Will nobody think of the flat earthers at this difficult time? #artemisII

folly /ˈfɒli/ Folly refers to a lack of good sense, foresight, or wisdom, manifesting as a foolish action, idea, or mistake. It signifies stupidity or rashness. In architecture, it is a costly, often nonfunctional decorative building or structure.

Everything he touches….

Dear Americans, there’s a fundamental difference between us that tbh, gives as an advantage: If a Prime Minister goes rouge- Gone. Lose the confidence of their party- Gone. F up the economy- Gone. Over step their office- Gone. Our system isn’t great but it does punish incompetence quickly.

Scotland is ahead of the curve compared to many other countries with respect to energy mix and reduction of fossil fuels to generate electricity however there is more to do. www.gov.scot/publications... Great progress but a mountain to climb on domestic heating of existing housing stock.

I know everyone gives the BBC a hard time, much of it deserved, but I can guarantee parents of Gen Z children will be tuning into cbeebies on iPlayer for this. 😉 #balamory www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/...

“……our great Military is Loading Up and Resting, looking forward, actually, to its next Conquest. AMERICA IS BACK!” The thing with narcissists is, they don’t back down. You can placate them once or twice, but they won’t stop. Narcissism is a Terminator T-1000. The guy is drunk on power & bombs.

It’s covered in lots of dust now, but that’s what’s left of Moonbase Alpha. #space1999

Booked a cruise for summer 2027. It’s expensive, decadent even. But figuring if we make it through the next year it’s worth celebrating in style.

Taco Tuesday should always be followed by release the Epstein Files Wednesday. #taco

Never mind all the Pink Floyd references. It’s time to celebrate our neighbours on the moon with live pictures from Artemis II. Americans won’t have a clue about this but hey, the Clangers are the real deal.

My country hadn’t qualified for the World Cup since 1998. The team 100% deserves its place, worked hard to get there, played with flair, determination and the occasional snatching defeat from the jaws of victory because that’s what Scotland do. We need to boycott the World Cup. Make a stand. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Journo’s in England & Scotland: can you please chase our Government for a statement that any proposed war crimes by a foreign power openly publicised in the last 48 hours on social media will not involve air bases in the British Isle. This is important.

Can’t help but think a lot of this ridiculous crap Trump is coming out with isn’t just to deflect from his Epstein relationship (although biggest factor). It’s also because Denmark/Europe/NATO didn’t massage his ego by giving him Greenland. He’d only want the next DOSE hit straight after anyway.

Tanwall is over. Fawnwall or Redwall? #BikeSky #roadbike

And if you tolerate this Then your children will be next And if you tolerate this Then your children will be next Will be next, will be next Will be next

I know it’s been done for a lot of years now but: Superbikes wearing fake headlight stickers grates & annoys me something silly. They’re carbon clad racing machines, they’ll never be on the road, it’s utterly pointless. #bsb #superbikes

I’m scared to mention the words because algorithms: purry domesticated animals have been replaced on my timeline with hot flat circular bread with a tomato base, cheese and various toppings which originated in Italy. Never asked for it, but receive more than I could ever contemplate eating. 😲

21 sleeps until MotoGP returns, to fill the void slightly, I’m not convinced about 2 things: •Marc Marquez winning the 2026 championship. •Marc Marquez riding in 2027. Both probably unpopular opinions, but hey, every gladiator eventually falls, no matter how good they are. This is normal. #motogp

Scotland needs to be in the European Union. There’s strength in numbers in an uncertain world. I’m past caring about complexities of the Union. 10 years of Brexit angst from our neighbours who have no idea who they want to be. Your empire is gone, you’re a mid player not a world power, enough.

Coffee & Cava. Breakfast of Champions.

Malaga #streetart

There’s no such thing Royal blood, just rich disconnected interbred families protected by centuries of money earned of the backs of the rest of us. “No Kings” shouldn’t just be an American thing, think it would travel well.

Pretty much every outdoor road bike ride this year has had a mishap. Today’s ride it was a broken Boa. Might have to stick to gravel. 🙂

We now go to our replacement programming for #motogp

Positive spin for Viñales | Lorenzo: 2nd fastest KTM in qualifying. #motogp

A past life but a good one. 🙂 #motorcycleracing

Land of the Rising Tea Cake. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 #Tunnock’s

Spring has sprung. Walking around Glasgow this morning was very very pleasant. Would love to stay for a lunchtime beer. But alas, chasing coin instead.

“U.K. Government Scotland” Has to be one of the most desperate rebrands I’ve ever seen. 🤦‍♂️

People criticise Specialized for being sharp at marketing but this from Factor is next level. €25,000 for ½ painted bike & writing Bugatti in big letters… A pig with frilly knickers, is still a pig. Just with frilly knickers. www.bikeradar.com/news/2026-bu...

I’d like to congratulate the developers of Haymarket Square for building the best free wind tunnel in Scotland. 👏💨

Currently going through a grant application process towards an ASHP for heating & hot water, as a side I’m know learning about easy to install PV. Ecoflow Stream Ultra X, names a bit naff but this kit is really interesting: uk.ecoflow.com/products/str...

Fuggit. Monday. Deserves dark chocolate with black coffee.

I believe this is an uncontroversial thought; Scotland’s energy mix is over 90% renewables. Scotland should be removed from the marginal pricing system that see’s our electricity price tied to wholesale gas pricing. The only thing “wholesale” is the robbing being done from our pockets.

Correct terminology?

There’s no salt on the roads. Might try to ride a motorcycle at the weekend. Potholes at this time of do however remain a concern. 🙁

I pay my Corporation Tax. I expect a Limited Company who are supposed to be representing the people are doing the same for the millions they are raking in from ‘investors’.

Operation Epic Fuck Up seems to be going well.

Rode the Elite Velo Six II wheels tonight for the 1st time on my local cycle circuit. Felt fine in the wind, set up with tpu tubes & Corsa Pros. Not sure I’d use them on poor roads but felt nice on smooth asphalt. #bikesky

How much for Brent Crude? Whilst previously sceptical, now thinking an air source heat pump may well be worth the upheaval & cost to replace the old gas boiler, & no longer just on carbon reduction grounds. I feel a grant application coming on..

🦆🌳🐟🔔❤️

Supposed to be in Glasgow on Tuesday morning, I travel via Central Station so doubt that’ll be happening now. Main hope is nobody is hurt or worse. Thoughts with the Dear Green Place. 🦆🌳 🐟🔔

When life decides your to happy and slaps you hard in the face. Pot holes in Scotland are everywhere. Double puncture and fucked rear rim on a 3 grand wheelset. Was riding uphill!

Suprised at this manufacturing faux pas. Garbaruk chainring doesn’t fit on a SRAM dub crank because 1 indent hasn’t been machined out enough. Not a biggie, I can file it but never had any issues with Garbaruk parts before. Like ever. 🤷‍♂️

I can report Deda Gera gravel bars are quite funky close up. Nice kit. Coming to an adventure bike build near me soon.

Think it’s time Sting & Spitting Image remade the video of “Every bomb you make”.

Oooooohhhhyaaaaaafuckinnnbeauty! HWHWHWFG! #cyclocross #Scottishcyclocross #crossiscoming

I’m can recommend not going on a full day 14 hour drinking session when you’re old. Seemed like a good idea at the time. Way too many doubles. I am now a shell of my former self. Might recover, but it’s touch and go.

I wrote a novel in my head tonight in a bar in whilst observing the clientele. Obviously bollox but felt good at the time. Young dude dancing with beard, lady in little black dress, old person just being yourself and feeling the Afro beat, all actually real, I’ll remember you until tomorrow.😘
