30 years ago yesterday I left the UK to ride across America on my bike. Today I started blogging my daily diary. mseries9091.wordpress.com and I shall try to blog daily

Well, yeah. Happy Christmas. Why not.

@PeopleofLeeds Do try to see The Queens Hotel and their projections transforming it into a Gingerbread House. Last day in 23rd Dec though,

When I was young, we would drive around to look at Christmas lights - I might take my boys tomorrow night but where have you seen some impressive festive lights in Leeds?

@MrDCornelius @2wheelsgoodBrum @wfcouncil @TfL no, because riding a bike on a road is not illegal even if there is a parallel cycle lane, whereas entering a cycle lane in a motor vehicle is illegal.. But I think you know this already

🚲To keep road users safe we’ve started using @TfL powers on Forest Road to enforce against drivers entering mandatory cycle lanes. 🚗 In the first 6 months drivers who enter them will get a warning, then penalty charge notices will be issued. 👉More: orlo.uk/XRLDT

@johnnyramone @RamonesOfficial I'll be playing It's Alive, signing along as usual

Gabba Gabba Hey! Just 20, 20, 24 hours to go until we welcome in 2023. Which @RamonesOfficial song will you be blasting to ring in the New Year? #JohnnyRamone #Ramones #JohnnyRamoneArmy

Happy New Year.

hey @northernassist I have a Complimentary Travel Pass given to me after a delay a few years ago. Will it still be valid ? no dates on it

Anti Lockdown Protest ? really ? #doublenegative

#pickofthepops wtf is this ? not waynes world

I rode my bike from London to Edinburgh and back in 2005 for the first time

nope #pickofthepops I don't remember 2005, I must have been stoned or immaculate

@CyclingLain Now I can't get "Can't get you outta my head" out of my head now

Just used HG Scale Away on my shower cubicle.....can’t get bloody Enya out of my head now.....🙄

@Glavlar I was seeing a girl call Joanna at that point in the 80s, she didn't like the song

I feel sorry for anyone called Joanna at this point in the 80s. They've all had a drunk sing this to them in a pub. #pickofthepops

@evibenstein this guy @SteDan_Official

@ABeardWalks Someone in this town has had a trailer permanently on the road, with their wheelie bins next to it. It hasn't moved for years

@SurreyRoadCops because: I'll report incidents of careless driving, close passes. Local Police will do nothing, I'll get upset and depressed.

Reasons why you DON’T have a Dash/Helmet Cam…? 1️⃣ Cost. 2️⃣ Don’t feel it’s necessary. 3️⃣ Can’t decide what camera to get. 4️⃣ Don’t like being watched all the time. 5️⃣ Don’t want my own driving recorded. 6️⃣ Company car, to their choice. 7️⃣ Other reason Reply below…

@snathe I keep tropical fish,

@DeniseW35985649 @LUFC Those are my memories too. Peter would see us walking down Sweet Street and start getting the pints ready for us.

@LUFC So sad to hear this news. I remember Peter well from his pub in Holbeck. I worked at Kays where in those days, we often had a drink at lunchtime. Always had a laugh with him. Also John Charles sat at the bar. Happy days. RIP Peter. Condolences to his family ❤

🤍 Rest in peace Peter

Peter had retired from playing by the time I came to Leeds. I met him many many times in the Commercial in the mid '90s, he used to see us walking down the road and get 3 pints of Theakstons ready for us. #legend, may you RIP Sir

@JenOnTheMoveUK oh yes, though, isn't it OK for young people to be geeky now ?

@CyclingLain Me too, my mate and colleague died this morning.

Have felt like a bag of shite all day, mentally and physically...... Might just bugger off to bed and drug myself to sleep....
