"Stranger Things" marketing team going to extreme lengths in North Tyneside this morning

From the archives on this day 7 years ago and getting a Christmas tree on a cargo bike 🚲🌲 #TreeByBike #CargoBike Don't think my lad was happy with the tree in front spoiling his view...

Holding a bag of your warm blood 🤔😳♥️ Free to a good home. #GiveBlood #NHS #SaveLives

New level of dog ownership unlocked. Sending photos back and forth with my wife to compare dog poo consistency, color and frequency.

#RNLI crew training for sea survival. Big jump, lifejacket deploy, heat retention position on the surface. Next, get into the life raft. Real life? This could be 2m swell, 1am, 5⁰C water....

'Close All Tabs' one of the most productive actions on the laptop or phone. Wowsers.

Fair play to bus drivers who do rail replacement. Passenger confusion and gripes, badly parked oversized cars... They get it all.

Should have reposted this on 5th Oct for #JamesBondDay

My nephew at an educational cycle park in Australia, patiently waiting for the green light. Behaviour norms/change - start while they are young.

A wet and windy Friday night couldn't keep away a storm trooper, wizard, witch and the Joker from a Halloween Cycle ride... Cheers to @ntstreetlife.bsky.social Plus a 4 yr old who joined for his first group and night time ride! 👏👏👏

Still hopeful of #Strictly tickets but might have to move on with this hope...

If you are playing Uno with your family (and love Star Wars) and a 5 comes up on the red deck, it's mandatory to say, "Red Five standing by"

Hallloween Cycle ride next week! Fri 24 Oct. Starting point will be Tynemouth (clock tower) and the ride will run on the new cycleway to Whitley Bay and back again, leaving at 6:30pm. As always, fancy dress and lit up bikes strongly encouraged! 🎃👻 fb.me/e/5wvc5LaGr

Ellie and Vito for this year's #Strictly 👏

No sewage should be left untreated as it enters our waterways. Who else is plunging into cold water to raise funds and awareness this October?! 💩🌊👎#DipADayInOctober @sascampaigns.bsky.social Donate 👇 socialsync.app/fundraiser/c...

A changing of the guard at #RNLI boathouse at Tynemouth. We are looking for our new Coxswain to help lead the crew. jobs.rnli.org/vacancy/coxs...

A family friend died recently and the momento from the funeral was bottles of his favourite hot sauce. Legend.

Looks like George and Mildred did some decorating in our kitchen... 😳 DO NOT ADJUST YOUR SET

A rant. If you are late to drop your kids off at school or public transport, that does not make you exempt from rules of the road nor to put others lives at risk. A bunch of kids and parents were almost taken out this morning by a driver (rule H2!) turning into a road.

Maybe I should have done this earlier in my life but basic brick laying is harder than it looks.

Reminder esp for drivers on the Highway Code with new school year in UK 👇 "Rule H2 - Rule for drivers, motorcyclists, horse drawn vehicles, horse riders and cyclists. At a junction you should GIVE WAY to pedestrians crossing or waiting to cross a road into which or from which you are turning"

Visualizing post work laps and an espresso to blow the cobwebs away at a restored Tynemouth outdoor pool...

Lad #2: Dad, how long do we have to spend at the beach for our eyes to turn blue like Paul Atreides ? (Me, wiping a tear away with pride)

To the lovely souls who stole my wife's bike, you left the Brompton. No class.

Ctrl + PrtScn then Ctrl + V into paint, still my favourite shortcut.

While we’re still figuring out life on Earth, Voyager 1 is 15 billion miles away, cruising on 69KB, an 8-track, and 1977s Fortran like it’s nothing.

Just me or is the tannoy voice on the Metro, similar to the voice on the solido projector from Dune?

Either a new vegetable for the table this week or something is going to spawn from this Juggernaut shape Alien style.

473 ml of the ole claret pumped out. FREE SNACKS AFTER DONATING! #GiveBlood

To anyone in the north east who is still trying to work out today's wordle, my apologies as my boy shouted out the answer down the street to the mother in law...

🚨📢 Aussie diaspora 🇦🇺🦘🌏 Triple J counting down hottest 100 of ALL time NOW... www.abc.net.au/triplej/live...

World #DrowningPrevention day is 25 July. My effort in raising awareness in the community (#5) to help red + yellow flags and their meaning at the beach. I almost drowned many years ago when I didn't swim between the flags 😔 Learn to swim + float to live... @who.int #RNLI #SLSGB #SLSA

Proud to be part of the #RNLI Tynemouth crew, I've made the team board and now on second stage with boat crew training. Amazing turnout at our lifeboat day today. Thank you if you came (apologies if I didn't see you).

Tomorrow, who's in?

Improv stand up desk using a Brompton. Could become a bookable option on train services?

NEW: 12 of England’s 13 regional mayors* have signed up to develop a “national active travel network”, based initially on safer routes to schools. This includes Labour mayors, and two Tories *and* Reform’s Luke Campbell. Are the transport culture wars over? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Local lawn bowlers flexing.

Here's how I roll on a Friday night. Catching up with the @nthtynecyclesoc.bsky.social crew

It’s nearly that time again. Tynemouth start, Friday 6:30pm. Meet at the clock tower.

Rightio, I've tried a number of times with 'The Inferno' wish me luck. Impulse buy with a strong coffee....

A sunrise gathering for a local legend, lovely person, cold water swimmer and a friend. Will miss ya Mallory 💔

Solve problems with a tools, WD40 and duct tape? Like fixing engines? A key role with #RNLI Tynemouth is for a station technician. jobs.rnli.org/vacancy/seni...

SESSION CANCELLED. Due to fog and low visibility.

A little sign that speaks volumes. (Originally from Reddit I understand)

Free surf safety lessons as part of #DrowningPreventionWeek this Saturday 14 June nsvl.org/surf-safety-...

Pro tip to new parents: there is absolutely no point in buying hooks for your kids items (coats, bags etc....) they will never be used, ever.

Could an emoji save a life? 🤔❤️🌊🏊 A way back I put the case for a #RedAndYellowFlagEmoji After 4 years wait, I've submitted again to Unicode, see if a combo of 🏳️🟥🟨 (+zwj) might work to help the beach safety message. Global + ISO mandated, why not an emoji? 🤞Stay tuned. x.com/davidmajaric...

I'm part of a great crew down the #RNLI Tynemouth station. We are looking for a volunteer to help a key role to help with launches 👇🛟🌊🚤🦺 volunteering.rnli.org/vacancy/laun...

Big fan of Bromptons (mine is a 20yr old 3 speed) and I always check them out. This is different, bar attached to allow a kid up front. Nice.
