Bronson’s accent in ‘The Thursday Murder Club’ makes it unwatchable

The best thing about data is it doesn’t give care about your opinion Consequently - this is also why people don’t like data

Ban him for life from all professional and amateur sport. Make an example of him. This stuff is incredibly dangerous for sport and society. www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/s...

1 month to ski season

I only use Twitter nowadays as a way to collate various news streams into one place. There must be a better way to do this, where you don't have to listen to the idiocracy that it has become?

I have a feeling the TdF might well be returning to Montmartre

Formula 1 - ´we are the peak of technical innovation and engineering’ *drizzles for 5 mins* Formula 1 - ‘ah, well, umm, yes, while, umm no’ #useless

How it started vs how it ended

Packing the car for 2 weeks away camping with 2 kids under 3 and dog This basically involves me carrying various large bags to the car, puzzling on how to fit them in and then returning to find my gf has packed 15 things we don’t need into 7 Ikea bags with no thought to our car’s internal volume

You know it’s going to be a loooong day when it was the sound of bird song that finally soothed your toddler to sleep last ‘night’

Dear cycling media Please stop making such a big deal of ‘lifetime contacts’ it’s basically the same contract that 99% of people have with employers! Riders can still swap teams, change roles, leave, retire etc! Oh and in some cases it was legally necessary

My bank, literally 300m from my house was robbed at gun point today!! 😱 tirol.orf.at/stories/3304...

Surely the headline should have been ‘Councillors come down hard on noisy cock’ It was an open goal

Ignore what the press and critics say…this is an incredible classics campaign

On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked, "If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?" Allow our scaled diagram to explain...

July is going to be quite busy….

Trivia: first team bus in pro cycling? Read some articles saying PDM, others say Renault before them in the 1980s. But let's see those and raise with Super Ser from 1975

It really annoys me to see people use the historical lack of sports science research in women to sell the snake oil that is standardised periodisation of exercise around the menstrual cycle phases!

So proud of the boys today!

If I were America I wouldn’t start down the “boats turning up a few hundred years ago have no rights to land” argument. 😬

So with Discovery you can no longer watch 2 different races at the same time on 2 different screens! I actually think the price is fine but this annoys me!

Please I beg sports scientist not to just repeat a load of studies that have already been done using ‘zone 2’ in the title - be better

The US is no longer an ally to the UK and EU

A.V. Hill was a hero, a genius, and the most upright person Bernard Katz ever met. He helped bring exercise physiology into being. Here’s our review of that story, published in @jphysiol.bsky.social. physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Holding a ski mountaineering World Cup in a resort where you aren’t allowed to ski tour on the pistes is whole host of stupid 🤦‍♀️

The equivalent would have been Roosevelt calling Churchill a dictator when the Luftwaffe were bombing London. It's beyond belief, really.

An ex DS of mine who, on returning from the hospital and telling him I had dislocated my collar bone told me I’d need to tell him again on the morning as he had drank to much wine to remember, just added me on LinkedIn F and off come to mind

Just got asked if I was a professional cyclist…#stillgotit 🙈

Never has so much energy been spent on something that isn't happening by people that understand so little But it is good to see that people can still actually do gold standard HbMass testing! escapecollective.com/new-uci-rule...

Name the mountain

Wow taxis in Switzerland are not cheap!

www.bbc.com/sport/cyclin... I am sure the authors of that most recent CO rebreathing study are very happy with all the promotion they are getting but again for those on the back this is a massive storm in a tea cup

Sat at the airport between a couple having an argument about their hotel booking and a dad with a young daughter on a work call getting increasingly irritated with both the call and daughter

Today is an object lesson in the radicalisation of the British right-wing press. Britain is being disparaged and insulted by a foreign far-right conspiracy theorist. But the Mail, the Express, the Telegraph and even the Times choose focus their criticisism on the British prime minister instead.

‘´The online right picks and chooses its concerns. Where are the calls for inquiries into the Church of England? English public schools? Or any number of British institutions and groups which have had child abuse scandals over the last decade?’ Excellent article here

The older I get the better I think the strokes are!

Don't hate me but I've started a (free) substack. A sort of political journal to try and make some sense of it all. So here is the first one- why Farage may yet emerge from this humiliating day in a stronger position than before. Do subscribe ! goodallandgoodluck.substack.com/p/were-five-...

Big avalanche issues coming up on shady slopes after the next snowfall

Eat too much at dinner Still feel full the next day so skip lunch Get incredibly hungry at ~5pm Start snacking Eat too much at dinner…. #xmas

I told a group of touring skiers today who were heading into the area I just skied ‘be careful, there is a lot of wind blown snow and stability is pretty low’ Their response ‘we are looking for lots of snow’ Amazing amounts of arrogance

Top tip for skimo and freeriding - just buy ATK! The Raiders and Freeraiders are so good you forget you’re on pins! Only pivots ski better imo

Forgot my personal coffee stuff when packing for December camp Here is hoping the team brings the rocket otherwise it’s going to be a long 2 weeks!

TAR BARRELS: WHERE OTTERY ST MARY TURNS UP THE HEAT On the 5th of November, the normally sleepy town of Ottery St Mary in Devon becomes the stage for a fiery spectacle that’s equal parts history, tradition, and pure adrenaline. #Photography #Photojournalism #StreetPhotography #Devon #Documentary

Let’s do a short 🧵 on training, in particular for women. There are a lot of semi-scam programs, under/un-educated influencers, and (un-)professionals promising to train you based on the menstrual cycle. TLDR: It’s nonsense. Let’s take a look at some very high quality research that has come out (1/n)

Well, there’s a story.

Currently very happy with past James who saved present James a lot of work by future proffing some complex spreadsheets!
