At Shotover car park yesterday. I tried to report using the fixmystreet app but am told to report this to @southoxon.bsky.social strangely I believe it to be @oxfordcitycouncil.bsky.social responsibility as the bin clearly shows Oxford City Council. Anyhow, consider now reported.

@badlyparkedox.bsky.social @oxfordpedestrians.bsky.social here's a good one along Hollow Way. It is parked in a drive, sadly the drive is meant for a standard car.

Sadly I wonder how long it'll be before those slightly right of centre in the UK start using the word communist/ism instead of the left. I see that the papers who seem that way inclined are already pushing the 'further left'fever dream in their headlines when mentioning @labouruk.bsky.social

listening to (sadly missed) The Jazz Butcher song The Line of Death and reminded of @anginedepoitrine.bsky.social . Except of course some/more lyrics. @thejazzbutcher.bsky.social Is it just me? Listen to it all.

I don't think I'd last long as a viewer on #gogglebox. The urge to use the off button would be too strong.

Why do so many companies on dropdowns insist on using an American flag and the wording English for language option these days? Is this 🇬🇧 unrecognisable across the world or are some people... ...... Who knows. But to me it's slightly annoying (sadly).

#Christmas is making an appearance. Seen today in Tesco. Is it late this year?

More patrons at the pub in Horspath Road fully on the pavement. Plenty of on road parking. @badlyparkedox.bsky.social @oxfordpedestrians.bsky.social @oxfordcitycouncil.bsky.social

Another new cycle parking stand installation spotted today. There are three that I pass regularly in Temple Cowley. None have been seen in use. @oxfordcitycouncil.bsky.social so far this seems like a waste of tax money. Who actually surveys the areas to see if these are needed.

@badlyparkedox.bsky.social @oxfordpedestrians.bsky.social this blue Skoda seems randomly left on the pavement outside a pub in Horspath Road. And they're displaying a blue badge!

Seen on my walk yesterday. Shoreditch old telephone exchange. Apparently the carving depicts a nude telephone engineer! Struggling to wrap cables around the earth. The blocks at top left are apparently relays used in call routing. #streetphotography #photography

Love to know the thinking behind these recently installed cycle stands at the top of Junction Road. I can't see them being used much, if at all. More in the city & other shopping areas not in places where people store bikes on their own properties, where they're safer. @oxfordshirecc.bsky.social

@oxfordcitycouncil.bsky.social are you aware of the state of the roof on this grade 2 listed cottage on Temple Road. Collapsing. @historicengland.bsky.social

Horspath Road today. This van is normally parked on road on the corner double yellows but smarter tho king today, no lines on the pavement. @badlyparkedox.bsky.social @oxfordpedestrians.bsky.social @oxfordshirecc.bsky.social

@badlyparkedox.bsky.social @oxfordshirecc.bsky.social Lovely colour BMW. Trading places on the blocked ltn roads. Perhaps they're trying to confuse the enforcement officers.

Gary @garybrimson.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

@oxfordshirecc.bsky.social your report an illegally parked vehicle webpages are not user friendly. They actually discourage reporting. You either need to put all reporting boxes on one page or the car details first. Also the buttons at the continue bottom on the last page needs to be above cancel.

@oxfordcitycouncil.bsky.social #Oxford does need homes. The two houses behind this hoarding have been empty for about 4 years. This new hoarding says there is a crisis. You seem to be doing little about solving it. A little less money on advertising and more on action? @theoxfordmail.bsky.social

@radiohead.wastehq.social just found these 2 fanzines in the loft while on the hunt for a note Paul Stanley sent me some years ago. In Abuse there's a nice visual of the second night of the debut #Blur tour in Japan @blurfanclub.bsky.social, couldn't find the note though, annoyingly.

Obviously a grey space for the driver of this parked car. Not in the bus pick up area, not on the road? Perfect. Templars Square. @badlyparkedox.bsky.social

A parent picking up their child from Tyndale School decides that parking on double yellows in a cycle lane at traffic lights is a good place to leave the car whilst they walk to the schools. Cars are banned from driving down the school road at certain times. @badlyparkedox.bsky.social

I think this is one of the best looking new buildings in #Oxford now. Hopefully others will take note. @ox.ac.uk @oxfordshirecc.bsky.social

This pavement along Hollow Way, Southfield Golf Course boundary. Have reported many times on Fix My Street but to no avail. @oxfordpedestrians.bsky.social. It should be wide enough for three pedestrians side by side but at some places people are forced onto the road to avoid others.
