David Maloney @dtrmcr.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Great, unless your council - like mine - personalises the results based on who has or has not paid for optional collections. Wow betide any gardener who relies on a non-gardening neighbour's address to check on the garden waste bin dates! 000

David Maloney @dtrmcr.bsky.social · 13/08/2026I'm playing Bob Dylan's Christian period albums in the background while working today. My mind is on what I'm typing so the lyrics are floating past without sinking in. Musically speaking, the albums are a lot better than I expected. 000
David Maloney @dtrmcr.bsky.social · 09/08/2026I bought a ticket from Bristol to Northamptonshire via Paddington and it was cheaper than the ticket from Bristol to Paddington only. Am I morally compromised if my ticket covers *more than* my whole journey? 000

David Maloney @dtrmcr.bsky.social · 28/07/2026Your 10 year old should be free of charge on TfL services (buses, tube). They are normally expected to pay a child fare on National Rail services, so worth allowing a bit of extra time to check that if you're heading to a mostly rail area (e.g. Bromley, Bexley) 010

David Maloney @dtrmcr.bsky.social · 14/06/2026UK police operation names are chosen via a nationwide system to avoid duplication across different police forces (and presumably so that nobody chooses a name that's already in use for a covert operation of some kind). 000

David Maloney @dtrmcr.bsky.social · 04/03/2026Time and time again I get to the bottom of an excellent interview in the Guardian, then scroll up to see who wrote it, and see the name Simon Hattenstone.
