After #RWC25 I was hoping that increased attendance would allow some increase to ticket prices to get more cash into the system that supports top level women’s rugby, but football is absolutely taking the piss with these ticket prices.

Waiting for Trump to name the 8 wars that he stopped is like waiting for the Tories to name the 40 new hospitals that they built.

If entry to the US will be thwarted if I criticise Trump in any way, I’d just like to reiterate that he is the most appalling, self-obsessed human to be in a position of power today. His lack of empathy has led to decisions which have resulted into loss of life around the world now and in the future

Next 5 westbound trains from Farringdon on the #ElizabethLine Paddington Paddington Paddington Reading Paddington Bit of a joke for people in Acton, Hanwell and West Ealing trying to get home.

Are roadworks planned in this country/borough. Two sets of temporary traffic lights 100m apart this week suggests not. Also impact analysis would suggest that if Thanes Water are going to close a massively busy bus stop like Ealing Broadway Station, they should do so for the shortest time possible?

Appointing RFK Jr to this position is about as sane as it would be to appoint Piers Corbyn to head up NICE.

I know Sarries and Quins pre-date Trailfinders Women but I can’t help feel that this is slightly insulting to call their matchup The London Derby when they are either side of us. #PWR

I have a very bad feeling about this...

Oh just a final note on this, but the quiet - and arguably biggest - impact of ULEZ has come because of its continuing, and growing, impact on stuff that ISN'T cars. The shift of last-mile delivery and other trade/company vehicles to greener tech has been huge, along with the same for TfL's buses.

If you fancy living next to a very secretive neighbour who would rather never talk to anyone, then the house next to the North Korean embassy is up for sale. www.ianvisits.co.uk/articles/eal...

Liquid Glass on the iPhone has no positives and many negatives. I can't understand why it got past the ideation stage. Feels like change for change's sake, even though it harms usability. I guess I'm stuck on macos Sequoia as I dread the idea of it introducing "a stunning new design" to my macbook.

How is EV company $BINI (née $MULN) still alive? It has had so many reverse splits since its IPO in 2021, that for your shareholding to be worth the sum of $1 today, you would have to have invested $7,093,526,785,714,286,336 in 2021. Who keeps investing in it knowing that it destroys wealth?

In a new, nationally representative poll, when asked, "If a general election was called tomorrow, how would you vote?", the same proportion of people said they'd vote @greenparty.org.uk as those who said they'd vote Labour. We Greens are neck and neck with Labour. Join us. join.greenparty.org.uk

Just over a week to the kickoff of the #PWR season. First home match at Vallis Way for Trailfinders Women vs Exeter Chiefs on October 25th at 3pm. Exeter finished two places about Trailfinders last season, but with so many exciting changes to the team this season, this is a good test.

What’s happening in Islington? Surely they’re not going to halve the 20mph limit?

Why do Network Rail run freight along commuter lines at rush hour? #ElizabethLine

I assume this is part of the Hanwell art installation six piece art installation. Could do with some #CoulourBlindAwareness as, from a distance, it just says The Music, The Languages to me.

Just watched Chicago PD season 12 ep. 2, "Blood Bleeds Blue" and it was genuinely gripping from start to finish. Probably the best single episode of the entire Chicago franchise.

Quite astounding that with 82,000 people expected to attend Twickenham for the #RWC25 final on Saturday, #TFL have gone ahead with a full Piccadilly Line closure.

Nearly 60 and in a well-paid job but paying a fortune in rent for a little house that I could still be priced out of as wages are stagnant but prices still rise. After years of Brexit, Tory crises/mismanagement, we now have a Labour govt that have thoroughly disappointed. Only Greens give me hope.

What drives Tump and Kennedy to do something as abhorrent as this? This wanton destruction is likely to harm cancer research for decades to come. Why is the Trump’s GOP pro-cancer? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/14/m...

David Cameron’s reckless decision to hold an in-out EU referendum to once and for all make the UKIPpers happy is, time and again, shown to be one of the most naive political decisions in history.

Hallelujah!

#2025RWC playoffs start this weekend The top 4 ranked teams look strong and are clear favourites, but you never know when an upset can happen Local times and broadcasters: www.rugbyworldcup.com/2025/en/matc... and www.rugbyworldcup.com/2025/en/wher...

What a thrilling finish to the game. Congrats France, commiserations to a devastated Ireland side. #RWC25

If Brian Kilmeade can escape any consequences for espousing involuntary lethal injection for homeless people, it’s a pretty clear sign that Trump’s America is past the point of no return. For all of the terrible things done this year, it is the lack of consequences for anyone that is just chilling.

Caught @natashadevon.bsky.social on LBC and I have to take issue with the phrase “we’re better than that”. I kid myself that most people are good and want themselves and others to have a happy life. But 30% would vote for Farage, and 100k came out for Yaxley-Lennon, so I don’t think we are.

Why are all timetabling apps showing no train service at all on the Greenford Branch, but I can’t find anything about any disruption, either.

Was wondering why #BrainofBritain didn’t start this week, and the answer seems to be that it might not start at all. I guess we may never hear another series of #RBQ either. www.bbc.co.uk/commissionin...

It was an abysmal experience on the #ElizabethLine earlier but I’m glad that I’m already at home so I don’t have to rely on the approximate timing of the last train.

New signage next to Hanwell Station has suddenly appeared.

5 Trailfinders players on the Scotland team, 1for Canada plus the 24/25 players Tyson Beukeboom and Chloe Rollie. I think this is going to be a great competition.

The #ElizabethLine is definitely a success. #Hanwell is absolutely packed at rush hour but busy outside of that and at weekends. It’s about time for #TFL to stop terminating so many westbound trains at Paddington and give us (and Acton Main Line) a more frequent service.

What has the ECHR ever done for us?

I’m not convinced that this was a 20mph crash that has blocked the Uxbridge Road in Hanwell this afternoon.

I really do hope the Cabinet Office Forfeiture Committee finally get around to removing Rudy Giuliani's honorary knighthood before it's too late.

A further demonstration of Hanwell’s community resolve at the Clocktower, as we gathered again to oppose the proposed 24-hour slots casino. Hanwell Broadway Councillors submitted a renewed appeal to the Chair of Planning, formally requesting that the breadth and 1/2

Oh, c’mon Tesco, it’s August!

Fantastic result to kick off the season against the reigning #PWR champions. #TrailfindersWomen youtube.com/watch?v=mwTE...

Stumbled across this website and I hope that no one is paying this much for lawn mowing!

I’m exhausted just having got back to London after watching the #RWC25 opener in Sunderland. Then I feel bad for feeling tired spotting that Aimee Barrett-Theron is currently assistant referee in Sandy Park having been referee in Sunderland last night!

It saddens me to see an HST relegated to track inspection work.

Meanwhile, in the UK: all state-funded schools are legally required to hold daily acts of collective worship (e.g. morning prayers, hymns, biblical parables). Clearly, this is religious observance, veneration, and adoption of a favoured religious scripture. humanists.uk/action/inclu...
