@dothebartman1 The whole reapply for your job thing is BS and don’t blame you. FWIW you were doing the best with what you had, the players were obv in your corner so IMO youd have been well placed for a promotion drive next season.

@overlandertheb1 Not many options tbh, the area is a desert in terms of amenities. Even the nearest cafe is probably at Cameron toll

@overlandertheb1 It’s criminal what happened to the Northfield. My parents lived right next to it and we went there regularly for meals. Family tradition to go there on Christmas Eve for a few drinks with my dad 😔

The Northfield hotel was run by a young couple who seemed to be doing OK then it closed and then it caught fire a couple of times and was demolished and ticky-tacky boxes were put up. Who did that to Edinburgh Southern and why? It wasn't refugees.

It seems @ReformUKScot have got it wrong over the site of the former Northfield House Hotel - they said it would be used to house asylum seekers but the @Edinburgh_CC say that is not the case

@but_cyclists Hopefully they formally reported the incident and took the police id numbers. That’s 9 points worth of offences at least 3 for DWDC&A, 6 for using a mobile phone while driving

A cyclist - unfortunately dressed all in black with no high vis or lights - encounters a trained and licensed motorist.

@dannycantalk Ok but if everyone in a high density metropolitan area like New York or London suddenly decided to drive where do you expect them to park? Or are you guys holding out on someone inventing shrink rays? And I’ve not even got onto the resulting congestion or pollution 😂.

I do not want a walkable city. I do not want trains. I do not want busses. I want a car that can take me anywhere I want at any time. I don't want to be dependent on transit schedules. I want to choose who I'm traveling with, rather than going for luck of the draw. I want to be able to control my own climate while traveling. I want to be guaranteed a comfortable seat. I want somewhere to keep my things during a day out instead of having to carry everything with me. I want to buy and take home loads of groceries too big to carry without having to trouble myself with delivery services. I want to go through drive thrus. I want to be halfway home from work and impulsively decide to go to a restaurant on the other side of town and just change direction immediately. I want to drive around a new city to take in more than I could on foot or on a fixed route. I want to do road trips where we make up our journey as we go. I want to explore my own city at will without any particular plan. I want to visit small towns out of reach of even the most expansive proposed public transit systems. Essentially, I want freedom.

@PintsBeauty Prefer Krusovice but Budvar out of this list. Most of the Staropramen you get in the UK is a brewed under licence imitation.

@JJRCC1 Yep they’re embarrassing. Bad losers are one thing but bad winners are something else. A spoilt and entitled support used to getting their own way

🧵1/2: I’d had a few drinks in Florida and get seated next to an old guy at the poker table who’s got his phone in front of him with a screen saver of Ozzy Osbourne “Big Sabbath fan?” Stone silence I assume he’s just some grumpy old rocker

@but_cyclists I had Shimano on my Bianchi, that's a capital offence in some parts!

Has any cyclist in the UK ever done a cycling offence that would have warranted life imprisonment?

Tunnock's is pretty much the only brand I can think of that hasn't engaged in enshittifaction. No change to recipe, shrinkflation, rebranding, change in packaging. I hope they're still going when all their competitors are fucked.

@but_cyclists That’s actually over the unofficial motorcycle speed limit of 2x the posted limit + 10mph 😬

Between these two points the straight line distance is 146 metres. It took the motorcyclist six seconds to traverse that distance. 146 / 6 = 23.33m/s = 54.4mph So yes, slightly over the speed limit (2.7x)
