Tommy Robinson sent a letter to himself, he meant to log out and send it from a different account. But he didn't. Don't RT 🤣

I've been chatting with my wife about the @UKLabour "don't panic, but do stockpile" messaging about "building resilience". There's 1 of 3 things going on here. 1. The threat level is no higher than normal, but the government are fearmongering & at some point (probably just before an election) will say "look how safe we kept you all, nothing happened". 2. They hope people do stockpile based on their advice, thus increasing the public spend, artificially stimulating the economy making them look less bad. 3. There is actually a threat.

Had what I thought was a very minor issue with my @OmologatoUK Racing Black this morning. Popped them an email, at 9:09am, expecting a reply Monday they told me the fix , got a reply 10mins later...on a Sunday (just needed a reset on the second hand, so was a non issue). Now that's customer service.

How hard can it be to find a local automotive trimmer. We want the 4 seats in the camper done. "Camper van you say, oh yes we can do that...oh it's not a VW, not interested " Times cant be hard for some businesses, total arrogance.

Daughter has an Alfa Tonale leased via @ALDAutomotiveUK. The car has broken down 6 times in the last 12 months and they could not care less.

Tesla fans, this is actually what vertical take off and landing looks like, invented in Britain by Hawker Siddeley in 1960. Was still in use with the US Marines up until this year.

Imagine believing this is an actual product and not a prop. Look at the subframe..... @elonmusk keeps pushing the bar for how much ridiculous shit he can throw at the wall, testing if it still sticks. And cultist fans of @Tesla just eats it all. #PeakInsanity #Fraud #overhyped

Echte innovatie komt uit Europa. Tesla kan het dan een jaartje later ook eens proberen.

Twizy in having a DCDC converter fault looked at. Has an @Warrantywise EV warranty & DCDC specifically mentioned as "covered" in the policy. Fingers crossed

WTH @autodesk I was talking to an agent on chat about upgrading to include the FEA & Thermal package, when they just randomly ended the chat!

The new Aston Martin Valhalla - which will cost at least $1 million - creates the impression of two shadow penises on the driver and the passenger. Is this design aspect: A) Accidental; B) Intentional?
