@akuhayum I can affirm that your linguistic perspicacity in your lingua materna is somewhat impoverished.
Yeah, you're a bit dim and need to read a shit ton more.

@OneOutof4 The Primitives have just finished a tour and 3 weeks ago played their hometown gig in Coventry where my mate captured them performing Crash. Brilliant band. Tracy's mum works as a volunteer at the wonderful Coventry Music Museum.

@Isaiah967967 @thelornashow @theenemyband It's a song by a Cov band, about Cov (and the down-to-earth unglamourous nature of the UK), performed in Cov's ground by the band & the fans before the game against Sheff Utd. Apart from the invention of amplification & rock music, what exactly here is 'American'?

@ArchieHicoxGB @fesshole Christ no. Absolutely not.

@MRCOOLSDREAM Mick's Company. An absolute banger. And the A side (My Ever Changing Moods) is rather good too. Quite possibly the best bit of 7" vinyl I own.

@kostekcanu A long time ago we took our lovely 3 yr old to the Nottingham Open. She was as good as gold but eventually got a bit bored & whiney. All eyes on me as I carried her out of the stands. All eyes including those of @GregRusedski1 & @lleytonhewitt. Oops. Sorry lads.

@JulienHoez Well seeing as I (Remainer) worked with EU information for 12 yrs I'd say I was a lot more informed than the typical Leave voter, but yeah stereotyping is an easy trap to fall into. It's probably more about logic versus emotion. If you don't understand it resort to gut feeling.

@eddieizzard Definitely a Spit, probably a Mk IX or later judging by the 4 bladed prop. I'm sure someone will be able to give more detail.

@buitengebieden I really hope that cat is called Zaphod.

A little bit of dystopian flash fiction - https://t.co/pB74Vh1ojO

@WarMonitor3 Pie in the sky wishful thinking. Too many different power bases & ideologies to have such a thing. Turkey, Saudi, Iran - never going to agree to it.

[Nick Rowe ✍💻 @phoenicks_uk]

@ClaireNorth42 Oh yum!

All about Hephaestus this time?

I know, I know, I can see the rocket. Very much looking forward to this.

@milkyonesug My little Cookie! My furry fella. My chase-around-the-garden playmate. My ambush pal.

@ArtCandee Mump kind of works given their approach to vaccination & the disease they are introducing to American government.

If anyone's interested in artworks depicting historic British aviation events I'm selling a large print of the very first flight of the first British aircraft in 1908:

@SoVeryBritish Unless it's a heavy wooden framed mirror and you're barefoot. I almost passed out with the pain & my big toenail went black & fell off the following week.

[Nick Rowe ✍💻 @phoenicks_uk]

@jon_cronshaw Probably "A Fall of Moondust" by Arthur C Clarke. I was still about a year or so away from discovering Douglas Adams.

@enbyinjail You're blummin amazing, you'll be fine, hang on in there 😊
