Your timely reminder that the USA has not won a war since 1945. In fact has it ever won a war fought by just itself?

What to have for tea tonight?

Somewhere over the rainbow…

That the first time I’ve seen a bouncer working the doors at a chip shop.

Last Christmas (2024) I received a Rapha Cycle Club membership. Apart from a cycling cap and living 300 miles away from a Rapha shop there is zero benefit to being a member.

A little bit of light stretching an lunging before dinner.

If the average person could earn £400,000 for four hours work a month, they wouldn't need pension advice. It can't be said enough. This man is a spiv, a fraud, and a Russian asset. What he is NOT is any sort of friend to working people. He is the enemy! 🤮 www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

We’re on the First Class Azuma to That London. We have just been offered a glass of wine at 0924.

Wife: Why are you eating breakfast now? We’re all having breakfast at 1130 when everyone comes round. Me: Bollocks to that!

Merry Christmas to all my friends on here and by special request I’m including that miserable old curmudgeon @riksredguard.bsky.social in my annual message this year. May all your Christmases be white and Trump’s his last.

Was Chris Rea at home when he passed away?

Ahmed al Ahmed, a future Star of Gallantry recipient. Watch this space.

MAGA: Down with snowflakes and hurrah for FREE SPEECH! also MAGA: You can't come to America unless you show us your social media posts and prove that you've never said hurty words about our president...

You know, I’ve tried my hardest to like the Tea and Trails Pidcast but I find it dull as dishwater listening to them talk about the runs they’ve done that week and how their breakfast wasn’t enough,for their ’long run’ whilst waiting for their weekly interview.

Your timely reminder that nothing says ‘skint farmer who can’t afford to pay inheritance tax’ more than working in the fields in a brand new double cuffed shirt and cufflinks…

Is Dick van Dyke still with us?

You timely reminder that the US government is on the side of Putin.

Does anyone know why petrol prices have risen 11p a litre since Saturday? £129.6 to £140.6 .

Up in the hills tomorrow, tackling those flat lumps East of Drumochter…

Apparently the next door neighbour is going to sell her house as we haven’t cut our hedge this year and it’s affecting her mental health.

Jimmy Jams in aisle 2. I repeat, Jimmy jams in aisle 2.

Do you know what the difference between a Garmin smartwatch and a Whoop strap is? Well, I can take my Garmin off, have a shower and eat my breakfast and I don’t get any messages to ‘put your fcuking whoop strap back on your wrist, you bastard’. My Garmin doesn’t ask if I’ve had a wank either.

Our darling daughter, her partner and dog are home whilst their house is being renovated. I have fled to the Study and will not be disturbed. The people who built this house put a 7 x 2.75m room at the end of the house and you can only access via our dressing room. It’s a crackin title bolt hole.

I watched Bounty this afternoon & Larry Olivier pronounced Lieutenant as Lootenant twice. Now I’m watching Skyfall and Bond’s obituary has his rank of Commander in full but then uses the abbreviation form for Companion of the Order of St. Michael and St. George and Royal Navy… Sloppiness all around

We’ve Just had ham, egg and chips for tea with fruit cocktail and evaporated milk for pudding. That my friends is #winning

Does anyone else’s wife/partner/ significant other fake make the bed on laundry day?

Mildly disappointed with how hash browns have swooped in from North America like the grey squirrel over the last few decades, and all but chased fried bread off breakfast menus everywhere.

For sale: 1 pair of SRAM Rival brake pads. £5.00 ono. No time wasters.

@nuddypants.bsky.social hi, do you know if the sign in point for the 3 peaks is still at a cafe in Horton?

This is why small businesses go down the tubes. 0940 on a Monday morning and the ‘great new’ Home Bargains has opened at the fabulous out of town retail park consisting of an Aldi, building merchants. A Costa and HB…,

Morning Bluesky!

@raptorpersuk.bsky.social I counted a total of 15 kites in half a mile today in the Angus hills. Truly magical.

Great views on Ben Chonzie yesterday.…

I’m watching an old ‘This is Your Life’ featuring Douglas Bader. The cruel buggers keep making him stand up to meet the guests…

Every morning when I log onto MyFitnessPal: ‘Hey, you really need to subscribe to Premium, you’ll receive no tangible benefits except not to see this advert on a daily basis’.

I entered an Audax taking place tomorrow however due to the current and forecast weather I’m now not riding it. There’s power cuts, 90mph winds, 30mm of rain today and it is still taking place. I’d like to see their risk assessment…

What a tosser. No VED either.

@dcrainmaker.com This Garmin Trails feature hasn’t really taken off…

My latest Vinted item… check out the description.

all in good fun

£7.90 from the park and ride to Edinburgh Airport, that’s less than a mile. Thieving bastards.

Buongiorno! Just waiting for our traditional alpine sausage and egg bap... Just managed to get the order in before a coach load of Trump Supporters arrived from Edinborrow. #Glenshee #Cairngorms

If I close my eyes and squint this could almost be the Sassolungo Bike Park in the Dolomites. Glenshee, although a great place is no Val Gardena… #Glenshee #Sassolungo

Bugger me, it’s full-on ‘burn the witch’ this morning on LBC

I’ve just heard that Purple Aki has died.

It transpires that Dynafit Disnaefit me.

That was close, don’t use Komoot folks!

No new pictures, where are you mentally?

People on Vinted are mental.
