Not a motoring offence as he used his fists not his car
A small way to celebrate International Women's Day is to follow the new Giro & Tour accounts, I've set up this week

Having content from all the Grand Tours on here is quite convenient, right?

I'm sure my local operator mentioned hydrogen – smaller molecule needs less permeable pipes was their excuse
It is interesting. I'm surprised there's no mention of wool though – once the main material for clothing, hats, blankets, carpets... It quotes "half the wealth of England rides on the back of the sheep" but doesn't explain that meant fleeces not mutton.

A Saunders Spacepacker – small green tent with a single hoop
Very reminiscent of one of Robert Saunders' single-hoop designs, specifically the Spacepacker. I guess they were less revolutionary than this obit claims

This is absolutely fascinating on English language, and I regret that letters such as 'thorn', 'ash' and 'yogh' have disappeared.

Worth noting that even if Labour and the Greens had split the vote exactly evenly – the absolute worst case scenario for the stop Reform majority in the seat – Matt Goodwin still didn’t have enough votes to sneak a victory.

And there is, of course, next to nothing you can do about it. In the 1930s, riders used to attempt a cure by putting a steak down their shorts and riding on that, with the additional benefit that it tenderised the steak to perfection.
Beef is indeed more traditional, as @doctorhutch.bsky.social recounts

Cerys first showed signs of her musical talents aged nine when she learned to play the guitar, teaching herself Welsh and Irish folk songs, and blues music. After leaving school she spent time working as a nanny in Spain - where she learned to speak Spanish and Catalan - before she eventually moved back to Cardiff.
Before Cerys was in Catatonia, she was in Catalonia #totp #truefacts

UK works fewer hours than most comparable countries Average number of hours worked annually per employed person, by country, 2010 to 2024: Canada France Germany Italy Japan OECD UK US Source: OECD Note: The data are intended for comparisons of trends over time. Due to differences in sources and methods of calculation, comparisons should not be made within a given year
Interesting article about 996 (over)work culture, but aren't BBC News using this OECD data in precisely the way the footnote says you shouldn't?

Cook was born in Surrey in 1926, and spent part of her childhood in Africa before moving to Looe, Cornwall and later Plymouth, where he parents bought a guesthouse on the Hoe.
Interesting article from #BBCDevon on Plymouth artist Beryl Cook:
www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Reporter got a bit confused over her bio – she lived in Africa in her 20s after marrying, not as a child, and she and her husband bought the Plymouth guesthouse, not her parents

I feel I'm missing something and I'm not practitioner of this activity but ... why can't you take a decent hiking rucksack, put it on bathroom scales and fill it with books or hand weights until it reaches your desired load? Must every novel form of exercise require is own specialised equipment?

I like that it's from an age before Western music had to have a definite metre – it seems to change between 6, 4 and 3 beats in a bar. A lot of national anthems are marches, Britain's is a very sedate waltz, but the Wilhelmus has no time signature
