ESTRAGON: I can't go on like this. VLADIMIR: That's what you think. 🫡

This is a website which seems to revel in #cat stuff. This wasn’t planned. But was also fairly inevitable.

Thank you to my growing Substack audience, one year into the adventure. As a "reward", here's a glimpse inside the chaos that is my office, and of course Billy the Cat can't resist joining in. substack.com/@nedboulting youtu.be/X61JDA3EM2c

My most read post of 2025 open.substack.com/pub/nedboult...

I had an amazing idea for a blog. Get this: "A Review of 2025!" Genius. open.substack.com/pub/nedboult...

Listened to this yesterday whilst out riding A cracking listen. What a family 😍

Christmas Eve with the Wrights. You’re going to love this one. If only for Fred’s story about the Ronde and his bowels. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/n...

This is a very kind review of a thing I wrote a few years ago. It's a very "rainy Sunday morning" read and will take you about 10 mins to consume, for free. nedboulting.substack.com/p/card-readi...

This is some writing I did about Bridge. It's massively niche and therefore entirely free to read for anyone. Some of it is quite interesting, I think. open.substack.com/pub/nedboult...

Darts

Ran under the Thames through Brunel’s tunnel to go and see the Mudchute lamas. They were unimpressed. They always are. Bastards.

Did you know that you can gift someone a subscription to my Substack? I mean, it's marginally better than getting them a hat they won't wear or a landfill gadget that needs batteries. Like I say, marginally. Merry Christmas. nedboulting.substack.com/subscribe?ne...

Final Reith lecture is insanely interesting

@theortoncobbler.bsky.social My lovely sign has arrived intact! Thank you!

Should have got out years ago

Simply extraordinary. The greatest tale of Hubris of our age. ig.ft.com/saudi-neom-l...

Win the Tour of Britain

An "F" away from a legal letter from NSF

It started with a fire... open.substack.com/pub/nedboult...

England will play football against other footballing teams from different countries guys.

This is now by far my most read and commented post. My farewell to telly. open.substack.com/pub/nedboult...

I took out the swearing. Here is the family friendly version. open.substack.com/pub/nedboult...

Liège is beautiful. Don't believe what you read (except this - believe this) open.substack.com/pub/nedboult...

@nedboulting.bsky.social @writebikerepeat.bsky.social time to get the moka pot on, and dive in

The latest NSF is ALL about Pog - except when we talk about Glastonbury Tor. @Andymcgra joins me in my living room to talk about his latest, very fine book. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/n...

Just to be a contrarian (and because I hate it so much) I have decided to put my Substack prices UP for Black Friday and perhaps beyond. If you want to avoid my tariffs, sign up now: nedboulting.substack.com?utm_campaign...

This is my most widely read and shared post to date. Hit a nerve.

The end of our yesterdays

Look at that collection. That's almost a decade of cycling history - dating back to 2018, when all 3 Grand Tours were won by British riders, and Pog wasn't even a thing.

It’s here!! Proudly added to the library, looking forward to working my way through this. @nedboulting.bsky.social @cyclingalmanack.bsky.social #cycling

Hawksmoor’s Christ Church is demonstrably London’s most beautiful church. Can’t walk past it without looking up.

neverstraysfar.com/pages/sign-up I have been listening to & watching Ned commentate on #tdf #giro #lavuelta for more years than anyone needs to know. Lets keep the tour de france accessible for all #tdf #neverstraysfar @nedboulting.bsky.social
