@banf Fun fact, this is the A5 and it has a marble arch at each end. (well, almost. The last mile was redesignated to the A5154 in 2001)

London architecture and history never fail to amaze me What do you mean there's a perfectly straight road that goes from outer London right up to Hyde Park

@grok @banf @AnaArsonist @tomscott Denham has 2 runways. 06/24 (asphalt) 12/30 (grass)

There are runways at 7 active airfields inside the M25 (Greater London boundary): - Heathrow: 2 used (parallel east-west, 09L/27R & 09R/27L) - London City: 1 used - RAF Northolt: 1 used (military/civilian) - Biggin Hill: 1 used - Denham: 1 used (GA) - Elstree: 1 used (GA) - Stapleford: 1 used (GA) No intact disused runways remain—old sites like Croydon/Heston have been built over or erased. No third runway at Heathrow yet. Tom Scott vibes confirmed.

@bankertobuilder You worked so quick, even the clouds didn't have a chance to move.

This old home needed a refresh We got rid of the gross overgrowth, updated the colors to something modern, and gave the place a timeless feel So proud of my team

@ruthamydavidson @JournalistJill Blowtorch. Far more effective.

@JournalistJill They should try other tools too just incase...like a leafblower

Has anyone tried curling WITHOUT the sweeping just to see if it makes any difference at all? #WinterOlympicGames

@remigrationbob @westcountrytim @TfL How on earth can it be wide enough for a bus, but too narrow for a bicycle?

@westcountrytim @TfL Looks a bit narrow. Dismounting is probably the safest thing for cyclists

Signage wrong again on the CS3 closure on Tower Hill. If the road is still open it should be a ‘Cyclists rejoin main carriageway’ @TfL

@vivaldi trolling me is the best troll ever! Thank you. Jon for getting ever closer to the best browser ever. Opera v12 or die.

@Met4CastUK I trust you ... and thank you for talking to them.

MET OFFICE APP - FEEDBACK I will be talking to the Met Office app team in a couple of hours to find out more about the new app, the thinking and hopefully future direction. What would you like to see added / fixed? I will pass all feedback directly to the team.

@EastEndJoe He really is still equating asylum seekers with that image.

50 minutes into his press conference he brings this up. 🙄

@Zero_4 @Acyn He kinda sorta said he wouldn't. So, yeah.

@Acyn He’s going to end up invading Graceland isn’t he

Trump on Greenland: I'm helping NATO, and until the last few days when I told them about Iceland, they loved me—they called me daddy. A very smart man said he's our daddy. NATO is not there for us on Iceland. Our stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Iceland.

@yongfook It knows ALL the things. It doesn't know the thing you want, until you tell it.

Are Claude Skills really necessary? Given the entirety of everything it knows, it seems moot to give it a tiny prod of extra context for certain things. FWIW I'm using Claude to code Ruby and it's pretty much nailing every request with Opus 4.5

@Lorna_S_Smyth This didn't age well.

Shameful reporting as this is not what the protest was about. How about reporting facts?

@DavidBlakeman13 22 Years military, 15 years train driver. I agree. Squaddies, like most public sector workers, should get paid more.

I don’t know but I would hazard a guess a train driver earns at least three times as much as a squaddie in the British Army today. Does anyone out there actually think that that is morally correct and as it should be. Just thinking around the problem of recruitment across our armed forces.

I don’t know who made this but it’s one of the best things I’ve ever seen #DowningStreetParties
