Such an utterly shameful decision by greedy companies. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... If I was still a meat-eater I could at least have the pleasure of boycotting KFC, Nando's, Burger King and the like. I plead with the chicken-eaters out the to at least ensure you buy from ethical companies.

Being a keen follower of all things athletic and Olympic, imagine my surprise at hearing that British curlers are in the news again

It's the 21st century and now, at long last, finally, battered Brussels sprouts are finally here!!!!

On reflection, I'm not 100% convinced this is *that* Philip Glass. #gutted

I'm sure there's another plot twist or two in the pipeline Or, at least, I hope so. #TheArhcers

erm... what? Talk about "life out of balance". #PhilipGlass

I've lived in Worcester for well over 20 years. Now we have a Reform-led council and... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

1980s. You?

Oh Facebook! How trustworthy you are. A new #Audax event "near me" It's in Dumfries. 250 miles away you halfwit.

Whilst walking Lily earlier I spotted an important safety notice on Worcester racecourse...

What's this??? A tiny little spark of light in the darkness? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... @worcestergreens.bsky.social

It's that time of year, it's.... BIG GARDEN BIRDWATCH time!! @rspb.bsky.social www.rspb.org.uk/whats-happen...

Well two years ago this week I was still in Redditch hospital recovering from my own cancer surgery. 12 months of post-surgery treatment and my treatment is now reduced also. For some reason I'm not featured on the BBC news web site. (thank god for the NHS) www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Have bought the wife the, by now, traditional Cliff Richard Calendar for Christmas. The ageless Sir Cliff - a UK national treasure.

Please, watch this. Sign the letter. I cannot even begin to convey how important this is. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sa7... #UK #England

I got back from walking Lily when The Archers omnibus was on the radio on BBC Radio 4. Just as Phoebe gave birth! You can relive that magical moment again here: www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/t73af...

I like this new two day Test Match format #ashes #Cricket #England #australia

Blame the Tories for this. Imagine how much worse it would be under a Reform government. People doing their own surgery because the NHS has been privatised.

No prizes for guessing what I'm at a recording of. #BBC #RADIO4

My contract is due to end in the new year so I'm job hunting again ☹️ What do I do about my beard? * Get rid? * Dye? (so I don't look as old as Methuselah) * Trim it? (makes me look like Captain Birdseye) * Do bugger all (aka my "rough sleeper" look as my wife so kindly puts it)

It appears honey isn't necessarily honey! "Honey flavoured syrup" A fascinating little insight into honey fraud. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5G5H...

I don't know about you, but I prefer paracetomol. Much easier to swallow.

Every now and then YouTube throws up something amazing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuRH...

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack. Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia. Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

You can always trust the BBC for accuracy. Their local news about Diwali celebrations (www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...) has a link to a free open day at the Worcester Art museum. However, that's in Worcester, Massachusetts!! And they mention the India Society of Worcester. Also in Worcester, Ma.

I took part in this... it was brilliant! #Cycling #DnB www.youtube.com/watch?v=WO94...

George, Amber, Brad. Can you say "Ménage à trois"? I knew you could... #TheArcher #MrRogers

I've just learned that, when doing a search on Google, if you put "-ai" in your search then it stops those bloody awful AI-generated summaries. From now on all my searches will be AI-free. Hurrah!

Hi there, I’ve just signed the petition below calling for the boycotting of Eurovision unless Israel is banned. Will you add your name too and then share it far and wide? 38d.gs/qh_c

I've finally given up trying to teach Lily to drive. #Spaniel

It's been raining. Someone's found the muddiest puddle... Oh... Lily! ❤❤️❤ ❤️

The full might of the sate against a terrorist... Words fail me.

Carbon Capture and Storage is, and always has been, a chimera.

We need your help again. Coul Links is an extraordinary coastal dune habitat, home to rare and remarkable wildlife. But it is now threatened for a second time by plans for an 18-hole golf course that would cause irreparable damage. Your voice could help save it. 👇

Awesome performance, last night, by master songsmith and legendary recording artist Tom Robinson on the first day of SongFest!

Surely I cannot be the only person that sniggered like a schoolboy at the picture in this BBC news article. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Genetically Modified foods have gone too far! 😱

Just read Emily Chappell's ode to Audax (and LEL). On ultra cycling, overdoing it, recovery and the hopefully more sustainable approach of Audax. emilychappell.substack.com/p/on-recovery

I have to give a shoutout to the amazing Indian restaurant in Writtle. I could have been fed for free as a volunteer (tearing down the Control, etc.) but I chose to eat at Pakwaan's. Absolutely brilliant food. As you can probably tell...

Is it too soon to remove my #LEL2025 rider wrist band?

When you assumed you'd be finishing #LEL2025 in December....

I cannot even begin to express my gratitude to all those volunteers and organisers that make LEL possible. You are, quite literally, amazing. #LEL2025

After a most leisurely trundle from Northstowe through Henhan, I've finally arrived at Writtle. It's odd, a party atmosphere but no real sense of achievement. My last LEL, it's a pity the weather gods intervened. #LEL2025

Have to say, the food at Northstowe is brilliant. Have just eaten my body weight in pasta, curry, lentils, rice and more beans! #LEL2025

Have now arrived at Northstowe. The final part of that leg was simply heartbreaking. So many lovely looking pubs and i rode past all of them. -sobs- #LEL2025

Forced rehydration en route to Northstowe #LEL2025

Forced rehydration en route to Northstowe #LEL2025

It seems the event has officially been renamed. #LEL2025

Apparently they've decided to change finishing/closing times for Controls. Can someone confirm that? Weather now virtually perfect. -sigh- #LEL2025
