Basically you sink piles (or similar) into the river from a barge and form what is almost like a bathtub - no water can get in or out. And then pump water out from both the box and the underlying river bed. Box gets dry and people can dig out the river bed - witchcraft!
@IndustrialVid
Finally something on twitter I know about! Dewatering of these kind of excavations is absolutely fascinating (albeit clearly witchcraft)! If anyone is interested I worked on a project similar to this in Ipswich a few years ago - its a brilliant industry ()

It's obviously the right thing to do in expanding the vote, but it's deeply depressing that Reform are polling so highly in this age brakcet
You know what? I don't care that Tony Adams can't dance. He's loving it, the dances are fun and just can't help but make you smile. We have to keep him in!

One thing I will say is that I am almost always very very impressed with Stephen Flynn at

We generally don't just lock people up in this country for being a pain in the arse. If we did then you would have been in prison for decades
You know what guys!? Maybe people don't speculate about why Watford General Hospital is telling people not to go there and we wait for an official statement? And in the meantime we don't dick around and meet friends in the park or whatever eh? Just a thought

Is Philp the Truss govt version of Nadine Dorries? Living in another universe where if the govt do something then it must be right because they did it?
I want Kayode to stay in purely for him trying to explain the modern world each week to Lord sugar in the boardroom. Hell that's got legs as a TV series in itself

Surely a proper patriot would never go abroad anyway? Who needs Florida when there is Felixstowe? Why go to Marbella when you can go to Morecombe? Why visit Rome when you can have a week in Romford instead?
I'm becoming increasingly convinced that everyone who writes for the Guardian is utterly soulless. Willy Wonka was and still is a wonderful film. A brilliant combo of charm, magic and creepy.

Well as you are so organised I imagine you will welcome those few extra minutes of spare time. Maybe treat yourself to a biscuit whilst you get angry about more people having a chance to vote

You joke but I once found a whole dog inside a chocolate bar I got whilst trick or treating! It was a Yorkie...

To be fair to Johnson, he and his government have been just as competent, logical and productive since he announced his resignation as they were in the months leading up to his resignation
Seriously Lee Hurst. If you are going to try and be an edgy anti-woke comedian then at least make your jokes make sense and come close to being funny. Instead you just come across as a dumb bigoted fuck
@PoliticsForAlI
I really don't like the Tory Govt. Far from it. But anyone who suggests this is true or there is any real comparison between the two is utterly utterly, almost terrifyingly, clueless
Oh Jess you wonderful wonderful person. So eloquently and passionately put. If only we had more like you and Ken Clarke in the commons and less Boris Johnson and Jacob Rees Moggs of this world
This is how a true public servant reacts to a man whose only priority is his own ambition playing games with the lives of her constituents.
Jess Phillips, you have truly inspired me today. A very rare thing given today's parliamentary politics.

@mattletiss7
To be fair it is quite interesting. But it doesn't mean its why the weather is so erratic etc. Similarly The Borrowers is an interesting book, but it doesn't explain where my socks keep vanishing to
@fesshole
Nah. You just happen to have a decent local MP. I've gone for help from tories, labour and lib Dem MPs on a number of occasions in the past. Arguably the least helpful was the lib dem and I'm a member of their party. You are just lucky to have someone engaged
@anon_opin
Similarly it should be illegal for companies not to respond to all job applications. I don't care whether you have had 3 or 3000 applications for a role - it takes seconds to send an email saying 'no thanks'. Show some respect
@PolitlcsUK
Does it matter who wins a debate run by a dying and increasingly irrelevant newspaper and seen by noone?
Perhaps a better question is has anyone changed their mind after the debate ?
Martin Allen and Barnet feels like one of those subscription services. You take the free trial, cancel when it expires and sign up again with a slightly different email address

16.27 from Tring to Euston (found at the 16.43 stop at Kings Langley). He looks very law abiding so I assume has a ticket but I'm sure he'd love to get back home!
Will be handed in to the gate staff at Euston

Naturally. If we have to stick asylum seekers in hotels they should at least be in labour areas. God this government is vile. There is no other word for it 🤦

My best friend is a surgeon and i think unfortunately you can probably include the NHS in this. Yes their stresses are bigger than say

so they deserve more leeway but equally the way they are treating their frontline staff at the moment is pretty atrocious

The depressing thing is that he felt able to speak up about it because of his seniority whereas the nursing staff clearly look very uncomfortable but can't speak out
I've long said that central London should be pedestrianised. Imagine Oxford Street, Regents Street etc all completely pedestrianised, with cafes and proper seating for visitors? Sounds bliss
To great uncertainty and controversy, in 2007, Ljubljana closed 12 hectares of its city center to private cars. Just 40% of residents approved.
A decade later, no less than 97% were against reopening to motor traffic: “None of us can really imagine cars ever staging a comeback”.

As a hydrogeologist I can confirm that there are separate underground aquifers for rain from each of the four main points of the compass
Sunak really isn't very good at

is he? All his answers seem to either be digs at Corbyn/the labour administration a decade ago or the usual BS about how good the Tories are. He doesn't have charisma and isn't a good speaker
I feel the itv commentary is being somewhat unfair on

What is little understood is Jordan actually grew up as a little kid watching every Al Ettifaq game. Had posters of all their star players on his walls and dreamed of nothing more than earning a colossal amount of money playing for them in his mid thirties
@anon_opin
The London Olympics were very good. They really were. The London Paralympics though were a different ball game. Brilliantly attended and supported and look at how more mainstream para sports are now? You cannot deny that alone made them great
Maybe I'm delusional but I seem to be the only person who thinks we're actually going to have a decent season this year. In theory i don't remotely think the playoffs are out of reach. Sure it requires players to stay fit, Carlos not to leave, luck etc etc but I'm optimistic

Amazingly some people work shifts so have free time, and some are even allowed a thing called Annual Leave! I know, it's disgraceful isn't it?

So not because he recognises it as incredibly problematic language, but purely because his job is too high profile to let him get away with it
Prediction. We'll flog Grant (even on loan) and the replacement will fall through, O'Brien will either stay at Forest or go to the Blades and we'll be stuck with nothing again

Was Cristiano Ronaldo fortunate to stay on the pitch after raising his hands to Dara O'Shea before he missed his first-half penalty? 👀

Arguably the only thing more depressing than these numbers is that so many people seem to still believe the government are doing a good job!

It's genuinely upsetting. I work (broadly speaking) in the construction industry and our pipeline of work is getting increasingly empty yet people still seem to argue its worth it
