2023-10-04: Ryanair Boeing 737-800 (EI-EGD, built 2010) sustained damage to its right wing when it hit the roof of a catering truck whilst taxiing into gate 62 at Stansted Airport(EGSS), UK. The truck driver failed to give way to the 737 operating on flight #FR2861 from Luxemburg and slammed on the brakes when it was too late to avoid a collision. There were no injuries. https://t.co/Jg7tYc6hcf…

Pale Blue Dot is a photo of Earth that was taken by the Voyager 1 space probe in 1990 from a distance of about 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles) as it was leaving our solar system. This is what Carl Sagan said about the photo:

"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor, and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every 'superstar,' every 'supreme leader,' every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there — on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.”

Thought my bin was broken from being knocked over, turns out the end ridge tile has come off the roof & smashed through the bin! @DavidWilsonHome could you tell me which incompetent roofing company it was so I can report them to @HCC_TS #KingswoodPlace #Elsenham

[Ben Clark @Ben_M_Clark]

Coincidentally it’s the exact same incident with the exact same updates that’s happening in Thirsk YO7?!? 🤔

[Ben Clark @Ben_M_Clark]

@seethelight_isp Any REAL updates on what’s going on with the internet in Elsenham CM22? It’s been off nearly 6 hours now! 😡

@EJTaylorSonsLtd Why do you keep blocking people’s driveways without any warning?? Why are you digging up the road a few days after you’ve laid it?? (Isabel Drive, Elsenham)

[Ben Clark @Ben_M_Clark]

After months of disruption, pneumatic drills, jcb’s, diggers, builders outside the house from 8am & having my driveway blocked without any warning whatsoever, your builders E J Taylor are now digging up the newly laid road!! Unbelievable @DavidWilsonHome!! 😡

No 4G, no 3G, not even GPRS?!? What the hell @O2?!? Why don’t you just cut both my hands off!! #FirstWorldProblems

[Ben Clark @Ben_M_Clark]

On the 13:49 #Elsenham to #LondonLiverpoolstreet @AbellioRailBus #StanstedExpress & there is no air-con, no air movement, no opening windows!! Absolutely ridiculous!! Must be 35°c on here.. 🤬

[Ben Clark @Ben_M_Clark]

@Carroll_Mike80 @DavidWilsonHome @GreenfieldsCH I’m really sorry to hear that, looks like I got off lightly by comparison. Major defects on my #snaglist - drooping ceilings (nails used instead of screws) & window frames that have screws protruding through to the outside!! Too many minor defects to mention!

[Ben Clark @Ben_M_Clark]

This is the piss poor state that @DavidWilsonHome hands over new houses. Why did you accept this @GreenfieldsCH ?? #davidwilsonhomes #GreenfieldsCH #newhome #newbuild #Elsenham #bodgitandscarper

[Ben Clark @Ben_M_Clark]

And this is how they leave “green’ areas..

[Ben Clark @Ben_M_Clark]

Also this is the assorted crap I found strewn around the garden..

Hey @Zanussi_UK it’s 2018! Who, in this day & age, plumbs their washing machine into an outside tap & drains it into the sink?!? 🙄
