No - I’ll watch it. Thanks for the tip. Went to Chelski yesterday. Good fun, if not the ideal result. On train to Geneva now - excellent wifi!!!

Definitely the absolute worst internet connection I’ve experienced in 20 years!!! And electric socket only works intermittently. Can’t wait for competition on the service…

This has got to be one of Gavin Newsom's best...

Could the WiFi be any worse on @eurostarnews.bsky.social ? 20 minutes out of St Pancras, and barely been able to load a page on the internet. Reverted to mobile hot spot.

Couldn't be clearer that a new approach to road danger reduction is needed in the UK's promised road safety strategy.

No

Ban them from football. They are a scourge on the game. Entitled, self-centred, arrogant and despicable.

Luckily, as an away fan, I pay £29 to go to Tottenham.

🧵 A brilliant story:

German Foreign Sec Baerbock about her 1st conversation w/ the Russian Foreign Sec, trying to test & intimidate her.

The Russians intentionally scrambled her line, so it was terrible, but he pretended it was perfect.

Bluffing, she said... 1/2

Delicious vegan pistachio pastry from British Patagonia, before a disappointing match at The Emirates

Nor do you make the poor richer by making the rich richer.

Love your Groove Armada recommendation ✅

Of course, seeing this post in my timeline made me clear my throat.

Don’t mock us - I was there too 😢

#mindfulmurders on Netflix is excellent. That is all.

Apparently only the wealthy should be tax exempt

How is it suicidal for Biden? Not sure a country can commit suicide, unles you count #brexit as an attempt at Suicide. Also, every one of Putin’s so-called red lines that have been crossed have not involved any form of retaliation at NATO countries.

That, and Ukrainian drones/bullets

This is so true. Cycling outside of the cities in the UK is where I feel most vulnerable, get hooted and sworn at, and drivers are at their most threatening. The #Netherlands just gets it right.

If you feel the same, spread the word.

Usually a full bladder forces me out of bed. Followed by an espresso.

Vegan lunch in Verbier/Le Châble. Great company and great food at Le Kôti.

Any time after 1st January. You're out. Sorry.

Another enjoyable pod. Thank you.

Too true

This:

In my experience, Russians hate open windows, especially at this time of year. They have a pathological fear of drafts.

Probably the last bike ride of the year in The Alps, before the snows arrive tomorrow. #Verbier

So frustrating that one cannot take pets on #eurostar trains. It’s really tricky (& expensive) to take pets across the Channel as a foot passenger.
