@colinwalker79 @Telegraph Less than 1% of road wear in the UK is caused by all cars vans and motorcycles added up.. A UK-focused peer-reviewed analysis found HGVs contributed around 87% of the “road wear impact factor”, buses/coaches about 12%, and cars, vans and motorcycles less than 1% combined

Crafty bit of EV misinfo from the @Telegraph here Headline 'asks' 'do EVs cause potholes?' Expert basically says 'no, not really' This is a classic example of 'Betteridge's Law' - which states that any headline ending in a question mark can be answered with "no" 1/6

@tyresemaxeyyaoi Brighton

what's the uk's "fourth" city? i feel like the top 3 of London, Manchester and Birmingham are pretty settled but the 4th is pretty ambiguous, maybe Ormskirk, Poulton-le-Fylde, Birkenhead or perhaps Bootle

@malprin I might add in some French Bread Pizza which was always burnt and frozen at the same time

Rushes to Fine Fare 🏃 🥞

@ArtyBagger The dad has love in his eyes for his baby 🥺

This famous old viral clip aches to let us know how that beautiful wee boy turned out, with the Hot Dad From Heaven. Please let it be good.

@strawfansite It’s a pretty cute and lovely melody with a dark lyric. Which I love

41 years ago todays, Since Yesterday reviewed on the 'pop panel' segment of BBC kids' TV show Saturday Superstore. The non musicians disparaged it but the musicians were approving. Delia Smith hated the 'doom & gloom', Midge Ure retorted 'I quite enjoy a bit of misery'!

@thatbloodyMikey I loved that era where being on tv in front of 15 million people promoting your single meant a new dress from River Island £18

Just thought I'd let you old cunts know, that Saturday Night was UK Number one on this day, 31 Bastard years ago. x

@mrkhndy @h4ckys4ck We’re all tired these days

@h4ckys4ck No need to peg me you have a penis

Just having my bedtime rice. I do keep it real with mullerice, but sometimes you gotta look after yourself.

@omid9 That’s a lovely story Omid

Sad to hear of the passing of Joe Bugner who twice took on Muhammad Ali. I met him once as a kid - so here’s a share from a short snapshot in time. Before his much publicised fight with Joe Frazier in Earls Court in 1973, he came into my local swimming pool at the Kensington Close hotel which is next to the yellow brick Tara hotel behind High St. Kensington tube station. I’ll never forget his sheer physical presence, literally making the pool look half the size. I swam with some trepidation fearful not to disturb him. He then disappeared in the pool but suddenly emerged from under me and we collided with some force. Seeing that I was winded, he apologised profusely. As I recognised him and knew he had a fight coming up, we sat and chatted for a while. I was 7 but he treated me like an adult. Not just an adult but an adult boxing fan. He even introduced me to his trainer, the hugely charismatic and legendary Andy Smith, also unrelentingly kind, and who explained Joe found swimming relaxing before a fight and even talked tactics for the fight. I had no idea what he talking about but still listened intently. Before leaving the pool they both shook my hand and said “great to meet you mate, be good” after I’d wished them luck. At that moment as a 7 year old I sincerely felt I knew two things: that I was their mate, and that I HAD to be good. I couldn’t let Joe and Andy down. I even got into a panic. What would they say if I met them again and found out that I wasn’t? That was the effect they had on me 😊 God bless boxing angels. Especially this funny one ⬇️

@Georgez0011 @JeremyVineOn5 @theJeremyVine Tokyo, Singapore and Hong Kong. You could describe those places as overcrowded, however they are, to many, pleasant and popular environments, to the point of being enormous tourist magnets. The first two have extremely high levels of prosperity which is partly due to the density.

@JeremyVineOn5 @theJeremyVine we need an actual 'marker' which says when a place is overpopulated. Because argument is used too often. One indicator is the size of traffic jams. But then that could also indicate the lack of public transport provision.

"We are overpopulated, we've got no space anymore." "Something has to be done." 📞 Julie, who worked in hotels and at Manston Asylum Centre, says it's not racist to believe the country is full. @theJeremyVine | #JeremyVine

@DivineOfficial That gown is beautifully sewn and cut

@JeremyVineOn5 I think the manufacturers will immediately raise prices by £4000

Is the government right to use taxpayer cash to help buy electric cars? A new government scheme has come into effect, offering grants of almost £4,000. Critics highlight the lack of charging points and say the scheme will only benefit the well-off. What do you think?

@jamesdavidmagee @LBC @NadineDorries That’s ‘Dame’ Nadine thank you! oh wait……

@LBC Bless, @NadineDorries got rejected again by the BBC?

Once a global beacon for high quality broadcasting, the BBC is now the bastion of socialism, writes Nadine Dorries lbc.co.uk/opinion/views/…

@MumbrianSpinner And now the nights are drawing in

How many times have you said, "Fucking hell, it's hot" this week? About 12,589 here. Still, soon be Christmas.

@Incognito_Guy07 @Otto_English It’s more malevolence signalling I’d say.

@Otto_English Virtue signalling window dressing is all these people are capable of. I'll bet, by any metric you want to name, that within the life of this council they'll have made every service worse for the people of Durham.

Bunch of Cnuts.

@lillai23 For your delight bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

On the news about the prison governor being jailed for 9 years for shagging an inmate who’s a drug lord I was thinking, he must be hot to ruin your life & career over picture of the inmate: a pink potato 😆😆😆 Oh girl, why 😆

@Ryanhakurei @DodgeWallet @WallStreetApes Here you go! Happy to help nhs.uk/nhs-services/d…

@IainDale @SimonMarksFSN Simon was excellent but I missed you! Hope you’re doing well today

Those of you who listened to last night's show won't be surprised to know that I've lost my voice so can't be on air tonight, but luckily @SimonMarksFSN is available! I hope and expect to be back tomorrow!

@hunstantonsmith @lizabidobay I won the Spanish Dancing competition at the Son Baulo in Majorca aged 5. I’ve still got the certificate….peaked early

@lizabidobay I used to work in an office where lots of lads had their PHDs up on the wall - another guy had framed his certificate that said something like "3rd place poetry competition, age 6-9, Northampton Echo"🙌

Fair play to those who choose to do so but I absolutely cannot imagine ever framing my graduation pictures or qualifications and hanging them up in my home or work office.

@BladeoftheS I married one on balance it’s great but he snores sometimes
