Boudicca of Suburbia @boudicca.bsky.social · 17/08/2026The hunt for the perfect cycling shoes is over. 081
Boudicca of Suburbia @boudicca.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Look what my friend Rom bought me from the TdFF in Nice! Rom is now officially my favourite and all other friends have been demoted accordingly. 240
Boudicca of Suburbia @boudicca.bsky.social · 05/08/2026I’m impressed by the toilets in Oxford, where there are apparently facilities for women, men, disabled people, parents, ballerinas and disabled people from the Isle of Man.* * It took me a while, but I think I’ve figured them all out apart from the ballerina. 6112
Boudicca of Suburbia @boudicca.bsky.social · 31/07/2026I think the posts seem pretty tame, certainly not worth police time. 110
Boudicca of Suburbia @boudicca.bsky.social · 04/06/2026Just saw David Bowie: You’re Not Alone at The Lightroom. Absolutely *awesome*! I came out buzzing and a bit emotional. Don’t miss it! 140
Boudicca of Suburbia @boudicca.bsky.social · 04/06/2026I miss the days when I only hated Nigel Farage for Brexit. A more innocent time, before we knew what a vile and divisive racist he is. 362
Boudicca of Suburbia @boudicca.bsky.social · 15/05/2026I see your Ed Miliband, and I raise you Andy Burnham. 110
Boudicca of Suburbia @boudicca.bsky.social · 04/05/2026So many problems with driverless cars, but @thetimes.com just publishes Waymo’s puff piece. Meanwhile, the problem is *not* that local authorities don’t know where potholes are, it’s getting LAs to fill them in. 🙄 131
Boudicca of Suburbia @boudicca.bsky.social · 24/04/2026On my doormat this morning. I feel dirty just touching it to chuck it in the bin. 😒 000
Boudicca of Suburbia @boudicca.bsky.social · 23/04/2026Is Trump now saying it’s America that’s blocking the Strait of Hormuz? And what ‘deal’ does he expect from Iran in return? His pronouncements just get more and more deranged. 211
Boudicca of Suburbia @boudicca.bsky.social · 22/04/2026This is why we need electoral reform. 73% of people don’t want Reform, but that’s what we’d get under FPTP. 000
Boudicca of Suburbia @boudicca.bsky.social · 16/04/2026No words. At least none I can use on Bluesky. 040
Boudicca of Suburbia @boudicca.bsky.social · 02/04/2026I’ve gone down the rabbit hole on this one! Simplest explanation was on Reddit. As a British person, rejecting ‘burglarise’ is a hill I am prepared to die on. 😬 291
Boudicca of Suburbia @boudicca.bsky.social · 06/03/2026The answer Andrew Neil is looking for is ‘No. Starmer finally found his backbone.’ 392
Boudicca of Suburbia @boudicca.bsky.social · 28/02/2026Feel like I need to apologise. I should have seen this coming 😞 110
Boudicca of Suburbia @boudicca.bsky.social · 26/02/2026Because of our antiquated first-past-the-post system, Gorton and Denton could be won by Reform, which the majority of local voters clearly do not want. The current system is not fit for purpose. We urgently need electoral reform. 030
Boudicca of Suburbia @boudicca.bsky.social · 16/02/2026So many responses come to mind - most of them expletives. So I’m going to start with Reform’s own argument: I thought Britain was full? 240
Boudicca of Suburbia @boudicca.bsky.social · 30/01/2026I’ve already been shopping in IKEA for a nice table to put it on in the hall. 150
Boudicca of Suburbia @boudicca.bsky.social · 20/01/2026Good to see Metro giving the tangerine narcissist the respect he deserves. 142
Boudicca of Suburbia @boudicca.bsky.social · 10/01/2026Yesterday I saw this mural is near Waterloo Station. I love the message. Never change, London. 061
Boudicca of Suburbia @boudicca.bsky.social · 17/11/2025I wish more Labour MPs would stand up and say this stuff. Surely *most* of them hate what the government is doing? 132
Boudicca of Suburbia @boudicca.bsky.social · 17/11/2025Just *once* I’d like to start the day without being incredibly disappointed in Labour. 061
Boudicca of Suburbia @boudicca.bsky.social · 15/11/2025Seems like Homeland Security’s Twitter account is being run by a 14 year old. Hope he enjoys his work experience. 😐 021
Boudicca of Suburbia @boudicca.bsky.social · 10/11/2025I’ve just made my own lavender bags with lavender from our garden, because it smells lovely and apparently moths hate the stuff. Am I at the forefront of a less planet-exploiting, more sustainable way of living, or have I just become someone’s maiden aunt? 330
Boudicca of Suburbia @boudicca.bsky.social · 28/10/2025Labour doing Reform’s job for them again, I see. 😞 020
Boudicca of Suburbia @boudicca.bsky.social · 17/10/2025Absolutely love this from the Post Office - let’s celebrate diversity in all its forms. 061
Boudicca of Suburbia @boudicca.bsky.social · 15/10/2025Yay! Mince pies! Better quickly eat a couple to, you know, check they’re ok. 🥧 🥧 🥧 150
Boudicca of Suburbia @boudicca.bsky.social · 06/10/2025‘Every chair you own is a commitment to mediocrity…’ IKEA must be quaking in their flat pack boots. 628114
Boudicca of Suburbia @boudicca.bsky.social · 21/08/2025This sort of thing happens to me all the time. This summer I cycled in Majorca and *all* the traffic is *super* polite. Not a single close pass or motorist threatening me from behind. The infrastructure & street signs support cyclists, with +ve impact on driver mentality & behaviour #BeMoreMajorca 110
Boudicca of Suburbia @boudicca.bsky.social · 21/08/2025Paging @romanpalace.bsky.social. *This* is the product every Roman palace needs. 000
Boudicca of Suburbia @boudicca.bsky.social · 09/08/2025So now our Prime Minister is looking at ICE in the US and thinking ‘oh yes, let’s have some of that in the UK.’ If I’d wanted this sh*t, I would have voted for Reform. I don’t want it, the vast majority of people didn’t vote for it, and yet we seem to have it anyway. 😞 030
Boudicca of Suburbia @boudicca.bsky.social · 28/07/2025Final stage and gone was the familiar polo. Gary was resplendent in blue with a chic jacket.Truly an outfit for the ages. Now we must come to terms with the end of ITV’s coverage; no more Gary, Pete, Ned or David. Gone but never forgotten. Vive le Tour! Vive Gary Imlach! #TDF2025 #CouchPeloton 050
Boudicca of Suburbia @boudicca.bsky.social · 25/07/2025It’s been a long Tour and Gary’s tired. Today he eschewed his familiar polo for a more relaxed look. There’s little doubt that he’ll romp home in Paris, but Pete must be hoping now that he can take one of the final stages. #TDF2025 #couchpeloton @pam-polly.bsky.social 230
Boudicca of Suburbia @boudicca.bsky.social · 24/07/2025Gary’s usual exuberance was smothered by the weather today. We saw flashes of a masterful blue polo, but shrouded in charcoal grey. Pete also struggled with his form, looking very much like a man in a Mac on the London Underground. #TDF2025 #couchpeloton #GaryImlach @pam-polly.bsky.social 140
Boudicca of Suburbia @boudicca.bsky.social · 23/07/2025#TDF2025 Gary looks sleek and classy in a black polo, with aero ribbing to save valuable watts. No one has come close to his level this tour, and with fewer and fewer stages remaining, it seems unlikely that anyone will. #GaryImlach #couchpeloton @pam-polly.bsky.social 070
Boudicca of Suburbia @boudicca.bsky.social · 22/07/2025Me: Alexa, what happens if you’re crazy rich and drink formaldehyde for breakfast? Alexa: Meet Bryan Johnson 030
Boudicca of Suburbia @boudicca.bsky.social · 20/07/2025Some challenging concepts here, particularly making a shoe drink. Apart from anything, most of my prettiest shoes can’t be worn in the rain, never mind forced to drink. 😉 100
Boudicca of Suburbia @boudicca.bsky.social · 20/06/2025And fancy shoes; and getting drunk at garden parties. Anyone for Pimms? 2100
