Commentators being kind to Lindsay there. He’s got form for hauling people down because he’s out of position. #pnefc

Up early to listen to the Ashes on the radio. My wife must think I’m mad. #theashes

That was so so poor. Very little quality on show. #pnefc

Time we banned fireworks except at public displays. It’s all year round now for one thing or another. Dogs having a meltdown. #fireworks #ban

Question for transport nerds. If there is a vehicle parked dangerously at a junction, who should it be reported to? I just went through GMP’s website and it said to ring 999. Surely that can’t be right? #gmp #parking

Much better second half performance. Love Lauren James but her injury was clearly making us play with ten players.

I really hope we win this now. Can’t stand this constant time wasting over every little thing. #lionesses #euro2025

Same problems as the French game. Being outplayed in the middle third and panicked passing as a result. #lionesses #euro2025

I’m not convinced that’s even a foul #lionesses #euro2025

That’s a ridiculous decision #lionesses #euro2025 #vafarce

Despise it not technically being illegal I never think it’s a good look for driving instructors to tell their students to pull over and park over advisory cycle lanes.

Tempted to do a parking inventory around our estate. So many cars parked blocking pavements, dropped kerbs or obstructing junctions.

I know #fitbit and #strava differ in how they calculate calories burned but Fitbit is showing 5.5k calories and Strava 2.5k. That’s a huge discrepancy.

Ride leader for Sunday just told me they're all on e-bikes. I'm not. #windup

First time riding my road bike in about five years and man it felt weird!

Why doesn't HMRC allow you to wait in a queue on the phone like every other organisation in the world? 10 minutes of automated messages and then ... "all our advisors are busy... goodbye"!!

We've been here before... #pnefc

Local facebook groups have disintegrated into house swaps, business directories and parcel location services. Lovingly intersperesed with "Would the person who did X get in touch before I take further action." I mean I'm sure they will, won't they?

When did bicyles become so expensive?! Cheapest road bike I can find is £700 and most are >£1000!

That is brilliant. What a counter! #facup #crystalpalace

Surprisingly Preston are described as “originals” and not “boring” www.givemesport.com/clubs-englis...

I asked my wife if I could spend a bit of money upgrading/repairing my exisiting road bike for a charity ride. She suggested I buy a new one... #cycling

Looking at the retained list that PNE have released it looks like we need 10 additions just to able to compete. If the 1 in 4 or 2 in 5 signings is a success rule applies then we are truly up the swanny #pnefc

Losing the connecting cable for my headphones to attach to my phone is incredibly irritating.

Fans say being on the doorstep of so many PL clubs hampers our ability to attract academy players. But in the past we've been able to pick up younger players from PL academies that have gone on to be good players for us (Ben Pearson for one). #pnefc www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/footba...

Don't take it from me. Take it from the government's own assessment: Everything Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves have said about nature protection blocking house building is big fat shining lie. A lie now being locked into legislation before Parliament. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

To all deliver drivers and @royalmail.bsky.social drivers. Please don’t park in cycle lanes, especially when there are double yellow lines. Thanks

And of course we’re not creating anything… And results are going against us #pnefc

Why can’t I find Bristol city v Preston on Now TV?! #preston #Bristol #nowtv

I know I’m a massive Star Wars nut but …Andor is seriously good #andor #starwars

Being a curious chap I wondered how Reform UK had gained so many councillors... so I went and looked at what they were all about. Interesting homepage with a summary of their approach - the best bit is that "woke ideology has captured our public institutions and schools".

I need to prepare my wife for the inevitable mood swings on Saturday #pnefc

Astonishing growth, and this isn’t even a great piece of infrastructure!

Making sure to eat healthy today - had loads of eggs. Two boiled, one creme.

British Paralympian Sam Ruddock reported missing in Las Vegas

I noticed someone on the @pneonline.bsky.social asking if PNE should bring in Bob Rotella, the sport psychologist that worked with Rory McIllroy. I mean sure, but there's a much cheaper option closer to home... (I'm joking, I'm not sure many sport psychs would take on that particular challenge)!

Congratulations @lfcr.bsky.social on winning the premier league… again! Such a good team to watch.

Losing at home to the bottom club when we still need a win to guarantee staying up. Unbelievable. #pnefc

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... I presume as "the safety of our roads is a key priority" more safe cycling infrastructure will be built, there will be less tolerance for "hardship" claims by motorists well over the points limit and we'll see mandatory re-testing introduced right? Right? #cycling

Counts on the Oxford Road Cycleway in Manchester are up 14% since 2019. Where safe, direct cycling infra gets built, cycling numbers increase. It's as simple as that. (Would be great to see these numbers from a source other than me - hint hint, TfGM.)

📢A new study from @uniofbath.bsky.social shows London's low emissions zones have had major benefits for human health and the economy, with a 10.2% decrease in respiratory issues following LEZ implementation, an **18.5%** reduction in sick leave, and annual public health savings of over £37 million.

Amazing. Council want me to pay more to empty my green bin because of the budget deficit, but at the same time want to continue to build more roads. #joinedupthinking

My wife thinks I should write a book about my switch from printing to psychology. She thinks it's inspirational. I think it's just common sense/hard work.

I love having an ebike. I have a problem with snobbery. Cycling is a glorious thing; at its heart, it's what you make it. It's fun, it's liberating, it can be sociable, it makes places better. It takes us to those places, and back. No-one hears they're cheating for driving, so can we drop the BS?
