@dshensmith @X Very niche - very few followers and I haven't uploaded anything in a while.

@thinkdefence I own a "rare" GD FRES UV mug from my time on the project.

Have some SV merch around somewhere as well from the early days of the project.

@Discoplomacy The Design Authority for new artillery ammunition used to have to stand next to the guns during the first live firing.

@JeremyBrookman2 Yes I dug a bit deeper and it's basically civil contingencies and resilience planning - similar to local authorities/Mayors in England have - I assume it devolves down to local authorities in Wales as well via the PW.
Not quite empowered to stick tanks on the lawn just yet ;)

@NealMcgloi81555 @Alexarmstrong @Catnozzle But the law also allows "as part of any national costume" which potentially could include these individuals.....unsure if the law has ever been tested with this exemption.

I hate people who use speaker phones on trains...they also seem to need to shout at the phone.

@Brick_Cop @ukhomeoffice My Grandfather failed it first time on 1949 - managed to get to DCI in the end though - reminds me I need to go get a copy of his records now they should be unsealed.

@centurysteve @iannone_ian 9000 according to google - so this is ~0.3%

@ArronJHamilton @sinead_ryan @Tesco Constant point of annoyance for me.

@DominicFarrell I still remember having to do a calculation to prove that the amount of poisonous chemicals given off when an artillery shell explodes wasn't enough to exceed the COSHH exposure limits!! Managed to demonstrate that the shell exploding would kill people before they were poisoned!!

@CopMoustache No Panda treats? sounds a bit biased... ;)

@whitelotusm4 @Jenny_1884 Are you suggesting the UK is every island within the area? The Irish may wish to have words.

I'm not suggesting anything - I'm pointing out that everyone no matter what age or nationality is liable for tax in the UK - so by your logic everyone should have the vote...?

[Chris Jones @taff224]

@whitelotusm4 @Jenny_1884 The IofM is not in the UK - it is a self governing Crown Dependency.

If everyone - no matter age or nationality - pays tax (which they do) then why not allow everyone of any age and nationality vote?

[Chris Jones @taff224]

@DPB037 @Jenny_1884 Very few 16 year olds will be taxed onn income - unlikely to be above minimum wage and therefore in the tax free bracket.

[Chris Jones @taff224]

@SteveLeyland4 @Jenny_1884 On the Isle of Man...not in the UK.

[Chris Jones @taff224]

@grandadsteve77 @Jenny_1884 But in England must continue in some sort of education or training until 18.

[Chris Jones @taff224]

@DPB037 @Jenny_1884 So everyone no matter age should get a vote? Harry Potter actors were taxed on income at age 11...should they get a vote?

[Chris Jones @taff224]

@whitelotusm4 @Jenny_1884 Fury's daughter got married on IofM (Not in the UK), you can only join armed forces with parents permission under 18 and cannot deploy until 18, you can only work limit hours or as apprentice under 18...everyone pays tax no matter what age.

@neil_roberts1 @ChappellJe13586 @donmcgowan He was likely employed by the NHS as a gas engineer.
