I once turned up an entire month early for an interview :-(

Team tracks are lethal. Why no one thought to build a cycle lane alongside the new tram extensions is one of the biggest of many mysteries around cycle infrastructure in Birmingham. Also get well soon!

Wrapped up warm and spotted a foxy visitor on the bike in the park last night.

Protected cycle tracks with floating bus stops keep people of all ages safe on bikes whilst also allowing buses to move freely without being delayed by slower cyclists.

One of my regular climate change correspondents emails to tell me I know nothing about science. Me: I am literally a physicist.

Why the BBC is good… with graphs! My favourite type of evidence.

What you’re witnessing is a populist assault on the BBC. This is not an institutional scandal in any meaningful sense of the word. It is an attack on public service broadcasting. iandunt.substack.com/p/extra-edit...

The BBC is facing a coordinated, politically-motivated attack. With the resignations of director-general Tim Davie and head of news Deborah Turness, Auntie has given in. @janemartinson.bsky.social

Why BBC not show Buckingham Palace and read statement from Snooki off of Jersey Shore?

I am eating a soft cheese that is so disgustingly smelly I’m once again banished to the garden to eat it.

Greenery alongside cycle tracks cuts the risk of flooding by managing stormwater locally, the hedge also makes a nice barrier between bikes and motor vehicles, reducing spray from motor vehicles during rain, as well as improving the look of the street.

Someone: "You can't haul that on your bike" Cargo bike people:

A section of cycle path on the Purple Pedalway had become badly overgrown. We asked Norfolk County Council to clear it but they only did half a job, so we spent two hours yesterday clearing back the vegetation properly. It was hard work but satisfying. We shouldn’t need to do this.

Hey! Calling all Wonder Women! We all are sisters…pulling together with one spirit. 50 years ago today the first episode of the series Wonder Woman aired.

I find the AI cola cola ad genuinely hard to watch.

🚨🚨🚨🚨‼️‼️‼️

Tv moment of the year.

I’ve found my new Doctor #celebritytraitors

You couldn’t write a better story #celebritytraitors

Wooohoo! Cool little moment on the cargo bike. (But Ssomeone slept right through it.) 10,000km travelled!

Oooh cool thing in Stirchly. A sort of red light at a pedestrian crossing bypass allowing you to safely move past while cars have to stop. Also new bike racks placed so that I would block the entire pavement if I used them. One step forward ect ect

Cried at John Lewis advert

Cycle lanes need looking after. This is just lethal.

Stunning. Not in a good way.

Here’s another reason why billionaires are annoying- why are we even taking the Gates memo seriously? He’s not a trained climate scholar or even a seasoned advocate. He’s not a climate expert. He’s a rich dude with an opinion that gets legitimacy because of the money. Hard pass.

We look great. But we are watching K-Pop Demon Hunters.

Alan Partridge was right about an owl sanctuary.

Thought the Times had been hoaxed. Turns out to be so much better than that

Introducing the kids to our family’s Cornish beach.

We’ve rented an ev for a half term road trip. And twice people have pushed buttons/disconnected public chargers while I’m using them trying to charge their vehicle. Like do you use the diesel nozzle from the pump I’m using for petrol?

Feeling vindicated for calling it an epidemic of dangerous driving when we started campaigning with @betterstreetsforbirmingham.org Demonstrations and pressure on the authorities are working - prosecutions for bad driving in the West Midlands have tripled. www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midland...

There is a very special place in hell for parking app designers in general. But to chose to turn off Apple/google pay and then not allow autofill of card details deserves extra punishment.

It’s been 452 days since Birmingham City Council declared a road safety emergency.

Did a nighttime pumpkin patch thing with the kids. Was cute! Will it buy us that extra hour in bed tomorrow? 🤞🏼

Cat read the bedtime story on CBeebies. THE BEAR IS IN A TRAITORS CLOAK!

same in finance. cone of silence. I wrote about that here: on.ft.com/3WSKRU1

Relax, I’ll be right back. Content done with @thebikinglawyer.bsky.social

Imagine standing on that chess board, turning around, and seeing this 😭 #CelebrityTraitors #TheCelebrityTraitors

Ok this is the smart stuff I want from Stephen. #celebritytraitors

Signs have gone up recently in Wilmslow.

I find this absolutely extraordinary. I'm not even sure what the UK equivalent would be?

Alan Carr’s reaction to David Olusoga’s speech is PRICELESS #CelebrityTraitors

But I am a faithful. So WHO VOTED FOR ME FIRST TIME?!!!!!! #traitors

One of the cleverest bits of #Traitors is they start the round table vote at the point that will lead to the most exciting final few moments.

When I was at 5 Live I kept a load of little tape clips of newsreaders announcing “unexpected” moves by inflation.

If there is a parked car on the pavement I will literally walk over it if I can get up the bumper and onto the bonnet or boot, rather than go around it. If I leave a footprint or a dent, even better. It's a footpath, dickheads, park your car properly and not in my right of way.

😭

Happy Diwali! 🪔

Emotions change like clouds across the sun on a summer day.

This is a welly good dog.
