The Famous Eccles

@BenjiNaesen A couple of years ago it was four or five. Now it’s two - MvdP and Pog - and others (some of whom are objectively outstanding) who pick up the scraps.

There’s no Big 6 in Pro Cycling. There’s maybe 3 or 4.

@BladeoftheS No. Their life. Laws exist to protect against people who do harm irrespective of their appearance, lifestyle, everything else.

Has anyone ever actually had a problem with a Trans person? Remember to reply if you haven't.

@anon_opin Played at a lot of funerals, I reckon.

I can understand Mr Brightside constantly being in the UK top 100 charts due to always being played at parties. However who is listening to Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls every week to put it in the charts every week?

@Andie00471 Can only assume the plan to invade Nicaragua / Colombia.

Could someone from Maganistan please explain to me how we plan to “manufacture” coffee in the United States? *if you reply with “In Hawaii” congratulations, you won today’s I am a dumb dumb gold sticker.

@northolt3103 @BBCTomEdwards No, but it’ll go south of the river.

@BBCTomEdwards Will the bus go through Red lights!

WORLD EXCLUSIVE: First run on the cycle bus. One every 12 minutes through Silvertown tunnel. Room for 8 bikes. Turn up and go and free. Will it work??

@SarahAnnEgan @tntsports I’m basically not watching. 😭 I’m expecting to add TNT to my Sky sub later this month for Holy Week and will cancel it after July. £150, total rip-off but it’s that or find another sport

HELP! Where’s everyone watching their cycling these days? I used to watch all my pro cycling on GCN, then Discovery+. Since this whole viewing rights mess, I’ve switched to Now TV—but the downside is you have to watch live, no catch-up. (Oh and also @tntsports mostly give away the result on their thumbnail 🤬)

@BobFromAccounts @CS3Count Last time I passed the one on Blackfriars Bridge it was showing “-2” cyclists that day…

9 am this morning, 510573+ cycle journeys since the beginning of the year along the Embankment But, according to a pro-driving account, bike sales are down ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Probably has more to do with bikes lasting a lifetime. @CS3Count

@anon_opin I’ll start saying Euro when they accept them at Tescos.

British people need to stop saying EUROS, it's EURO. It's always been EURO. Two euro, fifty euro, eight billion euro. It's always EURO. Why do only British people get this wrong?

@haveigotnews How fat people are

@poppy_cooks Destiny’s Child sang a song about this so it must be quite a common problem.

@daniellloyd1 Bit of Zone 2 never hurt anyone?

I wonder whether Pogačar is simply worried about detraining on these flat stages. They can be incredibly easy if there aren't crosswinds. Of course he might just be bored. #UAETour

@Mr1000CR Same as the first one. Brilliantly engineered but when it came to it only a handful of people would pay Porsche money for a Honda.

What ever happened to the 2nd Generation Honda NSX?

@roadcc Speaking as a very keen cyclist, the only noticeable change is that pedestrians step out into the road without looking more often now.

The Highway Code changes three years on… and it’s not looking great Most drivers wrongly believe cyclists must ride single file, stay close to the kerb, and use cycle lanes – and one in three say they shouldn’t have equal rights, survey finds road.cc/312627 #cycling

@SimonCarGuy It looks like a no-name body kit on a 1991 NSX.

Ok. What’s your view on the F80? Good? Bad? Meh?

@AutoPap Every decade they do it for a couple of years and then go dull again.

A few years ago, who would have though Renault would be producing the most desirable every day cars.

@kimleadbeater I’m sitting outside a hospital ward waiting to see my (terminal) mother right at this moment. No one wants to say goodbye to a loved one, but when the time comes surely we must be able to provide an end with dignity, control and following the person’s own wishes.

Having had the weekend to reflect on the wealth of info from oral witnesses last week for my Private Members' Bill on Choice at the End of Life, I keep coming back to five things that really stuck with me 🧵 #AssistedDying 1/7

@PistonBroker @mastropotato Just Bearpit things.

@mastropotato Why is that blue Transit parked on the island against the traffic?!😱

Let’s stare at some traffic in Bristol. Much to enjoy

@Sam_Dumitriu If someone lives five miles out of a major city and struggles to get into it the solution is bikes and protected cycle lanes, never mind building houses.

What's the Government's plan then? They have talked about a 'zoning scheme' where development meeting certain criteria near train stations would have a strong presumption in favour of development.

New: Labour have announced a big push on planning reform slashing green paperwork, cutting down on excessive consultation, and making it easier to build near train stations. In short, this is what going for growth looks like. Here’s the key changes and why they matter. 🧵

@anon_opin Also, it’s fascinating how many of them are still banging about how they haven’t had “the vaccine”. I haven’t even thought about it for multiple years.

There should be a directory of non-gammony tradesmen. I don't want to hear your views on stopping the boats when I bring you a brew. Just fix my boiler.
