@Guru_Cultural What about Fredrick Delius?

[Peter Brooker @getpeterb]

@bagshaw2112 Saw him in A Christmas Carol at Ally Pally last year...excellent production!

@JenKteach My Great Great Grandmother and her daughter lost their lives in a similar disaster 15 years later. The launch of HMS Albion at the Thames Ironworks caused a backwash drowning them when it knocked a viewing platform down.

@IfindWankers Didn't work out too well for the Russians or Chinese (amongst others). The only advantage that Marx is buried in Highgate cemetery is that we know where the *ucke* is!

@SirTomHunter I heard it said that a pilot earns his salary once a month...had a similar experience trying to land in Lanzarote in heavy rain and at night..diverted to Feurtaventura...waited a couple of hours then 2 goes to land in LZ..bricking it!

@ChildOfAlba We don't want him either, mind you we did have Brown who was one of yours I believe ...

@DrHelenFry My father and grandad are probably in that pic! Dad said that after getting a bit drunk in PC they landed up crashing the night in some nearby flat, but it had a leaky roof and he woke up soaked as it rained during the night...

@JamesLucasIT Isaacs Azimov described this transportation system in the Caves of Steel..not so much science fiction, but science fact!

@thomsonchris Does this all mean that I'll have to send my Scottish wife ( and her siblings) back to Scotland. I guess my son can spend 50 % of his time in each country..I do have Scottish ancestors as well-does that give me permission to go to Scotland without being considered a coloniser?

@AngelaRayner I can see that the Law of Unintentional Consequences will be enacted in short order...

@zimtmaedchen @GerrySamuels12 @benonwine I bet you are a barrel of laughs...I was 16 FFS...and now I'm an OAP, and may myself be carried off in a heatwave..but at least I have got something out of it...but worry not winter's coming...oh I forgot that kills people too..

[Peter Brooker @getpeterb]

@Englishremnant Walked passed it on walk from Eyam to Froggat a couple of years ago..I took a bit of time there to think about its significance and the tragedy that befell them...

@salt8184 My Grandfather, who was captured in 1914 and spent the rest of the war in a POW camp (Gottingen), said he preferred the Germans to his fellow French captives!

@PoliticalWales @theSNP @larabirdsnp The point is that she is not. She is swearing allegiance to the Crown in Parliament and its Parliament that is sovereign i.e she is swearing to all us...its telling that someone who puts themselves up for such positions has no idea at all about 1500 years of democratic evolution.

[Peter Brooker @getpeterb]

@mcgregormackenz Sorry, was this the Children's Parliament swearing in I was looking at?

[Peter Brooker @getpeterb]

@StarkeyBoy_ @SamaHoole It can be either veg oil or lard...McDonalds was using lard up until 1990...its just that as an American co it was referred to as shortening as opposed to lard which is more English ..officially it is Beef Tallow.

@ScottishGirl_78 If the Scottish aren't British then neither are the English or Welsh for that matter..
