@LFauexProd The crew proceeded to call us (the families) with false hope that it was adrift running on emergency air.

Just noticed your username - Hamish kept an empty nebuchadnezzar champagne bottle in his flat from a Logica company party that he had expensed, which I remember seeing as a kid.

I went into banking IT in my own career, following his footsteps, but starting after the financial crisis there were never any lavish company parties!

[Livingston @RobLEvans]

@Nebbuchadnezza @lordtankl That would have been at Logica in the Middle East or India? It sounded like an exciting time.

He did well out of the tech boom, then took a few years sabbatical in the early 2000s, which is when he started taking me on adventures.

@StuartMaggs @rcolvile What about PAYE taxed people who are required to submit tax returns (e.g. income over £150k), will they have to pay in advance of their monthly salaries? Surely not?

[Livingston @RobLEvans]

He was my mum’s cousin, so more like an uncle, and a lot like a dad to me growing up after my parents split.

He took me on a lot of cool adventures as a teenager like hiking to Machu Piccu, scuba diving, skiing, or flying together in his small plane.

Some people are just miserable and like to troll online, or envy those better off. He earned his money starting as a software programmer in the 80s, and wasn’t a billionaire (that was fake news - yes at $100k the ticket was expensive for most people, but you could buy 10,000 for a billion dollars).

@Jaumet81 @lordtankl No, in fact we had to pay legal fees to Stockton Rush’s estate.

@OtterMan841 @lordtankl Mum’s 1st cousin

[Livingston @RobLEvans]

He did a lot of cool stuff before the Titan event. Like flying round the world in record time, documented in the film “One More Orbit”

@lordtankl My cousin Hamish Harding died in this accident. He was a great man.

[Livingston @RobLEvans]

@TzatziKiwi @lordtankl I sat down with him the night before he flew to St John, and he was saying there’s a spare space and would I like to come along? I almost did.

@antoguerrera But their modelling says it isn’t happening.

I’m joining the team at @X to lead Product.

I am a huge believer in @SpaceX's mission to extend human consciousness to the stars, so it’s time to make shitposting multiplanetary.

X is the best way to find out what’s happening in the world right now and talk about it. The team has been working tirelessly to make X a better place and product for the people who love it, and many have noticed the recent momentum. My goal is to help accelerate that momentum for our community, new users, and businesses globally by continuing to make this product beautiful and useful.

We are twenty years in, but it truly feels like X’s next chapter will be our greatest. I look forward to your ideas and feedback; I’m sure the replies will be measured and magnanimous.

@free_ai_guides Does this work in the UK?

@banthebbc “We’re going to take more from you, and you won’t be allowed to use the public services you’re funding.”

[Livingston @RobLEvans]

@TrungTPhan I'm fine with the phone not being fire or brute force proof, but the dirt in the mechanism stopping the screen from closing is actually a dealbreaker.

[Livingston @RobLEvans]

Tried using @bot to make a @vinted account to sell stuff around the house... got permanently banned on the first login before I even got to list anything.

@leerob Copy to iPhone clipboard wasn’t working, on a generated token in a webpage. There was a built in copy button on the page, so I could copy to the machine, but then I had no way to paste it.

Saw a burned out car on the streets of London the other day, right outside Canary Wharf.
