@HullTeslaModel3 My Volkswagen ID knows I go shopping in my local Sainsbury’s every Friday and offers it as a route. Scary stuff but very clever too.

Every day I get in the car, it has preplanned a route to France! I've not asked it to, I've not sent it from the app!? What the heck is happening? Why is it doing this?

@StarbucksUK hi I’ve bought several coffees from you this past week but two of the transactions have not been recorded on the app. Both are from the same drive thru location. Can you assist please. Thanks.

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump announces the US is ON THE VERGE of 100% completing the Iran war, and that America will NOT be responsible for securing the Strait of Hormuz once it's won "We are getting very close to meeting our objectives as we consider WINDING DOWN our great Military efforts..." NO FREE RIDES! "The Hormuz Strait will have to be guarded and policed, as necessary, by other Nations who use it — The United States does not!" "If asked, we will help these Countries in their Hormuz efforts, but it shouldn’t be necessary once Iran’s threat is eradicated. Importantly, it will be an easy Military Operation for them."

“Trump just ran the most brutal loyalty test in NATO history and every single ally failed it.” One of many reasons to leave NATO!

🔴 @British_Airways is returning to Melbourne for the first time in roughly 20 years. Starting January 2027, BA33 will operate LHR to MEL via Kuala Lumpur on a 787-9, giving the airline fifth freedom rights on the KUL-MEL segment. Notably, BA isn't adding capacity between London and KUL, meaning availability there will likely tighten. A second fifth freedom route to Australia, joining their existing LHR-SIN-SYD service. #Aviation #BritishAirways

On the A380, we rarely have to worry about weight restrictions. Hence my puzzlement as to why all the sby pax weren’t onloaded with 30 seats showing available. Luckily 2 couples ahead of me who chose not to split, bagging me the last available seat 😁 #nonrev #stafftravel

Once we control the Strait, Trump should slap a big fucking tariff on all passage for our “allies.

@RealSpitfire Watched an interesting documentary on Amazon last night about the lack of help and support the British and French had in 1956 when the Suez Canal was seized. My Dad was a Grenadier vet there.

My father, who will be 101 yo in April, and a WWII Navy vet, made the mistake of turning on the news today. He saw where European nations refuse to help the US with the Strait of Hormuz. His words “Fk em! Fk NATO. Stop helping them!” I love the Greatest Generation.

BIG JET TV
BIG JET TV@BigJetTVLIVE·
By this time on a Sunday I’m not long from leaving base to head for the filming destination. Full of anticipation and excitement, hopeful that it’ll all work-out knowing there’s a thousand of our family as eager as I am for their weekly dose of friendly interaction. I look forward so much to the first Jet to feature - is that a Quad Jet can see lining-up 👀 on finals? ‘Ok GP LET’S GO, mics good? Everything else popping? Here we go! I’ll go with PTC To you my amazing family, like walking through the front door and being met with that warm greeting, I just love that moment! And the conversation that follows, the tsunami of knowledge, the updates, your’ presence is what powers me, on a day of the week that’s ’ become part of our natural psyche Right now as I write this I feel a sincere level of desperation. I know light is visible to the end, but it’s the not knowing or having any information I can feed-back to you. I know people are saying’ be patient ‘n all, but I’m human and I long for that feeling of normality once again. I’m not gonna be signing-up to any marathons here, just back on a well managed regime to be back in the seat and for us to all be back together again. I cannot express my sincere overwhelming gratitude towards everybody who’s shown their support. Gilly has shown me all your comments! Thanks so much your messages and your continuous support so it’s getting late and I’m just laying here scrolling the library and found this classic. Did we ever determine if this was a tail-wind landing🤔🤔 Jerry

Landed in London. The United Kingdom is one of Canada’s oldest, and most-trusted, partners. In a more uncertain world, we’re working closely together to create greater certainty, security, and prosperity on both sides of the Atlantic.

@TaraBull You need 100% concentration on the German autobahn. Especially looking out for turbulence from trucks, slower vehicles pulling out suddenly and cross winds on exposed sections.

Lots of questions asking why winters in UK:- 1. Spread tire wear 2. Will get % cost of 2nd set back come resale 3. Winters work significantly better than summer tyres below +8°C - plenty of info available online 4. They (or chains) are legal requirement in Alps during winter 1/2
Simon Lane@SimonCarGuy

Winters off. Summers on. Excellent service from @kwikfit St Albans (Hatfield Rd) who took 30 x mins and charged very reasonable £40 inc VAT for swap. Nice friendly team. Car has 25k miles but still has 5mm tread left on all 4 x original summer tyres.
