@Bishop_Beesley @SkyNews Because it’s an emergency supply. Meant for emergencies, not meant to run an entire system.?

The ‘80’s is alive and well at Canary Wharf. What a machine.

@tomhfh @EngineerLondon Spiteful? No. The bare minimum of historically significant features were saved, leaving the IoD sterile and free of character. 2 miles away, a similar zone has resulted in a £billion ghost town of soulless unused offices that no one wants.

@icantgetnosleep @EngineerLondon Since closing in 1984 it’s bankrupted about 5 different developers, who were going to make a theme park, then office complex, a shopping centre, host to an eco-tower, a hotel, a power station (again) and then finally to its current form. It’s a miracle it survived at all.

@EngineerLondon James, please follow for DM.

Where do all my 10mm sockets keep disappearing to?

Which unsolved mystery from the past do you wish could be solved?

[Tappets @dsb_malloy]

@EngineerLondon Leaving aside the “is it good / bad” question aside for a moment, how is the National Grid worth only £630m?

[Tappets @dsb_malloy]

@EngineerLondon Avignon? Fighting chance of some decent weather there too.

@boatscouk Steve Jobs met his undertaker 13 years ago. Pretty sure that’s someone else’s financial black hole by now.

[Tappets @dsb_malloy]

@martins_evo @ManfacilityW Which would be…

Ford? 😉

[Tappets @dsb_malloy]

@richardbrunning The thick of it. Tucker-esque qualities are clearly required in modern politics.

[Tappets @dsb_malloy]

@EngineerLondon That’s pretty a comprehensive list of problems that’s going to take some considered thought and reflection to sort out.

First things first then, get the kettle on… Oh, b0llocks…

@TeslaOwnersUK @Tesla 10% boost in power. And I think that happened a couple of times. 😳

[Tappets @dsb_malloy]

@TeslaOwnersUK @UKPowerNetworks @transportgovuk @ClaireCoutinho @Mark_J_Harper @ThetfordCouncil 2 years ago a bank of v3 chargers were installed here. It seems they’ve been removed without ever being powered up. Engineers are now expanding the site.

Yesterday at Sloane Square, the junction that is to Chelsea what the Kursaal roundabout was to the Southend cruise back in the ‘90’s, only with more expensive cars playing vastly more awful music.

Thought at first this was a shonky MR2 based kit, but no, it’s a Ferrari...

@CommunityFibre Update. The client “reached out” for a 2nd time, and was offered an appt on tuesday, 9 days earlier than the “earliest time” originally offered. Why this want offered in the 1st place isn’t clear. Miraculously, Today it started working again. A full 1.1Gb/s up &down. 🤔

[Tappets @dsb_malloy]

A friend of mine has been with @CommunityFibre for a week. It’s failed and they have been told that the earliest someone can attend is just over 2 weeks from now.

Anyone wanting to know how little your ISP gives a shit about you watch this space as we try to escalate this fault.

[Tappets @dsb_malloy]

@TheDanProsser Later the better. If you’re 6’2” or more I recommend getting a firm grip of the handbrake lever and bending it an inch to the left. Your comfort will increase dramatically. Also, go to @BBRGTi and get the exhaust manifold and a light tune. It’ll absolutely transform it.

[Tappets @dsb_malloy]

@classiccarguru1 Surely 2 is a possibility, just so you can scare a mate witless on the way to the pub? Light Car Company managed it with the Rocket.

Amazon Prime subscription cancelled due to inclusion of #adverts.

Petty? Maybe, but the line has to be drawn somewhere. And for me, the adverts are an intolerable intrusion.
