Born in Leeds, living in Lincolnshire. 40 years fiddling bits, wrangling data mainly financial. Retired from the grind, so now it's garden & gears from here on in. #lufc #TdF
Sooty would like to thank the Met Office for arranging the sun to shine on his favorite spot on #InternationalCatDay
Isaac Asimov is probably wondering why the news keeps on borrowing from his short stories
I'm in the market for a new bike and Factor were on my shortlist. But this has got to be a deal clincher. As seen on the #TDFF2026 eu.factorbikes.com/bikes/factor...
French subs are already warming up for the second half. Big comeback on. #ENGFRA
#TourOfBritain is coming past my front gate. Unsolicited advice for the pro teams from someone who rides those roads: bring your Paris-Roubaix setup. Where we don't have potholes we have repaired potholes and otherwise we have *very* stony asphalt. #Cycling
I'd like to think that the Mail's "Senior News Reporter" would have better things to do with his time but here we are..
So to be clear, Starmer says he was influenced to do the #socialmediaban by the parents of kids who just gave them mobile phones and let them get on with it without using any of the many available tools to monitor activity. So we're getting a "law" which will be circumvented in 5 seconds.
Had to reread & check my working on this headline several times before I realised they meant "Burnham: let the furriners starve". Nowt like a plain-speaking northerner...
21 years ago. Did anyone ever take up the fantastic offer of lunch with MP Colin Burgin or a trip to a London musical? Hells teeth this was a depressing time... #lufc
Maybe employ refs who know what handball looks like. Then people won't need to call out incompetence and cluelessness.
Finally... an n+1 bike that doesn't drain the kids' university subs fund. Deep rims, disc brakes, tubeless... it's all the modern things my bikes aren't.
Rather grudging praise in the match report considering the scoreline. Wilko reflects on the importance of Strachan, named as Player of the Year by the football writers.
No, NY Times. "Herb" is pronounced exactly the same way. We shouldn't have to cater for your speech impediments.
