@AndyWoodturner A typical random liker of posts and my standard response

The van driver was the same both deliveries not his fault this was put on as before noon not before 10am, And how the heck does a warehouse lose a parcel that size, their own tracking system booked it into the local hub and it disappeared

Tracking says loaded onto van at 8, Im going to look closely at the delivery labels part of me suspects this is actually the original 2nd package

Im waiting for a courier, not the usual suspect, this firm delivered 1of2 parcels Monday before 10am on an any time between 8&6. They lost the second parcel, they were meant to be delivering the resent second part today before 10 email 10:05 track your order due between 8&12!

Now I wonder if net hung from barage balloons would stop drones hitting oil storage facilities tower blocks etc?

@electric_4u A single strand of 5amp tinned fuse wire would have done for each track

@AndyWoodturner First glance I thought he was holding a chainsaw blade, those teeth look a bit large for metal

Just opened a pack of 3 new bandsaw blades. Then packed them back up. To return. They have THE WORST FUCKING WELDING I've ever seen on a saw blade. They'd snap on first use. Went to website...and this is a promo pic. See anything wrong here? Fucking pricks

If it isn't going to bring lots of customers why do you want to open 24 hours then?

@QuirkyRides Ive often wondered why there wasn't a pick up version of a DS or CX.a fork lift attachment for tge tow bar for moving pallets short distances would have been useful Im sure

#Citroën DS #pickup..... allegations of blasphemous iconoclasm will surely follow 😬

@agbdrilling A good chance it's the one now at Duxford

Just a TSR2 being towed by a Scammell Explorer 🇬🇧🙂

@AndyWoodturner Is it purely functional or just decorative? By the sound of it its not actually decorative, & based on if it looks right it probably is it doesn't sound functional, a future I told you so?

Just finished a commission. *Precisely* to customer's design/spec. I will not be signing it. It is not pretty. But it *is* exactly what was requested..."the customer is always right" has never been so wrong...

@clark_aviation My first boss got thrown out of the RAF, post combat aerobatics, or probably actually arranging for someone to photograph him, the picture was used for his obituary.low pass inverted with the fin in the gap between two hangars (think it was a wellington)

It's been a while since I first posted this remarkable image. An RAF Avro Lancaster bomber performing a very low pass on just one engine. This feat was a popular 'party piece' for a few very skilled pilots, together with a very deft flight engineer!

@BenGoldsmith @Feargal_Sharkey I suspect the obsession with pumping flood waters away instead of letting them soak away naturally is why our ground water aquifers are getting depleted

'We're not getting rid of the water fast enough' I cannot emphasise enough how insane it is to spend barrels of public money pumping water out of a *wetland*. We are draining an ecological treasure to protect some of the crappest farmland in England. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

My wife has made a critical error, her son & grandson aren't coming to stay the week before easter. She should've told me on Monday after I'd made the house toddler safe

@RAF_Luton Geostationary orbits & back, wouldn't surprise me if the WiFi bit was actually true, there's drones then there's drones,

Fact of the Day: The B2 Stealth Fighter features No Internal Piloting System and can be flown remotely via WiFi or USB-C cable from up to 80,085km away. It takes 717.5 cans of Stealth Paint to cover a B2 before it becomes invisible Photographed from a Canberra

@AndyWoodturner I didn't realise it deleted the files from my PC when I first set up one drive, took me ages to get them back on my PC hard drive, deleted from one drive & to then disable it, cloud is OK for back up, I don't want to use something beyond my control for primary storage

Go to delete 200+ files from OneDrive... ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO DELETE 200 FILES? Yes. Crack on. Never asked you to upload them, anyway. WE WILL DELETE THESE FILES FROM THE CLOUD AND YOUR PC. DO YOU WIS... Just crack on, you needy twat. Eventually deletes them. Email...

@AndyWoodturner I'm trying to work out how to fit the sole puncture protection to my steel toe capped Crocs I made to annoy the H&S department at work

Also...my steel toe-capped boots are probably too heavy

if it weren't for all the shavings on the workshop floor, this could be a new lathe dance... youtube.com/shorts/70ADJz6…

@clark_aviation Imagine a B52 with 4 pairs of merlin engines 40" square Vs 40" diameter 1 would probably need to be inverted to get the exhaust clearances & you'd have to sync the props or maybe 1 pusher 1 puller side by side

Another AI masterpiece (not!) but I do kinda like the look of it, all the same!😂😂😂

@CarlBovisNature Patience or luck?

If you see this photo of a Stoat in mid-air, please leave a comment. 🥰 Have you ever seen a Stoat? 😊

The new deck has been removed the old supports demolished and the embankment dug away

This bridge is on the HS2 route itvwas put in a few years back & replaced a disused bridge. They are now building a bridge to the north of it the deck of which is at the same level as this one, so presumably this is going to get demolished & tge track go through at this road

@CardingtonSheds Being a cynic, because it was the government one, they would prefer we forgot about it, had it been the R100 Im sure the crash would be a celebrated as the sinking of the Titanic

There is the memorial in Cardington, that is their grave of course but there is next to nothing in Bedford. We have the faces statue in Bedford so why not a monument to the largest British built aircraft ever with it's heroic crew in the town.

This is AI before luddites join in, but attached is an important question.... Should there me a monument in Bedford remembering those that lost their lives in the R101 airship disaster nearly 100 years ago.
