@Marc_Allum @MattStephen62 @ChippenhamPlan @Chippenhamtcl Part 1 of that tweet disappeared: Nothing beats The Arch Company, really Network Rail in different trousers, for recursive registrations: https://t.co/nluB6i5j4E

@Marc_Allum @MattStephen62 @ChippenhamPlan @Chippenhamtcl ... They eg borrowed £1bn from themselves, to buy railside property, that they already own. About a hundred interlinked registrations.

@MattStephen62 @Marc_Allum @ChippenhamPlan @Chippenhamtcl Also interesting, is that they bought Emery Gate, last year: https://t.co/OyZfzPVsyx

@MattStephen62 @Marc_Allum @ChippenhamPlan @Chippenhamtcl People normally register similar anonymous-sounding company names, so they can rename them later.

@313trixie @Flemn8r @WorldBollard Don't be so sure: We painted our steel office gatepost, on the corner of a turn into a railway carpark, bright yellow; and drivers still tried to ram it as a pointless shortcut. One lady peeled the side of her SUV away, and didn't notice until we stopped her.

@9th_M0nth @WorldBollard The fuzz are *always* trying to get away with breaking the rules: I think they want to get caught.

[Robin Hodson @uxonym]

@WorldBollard Blocking the road must help enormously with whatever this stealth barrier is trying to achieve, not.

Let's see if the full-fat version glitches with green squares or not...

@Marc_Allum Surprised they didn't put you under, or use an OR.

[Robin Hodson @uxonym]

@RoboNuggie @probonopd @RISCOSDevLtd Yes, and terrifyingly #phpsw say they'll put the video online soon.

@Jazzie654 Sorry, I haven't fonud it.

@WiFiSheep To save anyone else typing it in, the start of this spreading of Raspberry Jam, is at: https://t.co/witmPuHelW

[Robin Hodson @uxonym]

@WiFiSheep Excellent news: The foundation's earlier decision to discourage them in favour of concentrating on supplying businesses using RPi's in their products, seemed contrary to the overall objective of increasing computer literacy. Also early enough to affect @ROSWShow

@LiohMoeller @probonopd @RISCOSDevLtd I would go further, and say no one paradigm suits all needs. I have a repertoire of skills/languages/fudges to draw upon. It would be interesting if more languages could be as tightly integrated as BASIC, !Zap, and RISC OS are.

What’s the terminal velocity of a squirrel? (Dinner conversation, I’ve had a drink admittedly)

@stellarhewes @BadAstronomer @smartereveryday @ProfBrianCox Indeed: They refuse to sit on chairs or use cutlery.

@AneurinDavid @ProfBrianCox But you wouldn't get a sonic boom, nor indeed any sound, with no atmosphere.
