Two more for the "probably a cyclist" collection

Like the opposite of Giant Strawbs Gone Mini

The edge of the Rockies is an incredible location for a city. Farewell Denver, it's been brief but fun.

In return for information about the thieves, Crimestoppers are offering a large bounty.

It actually looks less snowy on the Cat and Fiddle webcam than it does on my road... this weather is wild today!

Adlington not being taken forward as a new town. The flyer printers of east Cheshire will be gutted.

Spent some time in a Friends Meeting House today and yet again find myself thinking that this atheist could definitely become a Quaker. Organised services where everyone just sits there quietly? Social justice and inclusivity? No obligation to believe in a higher being? Doesn't sound too bad.

I think one of my worst ever sandwiches might also be on a school exchange. Year 8 trip to a suburb of Paris twinned with my school's town. My host family gave me sweet "toast" bread squares with ham and cheese. Sadly my French wasn't good enough to ask for real French food.

Of course the cheeky feckers have closed my query and directed me to the AI-powered chat which is just repeating "Thanks for your question, in order to help you further, could you restate your question with a little more detail please?" back to me even when I ask what detail they need.

Sprung! Twice in the year, around the vernal and autumnal equinoxes, the sunrise shines right along Ingram Street, turning the Iron Duke, his steed, Copenhagen, and even his traffic cone hat into a shadowy work of art against the great doors of GoMA. Picture: u/Hoyerman68

Oh good, of course the scammy Ryanair has charged me twice for the same excess baggage. "the payment hasn't gone through, you'll get refunded" yeh right, funny how it's on my statement already.

Trying to not get wildly annoyed by the patronising granny-sucking-eggs responses I keep getting to questions at work.

Remembering the ancient ways

Fair play though... This train has come from Bournemouth all the way to Stoke (so far) and is still ON TIME.

Abolish the Home Office

Do we really need to categorise fiction like this in the year of our lord 2026?

it's been a really long day and I briefly read this as "flavoured ships" and I was about to have just so many questions

Nick Clegg unveiled a portrait of himself at the National Liberal Club yesterday and it's hard to tell which one looks less like Nick Clegg, the portrait of Nick Clegg or the actual Nick Clegg

dying laughing at the strava data for the guy running laps on the french carrier

I can't recall who on here recommended Seven by Joanna Kavenna but I would certainly pass that sentiment on! A great book, quirky but very readable.

Apologies I am live skeeting this journey but I need to stay awake somehow. Yes I have set an alarm so I don't wake up in Piccadilly.

Why do Cross Country trains only have 5 carriages???? And only run once an hour???? I'm having to sit next to someone at 9 pm on a Thursday. Please no serious train nerd answers.

this is a country that didn’t even tolerate the globally largest sect of its own damn religion

I've just seen a promo for Coventry's fake tram at Birmingham airport. Imagine that somewhere that has AN ACTUAL MONORAIL.

😬😬😬

I guess the council could always install rising bollards but I can't imagine that stranded cars would be great for bus priority? youtu.be/i_Cw0QJU8ro?...

Ha! Yes! First place on a Strava segment! (also...last place)

Oh no, my wheelie bin got broken in the wind last night and I have to PHONE SOMEONE to get a new one.

Timeline Cleanse #WholesomeContent

Lots of tartan cyclists heading through Hazel Grove (Stockport) this morning!

This is brilliant – well done to @walkridegm.org.uk for the successful bid!

Happy Bugged Out! Weekender eve to all who celebrate!

Manchester Evening News relying on anti-cycling sentiment for clicks? Again? Colour me shocked.

Unreasonably excited to see the big Emirates Airbus flying over Edgeley this morning. Mostly because I have a child inside me that loves planes (and trains), rather than any deeper feeling for middle eastern geopolitics.

It's here! The season is upon us!

Did you know that in Cheshire we have some brill Squirrel-themed streets?

I really need to understand (a) how you make these seat reservations without a ticket (it's all very well telling people to find out but Google is absolutely terrible for this now, I tried in December) (b) whether the same thing is possible with bike spaces

Stop, stop! The Labour party's reputation is already dead!

It's certainly interesting to compare and contrast the statements from the two "big" parties that lost their deposit in G&D!

Watching my toilet spewing waste but at least the plumber is on her way. Sadly can't turn on TV because of the poo but I'm sure she'll be here soon

At a quiz last night I couldn't remember Hannah Spencer's surname but it all worked out. We won, and she won too!

I feel like many people who would no doubt shudder at feet on seats are quite happy to see a dog or a wheely bag in the same place.

This thread feels like such a British problem (in a good way!). Awkward politeness combined with multiculturalism.

More wonderful writing from Katie. Very evocative. I really want to sit in a pub and read a book right now.

Based on the quality of driving I experienced on my recent trip to Booths I think the intelligence of the local MP is fully aligned with that of her constituents.

Maybe ChatGPT does use more resource than other backend software but guys, you know Komoot already used AI... right?

Thinking they meant "discreet" was entirely your own problem.

"be safe, be seen" as if wearing bright clothes somehow means that drivers don't act like impatient twats. Had a driver pull alongside to overtake, start to indicate, move ahead and then stop as she "realised" I was in the way. I'd just been sat in front of her at traffic lights for 2 minutes!

Possibly breaking my "don't say anything mean about USA on social media" thing for hockey, FFS.
