In 2017 I travelled round the world by train and every single one ran, every connection was made. Until I got back to London and Thameslink was shut.

I wasn't able to watch the racing this weekend, so I've been avoiding your posts, sorry. Trying to catch up today and I can only find 2-man 1&2, plus monobob 1 on the ibsf YouTube. Was everything cancelled, or have they not posted yet?

Although, maybe that dead heat in the 4-man at the Olympics? :-)

He does get a bit excited sometimes, but I just can't picture it ;-)

The Hbf is great, but I really miss arriving at zoo after a long night train. First time in Berlin I arrived off a sleeper... The city was very quiet and I remember walking through the fog and seeing the ruined church. Strange experience.

This isn’t even about “bias” at this stage.

This is about whether the national broadcaster should be able to use bigoted slurs to describe a victim of crime.

Truss is now the very epitome of treason. More than Joyce, more than Burgess, Philby, Maclean or Blunt, more than Guy Fawkes. Maybe not more than Farage 🤔

Surely a candidate for a @wtyppod.bsky.social episode? The number of excess deaths since Chernobyl caused by burning coal instead must be the highest death toll episode ever?

Could they not just build the second rail 1435mm away from the first one? @garethdennis.uk #gadgetbahn
