the plastic casing, works a treat.

We’re out measuring the river flow on the River Calder and River Aire this morning, pictures are from Methley Bridge just outside Castleford. Understanding river flows help us better #warn & #inform in the future.

The greatest fantasy world wasn't made by J K Rowling or George R R Martin, or even Tolkein. It was made by Terry Pratchett. It's only the fact that no one has ever made a decent screen adaption of Discworld that more people don't think so.

@Englishomestead @AndyPlumb4 @Barker4ReformUK You remember brexit? I have low expectations for the uk populace.

Hi, @Barker4ReformUK 👋 Frontline NHS worker here. I can confirm that Hospital Trusts are most definitely NOT ‘only recruiting foreign born staff’. You will be pleased to hear that, at my place of work this week, we have welcomed five newly qualified “indigenous” Nurses.

@HuinGuillaume Inevitable jag comparison. This on its simplest level plays to Volvo’s heritage as safe and considerate. The jag ad ignored all of their brand heritage. I already drive a Volvo.

Volvo posted a 3 min and 46 second ad on Instagram, shot by Hoyte Van Hoytema, the cinematographer of Interstellar and Oppenheimer. It goes against every single rule you can think about as a social lead. Length. Format. Over-produced. Every comment under the ad said it immediately put Volvo in their consideration set. It's fucking fantastic.

@WolfgangBremer Feels like in an attempt to appeal to a younger market and “modernise” themselves they have completely given up on all their brand heritage and history, interesting choice.

What are we thinking about the #Jaguar brand refresh? 🤔 #design #brand #logo

Oh look it’s that horrible feeling in my stomach I got while waiting for the brexit result.

@defaultica I worked at a number of integrated agencies where there was no distinction between the two. It’s good fun.

How easy would it be for someone to go from a design job to a marketing job? It feels like they sit close to each other and would share many transferable skills.

How many 🌲 make a forest? So far @SportPursuit have planted 1085 from people using my referral link 😎

@gray I look at the @whathifi recommendation for my price range. It’s a good place to start and they make it all pretty easy to understand.

@abidaker Ha good rule!

@imchris87 that's the best way to enjoy a place, sounds lovely! I have a thing here where if we walk within sight of an archaeological park on the way to get an ice cream, it counts as going to a museum

listed via shop, 60 euros

@RobDaviesEA Off to gauge some high flows later. And so it begins.

Over 74mm of rain has fallen in the last 24 hours in Bishops Castle, Shropshire. Keep up to date with the latest warnings & data here - Find river, sea, groundwater & rainfall levels - GOV.UK (check-for-flooding.service.gov.uk)

@abidaker Awesome! It’s was our first holiday since covid, but with our 3 year old 😂 mostly just mooched around and enjoyed the atmosphere and food, loved it.

@imchris87 I'm doing some A3 ones of Venice soon, there's been requests :) Jealous you got to go there actually, I would love to go.

To be honest if he had gone to the concert and not used his position to get an introduction I’d be disappointed. Wtf is wrong with people, it’s not like he awarded a multi-million pound contract to her down the pub.

@archer_rs Don’t forget that St George was a “Turkish” soldier that never set foot in England.

Watching Brexit supporters lose their mind as they slowly understand that, a) 1066 was an invasion by the Normans and the English lost. b) The English are not Anglo Saxons c) The Farage family were French Hugenouts immigrants d) English is not the indigenous language of England

@abidaker Absolutely love this Abi, was there a couple of weeks ago!!

@LukeRowe1990 Let’s revisit this stat for how many wins (stages and GCs) that you were an integral part of.

Sadly only 2 pro races over 13 years, how many you got?

@gray Although fwiw I enjoyed it. The visuals are absolutely stunning.

@gray Prequal, loosely based on the silmarillion but only allowed to use source material from a few notes they found down Tolkien’s sofa. And not his favourite sofa, the one in the spare room.

Finally started Rings of Power and … is it or isn’t it a prequel to the films? I thought it was a separate thing, but dear lord they’ve lent HARD into the tone and design of the Jackson adaptation.
