Work begins on £2.17m removal of controversial cycle lane dubbed ‘Britain’s most-hated’ Work has started on removing the controversial £1.7m cycle lane, dubbed “Britain’s most-hated” on Linthorpe Road in Middlesbrough.The £2.7 million removal is being funded by the Tees Valley Combined A...

Even if this lane was badly designed, it's sad to see Tory and Labour leaders so gleeful over cycle infrastructure removal - maybe improve it rather than just remove it? I guess that's too difficult for politicians who want a quick win.

It’s great for people who thought 22 cars was too many. There’ll be a maximum of 20 on the track at the end of every race 😬

Rute, Iznájar and Priego Cordoba are all very close to one another and where my husband and I are planning a scouting trip next year. Lovely little towns far enough away from all the expat hotspots if we can get our Spanish up to scratch 😊.

Mi a mi marido, buscamos para una casa en Andalucía en este momento. Ojalá en Rute o en Priego Córdoba.

Two lovely cycles today with an ascent that had me sweating - but I’m feeling better for all the exercise I’m getting. #fitness

Get you a man who goes to a likely homophobic country gig but looks at you every time there are love lyrics.

I think the Switch 2 screen might be the *perfect* size for playing GBA games.

Paid £17 for a game I have already sailed the high seas for many, many times… #pokemon

I’m so excited that it’s Pokémon day.

Almost nothing brings me as much joy as this silly little series.

I’ve been a fan for 23 years and going strong.

Is he a terrier breed? Our Patterdale does hugs just like that!

I really hope the Hyperspace Distortion is an indication of how environments might look in Pokemon Gen 10. The texture work is such a massive step up from Scarlet and Violet. #pokemon #gaming

Took Komoot’s suggested route back - got chased by farmer’s dogs, the map suggested roads that didn’t exist, and the hills were like cliffs. We live and learn, and fitness feels good.

Managed my first cycle over the big hill to work in a long time - a little electrical assistance was needed but I still burned those calories like they’d offended me

I went to see it in the WMC last week! Singing = fabulous. Acting…was more panto, I thought 😅

My husband and I are doing exactly the same thing! Andalucía seems to be calling us at the moment.

Ah, the annual Valentine’s mismatch. Tale as old as time.

Oh I’m a simp for my man every day of the year. (Do the kids still say simp?)

Gotta be soppy for Valentine’s Day, it’s the law. I’m a lucky husband.

So in love with my husband it’s unreal

The two most stereotypical Welsh tourists in Benidorm. There are people walking around in full Sherpa jackets, but you can pry my shorts and T-shirt out of my cold dead hands.

First 5k in about 5 years! Much to improve on if I’m gonna reach 10k by May. #fitness

I know I owned a PSP for years and yet cannot remember a game I played on it. Did I just use it as a DVD player?

My first game on:

GBA: Pokémon Sapphire
PS1: Scooby Doo and the Cyber Chase
GC: Mario Kart DD
DS: Nintendogs
Xbox 360: COD Black Ops
PSP: (owned and can’t remember one game)
Wii: Wii Sports
Xbox One: Halo Infinite
Switch: Mario Kart 8
Xbox Series X: Elden Ring
Switch 2: Mario Kart World

I dream of this speed 😅

‘Wow Connor, you make running look so effortless’ said no one, ever, for some reason.

I don’t think the SNP have put forward a compelling enough case for the Yes vote. The UK might be in a state, but there’s no real vision for the future that shows how they’d save Scotland from that. I’m pro-independence for Wales eventually, but I can see how much pain we’d be in if we tried today.

Fuck yeah Nintendo! Nice to see that they’re adding gender options, whilst so many big corporations are scaling back on diversity. #gayming

Ok now that’s glasses inspiration.

Feel like I’ve got to poll friends, family and colleagues to get consensus in every environment 😅
