@hedinghambuses is there any particular reason you decided to schedule the buses leaving a Clacton-On-Sea station to leave 4 mins before the train arrives?

How did I miss that my favorite book series from one of the best scifi authors currently writing is now an Apple TV show? @Writer_Wells001 it's such an amazing adaptation!

@topazlabs I've been trying to download Video AI 5 for a couple of days now. I'm not getting anymore than 100kb/s and the download keeps failing. Any ideas why? Your site seems sluggish too.

@greateranglia do better at "dividing & attaching". Am reassuring 6 ppl they /are/ on the 0744 Clacton to 'Liverpool Street' & it's not 'terminating' @ Colchester. My 1st time, I watched it leave Clacton as it wasn't going where I was. No one cares how you classify it internally.

@gaghyogi49 Wow, I'm surprised by the lack of love for the 4ft model, I've always thought it thing of beauty.

The scale of the ship is insane. It's a wonder you see anyone. Just on the exterior, there's ~250 cabins on deck 8-9 & 11-12 plus ~150 exterior rooms in the engineering hull.

I'm so sad to hear the news that @MrKenMitchell has died. He was an amazing person, and an amazing actor. His portrayal of Kol and other Klingons in #StarTrekDiscovery was magnificent, but my favorite by far was the moving performance of "Aurellio" in "There is a tide..."

@Faerynnistired Oh my God, how did you manage to stop yourself from continuing after you'd got it back? That's some monster self-control.

@Westvirginiasu3 @greg_jenner We did that at the end of a long hard, but hugely successful, project.

@DreamRose311 @saintsaucey @JenLRossman Oh poop, I said a maybe spoiler too. Eek.

[Simon Middlemiss (he/him) @SimonMiddlemiss]

@DreamRose311 @saintsaucey @JenLRossman Well, either it's been deleted or it's not obvious, at least to me!

[Simon Middlemiss (he/him) @SimonMiddlemiss]

@DreamRose311 @saintsaucey @JenLRossman It does! So small, yet I felt the creeping realization & horror with Cordelia and/or Wesley (can't remember).

And as I say, I keep thinking of it even after so long. "Did they plan that? Was it a long planted seed or a fortuitous coincidence they took advantage of?" Rent free!

[Simon Middlemiss (he/him) @SimonMiddlemiss]

@saintsaucey @JenLRossman actually on further investigation, it was Wesley... 🫢

@Ezrigen Up until "Surrender", absolutely.

[Simon Middlemiss (he/him) @SimonMiddlemiss]

@Ezrigen I love that movie.

@Ezrigen "Sounds Swedish"

@Ezrigen Well, if they hadn't, Data wouldn't have said "to hell with our orders" which, as we all know, is covered in "The art of war" under the chapter heading of "a cheap laugh".
