@FredVFalcone Tides has accepted her but Tilly hasn't ... it's annoying

@jennepiep @badbrainAJ @takeuchi_mu Indeed. I love those drives where you’re climbing and you don’t have a horizontal perspective and then have to turn, barely braking, downshifting to keep the speed thru the turn. 😬😳

@badbrainAJ @takeuchi_mu He is simply the best , dont get me wrong , Max is stunning absolutly But Senna is the 🍒on the cake 💁♀️

@petermoreve @BigNGandBertie Houses in my area are north of $600K. Just a few miles over, >$1M. And that’s 30-40 yr old ranch style homes around 2000sqft. It’s insane really. PE had bought a lot of homes and renting them out for astronomical prices. Means folks are moving to less expensive areas.

@FredVFalcone @BigNGandBertie That's crazy!
It's a huge time bomb!
Tell me, how much is US spending daily on bombs, rhetorical question.
America First but not Americans?

The replies to this are amazing. People absolutely missing the point as usual.

My only response to boomer housing discourse is that my nan on her final salary teachers pension gets the same monthly income I get as a teacher on the inner London pay scale

@petermoreve @BigNGandBertie Not only are mortgages “unaffordable” but so are rents. Saw a small 3-2 for rent going for $5K/month. I’m like are you kidding!

I made spaghetti with mussels in a white wine, garlic, celery and basil sauce. Topped it off with a little parmesan cheese. It was surprisingly tasty.

@jennepiep You can take the kid out of the Med (Sicilia) but you can never take the Med out of the kid…

@FredVFalcone Ahaaaa a little mediterrane feeling somewhere in Texas ❣️

The moment has finally arrived:
I'm the official ambassador for the new Tonale at alfaromeo_switzerland
As you know, I've been driving cars from our Alfa Romeo collection for years from the Alfa Sud to the 147 GTA, the Giulia QV, and the 4C.
Tonale modern,dynamic pure Alfa.

"Wout" "Ganna" "Pedersen" I don't want to hear ANYTHING about them having a chance in next Roubaix.
It's between Pog and MvdP and the rest will be 2+ minutes behind

@festinagirl Warmish…enjoy that! We got a nice cool front that pushed humidity/heat out. Raining all this week which is great. Not quite ready for +32C weather….

I've said it before and I'll say it again. If I was good enough, this race is the one I'd be worst at.

@petermoreve Yup, I can use my Spanish grandparents credentials. I was looking at Italy as well but they’ve changed their rules to children of Italian ancestry. Anyway, I think Spain is suitable.

@FredVFalcone Sanchez is proposing a 100% tax on property purchase by non EU citizens. If you're considering buying you may need to act quickly altho' with your Spanish heritage you may be eligible for Spanish nationality quickly
CAVEAT my understanding is not a substitute for pro' advice
🤣

España calling?

went out to a restaurant last night ate a delicious meal for only €10 drank one of the most beautiful wines I've ever had in my life (just €5) at the end of the night, the waiter didn't beg for a 50% tip instead, the restaurant paid him a respectable living wage without having to rely on charity from the diners on my way home, I enjoyed a free ride on public transit instead of paying $3,000 a month for a leased car that costs an additional $750 a month in Gas just to operate The American mind cannot comprehend the beauty of living in Europe

@velo_bristol @Trudgin @petermoreve @ConorTMcGrane It is funny though and conjures up many images. 😂😂 I hadn’t had my coffee so in “spectrum” fashion, blurted out what was in my mind. Apologies, but not really.

@Trudgin @FredVFalcone @petermoreve @ConorTMcGrane @johnlonie42 Behave!
We don't want this thread to descend into NSFW stuff

@Trudgin @velo_bristol
I've got Jez Cox, Dr Hutch, Joanne Rowsell and Alice Barnes on comms for the men's Ronde, none of whom have ridden it.
Is it the same in UK?
Also there appears to be ads

@FredVFalcone That’s the plan, hoping to get there by the end of the year. I don’t want to get over excited and injure myself.

Guess who just ran their first 5km in about 7 years?!
Me!!! February couldn’t run for a bus, today 5km in 40 mins and 34 seconds. 😎

@petermoreve @weegiewheelercc Threatening then begging them to open SoH. No, far from presidential or leadership. I can’t believe it comes down to this..
English
@weegiewheelercc He remembered to add the apostrophe after the 'n' though, so professional but hardly presidential
