Saw this when I visited a fabulous museum in Washington and it seems apt with the rise of Nazis in what I believe is a wonderful nation.#USA

@NormanSufrin @pinstripedline Norm given you’re Ex RN I’m shocked you’re not aware of the high number of CS who are ex Forces. While I was serving in CS as a soldier I’d take CS’ to meet the Army customer and they totally got what they were there to do. Honestly let MOD CS support the forces as they want to.

@BlakeCphoto Think it’s Holme fen on the main London to Edinburgh line just south of Peterborough

Great work Pete Shaw, @LaganAviation and @AECOM on getting this far 👏

[Defence Infrastructure Organisation @mod_dio]

DIO and @RAF_Valley in #Wales held a groundbreaking ceremony with our contractor, @LaganAviation, to mark the beginning of refurbishment of the Aircraft Operating Surface (AOS) and Aeronautical Ground Lighting (AGL) systems on behalf of the @RoyalAirForce.

@WajahatAli Welcome to the club my friend … a warning … the kitten will smell the fact that you were the resistant one and you will become the kittens favourite person

Just the Daily Mail being a bunch of weirdos again. Lee Carsley played international football for the Republic of Ireland - why on earth would he sing the National Anthem?

[Daily Mail @DailyMail]

Lee Carsley should be sacked by the FA today. His refusal to sing the national anthem is a betrayal and he's not fit to be England manager, writes JEFF POWELL https://t.co/laqNjlMxWs

JD Vance standing behind bullet proof glass and protected night and day by some of the best trained armed guards in the world telling American parents that their children being shot and killed is a fact of life they will have to live with.

@JohnHol91732967 @AndyBSG1977 @DriverGeorge32A Johnny - you clearly don’t know any thing about GoA3 or 4 or the wages of train drivers .. bless you …

[Robert Noyes @bob_noyes]

@Meijnbro @PhilBedson @MalcW387 @AndyBSG1977 @DriverGeorge32A Bruno - not the same level of responsibility. You and your colleagues are paid what is judged a fair wage for your skill set and responsibility. If you feel this isn’t fair go and retrain as a train driver. I wouldn’t do either job for all the money in the world

As a man, what’s stopping you from having this body?

[Robert Noyes @bob_noyes]

@UselessControl @gtmac786 @CHG3899 @JohnHol91732967 @AndyBSG1977 @DriverGeorge32A Very true and they have little compression of the costs associated with the installation of infrastructure and the staff to maintain the systems. It’s eye watering.

[Robert Noyes @bob_noyes]

@HutchAutomation Calm down poppet

[Robert Noyes @bob_noyes]

@DriverGeorge32A I’m of the opinion that anyone commenting on other people’s pay pay should start by stating their job title and pay … pretty sure people’s views on journalists and paid gobs on sticks pay may not be positive

[Robert Noyes @bob_noyes]

@shockproofbeats This sketch perfectly demonstrated the absurdity of the reporting at the time .. looking back TDT was just sublime

[Robert Noyes @bob_noyes]

@MalcW387 @AndyBSG1977 @DriverGeorge32A I suspect that you wouldn’t say the same about aircraft pilots pay.

[Robert Noyes @bob_noyes]

@MalcW387 @AndyBSG1977 @DriverGeorge32A Go speak to drivers on the underground trains who were bombed. Go speak to a driver on the underground that are on the routes that pass MH facilities that are ‘man under’ hotspots. Ask them … then look at the historic train crashes where drivers and passengers died.

[Robert Noyes @bob_noyes]

@Meijnbro @PhilBedson @MalcW387 @AndyBSG1977 @DriverGeorge32A Drivers earn every penny they get and I do wonder at people who think otherwise. This shouldn’t be race to the bottom. People shouldn’t try to pull others down.

[Robert Noyes @bob_noyes]

@Meijnbro @PhilBedson @MalcW387 @AndyBSG1977 @DriverGeorge32A Mess, the smell was indescribable and the driver came out of her cabin apologised and told the passengers what she was going to do. Very calm and extremely professional. She then got the incident reported and waited to help passengers on to replacement train.

[Robert Noyes @bob_noyes]

@due_to_die @DriverGeorge32A Look up the cost of automation and you will realise that it’s just too expensive and then you still have a driver at the front because the public complain if there isn’t.

[Robert Noyes @bob_noyes]

@AndyBSG1977 @DriverGeorge32A Sorry Andy but no to all those listed. Train drivers control huge trains at high speed carrying hundreds of people for hours at a time. They regularly are face to face with ‘man under’ situations. Their pay is the result of extended assessments. I’m not a train driver.
