You know how this works, I say something pithy, you roll your eyes. Do not expect high quality.

Reading is definitely the important bit…but they absolutely do care if the voices aren’t the ones they are expecting and to be fair half the fun is desperately trying to remember if the bloody dog on the broom was more Ray Winstone or Roger Moore the first time you did it.

From a week ago but in an emergency it will do.

You wouldn’t know my warrants, they go to a different school.

A very furry Norwegian Forest Cat is extremely asleep. He is upside down, all four legs are in the air and his head is folded onto his own shoulder.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that my cat is the most asleep thing ever.

Plenty of us hate our own football teams half the time…but we almost always want the plucky underdog to win.

Absolutely agree it is harder but cruising speeds vary so much between riders I would be happy to wager that what e-bikes have done is bring up the average cruising pace of the general public.

Not saying an ebike will always keep up with a regular bike (weight etc. all good points) but the speed for all bikes is limited by the rider’s power first so a stronger rider can use assistance and still power on at decent speeds when it cuts out.

I don’t find it a massive problem, sure I can accelerate faster on my road bike but I have clocked 30mph on my e-bike (assistance stopped at 15mph)

Only with the assistance, riders can still pedal faster without the assistance when it cuts out so probably the same speed as a regular bike (rider permitting).

Given any comments related to the death penalty, I think Biggins having a 'posse' might encourage him somewhat.

My wife thinks that "They’ve got a fucking cave troll!", delivered, as it is, in Sean Bean's down to earth tones, would be the optimal use of the one word.

Tory governments spent Β£325m on free schools that failed or disappeared More than Β£10bn was committed to building new schools between 2014-15 and 2023-24, compared with Β£6.8bn for rebuilding existing schools

I'm not kidding: I reported on this FOUR YEARS AGO in "The Decade In Tory"

It also contained the entire COVID Inquiry (cost: Β£200m). And every single Brexit mistake (Β£140bn per year).

And it's Β£2.50 on Amazon.

Splash out on a MagSafe charging stand…that way they won’t move it and it is always where you expect it.

My wife used to work somewhere they did that and they also brought them free sandwiches, it was to discourage staff from leaving their desks and waste chargeable time using the kitchen or going out to buy lunch.

I’ve been travelling since 5am to get to Hill Dickinson for the first time to see us (hopefully) batter the barcodes. UTFT indeed.
