Twelve years of using the multi-storey car park at MediaCity have taught me that Manchester United fans are rubbish at parking 🅿️

Each of those boxes against the back wall holds two 50 slide cartridges for Dad’s Leitz projector. There are 75-80 boxes.

Dad was all about the niche. He’s a collection of old cameras he would always to put a roll of film through. I think he’d something pretty new (in the 80s/90s) for these. He took his slides v seriously.
@jameswest I'd say Super 127 https://t.co/f08Wu0XmhE I worked in darkrooms for about 8 years in the 90s and I'm sure I never saw one. I still had to print the odd 110 and Kodak Disc so this is a real niche format! He might have used something like this: https://t.co/jAQv8xaD6k

Hi photo Twitter - help me out. Am digitising several thousand of my Dad’s slides. These square ones are the same size as a standard 35mm slide, but obvs a different format. What are they and what sort of camera shot them? Thanks 📸

If you need cheering up, just look at our handsome neighbour who popped round during the match. He came in, had a brief and disdainful look around, and then quite rightly left. #CatsOfTwitter #ENGvESP 🏴 🐈

Swindon South took a bit of finding on the map. I imagined it further east tbh. With the 4th seat declared and coloured in I’m off to bed so I can make it work in the morning. Should I take my felt tips in with me? #hexitpoll

There’s a lot for broadcast nerds to enjoy on the multi-viewer behind @hzeffman which you can see on the visualised stream of the shared R4 and R5 prog being made by excellent Media Ops colleagues. You can find it on the iPlayer - it makes a great second screen.

The people* asked for a fill-in-able A4 sized printable pdf hex map with list of constituencies for the general election so who am I to argue? https://t.co/NzI1E2vcU3 *election nerds
