@almurray If you can’t Winnie the Pooh it on your own birthday then what’s the point in anything? Happy Birthday Al!

@RedFiveModels @almurray Coincidentally I’m rewatching the series as I saw this… it’s wierdly comforting for me.

[Pete Appleby @MrPetebleets]

@almurray Like a Cybertruck!

[Pete Appleby @MrPetebleets]

@RAF_Luton @almurray Absolute peak.

@almurray @DefinitelyJSON Boring answer: Because it has to have authorisation to make a zero value transaction to your bank to verify the card is still valid. And link it to your ID.

Data Privacy rules mean they have to ask you explicitly to use your bank data to confirm your age. This is a GOOD THING.

@almurray @StevenWilsonHQ It’s become one of my favourite albums of all time since you put me on to it a few years ago. It’s sublime!

[Pete Appleby @MrPetebleets]

@almurray @Airfix I’m sat here looking at the two biplanes Inbought from SMW two years ago. Dating me to build them!

@JulieAMcDowall That reminds me, I must cancel the milk.

[Pete Appleby @MrPetebleets]

@almurray @LordHardThrashe A victim of cancel culture.

@brakeboosted @EamonnBlaney That’s easily the fourth time you have said that.

Perhaps providing more context in your original post would have saved you an awful lot of emotional energy in angrily correcting people of their naturally understandable misinterpretations.

@Rotorfocus The dithering passed that point 15 years ago.

@SOE_Expeditions @SOEhistory What in the world of absolute AI shit is this? No magazines in the Stens in the first picture, the German “Prisoner” in the second one carrying a fucking rifle.

Give your head a wobble.

@almurray My Great Uncle Alan served on her in 45 through the Japanese campaign and past the surrender. Inthink I have an album of his photos from that period somewhere.

@agostinomanetta @Hush_Kit It’s deliciously hideous. I love it.

[Pete Appleby @MrPetebleets]

@fesshole If it’s “benign” it’s still cancer. You’ve had cancer, now you don’t have cancer.

[Pete Appleby @MrPetebleets]

@almurray Big gun go bang.

[Pete Appleby @MrPetebleets]

@JaneGinger50 @NoContextBrits 3 up 2 down?

[Pete Appleby @MrPetebleets]

@almurray @central01000011 And somehow gets credit for the Rosetta Stone translation that was translated after the English got hold of it in the 1820’s

By that logic I had a big hand in Space X and Avocado Toast.

[Pete Appleby @MrPetebleets]

@almurray I too can write a list of things that occurred during my tenure as a whatever the fuck Ineas doing at the time.

By this logic I somehow invented Avocado Toast, C++ and EBay.
