@skip_donahue Good film

@Knightly_Hist @AdamFung15 Ah, I didn't read the part about the pre-attack shooting....

[G @GordonReadman]

@Knightly_Hist @AdamFung15 Excuse my ignorance, but why didn't the cavalry just get impaled?

Not enough pikes?
Weight of horses crashing against pike walls? (Awful to be the first wave of horsemen)
Or were the pikes never as dense as you see in films?

@Billo20Four7 @5054magazine @CountLuca Heard lots of these stories from owners..
I was surprised, as it's BMW owned (?)

@sainsburys
Hello Sainsbury's,
Can you give you store on The Highway in Wapping a deep clean?

The entrance doors are dirty, and the tills have encrusted dirt in them.....

It's not a good look, and hasn't always been like this.

[G @GordonReadman]

@skip_donahue Love this

@LNER
Hello, the WiFi connection in coach H on the 20:42 from Durham to Kings Cross is terrible. Pages not opening etc.

Can you switch it off and on again?

@AmphibDeckape @Will_Tanner_1 Wow. That's incredible.

[G @GordonReadman]

@Will_Tanner_1 This..... This happened.

The Belgians left a nuclear power station in the Congo for the Congolese.

Doesn't have a great ending.

☢️ Congo is home to the first nuclear reactor ever built in Africa, built for them by the Belgians in 1958.

The plant has been closed since 2004, when it closed for a scheduled stop and the Congolese have apparently not been able to get it running since.

This means that South Africa is the only country in Africa with a commercial nuclear power plant, built by the Afrikaner government in 1984.

A 2006 article by the Guardian reported on the state of the reactor two years after the shutdown: armed police assigned to guard it had disappeared, the whole reactor was protected by a simple padlock, but there was a giant hole in the fence one could walk through.

Decades earlier, the director of the plant handed the only key required to get to the heart of the plant to a stranger.

This apparently led to the disappearance of two rods of enriched uranium in the late 1970s. One of the rods was discovered in the possession of the Italian Mafia in 1998 on its way to the Middle East, the other was never found, and the Congo did not disclose this until almost 30 years later.

The large uranium mine in the Congo that provided the uranium for the bombs dropped on Japan has also been subject to intense illegal mining since the 1990s, with reports of "thousands of diggers.. filling thousands of burlap sacks a day with black soil rich in cobalt, copper and radioactive uranium."

The estimated IQ of the subsaharan Africans that inhabit the Congo is 65-70.

@fakehistoryhunt @Still_learner *amazing.
Damn autocorrect

[G @GordonReadman]

@fakehistoryhunt @Still_learner It's smashing how things become facts.
We were taught the dirty water/ale theory in school. Never questioned. Just accepted.

@WRCPAST @LidlGB Top lad. Just cruising around in it to the shops.

That's in northern England? My god, you can almost feel the damp air eating into that high-quality vauxhall steel.

@StevenJosephR @TheCinesthetic Classic. Must have watched it 20 times. Fantastic.

Do watch it if you haven't.....

[G @GordonReadman]

@donny_dont_does @brian_macisaac @TheCinesthetic He used natural lighting in all scenes, I heard.

[G @GordonReadman]

@MoonshinerMonk @TheCinesthetic Genuinely never heard of this. It must have really gone under the radar.
