Chris Keene @ck12.uk · 25/09/2026Gatwick has around 16 trains an hour to London, and connects with more major terminals, mostly 12 carriages. Of course Heathrow has Express/Tube and a few Elizabeth line trains, but would say they are broadly similar rather than 'nothing like it' 010

Chris Keene @ck12.uk · 25/09/2026Its accurate recreation of an early 80s nightclub decor was truly impressive. Almost as if it hadn't been touched in 25 years. So much neon. (Was it called chemistry back then?) 100
Chris Keene @ck12.uk · 23/09/2026It came with quite a good manual, I remember my dad showing my loops in basic, and then I just added every command using the same variable going up by one each loop... sound, draw a box, colour 111

Chris Keene @ck12.uk · 09/09/2026I recently had some flat roofs on our home replaced. As this amounted to more than 50% of our roof space, we needed a building notice. This cost a small fortune and the whole process is so confusing, partly as much of it is aimed at much bigger projects. Todays form asked the following 000
Chris Keene @ck12.uk · 06/09/2026Sorry, i didn't ask that very well, the tone of this thread is lots of low 5 year deals are ending now, but point/question was presumably they have ending for some since the day they went up (obviously for those who had taken them out 5 years previously), and continued at a similar rate since 100
Chris Keene @ck12.uk · 06/09/2026Am I right in thinking the rate people are coming off low 5 year deals should be fairly consistent from the moment rates shot up? Unless people saw it coming and re-mortgaged quickly just before? 100
Chris Keene @ck12.uk · 03/09/2026Yes on reflection, it's a close call, but I think I may also prefer them to fascism. Call me fussy. (All good down here) 010
Chris Keene @ck12.uk · 03/09/2026congrats and great time. I randomly remember posting to twitter my runkeeper run the first time I had ever managed 13 miles in a training run and you commenting on it. 100
Chris Keene @ck12.uk · 02/09/2026Working at the University its always a bit embarrassing having to tell a small supplier who you want to work with that they need to fill out a massive form to get paid (eventually) 120
Chris Keene @ck12.uk · 02/09/2026I think at the very least there should be options to share your location, but the other person has to press a button and you get notified when they do. This allows the child to ask why they checked (esp if the parent didn't try to msg/call first), and make adult think twice before doing so 000

Chris Keene @ck12.uk · 17/08/2026Was it Jon Worth who argued that Ashford had a more viable argument? Which really surprised me Ebbsfleet seems to have a massive M25 catchment area of people who want to drive from the suburbs rather than get a train to central London 110

Chris Keene @ck12.uk · 13/08/2026When I see spurious claims (new houses all for those arriving by boats etc), I find it hard to quickly find actual facts (what do they get, how, when) to correct, and I like to feel I stay well informed.

Chris Keene @ck12.uk · 12/08/2026TfL have just published their latest Bus inventory (I know, exciting). For the last five years every single new bus has been electric. No new diesels or hybrids since 2020, no more hydrogen fuel cell since 2021. EV's are now the most common type of London bus! content.tfl.gov.uk/31-march-202... 001
Chris Keene @ck12.uk · 05/08/2026I'm guessing price would be key, and rolled out in such scale that they could be summoned any time and be there quite quickly. I think bespoke design for driverless city journeys could help. (Oh and I have no plans to use an Uber for a trip to Sainsbury's!) 010
Chris Keene @ck12.uk · 05/08/2026On one hand the tech bro "self driving is fully capable" when it clear isn't makes me against them. However the end game (the one I want to see) that I could just summon one when I want to make a trip, reducing the need for many people to own cars at all, and the space it would save 120
