@ap__76 @slowbikeiain @MissBlack01 Now THAT oozes style. It's something UK city planners have zero concept of.

@createstreets @MayorofLondon I don't have an issue with these. Ultimately, they're extremely useful, cut down massively on single use plastic waste and they provide something which the public don't need to pay an extra fee for. Khan is an absolute berk, but this idea is fundamentally good.

@_The_Prophet__ Love this.

[NG 〓〓 @wafermans]

@joncoupland Bought it already?!

[NG 〓〓 @wafermans]

@joncoupland Seen this one?!

[NG 〓〓 @wafermans]

@LiverpoolVista Grade listed and those grim UPVC windows have been approved?!

[NG 〓〓 @wafermans]

@AlbionSalter I'm impressed that it's still there, and looks pretty good!

@Batfox_Pictures Cracking tune and one of my favourite Charlatans albums.

@createstreets @RIBAJ @teapot_lad With!

[NG 〓〓 @wafermans]

@Madcyril2001 @Batfox_Pictures Thoroughly disagree. Love is the Law and Blinded by the Sun were cracking tracks.

@Rockstarscars @Happy_Mondays @Superstar_Cars @nottco @Ivycottagebaker @BlackTopMediaUK I'm sure he sold it a couple of years after, when he was struggling for money. Then it was listed on ebay some time later in absolutely hanging condition. I doubt there's much left.

@exRAF_Al Brilliant little cars. They sold in droves when launched and were such fun to drive. Lots of people rated the Mini - the Metro was also great to throw into the corners and handled like a little go kart. The venerable A series gave it bombproof mechanicals, too.

@tsrunseen Mani on 12 string? Cracking photo. What's the context?

[Give A Shit About Nature @giveashitnature]

Same water. Same tank.

But the one on the right has oysters.

A single oyster can filter up to 50 gallons of water a day.

Oyster reefs in the Chesapeake Bay once filtered the entire Bay, 19 trillion gallons, in under a week.

Today, with less than 1% of the original oyster population remaining, it takes over a year.

We ate them. We dredged their reefs. We dumped nitrogen into their water until the algae blooms choked what was left.

And now we build billion dollar water treatment plants to do what oysters did for free.

The Billion Oyster Project is working to restore oyster reefs in New York Harbor.

Restored reefs in Maryland's Harris Creek can now filter the entire creek in under 10 days and remove nitrogen equivalent to 20,000 bags of fertilizer every year.

Nature had this figured out. We just have to restore the oysters and get out of the way.

@madchester_mdcr Who is their legal guardian, I wonder? Uncle Greg?

[NG 〓〓 @wafermans]

@christiancalgie That's absolutely phenomenal. Wow.

[NG 〓〓 @wafermans]

@OasisArchives @oasis I was there! Excellent gig although you could sense the tension between the brothers. It was one of their very last gigs before the big bust-up.

@comporhys Over £7000 raised now, just a few hours later.

[NG 〓〓 @wafermans]

@mehercle @GlasgowCC Because the supports are tied into the facade to stop it moving?

[NG 〓〓 @wafermans]

@mehercle @GlasgowCC No. The supports are attached to the rear of the facade.
