Off to Nantwich for an ice cream #folkhorror

What a belter of a day to go out for some pootling with a pillion. #MotoSky

Beautiful day to give the new flat-screen nav a test. Verdict good, but the ear buds are a drama. Alright going into the helmet but a pain taking it off... does anybody do a helmet friendly ear bud? #MotoSky

Thrilled with the success of the pond for encouraging invertebrates. No wonder the tadpole numbers dropped, dragonfly nymphs are scary pond predators!

Every paper that you read Says tomorrow's your lucky day Well, here's your lucky day

Every time I see this I think Douglas Adams did a project with a young and dashing René Artois

I'm telling you Darren, sooner or later you're going to have to put those record players away and do something with your life. Yes mum.

I'm not sure it comes across in the pics, but the metal parts on this Scrambler Rizoma Special Edition are a peachy bronze... chacun à son goût and all that but it looks like it wants a 'Live, Laugh, Love' graphic on one side and 'Prosecco o'clock' on the other. #MotoSky

I will have to go back and check when Radio 4's Today programme is uploaded... but I'm fairly sure I heard (approx 6:53am) the expert reporter talking about the OpenAI/Musk court case describe OpenAI as having massive 'profits' and my double-take nearly broke my neck @edzitron.com

This is excellent fascinating work, and it only reflects badly on me that every time I see the first photograph I think a stereotypical american hippy is passing me the absolute end of a teeny joint.

Interesting being given a courtesy bike latest model of your own bike, curious to see what's alike, and what's not... #MotoSky

Great show from @cud.bsky.social last night at The Rigger. Please bands, play Newcastle-Under-Lyme and Stoke! Also... Amazing how flyer technology has progressed @mooseallain.bsky.social

Vote Fast. Vote Often. #MotoSky

Scratched an itch and bought a supplementary screen to run Android CarPlay on the bike. Impressively easy to fit and get started... #MotoSky

Saving Private Ryan has an incredible opening that distracts from the boring one note story. Bonus take. The Wolf of Wall Street is exactly as interesting as hearing somebody talk about the drugs they took, and they were really out of it. Yawn.

Revisiting Moonraker. It would be a perfect Bond reboot choice. A weird charismatic tycoon runs a country's space project but is he all he seems? Very now. #Bond @smershpod.com

Ad based/Paid subscription services like Spotify deliberately commission Ads that are annoying, with terrible reads from awful VO talent to encourage you to go paid subscription.

Just finished Alms For Oblivion, which is quite the ride. Entertaining, very much 'of its time' as is the frontispiece about the author. Yikes! I'm sure he wrote it himself @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social but it still seems kinda wrong to print it today? Or am I being too sensitive?

Don't tell anyone, rode out to the secret nuclear bunker #MotoSky

Hey @revzilla.bsky.social love, love love your YT bike reviews... But do the rest of the world a solid. When you say how many pounds a bike weighs flash up on screen how many kilos please. Cheers! #MotoSky

Paging @katewagner.wehwalt.net

Bank Holiday progress on the Brutalist 'day bed'/invertebrate hotel.

Hopefully the scale of Artemis will help explain to the speculators that Musk keeps making promises to. It will never happen. Whatever bullshit he's promising will happen in five years, next year. It will never happen. He's pointing over there and picking your pocket. You dumb fuck.

Every time I see this thumbnail on Channel 4's film section I think they've made a feature length Criterion Closet

An absolute treat, and now it becomes a double dose of comedy nostalgia to hear Barry in such good form.

as a culture we have really given "ideas" way too much credit. ideas are a dime a dozen. they happen all the time. the magic is way more in the doing, and the doing's diminished stature is linked to lack of respect for labor and, more recently, skill and expertise.

Building a brutal modernist 'day bed'/invertebrate hotel in the front garden @grindrod.bsky.social a black stained wooden top will echo the house.

Absolutely glorious riding conditions, can't believe it's March, so I took the opportunity for a trip out. Somebody else did too. I may have gone slightly faster #MotoSky

Lovely day for a Keele mooch with Steve Marland and other enthusiasts for modern architecture @themodernist.bsky.social

Wow we really are approaching the Shoe Event Horizon. Realising this the day after Douglas Adams' birthday is bloody typical of me! How long exactly does it take to evolve wings? Asking for a friend. #H2G2

Fascinating. I've long said we need to document the creation of the industry, whilst there are still folk around to pass on first hand knowledge. Glad that there's such a good person doing it as John. Chapeau!

Ian Callum and evolutoautomobili.com managing to pull off one of the most audacious bits in the car universe. Make a restomod that charges rich people fortunes for a 355 that looks like one of those hooky MR2 bodykit 355 'replicas'. Chapeau!

Good title, up there with the all time winner

I'm never fed up Because I'm made up just bought tickets to see @cud.bsky.social‬ just down the road...

Spring. It's coming! Soon it'll be too late to commute in under these delicious skies... #MotoSky

just ordered a replacement element from Dualit who really live by the promise to support your appliance, good value too. It's already had a timer dial a few years ago. I absolutely love them for being this way. Theseus' toaster.

Feeling seen

Just saying, all these tedious tiktoks of tables with rivers of resin in the middle and electric guitars made of tat and litres of resin only appeared when Duttons and Rickmans went from our streets, oh and TVR shuttered. I think 'Big Resin' is behind it all. @carpervert.bsky.social

Nick Ross. Coincidentally, Nick hosted the Crimewatch episode when the headmaster was murdered. True story. The school photo they showed on the telly had me and my mate Ben sat in front of him (murdered headmaster, not Nick Ross). Ben's dad was senior in the Met and was on the case.

In my experience it would be a Backronym

Every time I catch a glimpse of this picture on the Guardian today I think they're rebooting the A-Team

Self-portrait in dog

this post hits right in @sniffpetrol.com's Venn

Setting up the photoshoot for a Euro-trance vinyl limited edition cover art or mandatory first aid training refresh? You decide.

Started on Edge of Darkness. Always heard its quality, just that not sure of my appetite for dark conspiracy and brooding right now? (Maybe TV Burp on YouTube?) Reminds me of the Guinness Tinker, Tailor, fascinating if only for the cars out on British roads in 1985, look, there's a Matra Rancho!

Has any action film used the threat of one of these things? They are absolutely terrifying, yet utterly compelling to watch.

Let's hope these can keep my feet dry winter commuting #MotoSky

Going to revisit the originals, courtesy of my Grandfather's paperbacks. He was a contemporary of Fleming and probably wouldn't be as gobsmacked by some of the stuff. Let's see if it's as weird as I remember... #Bond #Smershpod

you've almost certainly seen this @sniffpetrol.com but just on the off chance...

Well it's gonna be the first and last few hundred yards that are the spiciest this morning... #MotoSky
