@amblongusbooks @ShitChester Yeah. Taken from the front of the pub/bunce st area looking towards st Mary’s on the hill. The old garage is now flats/houses.

[brett @brettmarl]

Who remembers the old Tyre garage at top of Castle St on St Mary’s hill in @ShitChester ?

[brett @brettmarl]

@chester_craft Wow. Amazing pics

[brett @brettmarl]

@bradsilverberg @wowstartsnow @IanET you remember that?

[brett @brettmarl]

First time back in @ShitChester for a few years. Holy crap the Thai Baan place on bridge street is outstanding. Best Thai food I’ve had outside of Thailand!

@ShitChester Next thing you know the Seaguls will nick your 99.

@NeilWhitley2 @ShitChester @qphschester Thanks. I went to QPHS in the 80s - glad to hear it’s still doing well. Do they have a good footie team? One of my kids is an aspiring LFC player 😂

@chester_craft @ShitChester @jbaldyuk @JamieLeeHill2 @geoffnelder You PAID for coal? We had to mine our own, every morning before we went to bed.

[brett @brettmarl]

@chester_craft @ShitChester @jbaldyuk @JamieLeeHill2 @geoffnelder We couldn’t afford newspaper. Had to rub two lumps of coal together until they sparked or my hands went raw. That’s if I was lucky.

@jhludwig Yup - fiasco for sure. Tough for a startup to make traction given all the entrenched brand owners. Upside - 10yrs ago I would have said appliance oems think like utilities in 20-30 yr lifecycles so move painfully slow. Now appliances seem built to fail in 5-10 years.

@crankymate reinforcing my decision to never live in Oz.

Everyone should be watching #WelcometoWrexham. It’s like IRL Ted Lasso staring Deadpool.

@alan_downes_ Toboggan!!

[brett @brettmarl]

@alan_downes_ Ski slope!?!? What happened to the rickety old blue cable car?

[brett @brettmarl]

@alan_downes_ Is that lush garden what’s on top? I seem to recall it being just old bombshell holes from the war …

[brett @brettmarl]

Hey #toorcamp peeps. Want a local project to “automate” a legendary working sawmill in #doebay? Arduino, linear encoders, or AI optical reader type project. DM me up if interested and in return for ideas I’ll take you for a spin in bay on an USCG rescue boat this w/e?

[brett @brettmarl]

@alexhopmann Looks very cool.

[brett @brettmarl]

@alan_downes_ Delta in tire wear between a ICE and EV isn’t really called out and “may be negligible”. Maybe banning cheap tires is a better strategy?

@angela002277 @ShitChester Apparently Shipmaster used as look out all the way down watergate street to see boats coming into port.
