As a guy previously climbed Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) in a stormtrooper outfit, I though it was only fitting to do this on #MayThe4thBeWithYou Not sure if we did the same distance as I worked mine out in Km, but I think he used Imperial measurements...

@MrJamesMay Just seen your YouTube video with Lucy starting the Airfix kit. Thought this might amuse. As with yourself, not gone to airbrush, so all brush painted. Currently trying to avoid SABLE situation (Stash Aquired Beyond Life Expectancy)

@FiredUpHVNY @MadelnCanada They may not be border patrol; that might be a scouting party. I'm sure you're probably safe from invasion though.
For the minute.

@TheLastLeg #IsItOk to wonder at which point Musk will finally manage to blast off into space with the water necessary to deal with the drought on his own world? #TheManWhoFellToEarth

[Stephen Scaddan @SScaddan]

@TheLastLeg Also, along with Oxford and Cambridge, one of the 3 oldest degree awarding insitution in both England and Wales, and the birthplace of rugby in Wales (one for @adamhillscomedy )

@TheLastLeg #IsItOk that the oldest university in Wales is being closed just two years after marking it's bicentenary? #notok https://t.co/WSNgWwtFfu

[Stephen Scaddan @SScaddan]

@TheLastLeg #IsItOk that there have been protests today at plans to close the oldest University in Wales (and third oldest in England&Wales), which celebrated it's bicentenary just 2 years ago https://t.co/xRDUqkTkjY

@TheLastLeg #ShowOfHans Ian Flatt, who climbed 7 mountains around the UK in a motorised wheelchair to raise money for Leeds Hospitals Charity Rob Burrow Centre MND appeal. He has absolutely pushed himself to the limit, and been inspirational. https://t.co/dmcLLu0OtK

@TheLastLeg #IsItOk that United Healthcare have posted on FB that their CEO has died and 4.5K people have expressed sadness or caring emojis vs 70K posting laughing emoji

[Stephen Scaddan @SScaddan]

@TheLastLeg #IsItOk to ask if you are considering an account with blue sky thinking.... Just asking as everyone on X that I follow seems to be moving over there. I think I prefer blue to orange....

[Stephen Scaddan @SScaddan]

@dewiheald1 Are you considering an account with the other place? Most of the people I have been following on here have moved over!

[Stephen Scaddan @SScaddan]

@LukeMidd1 @thehistoryguy That's why some people have accounts on both sites; you get to see both echo chambers

[Stephen Scaddan @SScaddan]

@thehistoryguy Cool - have just followed you over there.

[Stephen Scaddan @SScaddan]

@goodison2 @JonathanPieNews Or be on both. Following Brexit, when I realised that most of my friends had the same views as me; but that view differed from a large part of the rest of the country, I get wary of being in a 'bubble'.
That said, most of the people I was following on here have left.

[Stephen Scaddan @SScaddan]

@MrMichaelSpicer Thought you could come up with jokes quicker than that...

[Stephen Scaddan @SScaddan]

@jamesjhistory Well this might be the final nail in the coffin for me here; I've not been on X for over a month and have come back to find that everyone worth following is leaving! Had to search this post out to find it!

[Stephen Scaddan @SScaddan]

@MisterABK @GuanoLad So a couple of hundred years short of being middle aged

[Stephen Scaddan @SScaddan]

@AngelaBarnes I can see myself leaving as well. Only on here to follow various historians and comedians, and most of them are leaving.

[Stephen Scaddan @SScaddan]

@josephowen1 @almurray 2 veterans at D-Day museum years back. 1 had submariners badge. Asked him if he had been one. No, he got it from visiting the namesake of his ship. So I asked if he was on Victorious in WWII; He said yes, so I said 'so you were in the Far East then? He really opened up. Sobering

[Stephen Scaddan @SScaddan]

@almurray The Forgotten Army
The Forgotten Fleet
The Forgotten Air Force.
And even now, so many programmes say that VE day was the end of WWII :-/

[Stephen Scaddan @SScaddan]

@chrismccausland Incidentally, now I am thinking about it, if you are ever Pompey way and haven't given archery a try, we'd be happy to give you a lesson!

[Stephen Scaddan @SScaddan]

@chrismccausland I'm not on X much nowadays, but came on to say we've voted for you each week - we've loved all your dances. Also, as an archery coach, the change in your overall posture through learning to dance has been noticeable! (posture chance is something we see in archery
