@HI_Voices 154 days into Duolingo and a recent convert too to SpeakGaelic - loving learning it, I only wanted to learn how to pronounce Highland hill names.

@SpeakGaelic @AileenCeol Bloody good, I managed to read the second paragraph unassisted! Progress being made (one day I will be able to type this too in Gaelic) Thanks for the help, I'm loving it.

@militaryhistori Loved it, very powerful and so well done. Is it as good as Das Boot? I don't know, but I think it now ties as my favourite (the Germans do war films very well).

@nedboulting Cracking night! Meant to ask (too far away), why is French TdF coverage so parochial and frankly so sh1t (even the ads are worse than ITV4) when TP won AdH they only mentioned him at the very end and kept focussing on no hope frogs! (I was frustrated in France)

33 years ago UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher warned the world of #climatechange

A scientifically trained right wing liberal urged governments of the world to deal with it - collectively

Climate change deniers, fossil fuel lobbyist, neoliberals ignored her so #ClimateCrisis

Enjoy the Battle PT :-)

@atj68 @Belinda34106799 The most dreadful vehicle I have ever driven (I had one as a BT van), truly awful and I would hate to be in accident in one. Nasty, so slow as to be dangerous and the handling was lets say interesting.

How much more carnage will it take before the average person finally understands we're in a life-or-death climate emergency caused by the fossil fuel industry, it's getting worse fast, it's irreversible, and therefore we must ramp down the fossil fuel industry in emergency mode?
