With Tadej throwing away another stage win yesterday (three in just this Tour), I thought I'd check how many podiums he has. Turns out the Cannibal was also good at finishing 2nd on stages... As was Zabel, serial green jersey winner
Sir John (and Shadow) on a sparkling winter afternoon in Marvellous Melbourne
All of that was before he became a Newcastle legend, an England manager, a folk hero in the North East. So many people mourning their hero today. With the great Bill at the Kop with the perm
Reminder that despite @IOC (almost as corrupt as FIFA), Russian athletes were partially banned in 2016 and completely thereafter by IAAF. Grok as usual gets it wrong - this was the latest suspension en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doping_...
Thank you Indigo Ku'Damm, home from home in room 507 for 12 nights (2 spells). Recommended
Here's the enforcer for the Electoral Commissioner - former National Lottery 'cultural diplomat'
No more soccer, USMNT with poor Balogun (who didn't ask for this), Trump the golf cheat, Penaldo. A good night. Even better if Messi and Infantino lose this evening to Salah & Egypt in the FOOTBALL
Android bloat, Google apps using 14GB (including the Play Store) on a 52GB phone. Almost as much #bloatware as Microsoft...
Just saw a Gigatrain going to the Giga factory. Turns out those private trains are inspiring the fascist nostalgia trolls....
In Budapest, too hot to be outside so reading about the recessive genes of the Habsburgs!
'the oceans are warming at an accelerating rate. In 2020, the amount of heat being added to the oceans was equivalent to about five Hiroshima bombs a second. Last year, it was closer to 11. UNSG António Guterres has warned “Earth is being pushed beyond its limits” www.theguardian.com/environment/...
"last time Mexico made it to the now mythical “5th game” was their quarter-final in 1986, last time the World Cup was held on home soil A familiar anxiety that this game will be Mexico’s last at this tournament is building across the nation" Ecuador like altitude www.theguardian.com/football/202...
Sprayed my over heated hotel room with Qatar Airways eau de cologne. Now living in a richly scented harem. Budapest outside smells like an old sewer in this furnace heat
Check back tomorrow but these look likely www.theguardian.com/football/202...
Luckily getting out Friday lunchtime til Sunday night, Berlin already roasting. Today AC lunch with old friend Gunnar at SAP!
The stunning stupidity of #Brexit 5 years after leaving and a decade after the referendum stupidity itself. Remember when £=$1.50? Instantly slashed purchasing power and capital investment, destroyed UK exporting in cars & chemicals. The 10% of GDP deliberately sabotaged by BoJo & vulture capitalism
England has brick houses that release heat internally overnight, they can't cope with regular 30C temperature let alone 40...
"As a way to reshape a party, it was undeniably effective. But the zeal with which McSweeney and his allies purged, demoted, sidelined or otherwise demeaned those on Labour’s left – “punching hippies” as the parlance has it– left Starmer with shallower authority" www.theguardian.com/politics/ng-...
Can confirm - hotter than a hot thing, praying for Donner und Blitzen to reduce humidity. Charlottenberg glorious as ever
Survey of 23700 EU adolescents provides the best evidence: by 48% to 18% they believe social media has a positive effect on their lives. Bet EU ignores that! europa.eu/eurobaromete...
Splendid Evangelical Church of Frankfurt adO, very peaceful little town on the Polish border with the Older flowing north to the Baltic
