Did anyone speakout, of any gender?

I'm old and still catching up... Do women want men to fight their verbal battles - this was kind of frowned upon in 80/90s gender learnings.

Look I think everyone in that room should be calling him out, but is pointing only at men what we are doing now?

What's up with iPlayer dropping a while run of new "just a minute" in one go...?

We need a "bless you" for coughing

I miss those days of being able to register individual holes... These days it's just hole, with bits of grass for highlights

Was there an exact point in time that brunch places stopped putting ketchup on the table and instead started to take exactly as long to bring condiments as it takes for a bacon barm to go cold?

It's a nice thought... Sadly the pavement along there had been long sacrificed to cars.

But I'd assume in this case they'll get a drop kerb in like their neighbours. Expensive houses down there, they can easily afford it

Finally did a thing, these have been obstructing Sheepfoot Lane in Manchester for at least 3 years.

Started as a sand ramp giving access for builders then just became kind of permanent.

Reported to Bury Council and were removed within the month

Depressing comments demonstrating that most people trust that a daily mail headline is truth. Even the actual DM article refutes the headline.

HIGNFY ding sterling work to help Richard Osman monetise his hypocrisy this week.

The annoying thing about this is that I'm sure he could handle just getting callef out on it directly

MCR people, Popup Bikes has evolved once more in swanky new digs!

Same quality repairs and an even bigger cafe.

When 30% of the daily average road injuries happen at the same time people seem to start to care about the damage cars can do

Statistically 50 other people were injured yesterday in the UK due to traffic related causes but they don't often get covered

Is allowing my tenant’s friend to stay temporarily a problem? Hi, I am renting a property to my daughter on an Assured Short Hold Tenancy (AST). She would like her friend to move in with her temporarily (about 3 months) she will be sleeping on a sofa bed and…

I had a Christmas job, does that count?

Reminded me of this rhyme my mum used to have on a plate in her guest bathroom (yes, I'm extremely middle class)

I want to introduce him to the concept of a funnel, but it's not my place and he's a great guy so ..

Dear scholars of Oxford, beware!

Avoid it: don't even sit there.

"After spending several months looking for the statue of a head, police were forced to admit it was a bust."

It took less than 60 secondd for this person to search my tweet and declare me a bot.

Which is kinda strange

Anonymous person declaring me a bit because I don't groupthink

Yay, I'm a bot!

Enjoy your bubbles everyone

14 years of Tories broke our systems and left the country in tatters.

But if that Starmer bloke so much as thinks of changing our systems everyone gets really mad, because we love our perfect systems that the Tories left us

And of course promote ebikes!

It was one good hill on my last commute made me make the switch to a motor and I love it

But most people don't want challenges on their commute.

We have to understand the landscape as it exists and attempt to route around it as well as across it where necessary. At the very least we need to accept their doubts and worries. 2/

You're totally right. I have been trying to train this for years with fellow cycling advocates.

Even if 'we' don't think it's much of a hill, those new to cycling definitely will. I've heard campaigners trot out lines about how rewarding hills are, or the benefits of climbing 1/

Dear younglings

I know you do not like the 👍🏼 emoji, and that's cool and all. But please understand to us old Gen X dudes a thumbs up can be a solemn oath that is not given lightly.

It's not just "okay" it's "I've got this"

I have worked very very hard over 30+ years as a radio 4 listener, to NOT get sucked into The Archers (I lapsed briefly, early 2000s)

Your posts are tempting me to the dark side!

Evri just delivered my parcel intact, on time, and to my actual home.

Things can get better people.

As a passenger I sent my dad, from out of town, on a detour through Chorlton and 3 separate Cyclops junctions he'd never seen.

I gave no instructions other than directions to location, didn't even mention the layout, and he navigated all 3 just fine.

As you imply, it's not complicated.
