New series of The Horne Section tonight. The pea song starting about 1m20 into this clip from last series made me laugh a huge amount. Builds beautifully to the very silly, very rude reveal.

A team of six from Geze at Fradley (the second Geze team this year) helped us weed and tidy the bund on the large field at Falkland Road. The hedging and young trees are in good shape.

Another team from Geze is due next week to complete the task.

Thanks Geze!

I couldn’t agree more, it leaks when it rains, the escalators never work and they left the Hill Street entrance as a mess to cut costs.

I’ve been playing with a new toy - the Merlin Bird ID app. Not very surprising results so far but will be interesting to see what else I can spot. #BirdWatching #Birds #Birding

A fine pint of Wychert from the Vale brewery at the White Swan in Faringdon. A very southern style beer but somehow still enjoyable πŸ˜‰ 🍺 #Beer #Pub

Parking charges plan for popular Birmingham parks - full list Birmingham City Council has controversially proposed introducing parking charges at Sutton Park, Lickey Hills and Sheldon Country Park

About time too - it’s always amazed me that people get to park for free at these parks. This about the 5th time this been proposed- maybe it will finally happen this time. #Birmingham #Cycling #NotHoldingMyBreath

Hey, can any of you #Birmingham folk help me remember the name of an popular #indie pub from around 1989. You had to go upstairs onto an upper level to get in & it might have been two floors. Somewhere around Smallbrook Queensway?There was a great record shop around there too.

Of course, but this is headline grabbing and I for one would rather the government focus on the dangerous car drivers who kill everyday on our roads.

Cyclists who kill could face life sentence in proposed law change The amendment would also see increased sentences for deaths and serious injury caused by cyclists.

For context - on average 3 pedestrians are killed per year by cyclists compared to 419 by other vehicles. #Cycling #Roads #Cars

Been at Midlands Hurricanes vs North Wales Crusaders for League Express today.

A 31-18 win for the visitors to end Midlands' unbeaten start to the League One season.

Christian Wade: Wigan Warriors sign Gloucester winger Gloucester rugby union winger Christian Wade will join Wigan Warriors in a cross-code switch at the end of the Gallagher Premiership season.

It will be really interesting to see how this works out. From Rugby Union to NFL to Rugby League via some more Union in between.

A think it’s safe to say Birmingham City Council is winning its battle with the striking binmen. Even emptying the recycling today.
