Name a TV show you feel like no one remembers but you:

My great aunt was a nun from Glasgow called Veronica. For a moment there I wondered if it might have been her. But she is definitely not back in Glasgow at the present moment. So unless you also dreamed that bit, different person.

I suspect she might have handled the situation quite differently.

I’m up for making one of these. I’d love some guidance!

Not liking spectator sport is one of the best life hacks going. Over a lifetime you'll end up with literally years of time to dedicate to whatever you want, compared to spending it being pointlessly obsessed with other people playing a game

As I put it to my councillor:

Cases of motor vehicles colliding with school buildings are vanishingly rare, as are collisions with residential properties. What we need to look out for, are people. And they have the annoying habit of moving around.

I’m currently reading β€˜Less’ by Patrick Grant, in which he tells us to beware manufactured wants and live a simpler life with fewer, high quality belongings. He owns six bicycles.

Bezos burning the Washington post to the ground is as firm a reason for the continued bbc licence as ever there was. Eventually everything that can be owned by a billionaire will be owned by a billionaire and at that point its future will be determined by the whims of a man making 166k per minute.

Good grief. Do people who don't go to uni not benefit from doctors, librarians, researchers, lawyers, architects, artists, writers, archivists, historians, designers, programmers, etc etc etc...? What is this weird unjoined up world she imagines?

Takeaways should standardise on one type of reusable plastic container. That way you'll always get a lid from the cupboard that fits first time.

I’m deep in dan-y-landsker teal country and I am getting ready to cover my cargo bike in rainbow flags and stock up on milkshakes.

I found really screamy metal worked well with my youngest. Either the white noise of it all settled him, or it sounded like he was singing along.

2025 felt weirdly pivotal for me + bikes. Parted ways with a fast carbon gravel bike. I’ll have just as much, if not more, fun on my steel MTB.

Welcomed a cargo bike to the stable. Excited to see how that goes in the new year.

Grinduro Scotland was my pride, fetching the Christmas tree was my joy.

I sometimes wonder what the treatments/procedures/drugs I've had on the NHS, since this started at the end of October, would've cost in America. And then I don't want to know because it would be *astronomical* and I'd probably have had to sell my house.

Thank fuck for the #NHS ❀️

I live in Wales and today received my Join Us letter from Reform UK, complete with SAE which I posted back to them, immediately, empty. If every other person in Wales did this, Reform would spend over Β£1.5 million on postage. Not sorry. Join me Cymru.

This year’s #TreeByBikeβ€”our family’s 11th in a rowβ€”is made possible by Delft’s amazing network and @CargorooBike electric cargo bike sharing.

A critical reminder that it’s not a lack of carrying capacity that stops people from cycling in your city, it’s a lack of infrastructure.
