@PaulaAubrey2 There is still a regular service from Portsmouth to the Isle of Wight by hovercraft. They can go pretty well anywhere where the terrain is reasonably flat - seashore, marshland, estuaries, wide rivers etc.

This is the time of the year when I update the family website with news and photos of the year's happenings, just when everyone is too busy to read it. Anyway, here it is, including a famous tower, 2 elections, music, art, hovercraft and spaaaaaaace! https://t.co/TFKC3TzYH2

@ichoosemag Just been to the old Morrisons in Stirchley and it seems to be very much alive (unlike the customer I accidentally clobbered with a roll of wrapping paper - sorry)

@NicholasTyrone They are not his to give away. They were stolen and rightfully belong to Greece.

@WoodinRivers The word "motorist" evokes an elderly bloke wearing a cloth cap going for a Sunday afternoon spin around the country lanes sometime in the 1950's. Whatever happened to travel rugs?

@Burns0369 Great pics! The snow wasn't at all deep but was still a great sight

@Burns0369 @B14News The temporary lights didn't work half the time. It was also a right pain having so many vans and lorries parked around the area, not to mention the merry throb of pneumatic drills...

[Phil Banting @philbanting]

It looks as though the disruptive construction work on the road and pavement outside the new Lidl in #Stirchley is at last complete, and the pedestrian lights restored to use. But I don't fancy walking across the store entrance once cars and lorries start going in and out

@B14News @Burns0369 My wife got a similarly cautious answer when she asked someone working on the site. Sounds like they’re aiming for early December

@klpbirds @John_Barach @GrammarTable I third it

@MikeGra70249355 @ethanwsj @GrammarTable In compensation, we Brits have to accept the spelling of “sulfur”, though it doesn’t affect the pronunciation

@JennyWLibDem Tip: put your Bluesky handle in your Twitter/X bio. This confirms that the account is genuine and is an aid to automated tools

@lordbonkers Bluesky now unresponsive again, having staggered to its feet for a while earlier this evening
