@BrickEconomy are you having issues with account creation? Been trying to sign up for several weeks, but the email verification never gets sent out. Not in junk, not in inbox. Same goes for FB verification. Any ideas?

Incredibly disappointed children this morning thanks to the @LEGO_Group advent calendar. Box is misprinted, so the doors are printed on the non cut side (which itself is barely cut through). 2 advent calendars with the same issue. Rubbish.

@Lumie_lights what does the h error code on the starter 30 light mean? It appears every time I adjust the clock, but I can’t find any documentation anywhere that explains what the h means.

Hmmm. I just had a bizarre experience, involving a global news organisation and a trillion dollar corporation. (I got caught in the middle, so... owch.)
It’s not the sort of experience the people involved usually talk about in public… so I think I’ll talk about it in public.

Tasted pretty good too!

A bit late posting this, but proof if ever it were needed that love of @GerryAndersonTV can last forever. My mum made us #Thunderbirds cakes as children because we were huge fans. Now I am making cakes for my own children as they are too.

@DERZhr @fesshole It works out about the same. Gas is cheaper but less efficient/longer. They work out at approximately the same cost to boil, but the kettle will switch off once boiled, whereas the gas won't, so you'll probably use more in gas by accident.

I'm sort of in an arms race with FB Marketplace. I find fake/spam postings of luxury beds (of all things!), find the seller and block them. FB sees me looking at beds, and recommends more, which I in turn block. I don't even want a bed, I just don't want spam.

@sscmark I believe Europe is starting it's Nuclear War Games today.

[Hywel Vaughan @hrvaughan]

@SeopaLtd Done. Many thanks.

[Hywel Vaughan @hrvaughan]

Nothing quite like looking at bike insurance quotes and finding a bug in @SeopaLtd's system on a compare site. Guess it will be MCN then!

[Gerry Anderson @GerryAndersonTV]

LEGO Thunderbird 2? Yes please! Surely today is the day to get this @LEGOIdeas project over the line? Less than 900 signatures to go... let's make this happen for #ThunderbirdsDay! Go here: https://t.co/W0ZxJEe6y3

@CJ_PITT @russellwarfield He was permanently banned from the residence after the last incident. Those poor Corgis.

@CareLeaverCov @ADCStweets @wmadcs Listening to Meg from @JohnLewisRetail discuss the Partnership’s ambition to reach out to those with care experience and invest in social mobility. #empathy #universalfamily #❤️

@BLOODHOUND_Edu @Bloodhound_LSR @AussieInvader5R I hadn’t even noticed the @AussieInvader5R - definitely there though! Officially Disney characters now!

[Hywel Vaughan @hrvaughan]

Is it just me, or does the car in the background at 3 seconds in look remarkably like @Bloodhound_LSR? Even has the British flag!

[Disney•Pixar's Cars @pixarcars]

Faster than fast and quicker than quick! Check out this new clip from Disney and Pixar’s #CarsOnTheRoad, a #DisneyPlusDay premiere, streaming September 8 on @DisneyPlus.

[Hywel Vaughan @hrvaughan]

Something for you @BLOODHOUND_Edu

So something I’ve worked on is basically in a Disney Pixar piece. That counts right? Yeah? I’m counting that.

@ToyGalaxyDan I literally just discovered this too. These 4 aren't available in the UK either (that I can find?!)

[Hywel Vaughan @hrvaughan]

@jamoiholland @bensmithuk I guess like any car, YMMV. You're right on the GUI, but that's a generic problem. The Apple CarPlay helps. Nissan 360 cameras are useful, and the boot is as big as our SUV. This may help if range is an issue: https://t.co/MkIN8AkqFE
