  3. @BicycleBen Bangaranga Bangaranga Bangaranga Bangaranga... I still hope Malta win, but I suspect it's off to Bulgaria #eurovision

  4. @BicycleBen They have an arrangement for it to be staged on their behalf somewhere in a European country. #Eurovision

  5. @BicycleBen I hope everyone with any kind of voice, including me, who can at least write a coherent sentence, raises that voice to support Milliband strongly now. This idea seems at last like a pivot we can rally around. In my spare time this week I'll be asking whoever I can think of to get behind Milliband with this.

  7. @BicycleBen I discovered it during the Covid age, and I'm still with it. Now debuting the first season of #JTM aka Junior Taskmaster and it's good.

  8. CW: Louise Haigh resigning as Transport Secretary (UKPol)

    @BicycleBen @RolloTreadway

    It does seem odd!

    The thing in 2013 doesn't even sound bad: "She gave police a list of items she thought were missing from her handbag, but wrongly included her work phone which at the time she thought had been stolen."

    She talks about it here, and it sounds like she also got poor legal advice at the time:

    Hmmm.

  9. @BicycleBen while we're on this, the choice of roads for the #sustrans National Cycle Network also seems pretty anti-cyclist. I'm thinking particularly of the NCN7 west from Dumfries, which chooses hillier, more twisty routes with poor sightlines over flatter, straighter routes with better visibility.

    As routes for effective #ActiveTravel, they're more or less useless.

  10. @BicycleBen neat!! reminds me of the pictures I saw then the #u505 was transported to the museum of science and industry in #chicago. Where is this one going?

  11. @[email protected] Ah, Nothing happened, as we say on #YACF (usually pertaining to fords).

  12. Excuse the FB link, but this is a picture of the Gipsy Lane rebuild for a new housing development in #Nuneaton. If this is shared-use, how is that in any way acceptable from #Bellway Homes and #Warwickshire_CC, locking in substandard "infrastructure" for years?

  14. @ianwalker @BicycleBen
    I am reminded of the song (and game) #DumbWaysToDie:

    🎵 Dumb ways to die
    So many dumb ways to die
    🎶 Dumb ways to die-ie-ie
    So many dumb ways to die

    🎵 Get your toast out with a fork
    Do your own electrical work
    🎶 Teach yourself how to fly
    Eat a two-week-old unrefrigerated pie

    Have you tried getting it out with a fork? 😅 I'm kidding. Don't do that, okay? ☝️🤪

  15. @simon_brooke @BicycleBen The #NCN2 is rubbish in Purbeck in Dorset in that it prioritises sand and dirt paths suitable for mountain bikes over anything suitable for standard bikes

  16. @simon_brooke @BicycleBen Similarly the #NCN23 - it includes a dirt byway, it takes an almost circular route to take in a Roman town, avoiding an actual town with a rail station where people live and might want to cycle, when it gets to Basingstoke it again misses the town centre and station, takes in an industrial estate where you can do battle with lorries and where the council decided that blocking up a dropped kerb was safer than allowing cyclists to access the cycle path.

  18. Well, that was fun. It wouldn't be #Eurovision without the UK scoring way down the table. Apologies to all who didn't mute the hashtag and aren't interested. I'll shut up for a bit now (probably)!

  21. Just saw Project Hail Mary - amaze, amaze, amaze! Did the book justice in my opinion, and a visual spectacle on the big screen. #Film #Cinema #ProjectHailMary

  22. Poor show from #NorfolkPolice here, I think. How is a person standing in the middle of a pedestrian and cycling zone (i.e. motor vehicles prohibited) causing an obstruction to the highway? They cite emergency vehicle access, but a person can move aside in that case.
