We’ve made the final selection 🥳

I had some tablet as my race food for the Braveheart ride. Proper job it was 😋 Sadly the sugar rush was a brief highlight in an otherwise age appropriate performance.

For Trump’s MAGA Olympics what you will need to express your thoughts and values is an appropriate person on the merchandise. Sporty, tall, preferably blonde and female. Cycling has had its woke moment in Rwanda now the time has come to go back to business.

Before driving home from the Braveheart bike ride & dinner I was bribed by STV with authentic Scottish Empire biscuits. Guaranteed to contain 110% sugar. What’s that saying ? You can take the Glaswegian out of Glasgow but 🤔😂

Overheard in Weymouth whilst going thru’ the town centre to see the beach motocross. Said in an outraged voice .
“He’s taken all the money and he’s taken all the weed” 🙉

This used to be on my walk home from school. Through the tunnels , turn left and it was 200m to the chip shop on the corner where the bus fare I didn't use would probably be spent. Shawlands was almost posh. 🙃

When I began transition at the start of the 2000s the NHS wait was 2 yrs for 1st appointment. Already they tried to limit private care options. Many med professionals have been forced to retire/ stop care by NHS gender bosses. The current GIC system is broken & private care effectively outlawed

The answer to that if one was to offer an opinion could well be 'nothing' and 'to be more maga'
But remember the UCI say politics and sport are separate.

It takes a special kind of person to go to the African continent and show support for someone who was OK with racist and slavery views. The Rwandian children watching is so ironic.

Good and I apologise for not fully reading the whole thread. A ban or exclusion without any evidence is direct discrimination. Sports bans have been the easiest sell to the ‘what if’ crowd . They cling to victimcould

You agree with a trans competitive ban ?? Ok tell us on what in competition results that is based. The 100 metres sprint ? 100 m swimming ? Cycling road races at international level ?
Any sport will do b/c we’re interested to know who these trans competitors are and how dominant their results are.

Windsor bookshops have had to restock after a rush of orders

she can begin with the Tour de 4 org as I took part in their recreational event. Let her show how my participation in fundraising for cancer care discriminated against the other women there . Also not d the words of her statement saying the mere presence of a trans woman makes her a victim 😱

'new pilot scheme in the SW will be given £125k to help patients on the waiting list by providing more information to patients before appointments & mental health support'

SW has @5000 patients, wait up to 8 yrs, according to the DHS so it breaks Streeting's heart to the sum of

£25 per patient 🤔

Ooh tablet 😋 guaranteed 110% sugar , that’s serious stuff . None of that poncy Kendal mint cake pretending to be sporty.

Some things are obligatory when in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Most defendants turn up to court and try to look respectful for the occasion. Of course if you are a 'comedian' then choosing to look like a clown is perfect.

Tour de 4 this Sunday

Trauma Teddies going to Ukraine #SlavaUkraini

It’s all about the right tools for the job. 3 speed hub gears, coaster rear brake. I’ve left the mudguards (not that I ride in the rain 😬 ) but the rack and kick stand are removed. The ex-racer ego said they had to go.

I'll be there, September 7th.

September 7th, 92km around Glasgow for great cause and a great man. One of my heroes. See you there 🚴‍♀️

this article is a masterclass in avoiding blatantly misgendering a trans person while still not recognizing their gender identity

"Dr. Upton" is "Dr. Upton" in every sentence about her. i noticed it because my family does it to me.

Not that i'm aware of. You could give the relevant broadcasters some feedback on who you would like to hear. They are always pleased to learn and process such information.

The concerned person’s reason to stop selling comic books 🙈

Trans tribunal nurse accused of wanting to Sandie Peggie allegedly made the comment at a work lunch, along with other alleged remarks insulting transgender people

Racism, homophobia and Islamophobia from the ‘concerned’ nurse who admitted harassment of a Dr who happens to be trans . The media now seem shocked b/c they were ok with the transphobia.

The Donold going on about 'Bad People" arriving in boats has a certain irony to it
