Ladies And Gentlemen,
Weโre back! And what a season we have lined up for you. Firstly, thank you all so much for your support. We were hoping for a few hundred downloads when we started, and are now nearly at 23k. Itโs been a privilege to work on this with a great team /1
@NicholasLissack@WestMidRailway Your railcard had expired, making your ticket invalid. But I think (I work on the railway) people who have paid, but not the right amount, get targeted.

@WotBuwcheeks@almurray@eideticeye Or the internet stops working because someone has cut the cables off Ireland, and electricity is only on a few hours a day because someone cut the interconnectors to the North Sea wind farms.
Watched Thirteen Days last night for the first time in probably 15 years. As part of the solution to ending the Cuban missile crisis the United States undertook to never invade Cuba without direct provocation. How many in the Trump administration are aware of this?
@FennellJW Whilst sail had given way to steam, cannon ball to shell, and wood to steel, communication was still mostly by flag. Smoke, both funnel & from own guns, and the greater distances over which ships were dispersed, made command & control difficult.
