Why does Birmingham Airport have no biometric passport machines at immigration in 2025?

Remember when you were a kid colouring in something big, and after a while you got bored of moving the crayon back and forth in one direction, so you changed the angle, and the end result looked a bit...strange?

Back on #threads I was occasionally posting interesting cars from the work car park (one of the joys of working in a car company HQ).
So here's my inaugural #workcarparkcaroftheday ,

Last night's skirt steak & ale stew. Bit too much ale, took a long time to get the bitter alcohol taste out, but the finished result was pretty good.
Plenty of leftovers in the freezer to be made into a pie at the weekend.

Best looking steering wheel out there at the moment?
I think my F-Pace's is right up there, especially at the price point.

Walking through a snowy Central Park NYC a few days before Christmas, and for a second we thought it had started snowing again.
Then realised the "snow" was feathers, and a red tailed hawk (I think) was enjoying a fresh pigeon for lunch in a tree above us.

Great looking machine, more than a thousand horsepower, PHEV.
Configurator is already up, if you want to dream this morning...

First day here. Been on Threads the past while, and off The Other App since the run up to Brexit.

Any recs for good people to follow for cars, rock/punk/indie music, and gaming welcome.
