@London_Cycling@CityWestminster Absolutely brilliant. I have been cycling in westminster sinve the 1960s. But too old for it now. Very appreciative of Councillor Dimoldenburg’s lovely wide pavements. He made an electoral error by not supporting my design for our Village Green.
Trump is slashing billions from cancer research, putting life-saving work at risk. We can step in: bring the fired US cancer scientists to the UK to continue their vital work. I’ve signed a petition asking Keir Starmer to act - will you? https://t.co/B7BrsgTI5k
@OliMarshall85@C20Society When a pilot pulled out of a dive too fast, gravity pulled the blood out of his head into his boots. This resulted in hopefully short-lived moment of unconsciousness called a “white-out”. It looks if the Dorset Estate forgot to don its Pressure Suit when pulling out of PoMo.
@Rob_Fiehn 21C New York would suit the 19C Goncourt Brothers who put ground glass into their windows, remarking, “We let our Servants do our living for us”.
@C20Society@catherinecroft Thanks Geraint for this tragic news. First met when she warned of Owners (a Cambridge Uni History Grad), anti-listing demolition of Harp Heating in Swanley. Found a Google map showing holes smashed Into roofs to ruin the interiors. A veritable Amazon of our tribe. Bike-on dear!
@N_MaximovaUK I worked with the Architect for three years. He was one of Lipton’s Directors when Lipton was in the rather heavily featured building covering much of the southern side of Berkeley Square. I have not yet been able to drag his name from memory. Trying.
@C20Society@guardianglancey@alanpowers99@Cartoonmuseumuk OMG this the scene in 1955 at the Regent St. Poly 1st. Year. The Osbert even has the “Random Rubble” as such walls were flagged. No humour was involved for us Architectural worms. Corbusier was the star. One aspired to the astronomical chart of an “oevre complet”. Sad really!
@IoDThenAndNow @frontofstore My brother in law, Aristodemos, was a mariner on Greek Tramp Steamers (he preferred them to “liners” as they had unpredictable voyages)’ and knew all of these. He told me the stars of the “Sod’s Opera” were often the ship’s Steward.
