I'm not one for self aggrandising (honestly. I get really weirdly self conscious) But even I'd say they were really fun. Completely different but a joy to be a part of. Listen to them here.... bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0… bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

Anyone got a good tip on a place to stay family wise in the Bristol area? (Looking for a weekend away as we hard hole from Cornwall)

@jackcoder0 What I really want to know is…. When I’m making a call how do o stop it switching off the maps?

The uncomfortable truth: Apple CarPlay is installed in 800+ vehicle models from every major manufacturer. It's one of the most-used software platforms in the automotive industry. And most drivers use 3 features: Maps, Music, Calls. Calendar-to-navigation that auto-routes to meetings. Siri that dictates emails and texts hands-free. Driving Focus that silences 40 daily distractions. Location reminders that capture ideas on arrival. Widgets that predict your next destination. Smart home control from the driver's seat. Offline maps that work in dead zones. SharePlay for collaborative road trip playlists. Announce Messages that read texts aloud. Independent volume controls for Siri vs media. Shortcut automations that trigger 5 actions on connection. All free. All built in. All sitting behind one settings menu and one Siri command most drivers have never used. The sales rep's last line: "I drive 30,000 miles a year. That's 500+ hours in my car. For 4 years, those were wasted hours music and directions. Now those same hours produce 10+ client communications, 30+ captured ideas, zero missed meetings, and zero phone distractions. My car became my most productive workspace. Not my desk. Not my home office. My car. Because I finally opened CarPlay's settings." 11 features. 15 minutes of setup. 500 hours of commute transformed from dead time to productive time. Same car. Same commute. Same CarPlay. Different driver.

Apple CarPlay is installed in 800+ million vehicles worldwide. Most drivers use it for 3 things: Maps. Music. Phone calls. That's a fully integrated car operating system doing the job of a $20 phone mount and a Bluetooth speaker. CarPlay in 2026 has widgets that predict your next destination, calendar integration that auto-navigates to meetings, smart home controls that open your garage before you arrive, Siri automations that run 5 actions at departure, a Driving Focus mode that silences everything except emergencies, and offline maps that work in zero-signal dead zones. A sales rep who drives 30,000 miles a year told me: "I spend 2-3 hours a day in my car. For 4 years I used CarPlay for directions and Spotify. Then a friend who works at Apple showed me 11 features I'd never touched. My car became a mobile office. My commute became productive time. I haven't missed a meeting, forgotten an errand, or answered a spam call in my car since." Here are 11 CarPlay features that turn your commute from dead time into productive time 🧵

@ksargant83 @sophietibbles_ 1/3!!!!!

@OJBorg @sophietibbles_ May've been a 0/3 but having Midnight Mastermind going out live on Matt's show on Trax FM in Aus too & then playing same song simultaneously after is wild!!🇬🇧🇦🇺

@emil_franchi MATE. Wicked news. Also I thought you were wearing a Newcastle shirt and this was you sighing for the first team (but in the 80s)

A brief but huge post to say I’ve got a new job. Speak in September! 📻 Mission complete here 🫶

Unfortunately insurance company doesn't cover the theft so my only option is to accept help from you guys. gofund.me/7aa1157c2 I really hate needing to take money from other people, but so many of you really want to help so a gofundme seems like the only option to be able to continue doing what I love. I set the goal to $15,000 because that's my guess for the minimum value of everything I think I had, but I'd be super appreciative to get any amount from the community. Anything to be able to get me back to being able to photograph events and able to get back to work. Thanks in advance to everyone who supports me and helps me get back to my passion ❤️

Actor Sam Neill was asked what was the greatest lesson he learned from his parents. He recalled his mother’s simple but profound advice: “Sometimes you just have to pull yourself together. It’s a tough lesson, but it’s a good one.” Wise words from a man who lived his life with grace and dignity. Rest in peace, Sam Neill.

@corkifephotogr1 I get the point. But they also didn’t post this till the quarter finals. So it’s not comparable. Had Scotland done the same I’d argue they would have posted about Scotland.

@OJBorg Didn’t see them support us in our crucial game vs Denmark to qualify or the Welsh or NI in their playoffs which were as crucial. So no it’s pretty clear as we know it’s the English armed forces (as it’s Westminster controlled ).

Honestly. This sort of good natured banter is what national pride should be about. Respect others always but be proud of this country and everything that makes it great.

@corkifephotogr1 But let’s say for sake of arguments they did as we don’t know for sure they wouldn’t. What would you think?

@OJBorg They wouldn’t have - that’s the point. We all know that.

@corkifephotogr1 I get your point but just as a Q. Had Scotland got further in this WC and the same account posted it about Scotland would you feel the same way?

@OJBorg Since when was it the English armed forces.. guess the rest of us missed the point when Scotland was removed from Great Britain.

Me and the Melvinator were part of the CiN Bargain Hunt and on Saturday you can bid on the items we bought.... here! bbc.co.uk/bargainhunt

How I feel 4 days a week.

@OJBorg Or 2.30am on a Friday 🎶 #Ravio2

Only the best things happen around 1am.

@BenKentish @joshglancy I’d argue lots of industries (ours included) are conducted in the same way. Meritocracies are few and far between.

@joshglancy To some degree, definitely. I think more so now than under Callaghan, Thatcher, even Blair, though

This entire article is a prime example of why the political system is broken. Cabinets are picked on the basis of patronage, reward for loyalty, factional considerations and the need to massage the egos of so-called “big beasts”. Imagine how much better government would function if the best people were put in the right jobs.

Every great stage needs a sound worthy of its scale. The EWC26 Orchestral Anthem is out now!

I like lots of people regularly have to to travel to the London for work related things and I love being down there. I don't see the issue people going the other way every now and again. Please can we make the trains run a bit better though for all of our anxiety.

@Thorin FAK!

It's important in CS to take time out to celebrate the legends of our game so let's all acknowledge that this year we saw Turkey's legendary leader take a step back into inactivity after accomplishing so much that will never be forgotten. All hail gob b!

@BroadBeano Hes not in fancy dress and all us hulkamaniacs agree.

It really is the best video ever. Never fails to make me laugh.
