Could this happen to Starmer please?
Sikorsky S76 at 41000ft and 510mph is surely a record!
This is how confusing perspective plays tricks on your mind. First, you wonder if someone got hurt, and then...
Designed literally just up the road from me. Brooklands Museum is well worth a visit. I’ve even used Barnes Wallis’ loo, but maybe that’s TMI?
London UK?
"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.
This is where we are at. Being 100x productive, not eliminating 99% of jobs www.wired.com/story/why-di...
Yes! I had a Nokia in the late 90s that lasted 5 days on one charge
How about a campaign to change the gun laws? There’s a good reason US has more shootings, you know!
No! We need to provide all children with a faith basis and this is a Christian country. Recent nationwide surveys have shown that teens (and twenties) are the age group most seeking Christian faith right now. Because they need it, right? See Times report here www.instagram.com/p/DNZ-z0asF2U/
Red sky at night. Weather forecasting from the Bible. Matthew 16v2
And it obviously meant a lot to you as you reference sunrise/sunset in your profile!
I’m more used to hearing it as “shepherds” rather than “sailors” but you can see it’s not an adage, and your Mom was effectively quoting scripture from the Bible.
“The Pharisees and Sadducees came to Jesus and tested him by asking him to show them a sign from heaven. He replied, “When evening comes, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,’ and in the morning, ‘Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ Matthew 16:1-3
Red skies. Forecasting from the Bible. See Matthew 16v2
I had a microfiche printer for a while. Very useful piece of kit…. At the time….
It sounds like Ford are admitting the range of their cars is such that need charging every night? A PR disaster, surely?
I’m sad that the US has effectively become a “junk bond”, a shadow of its former self There may not be enough time to resurrect it before China (or India?)!becomes the dominant country on the world stage So #47 will indeed leave a legacy, but not what MAGA are expecting #embarassing
Threat and reality are very different things with #47
Does this pack of cards contain anything of concern?
Ha! They might get frozen out if their chosen market!
Bizarre coincidence but > I had a relative who was born and lived most of her life in Coniston > Campbell also raced at Brooklands and I live on the finishing straight of the old track!
The record was broken on Coniston Water, not Ullswater
I go to church, not for “a religion” but because I have a relationship with God and I worship Him with others who also have that relationship To suggest that I go to church to be “massaged” is insulting. Science is a different window looking at the same world I know where I’m going when I die
Now he’s used a distraction technique (putting National Guard into DC) to try and take concentration away from The Files. Don’t back down, keep at it (on this and all worthy topics)
Easy! Cos it’s US citizens who pay the tariffs on higher priced goods purchased in US.
#OTD 1986 Westland Lynx G-LYNX fitted with BERP tip main rotors flew a 15 km course across the Somerset Levels, averaging a world record speed of 400.87 km/h (249.10 mph). youtu.be/26D97MaKXbM
This is neither deep nor profound. It’s the words of someone failing to get the attention he thinks he deserves, and just spouting utter gibberish
Don’t mention ICE !
Posts like this are just part of the way forward. Tell us what you are doing to end the mess the current administration is creating Many fear that USA will drop down the leaderboard and become number 2 or 3 to China or India. That needs action, not just tweets
So is this to stave off future public anti-47 public demonstrations
I guess the plan is to shut off future popular protests and demonstrations. If there aren’t any protests in DC against 47’s leadership, then (in his brain) the country agrees with his policies and he can steam-roller on in his destruction of the US
Assuming the colour scheme matches on the port side, that would make six sevens. Unless there’s another above the cockpit window?
Just spotted my own mistake …. N Inverness S Bangalore E Bangalore W San Francisco
Which means I need to answer… N Inverness S Dubai E Bangalore W San Francisco
Start from the Prime Meridian that runs through Greenwich UK
The people would prefer another party in power. However the choice is difficult - Conservative - rudderless - Reform - repeat of Trump? - LibDem - on the up?
Another problem is that these are all based on the Constitution, and 47 just ignores that “because he’s so important that he can just side line it and do what he wants” Why are the US people not setting up a permanent demonstration in DC that gets bigger and bigger until he caves in? Afraid of ICE?
As a non-US citizen, what’s the process under the Constitution by which a sitting President can be removed from office?
I’m not part of “we the people” as I live outside US. But we’re very surprised that “we the people” aren’t concluding 47’s time in office.
47 has zero grasp of maths. He thinks he can reduce the price of something by over 100%. It’s just fantasy land to him. How he’s still in power beats me. Pride comes before a fall
People are complaining about his grasp of mathematics
He’s intent on everyone remembering him for ever by creating something else with his name on it. Sad.
You under-estimate God’s ability by insisting God conforms to your human view of what He is or isn’t able to do
Red sky, weather forecasting from the Bible. Read Matthew 16v2
Where does the £500M figure come from? Please supply verifiable source. National newspapers don’t count as verifiable sources
Incorrect. God is everywhere, so you don’t need to go to a church building to find Him and become a Christian
“Red sky in the morning” = weather forecasting from the Bible (Matthew 16v2)
Isn’t creation wonderful? Every time I see a ”red sky at night” or “red sky in the morning” it reminds me that this forecasting comes from the Bible (Matthew 16v2)
By blaming the messenger, you validate the message and destroy your own credibility in needing to address the true source of the problem.
I agree hyperlocal is different. However I also see newspapers prioritising profit for shareholders above accuracy of reporting.
Print is not quite dead, but print volumes of, say, daily newspapers are the demonstration that it’s on its way out. Would you prefer multiple news updates per day, or just one? I started a B2B news website for a global industry in 1999 because I could see the writing on the wall way back then
Absolutely no chance! The American people voted him in, so you can keep him! You need politicians who can tighten up the Constitution to stop any future POTUS from running roughshod over them.
Deserve > “to have earned or to be given something because of the way you have behaved or the qualities you have” The way he has behaved? Nope The qualities that he has? Nope Now move along please
Just discovered that hyphenated hashtags work on @bsky.app but not on that other renamed one #who-knew ?
There can’t be any new evidence to justify any sentence reduction - she would have used it in the original case if there was
Just checking. Do you have to be assassinated first to get the right to be considered as the name title of this building? And what level of success do you have to demonstrate first in your political achievements?
In countries where there is gun control (pick any major European country as an example), there is very little gun crime in comparison to US. It’s no coincidence. US needs gun control. The only idiot control needed is in how US votes for political leaders.
If she had this info to reduce her sentence before, why has she waited until now to release/use this information?
70 years ago today, Donald Campbell broke the world water speed record, after six years of trying. A new world record of 202mph was set, smashing the previous mark of 178mph First Of Many depicts Donald Campbell in Bluebird on his way to the record on Ullswater. Prints available in due course
Re-nationalisation isn’t working well so far. How much funds are allocated by Rachel Thieves to boost the system that Labour views as “broken” There’s no way “nationalisation could save £150m” - it will be a massive drain on resources, which will need higher fares and/or taxes to fund
Why are you quoting John 11v35 from the Bible? How is the context of John 11 relevant here?
Short term fix. Any fine on a water company starts with the bonuses of board members
Did you want the five minute argument or the full half hour?
That Lotus isn’t very “vintage”? Somewhat linked… I’m looking forward to August 2026 when we celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the British Grand Prix, as I live on the Finishing Straight of the circuit 👍
Also, Murdoch is a “dog with a bone” on such stories. No way will he climb down
Unilateral “UK only” actions merely drive these people and companies to “relocate for tax reasons” and UK loses tax revenue. So we all lose because the rest of us get taxed more to make up the shortfall
Unless you get every finance minister in the world to agree to work together (which will never happen), there will always be differences to exploit Until that day, (1) expect individuals and companies to work out how to reduce their tax burden (2) we can only campaign for change
Useful reminder Adam, thank you. My wife and I (and other friends) drove humanitarian aid trucks into former Yugoslavia in 1995-6 period, working with a Bosnian based charity. It’s deeply etched in our minds - the early years of marriage, aged 29 and 31, driving rented trucks into a war zone
Does that mean a big payoff for Elon? Surely not!
Oh my!
Does somewhere in the world still use those clackety-clack types of departure boards?
You’ve reminded me of the world’s first banked motor racing circuit, 2.75 miles long, built in concrete in just 9 months from late 1906 and opened in mid 1907. Lap record of 143.44mph set in 1934. Closed 1939 due fuel rationing and not reopened in 1945 for safety reasons Long live Brooklands, UK
It’s also an anagram of ALIBI BILGE TUBFUL
When Starmer said that Rachel-from-Accounts was “going nowhere”, was the double entendre intentional?
I’m soooo close to Wisley (3 miles straight line) and can vouch for “too hot to WFH” today.
Now, let me think…. Um…..
Perhaps the rep is under pressure from a similarly nasty situation, but has to currently put up with it while the third party is still alive? Stay strong.
Honesty is the best policy. There is no benefit in lying or deception
Bell Helicopters will not be happy. Since 1986 this US company has made almost all of its helicopters in Canada. I’m no sure there are plenty of other examples. BMW perhaps?
Unless you can get every finance minister in the world in the same room at the same time to agree a single set of tax laws, there will always be differences to exploit As a parallel, consider why so many of the world’s ships are registered in Liberia, the 160th biggest country in the world by GDP
So is Starmer taking his example from #47?
You’ll be very lucky if it’s paid for in 15 years. The UK made its last payment back to the US for its WW2 loan on 31 December 2006, 61 years after the war ended
Why so much of the world is controlled by the US, with just 4.2% of the world’s population?
It’s Kefalonia, btw. I honeymooned there. Lovely island. Best is Fiskardo at the northern tip - the only village in the island not devastated by the 1953 earthquake
Oh the irony of that particular Kamov Ka32 - destroyed by fire in April 2024 after an arson attack
I have 1.4 Concordes within ten minutes walk of my house. The 40% scale model which used to grace the top of the road tunnel at Heathrow is one of them. The other was a prototype, now painted up in BA colours
Removing any political angle, anyone bowing (grovelling) to #47 is a loser. DT is the architect of US and world destruction and I hope he doesn’t take too many other countries down with him
Is he just sitting there in la-la land with his fingers in his ears?
Does Iran really have a “healthy ministry” or is this just another example of scrappy BBC journalism with no editorial oversight?
Curious Brit - is the idea of “one big bootiful bill” that it’s so big that various things will get lost in the detail and get through without debate? Does Congress have to debate EVERY page on its merits or demerits?
This is so CHEAP In the UK we have Diesel at c$6.97 per US litre and standard petrol/gas at c$6.77. The latter is E10, ie 10% ethanol and has an octane rating of 95
Staggeringly poor discipline. US citizens should be ashamed of the shoddy leadership demonstrated here. This group (certainly not worthy of being called an army) couldn’t organise a booze-up in a brewery!
Dear @microsoft.com Is all of Copilot wonky like the “Download Free” button here? Certainly doesn’t inspire confidence in the product. Thx
