It's a good reminder that you may like Mark for some of the roles he has played but he's an actor so it doesn't define him out of hours

Nick @nickrh14.bsky.social · 1d

Right we are all decided. We know it is Jonathan so let's vote for Mark. Madness #celebritytraitors

Hold on, traitor implicates traitor. At last, but will Jonathan throw Cat off the tower? #celebritytraitors

Nick @nickrh14.bsky.social · 1d

David working out that somebody is leading the round table but then suggesting it is Joe rather than he who spoke first and accused Stephen of doing the same #celebritytraitors

So glad you mentioned it. Now watched the Hollyoaks to Brookside mash up. Loved the theme being used and so nice to know that in soapland anyway the close has continued as normal over the missing years. Nice that they found a cameo for Phil Redmond and great to see so many familiar faces

Is it just a 30 minute one-off? I might have to find it on catch up

Sounds as if #StormBenjamin is already knocking on the window

Ooh, is tonight the night? Forgot all about Hollyoaks when they shunted it off to the digital channels. This sounded like a nice idea but maybe it hasn't worked out that way

Thanks Kevin, really pleased that you were happy to engage with us on this and great to hear a bit more about the thought behind the clock

They zoom around with the idea that they pause at the top every minute. This is because they used the analogue swiss railway clock as the inspiration. But yes, having the arrows showing hour and minute might have been another solution. I expect @kevin-lan.bsky.social could tell us why not

Keep an eye out. They will be popping up either as standalone clocks or on the banks of info screens at big stations. And if you need the double arrow socks to go with them, you can get them from the design museum

Well done to Billingshurst local history society and the community partnership for celebrating #railway200 locally. A great leaflet with old photos etc reminds you what history the Arun Valley line has since it opened in 1859 #ukrailway

Not getting political but we learned from the Boris Johnson era that if the media is shouting over here we really should be looking over there to see what isn't being talked about. I wonder what we are missing

Had to be done. The new #railclock at London Bridge. It's big and clocky in a busy place

The new rail clock above the concourse at London Bridge station. The circular black clock has two red train lines around the edge of the circle and an arrow goes round each line, one clockwise and the other anticlockwise. At the top and bottom they meet up to form the double arrow rail symbol. The arrows pause for 1 second when they get to the top

Sounds like a #delayrepay claim waiting to happen. Looks as if things are a bit messy this morning my.live-departures.info/Todmorden/

Don't forget the return of the little + sign on a profile pic if you don't follow them. We had it originally but then it went away

Nick @nickrh14.bsky.social · 4d

Quite pleased with how this turned out. Maybe the dark mornings aren't so bad 365project.org/nickrh14/365...

Soggy commute

After a dry few weeks I know we need the rain but I really didn't need it to come between the house and the station. This is Three Bridges station, nice and dry from inside the train

I've chosen to save Chris and Nadya even though it was all lifts and very little dance. That's why we don't normally give Shirley a vote. Sounds a bit of a put up job to emphasise the rotating judge #strictly

Nick @nickrh14.bsky.social · 4d

Oops, sorry about that. I was expecting the huge following of EastEnders fans to carry her forward from mid-table

Nick @nickrh14.bsky.social · 4d

Some definitions of icon wouldn't stand up to BBC Verify analysis, but then they said that about the celebs too and we like them all now #strictly

As we know, the thing about the quickstep is that it is quick and has a lot of steps in it #strictly

Nick @nickrh14.bsky.social · 4d

Glad that my votes didn't go to waste. ✅ Stefan and Dianne and La Voix and Aljsz through to next week despite the annoying new results music #strictly

Nick @nickrh14.bsky.social · 4d

They are talking up the rotating casting vote judge thingy. it might matter to the judges but really I'm not sure we will really see what all the fuss is about #strictly

Nick @nickrh14.bsky.social · 4d

A timely reminder although obviously it is ok to test mince pies at any time of year
