Coming to a bookshop near you in July! I'm very proud of this one - the blurb on the back cover explains why...

Looks interesting, is it based on a particular squadron or a “generic” one?

Well... this is embarrassing. I just discovered my UK passport expired in January. And while I have a US passport I can't use it to travel to the UK for the event I'm supposed to be at in 2 weeks. If I were just a US citizen I would get an ETA, but that's not allowed for someone with a UK passport.
It'll take a month to renew my passport.
So yeah I know it's my dumb mistake, but this isn't rocket science.
I see some sources saying I can travel in the UK with US passport and recently expired UK passport but that doesn't tell me whether I can *leave* again with the expired passport.
This whole thing recently changed on February 25th, and the only help on the subject appears to be a chatbot which acts as a search engine.
Maybe I can find a human being at the SF Consulate @UKin_SF

Scott, once you are in the UK you could visit one of the passport offices in person and get a passport same day - needs booking in advance and costs more.

Interesting example of why long form blogging just doesn't work anymore. My 4000 word blog with deep analysis of previously unknown UK nuclear targeting policy has had 200 views - the tweet thread has had tens of thousands.

Really not sure whether blogging is worth my time!

Much prefer the blog (just don’t read it immediately) to X.
Plus on the verge of giving up on X as it is so difficult to find the diamonds (like your posts) among the rest of the rubbish.

The TSFlow application looks fantastic. However it requires the “Network flow logs” feature which seems to be for Premium and Enterprise plans only.
It would be great if you could add this feature to the Personal Plus plan - I've been looking for a reason to give you money 🙄

Saw it a couple of times. Possibly the funniest thing I have ever seen in the theatre.
