#Pylons
Grabble is so much FUN!😍
Grab pieces one‑handed into your cup & slap the table. First to slap gets the big pawn. Don't be last! That player gives up a piece. Next, a piece is called out and anyone who doesn’t have it is OUT. Last player standing wins!

Fast, fun and no injuries. It's a keeper!

DB A and B are delivered into Humberside,

But Sofia and DB C go north into Teeside. From there, NG are upgrading the lines down past York to Leeds. Seemed to be getting on well when I last went past 🤞

-Get a bunch of pylons
-stick poles in them that are child height
-Write on the pylons 'this could have been a child's
-drop them in front of vehicles as you cross.

Am I hearing this right? - GB Energy wld build its own set of pylons in competition with National Grid?
This is bonkers - National Grid is a private entity which cld b regulated 2 ensure offshore wind is brought ashore faster.
We don't need more pylons/underground cabling, surely? 🤔
Am I being dumb?

Eh? How? Are they going to build another set of pylons and rewire our streets? Sounds like a politician has decided he must do "something" but it's going to deliver "nothing".

🐦‍⬛ Wandle Meadow this morning: two young Hobbies were still around, flying between pylons (intermittently harassed by Carrion Crows) and calling. One had caught a small bird. There were also at least a dozen Chiffchaffs on site (some singing), a Blackcap, and a Cetti's Warbler (singing) by the river.

I like to go for the lower pylons. Ops can't get a decent tractor lock and the reactor provides some funky lighting. Very cozy.

PFI for pylons.

This was crappy and insufficient for electricity generation, it'll be crappy and insufficient for modernising distribution infrastructure.

'Public control' is not public ownership. This has all been an exercise in weasel-words and plausible deniability.
Andy Burnham to unveil public body to invest in electricity grid
The prime minister will say he wants to reduce energy costs in his first conference speech as Labour leader.

If the government ends up overpaying by a billion for some pylons and substations and in return learns how to fix its planning regime that’s a huge victory.

Think national grid is actually a world class expert in building grids and not responsible for any of the problems. Its US arm is steadily out competing every US grid operator. Almost every actual delay appears to be some version of ‘the council hates pylons’.

This needs to happen if we are going to succeed in switching to renewables and reduce energy costs. The grid is essential.

There were probably objections to the erection of the very first pylons, but they were necessary for progress. It's the same now. Lets get this 21st centuary grid built.
Andy Burnham will take his first major step to putting Britain’s utility companies into public control when, at the Labour conference, he announces a new government-backed body to invest in the electricity grid.

Oh, Patty, I’ve learned never to count my end zone pylons before they’re crossed. Many a time we’ve looked promising only to have the Green and Yellow eat our lunches.

They’re gonna put me on one of the wing pylons of a Xi'an H-6

Oh, I live in my pillow fort in one of the junctions on the upper pylons. I never bothered to ask for quarters of my own. I mean, a whole set of quarters would be a waste for somebody my size, right? And it's got a wonderful view of all the ships coming and going.

Whenever there's dense fog, I have a very strong compulsion to go down by the river and take pictures. I'm not sure that I got very many good pictures, but I had a nice time anyway.
September 28, 2026 at 4:13 PM
I was trying to stretch my blanket between the upper pylons to make a giant pillow fort in space, but Ops keeps ripping it down with tractorbeams, calling my fort a "hazard to navigation for incoming freighters", whatever that means.

Many homes there are on pylons... if you lift them up you get much cheaper insurance.

For the people who don't have lifted homes, I assume they are just paying for fixes. Doesn't seem sustainable but it sure is nice to live on the water.

This is the wrong faction but: you must construct additional pylons
