Blowing a flippin' hooley out there today for my lunchtime e-bike trip to town 😳!!
Still, here's a proud mum shot of my lad and his coffee van. If you're in #stamford on a Friday, do visit the #RocketVan for amazing barista coffee - the best in town!

Occam's razor applies.
The Dardanelles are open for transit, First Lord of the Admiralty Winston Churchill said. "The only thing prohibiting transit in the straits right now is the Ottomans shooting at the fleet," he said. "It is open for transit should the Ottomans not do that."

It's a joy and some of it about characters right in your neck of the woods.
None of our last 3 managers had managed in the championship before. And the same goes for much of the playing squad. It's relentless physically & mentally. 7 months in and errors in physical preparation will get found out now. JS will have learnt. End of next season is the time to judge all of them.
It is extremely difficult to construct a practical case against this position. Net Zero is now as much about patriotism as it is about climate change.
I've read this on my Kindle e-reader. A fascinating account of some remarkable public servants, impeccably researched by the author in our rural communities. Making that 10k steps per day goal seem laughable.
😂😂
I demand to see Wistman's Wood represented on a £20 note with a Beaver dam on the Dart below on the reverse. This British Nature plan is a terrific idea and HM the King surely will approve.
Venal bastard would have my choice, but we can go with this too.
Mandelson wanted half a million when he lost his job, cheeky fucker.
Italy Won’t Join US-Israeli Attacks on Iran, Meloni Says
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said her country will not participate in the US-Israeli attacks on Iran, and is instead seeking to help with a diplomatic resolution.

Most of the press and parliament have been so focussed on "gotcha" spotting with Starmer that they lost any analytical ability on his decision making.
TOP TIP: get round the problem of no plan surviving contact with the enemy by having no plan.
Wow.
Sen Murphy just now: Trump team briefed Capitol Hill that destroying Iran’s nuclear program is NOT one of their objectives.
So why ARE we at war? What the F are we doing there? Is Trump sick? Senile? Psychotic?
Really — what the hell is going on?
I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
The Iran war benefits Russia by driving up global oil prices, potentially easing sanctions, and rescuing its war-strained economy. Additionally, the conflict diverts Western attention from Ukraine, strengthening Moscow's geopolitical leverage while accelerating global disorder to EU's disadvantage.
Corruption in plain sight. At least the likes of Muboto hid the stuff in tax havens. Total impunity. USA is a failed democracy now.
Wait until you hit 60, then the wins really start to come if you manage yourself well. 😆
(I've had 15 since then, distances up to 50 miles, all recorded and celebrated.)
Keep showing up.
Well done to you! You can only compete against those in your category. The fact they are fewer as we get older shows our own persistence and resilience. Keep that fire burning. 👋👋
❗️The US military has lost 11 MQ-9 Reaper drones during Operation Epic Fury in Iran, worth over $330 million in total, CBS News reported, citing US officials. #Iran
🤨Fox News showed "American" interceptor drones in action, but there's a catch... the video shows Ukrainian STING drones shooting down Russian drones.
It's OK. Users of Grok and X aren't interested in facts, just in applying their confirmation biases to anything and everything.
Curling by humans is pretty skillful.
Superhumans say, "hold my beer"...
Peak Farage now a mere dot in the rear view mirror. How could anyone be fooled by this weasel, sycophant of authoritarians?
Iran struck Bahrain's Bapco refinery processing 267,000 barrels per day, attacked the US Fifth Fleet base in Manama and a US base near Erbil, Iraq. Brent crude topped $119 per barrel. Trump called critics of rising oil prices "stupid" for opposing the campaign against Iran's nuclear threat. #Iran
Putin's man in the White House is doing a great job of helping fund the war in Ukraine. Oil futures are up 16% as Asian markets open. Black Monday anyone?
