Unqualified opinions on all sorts of stuff, but mainly bikes (mtn), & football (Fulham FC). Lapsed tour operator, raft & ski guide, QS for a few weeks

My son is in Australia for a year. This was the one moment of the game I told him to find and watch back - exceptional control and incredible shot, only matched by an equally superb save.
And hats off to the @wolvesfc.bsky.social fans as they didn’t stop singing yesterday - some negativity, some gallows humour, but always pretty loud
Ignore King Kenny; surely that’s got to be a Halloween costume or stag-do wind up in the background? #FFCWOL
Hard agree from a Fulham fan - you know the team that supposedly has a neutral end (we don’t - we did, but we don’t now)
Any of us who like football.
Sadly, by the time it’s called out the (in some cases virtual) petrol bombs are being prepared by some. And I suspect the way the algorithms work, those who need to see the rebuttal will never actually see it anyway.
I’m not sure saying you don’t know anything about the sport you’re objecting to is a particularly skilful argument
Is there a link for more info? Would be interested in either of the SW rivers
I’m generally fairly vociferous in regards to pedestrian rights and the hierarchy, but feel I would allow a funeral procession to pass as one if I were waiting to cross.
And given their attitude to workers’ rights legislation, even if you are white and voting for them you’re voting for your own slavery
Sad news and a well argued article.
I hadn’t noticed what she’s noticed in adverts and, even if I had, I’m not sure I’d care. I hope that means I’m not a racist like she seems to be!
Anniversary alert - according to legend* the Luton player needed an operation on his foot after this challenge on Mitro in 2019 #FFC

*Note: I made up the legend
Update for @martinlewis.moneysavingexpert.com on how DWP are getting on calling people with regards to voluntary NI contributions. I don’t think they did ever call me in May, but they’ve finally got round to me (again maybe) in late Oct!
Underrated skeet - chapeau!
Our binmen can check against the lorry cctv to see if the bin was out and where the homeowner says it was
Presumably there’s no way to know how the magistrates came to that decision? I gather they don’t normally publish their reasoning
Really useful info thanks Harry
Schrödinger’s kids maybe - can see them but also can’t see them so they need hi-viz
There will surely be a tipping point when people see one or two close friends or relatives using and enjoying an electric car in a similar way to their typical usage - same as there was for emtbs for me. I’m there with a bike (and won’t shut up about it) but not with a car yet
Please do. As Bosch owners, my wife and I would be very interested in options. I’m sure anti-theft could be a huge selling feature as I spoke with someone who is keen on an ebike and could use C2W but is scared stiff about security of something so expensive
I agree. I suspect many people have come to rely on them.

I also find sometimes I have to do it manually for spray. Only one of our cars shows when the automatic headlights have activated. So in the other we manually override if we aren’t sure.
Discovering the lack of off road opportunities was a reason for not heading to either country on holiday. Walking and biking are fundamental to our enjoyment and both countries seemed to offer little for us in that regard.
