Extremely happy to be part of the team involved in winning William Hill Sports Book of the Year 2025

In roughy 90 minutes time I’ll be on the sofa as part of the Kendal Mountain Festival.

The EHRC version of Ali G's fit women policy. 🤡

Folded. The party claiming human rights are amongst their core principles giving way on those basic values is disgraceful.Grow a spine, it’s your party, your rules. As for demographic quotas, instead of the pick n’mix goals try seeing people for their worth rather than what box they tick.

I had some tablet as my race food for the Braveheart ride. Proper job it was 😋 Sadly the sugar rush was a brief highlight in an otherwise age appropriate performance.

For Trump’s MAGA Olympics what you will need to express your thoughts and values is an appropriate person on the merchandise. Sporty, tall, preferably blonde and female. Cycling has had its woke moment in Rwanda now the time has come to go back to business.

Before driving home from the Braveheart bike ride & dinner I was bribed by STV with authentic Scottish Empire biscuits. Guaranteed to contain 110% sugar. What’s that saying ? You can take the Glaswegian out of Glasgow but 🤔😂

Overheard in Weymouth whilst going thru’ the town centre to see the beach motocross. Said in an outraged voice . “He’s taken all the money and he’s taken all the weed” 🙉

This used to be on my walk home from school. Through the tunnels , turn left and it was 200m to the chip shop on the corner where the bus fare I didn't use would probably be spent. Shawlands was almost posh. 🙃

When I began transition at the start of the 2000s the NHS wait was 2 yrs for 1st appointment. Already they tried to limit private care options. Many med professionals have been forced to retire/ stop care by NHS gender bosses. The current GIC system is broken & private care effectively outlawed

It takes a special kind of person to go to the African continent and show support for someone who was OK with racist and slavery views. The Rwandian children watching is so ironic. Note the Yahoo article is before Kirk's death, August'25. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Good and I apologise for not fully reading the whole thread. A ban or exclusion without any evidence is direct discrimination. Sports bans have been the easiest sell to the ‘what if’ crowd . They cling to victimcould

You agree with a trans competitive ban ?? Ok tell us on what in competition results that is based. The 100 metres sprint ? 100 m swimming ? Cycling road races at international level ? Any sport will do b/c we’re interested to know who these trans competitors are and how dominant their results are.

Windsor bookshops have had to restock after a rush of orders

she can begin with the Tour de 4 org as I took part in their recreational event. Let her show how my participation in fundraising for cancer care discriminated against the other women there . Also not d the words of her statement saying the mere presence of a trans woman makes her a victim 😱

'new pilot scheme in the SW will be given £125k to help patients on the waiting list by providing more information to patients before appointments & mental health support' SW has @5000 patients, wait up to 8 yrs, according to the DHS so it breaks Streeting's heart to the sum of £25 per patient 🤔

Ooh tablet 😋 guaranteed 110% sugar , that’s serious stuff . None of that poncy Kendal mint cake pretending to be sporty.

Some things are obligatory when in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Most defendants turn up to court and try to look respectful for the occasion. Of course if you are a 'comedian' then choosing to look like a clown is perfect.

Tour de 4 this Sunday

Trauma Teddies going to Ukraine #SlavaUkraini

It’s all about the right tools for the job. 3 speed hub gears, coaster rear brake. I’ve left the mudguards (not that I ride in the rain 😬 ) but the rack and kick stand are removed. The ex-racer ego said they had to go.

I'll be there, September 7th. www.tourde4.com

www.msn.com/en-gb/health... September 7th, 92km around Glasgow for great cause and a great man. One of my heroes. See you there 🚴‍♀️

this article is a masterclass in avoiding blatantly misgendering a trans person while still not recognizing their gender identity "Dr. Upton" is "Dr. Upton" in every sentence about her. i noticed it because my family does it to me.

Not that i'm aware of. You could give the relevant broadcasters some feedback on who you would like to hear. They are always pleased to learn and process such information.

Tadej Pogacar withdraws from riding the Vuelta , update on ProCyclingStats

This thread 🧵 ‘the Wolfman might be shitting in the toilet’ The concerned person’s reason to stop selling comic books 🙈

Racism, homophobia and Islamophobia from the ‘concerned’ nurse who admitted harassment of a Dr who happens to be trans . The media now seem shocked b/c they were ok with the transphobia. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Thank you , I had to dig out the Zoom meeting ring light from the good old Covid days 

www.express.co.uk/news/royal/2... The Donold going on about 'Bad People" arriving in boats has a certain irony to it

Watching the TdF on @tntsports.bsky.social and the Skoda by Hinault advert comes. The Badger talking through his prologue win and this image precedes the final shots of BH crossing the line. Hello 👋 @skoda.bsky.social

Valverde was the prime example of being first on the team bus and then it changed to Mas defending his 6th place on every stage race he was in. Primoz Roglic still has the mental advantage at Red Bull but does he have the legs to back it up ?

Of course I remember José. Really good rider and Hennie Kuiper’s guardian for a lot of races. I’ve heard him commentating on Belgian tv, he’s excellent. One of the best 👍

The TdF says goodbye to Pyrenees, a region where I have some racing insight. I did enquire to be involved because though my life has changed racing over the historical mountains hasn’t. Result ? No interest, no replies back. But never mind Trainspotting is on the tele’ 🥳 . Proper 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 heritage

What this really means is the NHS will arrange a bit of counselling and they've covered their asses. Not exactly reassuring for any patient or employee who has the misfortune to be subjected to anything similar.

15 july 1945, New Mexico first nuclear explosion known as the TRINITY test 15 july 2025, 80 years later Ben Healy wears the Yellow Jersey in the Tour de France. First TRINITY racing graduate to lead a Grand Tour

"During her evidence, Ms Peggie confirmed she had called Dr Upton a man and said she believed the medic was a biological male. She acknowledged that this would be considered harassment under NHS Fife's diversity and equality guidance" Harassment isn't misconduct !!! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The Brussels court has ruled in favor of a 51-year-old transgender woman in her dispute with the UCI, Le Soir reports. The transgender woman was previously banned from women's races but is now allowed to compete again. The judge ruled that the exclusion was unjustified.

When the TdF is having a moment of quietude one has to find enjoyment and cultural stimulation elsewhere

twmp.net/pippa/the_es... A review ...

www.cyclingnews.com/news/im-stro... Jonas gains muscle to improve his TT and Tadej loses weight to improve his climbing. Over the 3 weeks of the TdF25 they'll find out who has got it right because each choice has it's merits / drawbacks and individual response.

Oh there are so many. One of the early examples. " Well my opinion is that you're just a fetishitic transvestite" Quickly followed by " that's a nice skirt where did you get it from ?"

www.cyclingnews.com/features/on-... Tour de France season is upon us. Thankfully it's not all dancing girls and champagne. Specially not when the car's satnav is called Margaret and Lance Armstrong's favourite Irish journalist is telling a story

Transphobe shouts at trans woman... 'there's no such thing as a female brain in a male body' Trans woman replies .. 'I never said there was. Anyway I'm off to play chess. A harmless activity Transphobe ... Male brain, male, brain, male brain. Advantage, Puberty. Single sex Penis, penis, penis. 😡

Un peu. Je peux expliquer comme on peut parler des deux parties de ma vie. Je ne pouvais pas faire des courses de velo comme Philippa, alors ca me gene pas de voir RM. Mettre un * avec mention de PY serait respectueuse dans ces cases. For everything else it’s Philippa 🥳

The simple question for these bigots… What is the 100m record for a trans athlete ? Running or Swimming. Egg & Spoon race or unicycle wearing a blindfold . They can even ask Google though other search engines are available.
