Fucking gombeens. Love to be seen to do something and it's inevitably the stupid knee-jerk wrong thing rather than the more difficult necessary evidence based thing that will upset some of their gombeen friends
And there we have it folks, having failed to do anything to halt the injury and death toll on our roads the government now plans to criminalise cycling.
This will kill bike share schemes around the country. @bleeperactive.bsky.social

I hated my replacement wheelchair at first. But then I realised the metal rims stick out further than my old one and are great for scratching the paint off of any cars and vans parked across a pavement I'm using. Had it a month and racked up 3 cars and 4 works vans. 4.5 stars.

The keeper going up for the last minute corner, being caught on the break and then conceding into an empty net is always hilarious.
But it's just so much more satisfying when it happens to Rovers.
