Live in England? Would you like a £50 reduction in your insurance. If England had followed Wales in 2023 with its national 20mph adoption it would have also saved 30,000 casualties over last 2 years and reduced insurance costs by £2bn for drivers bit.ly/4gIBPlJ

Ok I've just about got into my Betahoven TShirt (Bought at Cardiff Coal Exchange, October 1999) and I'm getting the train to Leeds to watch The Beta Band

Seventeen year old me currently totally vindicated in my decision to spend this Friday night getting pissed in Captain Jacks in Woolacombe before going to the Indie night at Mariscos instead of staying in and watching this shite. #totp

I think I have been getting Lisa Moorish, Tina Arena and Alison Limerick confused for years. #totp

Looks like The Guardian have done another article about how you need to spend thousands of pounds on 'essentials' to be able to ride a bike.

Chris Wilder being appointed Sheffield United manager is the new Sheffield Ski Village being set on fire.

@danpopomatic.bsky.social oh no, just went to get tickets for Sunday and it's sold out! On Fatsoma anyway. Firstly - well done! Secondly, don't suppose you know anywhere else I could get a couple from? I have a babysitter now and everything

Hello #Sheffield brewers. I just picked a carrier bag full of hops from my allotment. It will be a mix of variety as I'm not sure which ones actually came up in the end. Perhaps some Chinook and Golding but they're all in together. 1.5kg all together. Anyone who can use them is welcome to them.

Pedal through any Dutch city, and it feels like it’s always been filled with red cycle paths. But the fact is urban cycling infrastructure didn’t exist anywhere until 1975, when a trial project in Tilburg laid the basis of a national standard for legibility, comfort, and status for people on bikes.🧵

Waiting for that tipping point when most sensible people realise that transporting a single 80kg person in 2.5 tonnes of SUV was not the height of technical advancement but peak stupidity for the human race. Tax SUVs out of existence

Just in case you didn't know that some people leave Google reviews for Antarctic glaciers.

Fuck me. I had forgotten the joy of a cold can of Greek, pre-sugar tax, aspartame untroubled*, full calorie Fanta Lemon after a couple of hours in the sun Absolutely magic. *No shade on sweeteners, I eat loads. But sometimes you just need a lemony sugar hit.

Really think this Greek waterpark is willing you to make a personal injury claim against them.

Andrew Davitt, who wrote this and created the music, ended up keyboard tech in the crew of my old job. He couldn't quite believe I'd heard of this record, never mind bought it. He was great to be on the road with. -

I had some of this for breakfast this morning. It it tasted (ahem) A Liddle bit funnnneh, but that's how it goes.

Anyone know if there's a precedent for a road that's a public right of way but that excludes cyclists? It's a private residential area in Sheffield (old Victorian hospital) and the road is festooned with signs. But seems a bit fishy to me? It's woofinden AVE near Whitley woods

We really should celebrate the six weeks when you can get a punnet of cherries or six doughnut peaches for a quid more.

Hail Mary post here - but I just lost a nice little pannier bag somewhere in Cat Lane woods and didn't have time to go back for it (plus its like the Blair Witch project in there - I wouldn't even know where I'd been) it's blue and green, Linus brand and had a can of cherry coke in it. #sheffield

There's something about the way men use LLMs that feel like those men at the strip club who believe that the dancers like them for their personality and wit. They just want a toy that makes them feel good.

Reskeet if this was one of your favourites!

Not quite the full cream colour of Marland brick, but these houses in Totley #sheffield look a little incongruous here - as if they've been transplanted from Barnstaple or Ilfracombe. Anyone know why these are the only cream coloured brick houses for miles? (As far as I know)

The light at the end of the tunnel, is Leeds apparently.

Everything wrong with this country at the moment summed up in one sign. Conspiracy theories, the grey economy, nostalgia, bigotry, performative contrarianism. For context, the bloke running the stall is probably in his mid 60s. He would’ve been around 10 when decimal coins came in in 1971.

People in Sheffield should stop wanging on about The Leadmill, and start trying to set up something as great as The Crescent in York in the city centre.

Yesterday I took a little detour off a planned gravel ride to visit Barbrook One and Barbrook Two - stone circles/ring cairns about 15km out of Sheffield. Magical in the evening sun. Might use 'The Modern Antiquarian ' as a source for route planning more often

I'm going to be honest here, I think AI is going to do so much damage to the usable internet that even after it's inevitably crashes out, it's going to take years to disentangle from every space it's polluted, like digital asbestos it's gonna be time consuming effort and likely expensive venture.

Seen some quite clever Oasis related phishing emails doing the rounds. If there really are any additional tickets to give out to true Oasis fans, they should go to the first 1000 people to turn up at 3 Alveston Place, Leamington Spa with a 7" vinyl copy of 'Wibbling Rivalry' on Fierce Panda

I didn't get to Stonehenge in time for the solstice, but who cares - I got to drive past Colerne Water Tower.

Brilliant! Now do Pop's supermarket in Nether Edge please.

I think I might cycle to Stonehenge across Salisbury plain on solstice night. Will it be fairly obvious if the army are chucking live ammo about?

Happy new HMHB album day to all who celebrate

I snuck on to YT to have a quick look at Stonehenge Solstice footage to help me decide if I should plan a midnight bike ride there. The Algo quickly took me to a bloke wandering around Sheffield city centre complaining about 'Dutch megabins' and cycle lanes. Now I have wasted time getting annoyed

The Guardian is having another one of those weeks where loads of the opinion columns read like they were written by A Level students who won a competition.

Guy next to me on the flight home from Spain plugged into a David Goggins Audiobook and zoned out while his wife takes care of their two young kids on the flight. Keep striving for that better version of yourself mate!

"I've got a brand new content harvester"

Ok Guys, I've found it. The most Sheffield Star comments section comment ever. We can stop looking now.

Experimenting with making folk horror Fuzzy Felt, combining shapes from vintage sets with cutting my own. Only a work in progress & a tentative first attempt but I’m enjoying working out the process & possibilities

Being a good person who cares for the people around you WHILE ALSO taking take of yourself and your family first is actually a really absorbing and challenging life long pursuit! Why are you making life even harder by being a “web based entrepreneur”?

outsourcing every possible element of my life to AI so i can spend all my free time watching AI-generated videos on the latest developments in AI

It would be classy as fuck for Netflix to make Sesame Street free for anyone to stream.

Saw this crew while I was out riding my bike on Blacka Moor on the edge of Sheffield.

The Cycle Sheffield Big Ride with Kidical Mass is this Saturday 17th. A fun event with a serious message: we want safe routes to town, safe routes to schools, safe high streets for all!

Oh, the singer out of Slipknot went to Rome to see the Pope. The singer out of slipknot went to Rome to see the Pope. The singer out of Slipknot went to Rome to see the Pope. And the Pope said to his aide,

The big hole in Labour's strategy is it relies on the idea there is a policy change you can make on immigration that will reassure and win over Reform voters that will not have major consequences for the government's ability to deliver better public services record, without which it loses everyone.

Fucking Bideford.

Flashback 16 years ago to when a populist crank getting elected was a novel and rare event and when Toby Foster handed the newly elected Mayor of Doncaster, Peter Davies, his arse on a silver platter. Followed by everyone else. www.ft.com/content/622c...
