OK. That's over. Can we now please concentrate on the point competition at the Tour de France. Thank you.

As I got so fed up of BBC news right wing propaganda, but love listening to Six Music, I developed some code to download a show and strip out the news segments. My new grumble is endless TV license adverts now, inane wooden actors, enough to make you want to cancel it.

Rummaging around the office cupboards looking for a biscuit, bingo, the motherland, take a closer look at the unopened packet, gluten free 😭

Bit blustery today, but didn't get wet and it was still warm enough for shorts, I'll take that for a November commute to work!

One for UK cyclists, decathlon own brand chains, so the 10 and 11 speed for example are reboxed KMC X10 and X11, but the decathlon 10 speed is £12.99 and the 11 speed £14.99 thats about £5 less than buying a KMC branded chain

The SON light is back on for winter, I have the dynamo version on my other bike, this bike doesn't have a dynamo so I use a 20v Parkside battery with a buck converter, the light will accept 5v to 15v as input voltage, it's an exceptionally good light

Our democracy is too precious to be a plaything for foreign tech barons. Elon Musk doesn’t care about the British people or our rights. He only cares about himself and his ego.

I enjoy BBC 6 music, but I hate being forced fed news every hour, the BBC these days, it is all daily mail style sensationalist nonsense, so I spent a few hours cobbling together a process to download a show, strip out the news, leaving me with an m4a audio file I can play on my device

Manchester transport strategy: make walking the natural transport choice Manchester pavements:
Pavement where the right hand side is blocked by large signs (for a vehicle diversion) and with cars parked on the left hand side of the pavement. The pram being pushed would not fit through the gaps between the pram and the cars.

Yep, they actually closed this shared path to install 2 bollards across it, that'll stop any cars 🤦
A pedestrian and cycle path with roadway to the right and front, straight ahead the path is fenced off to allow for two bollards to be installed, however the bollards are easily defeated as the space is open to the left and right

I had my Ortlieb rollers for over 10 years and they have been fab, so when they needed to be replaced, getting the same again seemed sensible

Reported a traffic light that used to recognise bicycles suddenly stopped last week, submitted a report to Cheshire East and they have come back saying it does not pose a risk at this point in time, f**k me

Freezing "non-essential" immigration, lowering business taxes and leaving the European Convention on Human Rights aren't really in the scope of Northamptonshire County Council's scaffolding licence committee, sorry.
