@wisteriaheight Hoy aboyt yoy!

To Belfast.

@FlightPolish Happy to sling you over the design for this if you want to use it to raise some cash.

“Thanks awfully old chap!” We’ve had an incredible week of fundraising for the Duxford🇬🇧 To Deblin🇵🇱 Hawker Hurricane Flight, scheduled for August. We are chasing now the final 38% which after Gift-Aid donations is just over £9k left to go. To donate & for more info visit: justgiving.com/campaign/duxfo…

@RedFiveModels And the link to the shop is….?

Coming soon, some fresh (with a ph) new designs! Only available at the official Kitoff shop.

@moodyoe Plenty more, well 6 so far, new designs

@RedFiveModels These look brilliant Simon 👌👌🤩

@AndyAitcheson Look, Andrew. You're obviously not versed in military type things. We have the SAS Rogue Heroes so between them and Ross Kemps Ultimate force we're well covered

Have I read this right? We won’t have a replacement until 2030 (which means more like 2040), but it’s being phased out this year. The MOD and the Army leadership are not fit for purpose. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@MrJamesMay @DeborahMeaden Imperial war museum is better, it has spitfires.

@DeborahMeaden Science museum is better. Has aero engines.

And there we have it…. Turns out Nature and The Natural World is very much part of our heritage.

@almurray Been there. 🤣

Tales of the carpet monster. 90 minutes lost last night looking in despair for a missing windscreen part, all masked and ready to go. Found the following morning on the bottom of my sock.

@PattyG2B3 @Rheumatoidman Love MKs. Get to do some much more random stuff to them.

And now for something completely different!

@JordanEVGuy That'll be fun when there's one in a street and the same bastard from no 36 keeps hogging it before you get home from work. 🤣

This doesn’t look like much, but it changes everything. What you’re looking at is an evpzee lamppost charger. It is the smartest solution to one of the biggest barriers to EV adoption. A standard street lamp, quietly turned into an EV charger. No digging up roads, it is installed in just 30 minutes. No huge infrastructure projects, a full street can be electrified in a matter of hours. Manufactured and assembled in the UK and fully OCPP. Using what’s already there. For millions of people across the UK, especially those without driveways, this is the difference between “I can’t have an EV” and “actually…I can.” It’s easy to overlook innovations like this because they’re not flashy. No 350kW ultra-rapid chargers. No massive charging hubs. Just practical, scalable, everyday infrastructure doing exactly what it needs to do. And that’s the point. The EV transition will be be driven by everyone having the ability to charge when they need to. Simple. Effective.

Ah the racists over on Facebook not getting it into their family Braincell that Freedom of Speech doesn't mean Freedom from consequences. They seem to feel that they should have carte blanche to say vile shit. "It's PC Gone mad" no Linda you're just a horrible, racist cow.

@almurray @LordHardThrashe @WeHaveWaysPod Hope he's bringing a model of a spit along. 🤣

@LordHardThrashe @WeHaveWaysPod see you there m'lord

On a brighter note, got my tickets for We Have Ways Fest 6 in September....only my second time. Can't wait. @WeHaveWaysPod

@penandpaper1989 I want to do this SOOOOO Badly. 😍

I didn't get to take a camera up with the FMV, but what's the emoji for 🤘?

@emaster200 @nettermike Oh yeah I know but JFC it's not hard. It makes it worse by not using the right photo 🤣

@RedFiveModels @nettermike Because they’re engagement farming. Typical twitter slop bullshit

Berlin in 1961 captures a dramatic split-second moment as a young soldier suddenly leaps over a roll of barbed wire dividing East and West Berlin, frozen in midair during his daring escape from the communist East. Just days earlier, the border had been sealed overnight, cutting streets in half and separating families who had lived side by side for generations. The soldier, later identified as Conrad Schumann, had been stationed to guard the barrier when he made the life-changing decision to run toward freedom. As photographers captured the exact moment of his jump, the image quickly became one of the most powerful symbols of the Cold War. It represented not only a personal escape but also the desperation of those trapped behind the growing barriers that would soon become the Berlin Wall.

@AndyAitcheson Because the actual photo is REALLY hard to find. It's not like it's a globally recognised image that you can find within seconds on Google or anything like that.

Why the fuck are people using AI slop for an pretty extensively photographed period of history?

@thegingerpostie @Heccles94 @AdzWhitcombe Not really failed though. More swept under the rug by right wing twats. 👍

@Heccles94 @AdzWhitcombe Poor lefties failed Reform/Farage gotcha’s… Farage buys house❌ Farage said hurtful things 50 yrs ago❌ Farage/Candy knew Epstein❌ Farage & Reform break the law❌ Farage will resign ❌ Farage had offshore acc❌ Farage’s taxes❌ Farage hates women❌ Farage cameo vids❌

Can we get this story about Reform UK treasurer Nick Candy retweeted 10,000 times??

@hall_chri @Hudsonweather @chatswithem

@Hudsonweather It was glorious earlier but the spraying of our skies has been relentless today in Leeds. It is now decidedly chilly and the sun is dimmed @chatswithem

Warmest day of the year so far in our region, Hull on top with 18.9C (66F) closely followed by Sheffield & Holbeach at 18.4C
