@davidjbrodie @Bunnahabhain Not enough blue sky David. See you on the other side, once I manage to #deactivate

Today’s @Bunnahabhain VFTV is the last one from me for a while. Visit Tilly’s Instagram at @tillys_tipple_ if you need a fix before I’m back! 😁👍🥃

No 💩 Sherlock!

@davidliv25 Any sign of a Blue Sky? 🤫

The sky from Lagavulin Bay this morning.

@BenmoreBotGdn Fabulous! Are they new and/or temporary? And any plans to move that blue sky to #Bluesky ?

This is not good news for cycling in the UK. Firstly, I'd like to say that there are a lot of passionate cycling fans working at WBD, in front of and behind the scenes. The company is automatically 'disliked' by a cohort of the general public because it's a huge international conglomerate, but Eurosport have been showcasing cycling since 1991. They have, and continue to do a hell of a lot for our sport. On the flip side, exclusivity on the biggest race in the world, the ONLY race where non-cycling fans might tune is, is very worrying. It's a significant barrier to entry into what is already a relatively niche sport in the UK. ITV not only do a fantastic job themselves of broadcasting the race, live and with easily accessible highlights, they provide a gateway to WBD. The fans they 'convert' each July are more likely to subscribe to Discovery+/Max/Eurosport once they've realised how amazing our sport is. They must have made lifelong cycling fans of millions of people over the last few decades (including me). Anyway, I really feel for Ned, Dave, Pete, Matt, Daniel, Gary and all the others behind the ITV production - thank you for all you've done for the sport.

Hezbollah reveal first image of the man who they say sold them their pagers.

I love this man whoever he is

Meanwhile in Chicago.

@davidjbrodie @Bunnahabhain Never tire of hearing that sound. 👌

The road’s in bits but the @Bunnahabhain “view from the verandah” is still stunning! 😂👍🥃♥️🤷‍♂️

@davidjbrodie Looks like it might make canny chain lube…..

Tapering continues, pedalling tomorrow…. At the Distillery we make 70,000 litres of this stuff about a dozen times a week, yet here I am paying £6 for 4 wee cans of it at a reduced strength! Is it Hazy IPA or is it W.A.S.H? 😂🤷‍♂️

@ianmacphotos @MHW_PR Really sad news, and a complete shock. We were only in touch in June, where he again went over and above to profer some advice for some friends visiting his beloved Mallorca for the first time. A true gentleman. Gan canny bonnie lad!

Shocked and saddened to hear of the sudden passing of a true gentleman of the trade and friend and colleague over many decades Wayne Halton @MHW_PR My thoughts are with his family and Wayne’s many friends and colleagues at this very sad time Rest in peace Wayne and thank you..🙏🏻

@davidjbrodie @GlenMorayDist @Bunnahabhain Mixed allegiances here, but seeing as it’s you……

I like @GlenMorayDist loads but I’d still be grateful for any votes and ReTweets you can manage to help the @Bunnahabhain cause! I THANK YOU….. ♥️♥️♥️

@markcatchlove Well done that man; the A1 is a disgrace; the M1 little better.

4.30 am this morning I left home to collect the MIL who lives 260 miles away. Got back home at 4.30 this evening. The A1 was evil today. I'm knackered. Cheers

@marty_lawrance @twbpt I wonder if they’ve paid for the scaffold permit where they’d have to have demonstrated the requisite £5M public liability insurance.

@marty_lawrance @twbpt Yup; scaffold’s out of plumb; scary, given where it is.

Is the building wonky or is it the scaffold?

@TyneSnapper @Danford2013 Bl**dy designers!

@Danford2013 I think he was either the architect or a designer and said he didn't want any photographs taken before YOLO was completed. Didn't cut any ice with me and I told him so, expletive, expletive, expletive - 'go forth and multiply' 😱📷

#NewastleUponTyne In all of my years in taking photographs I've only been approached once by someone who took exception. This guy at the building work on YOLO Townhouse, High Bridge, Newcastle upon Tyne reckoned I couldn't take photographs of the works. My reply unprintable.😉📷

@PolicyNCL @CatMcKinnell @UniofNewcastle @StudentsNCL There is much to do….

@RoadworkUK What about Porsche’ “diesel” and the ridiculous font it’s been done in.

The huge KOMPRESSOR badge on Mercedes C180s always seemed an oddly ostentatious way to advertise base-model status.

@Ryder1953 Proof positive that nice guys do sometimes win.

Exactly 24 years to the day that partner Ian Kennedy joined Ryder, he parts ways for his next chapter in retirement. As we celebrate Ian's impressive career, we thank him for his beacon of support, guidance, and daily pep and positivity. 👏

My niece Beth has gone missing. She got on the Jubilee line at Westminster towards Stratford. She’ll be confused - if you see her please DM
