I'm simple soul, impose a public transport route on a normal map and I'm happy.
The Superloop just got even bigger.
The SL11 has landed, and it’s cutting through South East London with quicker journeys and smarter connections to the Tube and Elizabeth line.
Free to ride for the first week.
Better connections. Better journeys.

I have had to come up with an elaborate plan to 'Vicar of Dibley' two weddings in one day (in two different counties) because I love love, and love my friends. But please, no more, there literally aren't enough hours in the day.

I would really like an audio version of A History of the Roman Empire in 21 Women/A Rome Of One's Own by @emmasouthon.bsky.social but I cannot for hide nor hair find a version I can buy in the UK, I'm hoping it's something to do with licencing and it'll be out one day. 🙏

The most unrealistic thing about the Jurassic franchise is the idea that everyone just gets bored of dinosaurs within 40 years of them being resurrected (and rampaging) that the Natural History Museum has to close because no one's interested any more.

My most annoying trait at my new job has to be my insistence of using the 🌊 emoji when emote reacting to people signing in and out for the day. (It's a wave. I'm waving hello.)

The 'have a cry, you'll feel better' people have a lot to answer for. My face hurts, I've got a headache and another five hours to go at work.

Just watched 21 minutes of Lucky Day which somehow recorded with music and background noise, but no dialogue. Thought it was a stylistic choice before deciding to just check on iPlayer and... Nope, spoken dialogue all the way though.

"Yeah, I don't think everyone would be routing for you." It's true, but it shouldn't be my mother's response to me saying that I don't think I'd be a sympathetic character if I were on #RaceAroundTheWorld.

If I can convince the people at the fracture clinic to let me have a picture of my x-ray (last time they said no because of GDPR, wait, it's my ankle?!) I'm going to embroider a matching pair of breakages.

Petition to stop voxpops because all it does is uncritically reiterate misinformation without educating - making opinions based on misinformation self-fulfilling because, well, it was on the news.
