Superb and absolutely damning long read on HS2.

No body of water has ever frozen. All that happens is the top few inches of a body of water might freeze, but that’s not where the heat is.

Swore I wasn’t going be that guy, but I can’t hold back. Spent 2wks in a foreign city. Total public transport including river services - £6. London equivalent journey for journey: £121. That city, 100% reliable. Back in London 48h, Eliz Line buggered Tues, Blackheath junction buggered today.

Nearly two hours 😀

Just had an epic run on #QatarAirways #BallDefender over the Indian Ocean

I was once told by someone who ran a council rubbish collection function, that missed collection notifications on a route when they ran a trial electric truck went up. A decent number of people apparently use the loud noise as a prompt to put their bins out, so the EV actually prompted complaints!

*illegal mopeds*

Strong Enterprise-D vibes off this. Not a compliment 38 years down the line.

Imagine all cars were electric, and then one Volkswagen engineer comes up with another idea …

Whichever councillor in West Oxfordshire compared a solar farm to Aberfan should feel absolutely ashamed of themselves. A completely disgraceful comparison for which they should apologise.

Aye - it’s too easy to walk, cycle, drive, angry. And being the opposite just seems to make people angrier. Weird times.

I no longer cycle in central London - and walking there is bad enough now too. Been rear ended by other cyclists at red lights too many times. Also scraped by a Lime bike rider in Borough High street last month going straight through a red light on a pelican crossing.

i’ll never get over how blatantly and proveably lying is one of the best political strategies of the modern age

Is there a sub-question on time of day?

So in a world where installed capacity doubles every year, producing twice as many as necessary gives you six months inventory. Add in 4-6 weeks shipping and the risk of some helmschump blocking a canal or something and suddenly that level starts to look prudent…

Motherfucking wind farms…

OMG. Botched from the start. And that’s nothing to do with the parties now trying to get it done on a permanent hospital pass. Classic case of common sense getting battered by ideology. Well, you chumps, here we are. And yes - involved early on. Got censured for withering looks in meetings.

Do you have a Hyundai Ioniq (2016-21)? I've got roof bars available to give away (collect from Oxford, UK) - perhaps for a small charity donation. YKS6 Yakima flush bars S6, 100cm x2, with YKK1144 smartfoot fitting kits. message me if interested.

His discovery and exploitation of Boris Becker’s serving “tell” is one of most astounding (to me, anyway) pieces of pro sport talent insight. Amazing competitor.

The Prodigy’s Glastonbury set made it look like most other bands are just dicking around. Gen X rules. Always.

Like all men are only five weeks of parental leave away from becoming a pimp??? What on earth is this?

Wait for it…. #Inverness

Fires, you say? 🤔

‘Large number theory’ - every time you see a large number, ask yourself, “is it?” Less than £100k per school. Basic superficials only on sites of that size. No rebuilds.

That is clearly James Nesbitt

Almost everyone: "Electric cars are too expensive and are all SUVs. We need smaller, cheaper ones."

*BYD launches new compact, high-quality electric car in the UK at £18,000*

BBC: No, not like that.

50% of what? Wattage, Lumens or devices?

With a fire from the fireworks up above,
with a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain, you run for cover in a Temple of Love, shine like thunder, cry like rain
