@FennellJW @artofdalife I think its possibly from the rude obnoxious dialect.

@KyivIndependent So when Russia wins the war, and the UK needs oil, Putin can tell then to get stuffed.
The UK is finished.

@Microinteracti1 Good I hope so. Infantito and his Fifa cohort are thieves and they deserve the bed they've made with this US administration.

The United States is so toxic on the world stage right now that it can’t fill hotels or sell World Cup tickets.
Let that land.
FIFA projected $30.5 billion in economic impact from millions of international visitors.
That demand never showed up.
Hotels in Atlanta, Dallas, Miami, Philadelphia and San Francisco have slashed match-day rates by a third from their peak.
FIFA has cancelled tens of thousands of reserved rooms across all 16 host cities.
Some hotels report cancellation rates above 95%.
The reasons aren’t hard to find. Anti-American sentiment. Fear of border crossings. The Iran war driving up oil prices and airfares. And tickets priced into the stratosphere, with finals seats hitting $10,990 a pop.
Industry executives are now openly blaming the Trump administration for the shortfall.
Tourism economists say the Iran war made an already bad sentiment problem worse.
Empty stadiums are now a real possibility.
It happened at the Club World Cup last summer.
It could happen again, on American soil, at the biggest sporting event on the planet.
The White House says this will be “the greatest World Cup ever.”
The market disagrees.

@Zaphod2042 @Pret The last straw is when they bought Eat (which I thought was decent) before Covid. Monopolised the sandwich scene. All I taste now is the colour grey. I miss an Italian sandwich shop everyday....with an apple donut. And the coffee is rank

Reached the stage where there is not a single item of food in @Pret that I don't find revolting.
Debated getting a roll and butter for lunch, but even that's criminally priced.

@haynesdeborah Look for the cathedral spire. Being such a sight. There's always a crowd of tourists to ask.

BREAKING: UK Chip startup Fractile is raising $200m to take on Nvidia!
The company is raising at a $1bn valuation.
Fractile’s chips rely on a different kind of memory technology to Nvidia’s GPUs called static random access memory (SRAM).
This is to improve the speed and cost of AI inference.
The raise follows another big UK Chip raise - Olix (from @jamesdacombe) which raised $220m at a $1bn valuation.
Two years ago it would have been unimaginable to have two UK unicorns become unicorns by trying to take on Nvidia, and yet here we are.
It's great to see the UK build hard things again.
LETS GO

@thinkdefence I feel for him, it was painful to listen to on LBC, Ferrari loves a soundbite gotcha, and that instantly makes politicans less candid but them's the brakes in politics. Collective responsibility.

My thoughts on this
1. Tough day at the office for Mr Healey, but worse things happen at sea
2. He should have a set of key facts cards prepared by his office.
3. The numbers are too low, but not limited to ships

How many frigates and destroyers does the UK have at its disposal? Defence Secretary John Healey can't seem to tell @NickFerrariLBC with any certainty.

"Hour by hour, the fire spread through the space between the arch’s inner and outer layer, which was designed to keep a hermetic seal. Four days after the strike, it was completely ablaze. Worse, the fire had spread deep into an interior membrane made of polymers and other materials — wrapped all around the arch — that firefighters could not reach. There was only one way to fight the fire, and it involved cutting even more holes in the arch." ...
Read this terrifying and well presented @FT story about the hole punched in Chornobyl's rooftop by a Russian drone that the @EBRD says will cost €500 to fix.
