@joncoupland Seven years ago I watched a lady ease herself out of her wheelchair and behind the wheel. She and her McLaren then shot up Prescott Hill Climb at a very impressive rate. It was fantastic to see.

@markchristie If it happens again give me a call. (Hopefully a BB breaking is once in a blue moon.)

@grahamoddey Thanks Graham - that’s kind. Rescued by Pip; although your RR would have necessitated far less bicycle dismantling to fit!

No point in wasting a breakdown. Changing the brake blocks while I wait for a lift. Bottom bracket buggered. #alliterativebreakdown

@markchristie @MotoClark Well they had to keep it because they’ve got all those nice little cards to hand out to citizens to inform us about the new rules. And they need those because they seemed to forget to tell anyone about the new rules in the first place.

@MotoClark They were challenged on it at a council meeting last week. After the (sadly usual) snickering and attempting to time the motion out, they voted the changes that would have removed the bureaucracy down. Be good to have a council that did something to benefit residents now and then

@railnigel They did the same thing with me last Saturday and repeated it on Sunday: went to completely the wrong postcode. Twice.

1/ Am beyond furious. Just spent an hour staring down my drive waiting a DPD delivery which was gradually getting closer. At 15 mins away, the tracking message suddenly changed to 'You weren't there to take delivery we'll be back Monday' - with a picture of someone else's

@DPD__local I think your security has been compromised. I have been contacted by a man I think is a scammer in connection with a delivery you missed to me

@AbdiDuale_ Who, exactly, are you to decide what is “fair”?

Only on this platform could “cheaper trains and prescriptions” be treated as scandalous while taxing the most expensive properties is framed as tyranny. Labour shifting burden from workers to wealth isn’t radical. What’s radical is pretending the status quo is/was ever fair.

@markchristie @MotoClark Or the essential extra waterproofing depth?

@grahamoddey @MotoClark Question is... is a ceramic bezel a win in this company? ;-)

@markchristie @MotoClark (Still staying out of this…)

@MotoClark Yeah, it's cute, but...

@lancecheek Weird.

@OxfordshireCC How will this fix: impossible parking at hospitals, roads The Moon would be ashamed of or Eynsham’s park & ride? Deluded idiots.

@monstroso This would be worth the admission for John Thomson’s Christopher Walken impression alone. Huge entertainment from such a talented team. Pure gold.

The old team. Back for one last mission.

@markchristie You’re too kind.

@jollybeggars Lovely photo. We used to walk around this as a family 50 years ago. Must go back next time I’m in the area.

@timoldland There’s one near me with a dark green outside and a tan inside. It may be boring, but it works beautifully. This one is an acquired taste. If/when they sell it, I doubt they’ll need to care what it fetches.

There’s rich, then there’s ‘speccing a purple Cullinan then paying extra for cloth seats on a £450k Rolls’ type rich 😳 FWIW, I love cloth, it’s much better than leather in all temperatures, just maybe not in that particular trim 😂 autotrader.co.uk/car-details/20…

@macarthurjeff @markchristie There’s no “in the making about it.” It’s been there for decades. Stupid decision follows stupid decision….

@markchristie Another shithole in the making.

@ListerLawrence One of my sister’s friends had his car stereo stolen. He replaced it with a removable unit. On the day he got it, he put in his house… which was robbed while he was out.

Who just put them in their glove box? 🙋‍♂️

@MotoClark They just… work, don’t they?

@markchristie The state: those who decide and those who do. The Hackers and Sir Humphreys. The ambitious but incapable leading the unmotivated and incapable. A surrogate welfare state.

Is there anyone left who still thinks the state is on the side of normal people and basically benevolent?
