  1. @pvonhellermannn I have stuck up for Blair for years, against what I regarded as facile arguments, deliberate misrepresentations, and hyperbolic exaggeration of his mistakes. But he's lost me now, and I'm resolved to fight against his corrupt influence. I hope he loses sleep over this change of heart.

  5. @Sustainable2050 It is a big worry. Only thing to do is to keep reminding people of what's happening, as you do so well. And to support green causes, rewild our gardens, chase the politicians. The message is getting through, keep going!

  9. @thenorfolkcoast Oooooh. Excellent toot. I think I'll re-boost this every day until I think of a better way to rant ... Trains to Europe are fabulous ... So civilised compared to airport mayhem and awfulness. But I have to be careful not to rant about them too much or I will be friendless

  10. Imagine what taxing aviation fuel like every other mode of fossil fuel burning transport could achieve…
    Seriously, given its contribution to boiling the planet vs the proportion of people that use it, aviation basically shouldn’t exist right now. [Awful effect on normal people who’ve been innocently normalised to it and ended up with families spread across continents notwithstanding… but horrid as that is, it is primarily problem of/for the privileged on a global scale]

  11. @hedders Harumph .... I say never use Amazon, whatever their shiny offerings. Bezos is awful, and is ruining the planet. Archery sounds good, though.

    Een nuttige aanvulling, maar aankomst in Hamburg om 6u57? Da’s wel wat vroeg voor mijn recreatieve reizen… Ontbijt in de lounge dan maar? 😉
    Heeft/deelt European Sleeper eigenlijk ergens first class lounges?

  17. Scottish people, in the Fort William area in particular: any recommendations for taxi/tour companies that could take me from Fort William to Glenfinnan (Monument & exhibition + a view on the Viaduct) and back on 10/10/2026? The only (well, that’s what he claims) electric taxi in the area is already booked that day…
    Plenty of non-e options, but instead of emailing—or the horror, calling—them all, I’d rather follow up on some personal recommendations.

  18. @OccasionalDucks My last flight was to Bucharest in 2016 (to a business commitment that should have been in Hamburg or Barcelona, where I would have travelled by train). I switched to Eurostar when the terminus moved from Waterloo to St. Pancras, ie 2008 or so. #flightfree

  19. RE: ecoevo.social/@sarahdalgulls/1

    I’ve been #FlightFree for a number of years using the simple but effective approach of just not buying any aeroplane tickets or getting on board any aeroplanes- if that is something you struggle with for some reason maybe this will help you though - and it is certainly amusing to read :-)

  20. ICYMI
    I recently went on a trip to Budapest, Bucharest, Transylvania, and Vienna, and blogged about it. It covers a lot of my favourite things:
    - (Sleeper) trains
    - Craft beer & specialty coffee
    - (Roman) history, archaeology, and art
    - Hash House Harriers and trail running
    If any of those things interest you too, or you just like pretty pictures, check out martijn.be/tag/TT202510/?order

    ✅ Booked sleeper train Ister Budapest–Bucureşti
    ✅ Booked sleeper train Dacia Express Braşov–Wien

    Looking forward to another great trip!

  22. @Snoro Oh my word. At last! I hope this initiative can be made to work. It will need some good communication skills ... So far, not something this Labour party seems very successful at. Fingers crossed.

  23. Any ideas how to get from the #Berlin area to #Riga, Latvia, without taking a #plane?

    I couldn't find a #train connection, and the busses I found take nearly 24 hours. I'm happy to #SlowTravel, including overnight stopovers, but I do need a proper bed / sleeper train at night.

    I'm considering driving by car, but maybe there is a #PublicTransport connection that I missed?

  24. Sailink, sail crossings from Dover to Boulogne-sur-Mer, £170 return. I think novelty fun trip on a sailboat, rather than an actual practical ferry however

  25. Slept reasonably well, apart from the very early announcements for the restaurant opening 🤬. Sea was calm, but you could feel you were on a boat.

    Still dark as I arrived, but no wait at passports, so quickly onto the metro/train to Schiedam and change for Den Haag.

  30. And now onboard the Stena Hollandica, relaxing in the bar with a 🍷.

    I’ve got a cabin with a forward view on deck 11 just below the bridge, which is a nice bonus, so hopefully they’ll be some light when we arrive so I can enjoy the view.

  35. After some tasty Tonkotsu Ramen, now on the next train, to Harwich International and my onward overnight connection 🚆🚢

    Was waiting for my ferry Sail/Rail printed ticked to be questioned, but the guy barely glanced at it before opening the barrier gate for me.
