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...

Trailfinders Women take on PWR champions Gloucester- Hartpury at home in the opening round of the Premiership Women's Rugby Cup. Kick-off 3.00 pm Sunday 24th August.

"The Opening Show will start prior to kick-off, so ticket holders will be invited to arrive at the stadium earlier to take their seats and experience the opening of the biggest ever Women’s Rugby World Cup. Further details on the Opening Show will be announced soon." Er, when exactly? #RWC25

There is a plague of temporary traffic lights in Ealing at the moment. Most bizarre are the 4 way lights that have been put up at the entrance to the small, enclosed residential area where I live. I’m going to guess that traffic peaks around 5 cars a minute and we could easily work it out.

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

The damage being done by these dreadful people is going to take decades to undo. The similarity with ISIS is quite striking: just destroy anything that doesn’t fit with their thinking. It’s a bit like having angry cavemen in charge who just smash everything with clubs.

Exclusive: The Trump administration has asked NASA staffers to draw up plans to end at least two satellite missions that measure carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, according to current and former NASA employees. By @rhersher.bsky.social

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

Not quite sure how this much damage can occur in a 20mph speed limit.

The cashier at the grocery store told me my total for groceries was $173.34. I demanded they be fired and replaced with a cashier who will tell me I only owe $40. This is what we’re doing now, right?

Only 20 days to go until the opening clash with Trailfinders Women well represented. #RWC25

The old Barclays/Domino’s pizza site by Hanwell Clocktower has been empty the entire time I have lived in Hanwell. It would be great if a good business could take over the site and attract more people to the centre of Hanwell, but a 24 hour slot machine casino is not it. ealing.news/news/hanwell...

No, No No to the slots arcade at Hanwell Clocktower. This is not wanted in our community. Please object to the planning application here - rb.gy/133b4i

Kathryn Dane and colleagues on the current state of safety in Women’s rugby. Amongst other things: - paucity of research into safety in the women’s game - many processes based on the men’s game - women 2.6 times as likely to incur concussion as men theconversation.com/womens-rugby...

Thanks to #AppleNews for posting me the result of the Euro final before the “live” feed on #BBCiPlayer had even started the penalty shootout.

Amazing to think that this 1200 b/s modem was opening up a whole new world in 1984 but 41 years later I have full fibre broadband which is almost 1,000,000 times faster and it’s just considered mundane.

Every single republican voter should be looking at this debacle and asking themselves “AmI OK with this?”.The actions of Trump’s White House, DOJ, cabinet and House, and right-leaning media, is painting them ALL as either paedophiles or paedophile apologists.

The #RedRoses have confirmed their squad for #RWC2025 24 of the squad have previously competed in a World Cup, with Emily Scarratt featuring in her 5th and Marlie Packer and Alex Matthew’s set for a 4th World Cup campaign! #WomensRugby
