Big 10 day shift coming on Union Street

Big 10 day shift coming on Union Street

Three cars in the car park to reflect fact that this really is a move that favours walking to the local shop? Or maybe the excellent public transport links?

Calling this now... World Cup 2026 Play Off: Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 v Faroe Islands 🇫🇴 😊😬😰

Hot on heels of reading that the old school postcard is making a comeback, son visiting Germany checks in with the parents from Oktoberfest 🇩🇪 🍺

Latest all-mode traffic surveys show the continued impact of new infrastructure to support everyday cycling: ➡️ More bikes than cars during rush hour on Glasgow's #SouthCityWay ➡️ 90% annual growth in cycling on Edinburgh's #CCWEL ➡️ New Stirling routes helping more people to travel by bike See more 👇

I've got some experience of attaching things to lampposts via zip ties (with Council permission). I've left signs up 24 hrs after event and had them removed/binned by the Council. We could just have consistent rules that are applied consistently!

Bennachie on a Monday!

In a weekend of unacceptable, unsporting crowd behaviour, hope a few golf fans took a moment to tune into cycling World Champs in Rwanda. Absolutely incredible crowds cheering every rider. Heart warming love of the sport 🇷🇼

18 years ago I took my 3 'central belt born' wee boys back 'home' to live in Aberdeen. Today the last of the 3 left Aberdeen Glasgow 2 Edinburgh 1

We need to keep our women and children safe from foreigners. Send him back to Utrecht

Which? Guide to Scotland, 1992 "Aberdeen gets a lot of flak for being the poodle of the oil industry - with accusations of a brash attitude and generally unpleasant boom-town atmosphere" Remarkable change in 33 years!

Getting my @ride-the-north.bsky.social training in

I've not paid all the much attention to the admin of my Instagram account since one of my kids set it up a few years ago ...have now noted that I'd best update description!!

As this new attraction at the birthplace of Scottish tourism notches up a visitor milestone, here's my amazing trip by bus, steamship and electric bike round one of Scotland's most stunning lochs with The Scotsman audio visual colleague John Devlin www.scotsman.com/news/transpo...

Around 2000 people will take the Ride the North cycling challenge on Sat 30 Aug in Angus. It starts and ends at Glamis Castle with among the world's best cycling opportunities and hospitality to match in the county's towns and villages. Full details here www.ride-the-north.co.uk

Cycle route analysis from son .. "If you slap a name on something, people'll do it"

Can't help feel some ABZ opposition to 20 relates to roads which are not proposed to be 20! Meanwhile we still have things like this (Garthdee) with 30 signs erected inside the kids' playing field on on a residential road. It's pretty incredible anyone ever thought this was OK! 2️⃣0️⃣

While I'm good with Le Tour in Scotland (2027) and it's not as 'what?' as The Giro in Israel (2018) ...admit I'm oddly uneasy about 'La Vuelta goes Italian'. Three and a half stages in Italy before it goes to Spain!

When Bournemouth decided their football team would officially be named AFC Bournemouth, was this what they were targeting?

Let the fourth summer heatwave begin!

Should those who pay tax have a voice? Can we use a little of revenue collected to gather/publish visitor opinions & experiences? Where else have they visited? How do we compare? City economy will be helped if city is holding its own. Maybe we need to ask the audience??

Idea for an exhibition at Aberdeen Art Galley ...featuring all the 'here's what it might look like' artist impressions of the city that have appeared in the P&J over the years

Oasis weekend during Edinburgh Festival. Some might say it's the most expensive hotel prices in Scottish history. But might that (in relative terms) still be Offshore Europe back the day?

Ride the North 2025 challenge cycle ride comes to Angus on Saturday 30 August. It starts and ends at Glamis Castle with participants wheeling their way through some of the county’s most picturesque, towns, villages and vistas. Full event details here ride-the-north.co.uk

Very respectable results for Scottish clubs in Europe so far ...and that's before Aberdeen get started

B&Q sell a (bin bag grade) plastic sheet. For £11 😂

This is such a muddle of opinion and (supposed?) fact. Be helpful to have breakdown which is which @pressandjournal.co.uk - there were recent articles about the Rosemount 'buzz' and now it's in decline?

Satisfactory exam results lands teenager dream job within 10 min of recieving SQA text

Ride the North 2025 - There's 30 days until the challenge cycle ride comes to Angus. It's not a race..."it's the sociable cycling event of the year" - with the start and finish lines at Glamis Castle on Saturday 30 August. Full event details here ride-the-north.co.uk

BBC Scotland reporting "Swinney spoke with Trump at a dinner for about two hours on Monday night" ...when you weren't there, but still feel confident predicting that the FM spoke for a period of time A LOT closer to 2 seconds than 2 hours!

Apologies to any temp unfollows that are now reinstated ...a TdF 'result avoidance strategy'! 🚵‍♂️🇫🇷🙈 Appreciate I could just not open social media for 3 weeks (but prone to forget)!!

Today: 🏌️‍♂️ course

Yes they won. Yes they did it again after they won last time. BUT there's no way anyone can say they were the strongest team there. They were more defensive than last time and did defend pretty well, so I'll give them that.

Good luck to Oscar in his bid to catapult Google AI 30 years into 2025 * fair play to Graeme Obree but seems bit harsh on 11-time world champion and a six-time Olympic champion, Sir Chris!!

Bon-Accord - delivered soft drinks, including Limeade, Pineappleade, and Red Cola, to households across Scotland.

Until now I had not really thought about walking as way to see @letourfr.bsky.social ...but I might have to think again!

Mont Ventoux 2016 It all looks remarkably empty having watched that programme on telly last night where slightly skinnier people cycle up this hill slightly quicker!

Tall Ships has been really significant for Aberdeen. A huge demonstration folk are still here, still proud, still engaged, can still find their way into city centre. For me, 'what next' is not about what event. What do we do to harness all of the above?

Pro cyclists have some incredible skills that I could never dream of emulating. Add to the list cardboard ripping ...I watched this 3 times to look for technique! Effortless! I need to channel Alaphilippe for my recycling bin!

Two of my sons (and friends) are going to the Tour de France in the Alps ...taking the high road

They do seem to have different interests

Auld fella just defied the odds on talls ships parking ..that space'll do for me!

Le Tour climbs Mont Ventoux on Tuesday and after yesterday's Ride the North visit, the pros now have a benchmark time to aim for! Thanks to Mike & Carol Reilly for the pics from a very hot looking south of France ...even at 1909m! 🚴‍♀️🏔️

Heading towards a conflict! - I enquire about bespoke product - Retailer shows me design. I say👍& pay - They come back with revised visual/different layout as one shared previously 'wasn't possible' - I say 'That's a pity. Please refund me' - Seller says 'will do ...minus an artwork fee'

Destination Courchevel/Col de la Loze ...for Pog v Jonas v Remco v Oscar!
