I've bought a thing. It's an Ekco AD65 #valve radio made around 1935. The case is made of bakelite, one of the first plastics. I was inspired by @TubeTimeUS and the CuriousMarc YouTuber. All pre-silicon, so new for me!

It's in need of some TLC but it seems fundamentally sound.

@KiwiEV they're not just ugly, they are obese. that's why the parking is awful too. I saw the new E Lotus in the flesh for a the first tine and is was ugly because it was too big and dominated everything else. it was just out of proportion.

Our NHS is broken and I am determined to fix it - including the front door to the NHS in General Practice.

The relationship I want with GPs isn’t simply contractual, but a genuine partnership.

In just four weeks, we’ve started walking the talk.

My letter to GPs today 👇🏻

@ByrneHobart In the UK having a home computer in the 80's got me a leg up - "Steve you know about computers"
There's still a missing generation that haven't been taught how to use these tools properly though.

My kids have been taught Excel at school.

@roblabonne we had 3, would have gone 4 but ran out of time. best thing ever. I sometimes wonder what no. 4 would have been like, but have 3 wonderful young adults now.

@BristolAirport @colI1ns so there's no longer a total limit? just 100ml per container?

@Protons4B so is your circuit breaker too small? or the wiring it's protecting? that level of power sounds like it's 'normal' so it will trip again.

1/10 Julys in the 1970s versus 5/10 more recently exceeded 35C (bold red).

@natalie_thenerd You know you can get refills, right?

“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.”

“Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” https://t.co/2Ahi7zBKxU

@deedydas You know why I click on videos that I've watched? It's because I want to get back to the description, or the follow up videos. But of course YT wants to play the video again. Every. Single. Time.

Let's hope our new government get better at explaining and defending their decisions.

@EngineerLondon You're an excellent recruiter actually. You do a good job of promoting your career.
