@PiQMarkets Completely understand that, I lived in Christchurch for a few years roving with a rod along the chalk streams on summer evenings is absolute bliss.

Ah, we’ve passed the “no longer building infrastructure” stage of decline and moved on to “no longer repairing failed infrastructure”

@MrJamesMay I make that around 30,000 pints. So it’s a small fraction. Back of the envelope - you’ve drunk around 70 thousand cubic light seconds worth of the Universe.

[James May @MrJamesMay]

Dear Prof. Cox,
If I have drunk, on average, 12 pints of bitter per week since 1980, what percentage of the observable universe’s total mass has passed through my penis?

Glorious to watch the same self-declared political media nodes - who were screaming about fascism when the Tories were in power - now tap dancing to justify a zero scrutiny coup because the guy also wears trainers in his fifties.

We see you.

@triffic_stuff_ God I miss @afneil on the TV holding these buffoons (of all political persuasion) to account!

A whole new level..

Russians complaining that Ukrainian Forces are now outsourcing drone operations to gamers all over the world by connecting hundreds of drones to a virtual server and inviting skilled drone operators to take out battalions, with cash prizes awarded for each.

A very spiteful community note has been added here, pointing out that overall teacher numbers actually fell by 1900. Perhaps Phillipson will moan to the press about that too

Nothing ever changes.

And that is why they keep failing.

Our water treatment works are running at maximum capacity, but the heatwave means water in Kent is being used faster than tanks can refill.
To protect essential supplies (drinking, cooking, hygiene), we're introducing a hosepipe ban. Full details: https://t.co/VmcsAG3Qkh

Dear @EnvAgency.

In February this year, after 4 years of asking you to look after the Aldersbrook, I led a team of volunteers to do your job for you & clean out tonnes of silt & leaves, as well as hundreds of bags of rubbish. Through the effort of community volunteers & donations, & at zero cost to the taxpayer, we turned a forgotten silted up ditch back into a river again.

Last nights intense rain storm showed why our actions are the very definition of “strengthening water resilience”. A huge amount of rain fell in a short time, but the restored section of the Aldersbrook has been able to hold 100’s of thousands of litres more water, stopping this water running into the Roding, & thereby *reducing* local flood risk. The first photograph below is of the Aldersbrook after the rains this morning- a big contrast to the area before we did the work.

Perhaps more importantly, this water, instead of running straight off into the Roding & hence the sea is now being held in the Aldersbrook & gradually released so it can be used by nature. It is feeding marshes, trees & wildlife, topping up groundwater & helping to reduce our flood/drought cycle. If you want to strengthen water resilience, we need thousands more projects like the Aldersbrook around the country.

So the question I ask you, Environment Agency, is why you are threatening me with two years imprisonment, rather than offering to meet & discuss how we can work together to restore the Roding & its tributaries, which could become a blueprint for you cooperating with local river guardians nationwide?
